Originally, my frustration began with my *** getting kicked by Fox and Wolf. Just recently found out that a mediocre casual Falco took down my prized main Samus. 2 and 2 together and I'm guessing Samus has an uphill battle against those critters.

Tips?

Fox isn't so bad IMO. Tudor's got some videos up against some Fox players, so I'll link you if you haven't already seen em.

Falco is a problem, not to much to say on that one. Wolf is a little more difficult than Fox IMO, but not as bad as Falco.

EDIT: As far as tips go, I'd have to see a match to give any real advice outside of her general strategies. Personally the only adjustments I make to playing against them is melee range charge shots instead of medium or long range, since they usually don't see it coming as they like to go for combos, I don't use Zair as much, and I use Nair more to interrupt combos and setup for edge hogs. And I don't use bombs as much in melee because of the blasters.

NONE of the spacies is really a problem for her. I would go into all the "just use zair" nonsense, but really wolf you can just beat down, and against falco and fox all you have to do is take them to the edge.

Screw Attack out of shield really annoys the spacies in close range. Use ftilt or jab combo to get them off-stage then gimp. Simply edgehog Wolf, grapple hog if necessary. Force Falco to illusion, and catch him with zair or uncharged shot. He will then be forced to use Fire Bird, edgehog it or spike. Fox is a bit harder, zair the illusion and try to spike the firefox, even if he's off the bottom of the screen. Samus' recovery is amazing so you can make it back. Spacies are known for their great aerial approach game, so keep your spacing good.

Gimps are easier said than done.
Spacing allows me room to missile spam and zair and that pushes them to about the edge, and then it's bombs. Honestly, I don't know how I keep losing. And I'm without Brawl for a few weeks so this problem will only haunt my every conscious thought.
