Any advice for my Samus? (or Ness as well if you want ^_^)

I can't get into my account on You Tube right now...so I'll just post this...

One of the matches I had with him isn't on here (Ness vs. Ganondorf on SV...it ends with a back throw)

The Ness vs. Ike match was just a very bad match for me...so I don't want to here about it ok ^_^

Actually overall IMO the Ness matches were just bad matches for me that day ^_^

I'm Gravity Suit Samus and Young Ness in case you wanted to know ^_^

Less rolling.
Samus's roll sucks hard.

Less dash attacks, mix it up more.
Short hop some homing missiles, and more.... every other samus move.

Samus' dash leaves her vulnerable, so use it less. Shoot more uncharged shots and missles, to keep the opponent blocking. Its a great way to get some free grabs. User her downsmash! Less rolling, more retreating shorthopped gapples/missiles/flame thrower. Also, don't be afraid to use the corkscrew attack as well as her uair if you can land it, they rack up damage.

I agree with the less dash attacks and less rolling comments, both of those leave you vulnerable if overused. The retreating bombs are good for spacing, but some Zairs would make your life a lot easier. I can understand why you don't use missiles much; your playstyle leaves you few openenings for them. Use Zair for spacing and to slow things down, and spam some missiles every once in a while. Also, practice your Dair spiking(go to training mode and just continuously throw opponents off the edge and practice the timing for connecting with it.) Being able to land those Dairs off the edge is vital. Also, work on incorperating some short-hopped Dairs and Fairs.

In summary, I think you have pretty tight control, but you need to expand your use of Samus's moveset.
