I think you should stop kneeing me in the face so ****ing much. Plastic surgery is expensive mang.

we'll get around to it eventually, dont give up

Wow I had no idea who you were before these sets, Ace... mad impressive. You're way better at the Samus matchup than most other Falcons including even Darkrain if you look at his latest set against IHSB, so I can't point out many major bad habits... but anyway. There were probably a couple times where you could have pulled back on the up-B and landed safely. SS just waits for Samus players to flinch, and at the first sign he pulls back the up-B and gets the ledge. Noticed a few times where an empty short hop would have been the best option, especially when IHSB would attack, then you'd SH knee out of shield, then he'd punish you with Samus up-B... don't feel an urge to land with an aerial every time, I guess? Overall pretty ****ing awesome sets.

watched the first link and the triple knee combo at the end was so niceeeeeee

you must have felt like a pimp

play with confidence and keep it up!

I'm jealous of Ace's Falcon

we gotta get friendlies in next time we're at a tourney

extreme smash talent here.. hmm only 3 post...

Like jugglyguy said, a few empty short hops here and there would work better. Every time you jumped at him you attacked, this will work in the beginning, but in the end it made you lose, because it became extremely obvious to ihsb. If you would have changed it up and used mind-games, I'm sure you would have won.

Using your grabs would have been good. D-throw tech chase is very useful.

 

[j00t]

Dthrow techchase... against Samus?

 

[Yo$himan]

Dthrow techchase... against Samus?

Well, maybe not the techchase part. But throwing a Dthrow to knee or Uair might be effective.

 

[j00t]

dthrow -> knee doesn't work on samus

 

[0Room]

Well you're way better than I am, but I did notice in the first link you got captured hardcore on the left platform of PS.
So, try to avoid that, and don't jump into a Dair

 

[Dark_Crono]

if you keep playing like that you are going to get really good

 

[BigD!!!]

dthrow knee doesnt actually work on samus, but you can make it work

grab them near an edge and dthrow right away above like 70 can get you a knee for a kill decently reliably

edit: watched the videos, youre better than me vs samus, probably vs everybody, i got nothing to add cause samus baffles me

 

[Yo$himan]

dthrow -> knee doesn't work on samus

This is where mind games come in. A falcon could dthrow and fake the samus into throwing a move out. Then take advantage and knee the samus. Although, this is all conjecture for me. I don't have very much samus experience. As a matter of fact, the only samus that I have played was IHSB.

 

[Juggleguy]

90% of the time Samus escapes the dthrow knee it's because she jumped out of it. You should dthrow, run and full jump towards her, then react to the next move: if she double jumps, you do a double jump uair... if she nairs, you just uair right in front of her.

 

[BigD!!!]

up throw works ok just because samus doesnt get down too easily, get under her and uair if you grab her at lower %

d-throw usually sux

up-throw is great if you do it quick before they can DI at lower percents
