We all know you're amazing Watty. There just isn't enough Samus players in the first place for it not to be a hilarious self-parody.

That being said, you would probably **** me and my dog in Samus dittos.
my dog's pretty ****ing good though watch out.
OK I don't actually have a dog.

Wait... Adam Malkovich? :/
You just lost Samus points.

Also, to Watty:
You talk a big game
How about fighting me first
Then you start gloating

Because, seriously, I don't have anyone to fight. How am I suppose to place high against my peers when none of them live within 4 hours of me? Granted, I'm moving back to AZ in May, so... whatever. I'll be closer to some smash people, but I still won't be in the major "high traffic" smash areas. I'm really not going to get **** for rep ever until Genesis win I win.

We should have an all-samus tourny, to see whos the best and stuff.
But i doubt that'll ever happen, with Genesis and all.
I've really improved also, i wish i can show off my skills.

Samus crew > Samus tourny

Fighting non Samus characters with Samus is much more satisfying.

Also, Watty, we should do the color glitch for the MM. Regular Samus vs the SA-X

Agreed. Samus crew at Genesis. We'll beat that dumb link crew and their swords.

Do the "Samus with Kirby stocks" glitch instead. Same result (orange samus vs orange samus) but doesn't take as long to do.
God I love doing that. The novelty never wears off. I'm always so stoked that I'm scretly Kirby in disguise.

i remember in ROM this falco had DK stocks or something like that.
and this one guy was like," what, you never saw a DK short-hop laser?"

What do you mean exactly?

You're trying to get onto the stage, right?

from the ledge, with a missile?

Usmash, "VERY situational." I lol'ed. That's just the problem. I can never find a situation that I've played in that uses the Usmash effectively...

SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST!


But, I believe he means when he is hanging on a ledge, he's finding it hard to ledge hop and do a missile, and then land back on the ledge. I also have problems with this. I don't know if it's incredibly useful, but I don't do it often due to lack of skillz.

He couldn't mean that because he said ONTO the stage

what you're referring to is the hylian lowrider
that **** is hard as **** to do lol

also, i've been experimenting with upsmash, and it works with fastfallers at either low or high percentages, though still very situational, however i don't recommend using it the way this guide suggests
you have to be positioned correctly when you use it otherwise you're going to get hit

James/Aftermath, you make me want to pick up Samus so badly, despite my knowing of how not great she is.

Secondaried! I'm going to practice the crap out of Samus.

First of all, thanks for the guide! :D

I'm [a noob and] trying to work on my L-cancelling. would it be easier to learn it with a character whose lag is more noticeably reduced, then return to samus?

Choose a character who has more landing lag such as Bowser or Ganondorf. It'll be easier to tell if you L canceled or not due to them having more landing lag. Once you get that down, switch back to Samus and start L canceling with her.

Or just use Samus and practice your L canceling.

I try to practice it on a dummy with damage ratio all the way down and handicap all the way up, to get a feel for how the hits feel while I'm l canceling because it changes the timing.
