You can shoot lasers to interrupt her bomb recovery, or you can do what mango does and jump way out there and attempt to get a hit. But generally you should just get Samus to grab the ledge (since she has so little options for getting back onto the stage) and just punish whatever she does. If you're playing on a stage like battle field or yoshi's, it's good to just stand inside/middle of the outer platform and space dropped bairs/just play around with your moveset. Like I said, not much Samus can do from the ledge.

hang on the edge. wait for the inevitable grapple.

right as it happens drop off so it doesnt hit u.
rejump and bair while they are still out there.

mango does it a lot... vs hugs at least where i saw it first.

you could always drop bair jump walljump into whatever also if you have to you can get an extra bair after the wall jump but it puts you in a bad position

I agree with this.

Although i have not much experiance vs. samus. I think its good to let her make her way back to the stage (after lazering her bomb recovery) then limit her options after she decides to either grapple or upb.

Falco's legs are invincible during his downsmash (or at least during the charge), you could use that to beat her UpB. Mango does it at 0:58 in that video to beat the recovery, then edgeguards with the ledge drop jump bairs like Big_R mentioned.
