Here's a recent experience I had (few days ago). Noob: (After I pick Samus) "Ugh, I hate the robot. No missiles ok?" Me: *laughs, says nothing* *game starts* Me: *unloads massive amounts of missiles* He didn't protest in the game itself, because I guess he was smart enough to realize how lame...

This is pretty much how it goes when you tell some people that you play Smash, especially if they're a fan of the "real" fighting games. Other guy: "That game's so shallow and simple, I pretty much mastered the whole thing in like two days." Me: "Alright then, oh great master, mind playing me?"...

Wow. That was a really awesome video. Some of the tricks you used there, I haven't seen anywhere else, and I've seen quite a lot of Samus vids. +Rep for you.

Egads, look how much activity this has generated. ATM there's 19 people viewing the Samus section, far more than I've ever seen in the time I've been here.

Ho-lee sheeyit. Crashman just blew all the Samus player's minds. I can't believe it. There it was, right in front of us, the whole time! So simple, yet, so . . . furious. My little brother actually attempted this technique. At the time, I didn't appreciate the unfathomable genius of it, and...

Lord_Deathborne, have you played Metroid Prime 2? Samus and Dark Samus look kinda similar, in that they are both humanoid shapes and have the bulky shoulder orb things. Other than that, they are nothing alike. Dark Samus' suit (if it can be called a suit) is clearly organic in nature, it is...

This is the same kind of advice I would often give to up and coming Dawn of War players, it certainly worked for me to analyze my own matches. However, that game had a built-in replay system, so anyone could do it easily. With SSBM it's a bit different, because not everyone has a camera. I'd...

From this list, I would have to Say Rundus/Noxus. They look almost the same, they're both the same race, they both have ice-related weapons/powers, they could well be different costumes on the same character. But I think I'd want Dark Samus more than any of the other hunters. It (not a he or a...

Anyone heard anything new about the Metroid movie? Someone told me they cancelled it, which would be a huge relief. I couldn't bear to see Hollywood completely wreck my favorite game series of all time. I can see it already. Samus will be played by Jessica Alba or something, and the power...

Does this discussion of whether or not it's an exploit really matter? I for one, don't believe it does. Let's assume for a moment that Zombie Cola and those who agree with him are correct, wavedashing was an unitentional exploit that the developers never learned of until long after the game's...

This is the best thread I've ever seen in melee discussion. I thought I was the only one who experienced this. It's funny, I play Samus in every serious match and probably about 80% of my friendlies, but there are times when I think about picking up a new character. So I go read some guides...

Oh my god. That thing just freaked me out. I was doing OK on my third try, getting around .250 or such, and then on the fourth one, I somehow got .001, bringing my average down to whatever it is on the board. I am not ****ing kidding. I think I might somehow be slightly psychic or something...

I can definately vouch for what you're saying about being proactive. I used to be a pretty high-level player for a certain RTS, Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War, and I realized the value of being proactive, and making the opponent react to you, early in my 'career'. By taking control of the match, and...

Zodiak, I also have to agree with you on most of your points. I think Shiek is unique enough to merit a return. There aren't really any other characters that use her kind of fighting style. This is of course, assuming she gets quite a few changes to make her interesting and challenging to...

Good god, Mookie. If I could +rep you several times in a row I would. This info should be stickied somewhere I think, especially that last one about the stages of progression.
