With a classic controller you don't really have to tap the stick to do a smash attack and doing a tilt only requires an ever so slight push. I guess that could go either way depending on whether or not you have problems doing tilts. If you can do tilts and smash attacks with the classic...

If you really want to spike them then you'll have to force them off like Cold Front mentioned. However, if they're the kind who really avoids going off the level then you could use this to your advantage if you know they won't follow you if you were to jump off the level intentionally. Try...

full hop > homing missile > super missile > charged shot Since your going through Samus's projectiles from slowest to fastest in one jump, they're much closer together by the time they arrive and can work as a "projectile combo" of sorts. You'll need some room to work with it, but it can be...

Just a couple small things I think would also be helpful to add to the guide. The hitbox for down smash is a little bit taller than it looks and the opponent doesn't necessairly have to be touching the foot to be hit by it. It seems to extend almost up to shoulder level. Forward smash...

I didn't know it still worked in Brawl. I really have to try this since right now I have problems using missiles on stages with platforms like Battlefield.

What do you mean she can't missile cancel? I missile cancel all the time and it still works just fine, it just got slowed down like everything else in Brawl. It's still a useful way to approach.

I think it's probably a Gamecube attachement for the Wii-mote that they might introduce when the Gamecube controllers start running out.

I prefer to have it on so I can UpB out of shield and so I have one less button to worry about when in the air. In any case this is a lot like whether or not you want to have the Y-axis inverted in a first person shooter, it depends on what you used to.

If you count her three different projectiles and the Zair, Samus has 4 different weapons you can use to hit an opponent at medium range and they all travel at different speeds. Perhaps it might be possible to take advantage of their different speeds to perform a "projectile combo" of sorts...

Samus had almost no combo ability in SSB. There were no missiles back then. Charge shot had a lot more startup lag, took longer to charge, and didn't travel as fast. Her grab was even slower and easier to avoid than it is now. Her roll was even worse. Back during the SSB days there wasn't as...

I think there's also the fact that Samus got such a big improvement in Melee and having her nerfed again can be a real drag. Samus went from being bottom tier in SSB to being high tier in SSBM only to go down to low tier in SSBB. That being said, you can still do well with Samus if you know...

Second worst only to Captain Falcon? I think Ganondorf, Yoshi, and Sonic among others are even worse than Samus.

I don't think Snake is that bad of a matchup for Samus. Samus may have a hard time fighting Snake, but a lot of other characters have an even worse time fighting him. I do agree that Metaknight is difficult though since he's pretty much everything Samus hates rolled up into one character...

I know it might sound strange, but currently I almost never use up tilt. Whenever I get the chance to use it I almost always resort to either dtilt, ftilt, down smash, or sometimes even screw attack instead. I've been trying to use it more since I really need more options for getting my...

Dark Samus wouldn't be a Samus clone. About the only thing that makes Dark Samus similar to Samus is the suit. Her attacks and powers are completely different. Anyway, I've always wanted Bomberman to be in a Super Smash Bros. game simply because he'd fit in so well.
