Yes, if they do the aerial late enough. If I notice my opponent shielding after every aerial on my shield, I sometimes try to mix in shield grabs instead of upB OoS. This has won me sets.
Yep, my go to from ledge against marths, is invins downsmash from AI from the ledge, or invins forward tilt. Also yes you can get a few invins frames from perfect wd, because its possible to perfectly invis hax dash with samus
I started using Bomb OoS a while ago, but more of a counter to aerials spaced wayyyy too early as kinda like a bomb nair pary. And another thing opponents can do is angle that shield down and towards you so they are not shield poked by the Up B, because if they do shield it normally they will still be hit by the up b. Another option that is possible against up B OoS is to just hold down and away and they won't get sucked up into the the Up B hitboxes. (<-- which is the very reason why I elect to play on version 1.0 against spacies at higher level matches in tourney, because you can't SDI out of the up air, forward air, or up b )
That was a good run against C!Z, he trained with slient wolf for a whileee as well as the old school samus The Prime, the only real advice I could give besides a few noticeable instances where you lost neutral and didnt sweet spot which you could see for yourself, is C!Z took your shield pressure a lot of the time with jabs but with able to appropriately respond to it and put you in a bad position, be able to break a shield and commit to it, see how far they will let you push their shield, most good players will let you push it pretty damn far and see if you actually try for the break the first time or just wait for that OoS option.
*Facepalm* Have you ever gotten grabbed while you were still in the morphball form? :/ :/ :? please just think about it
Wrong... it isnt until frame 10 that samus's becomes smaller, she is very vulnerable until frame 10, that being said I said bomb OoS is good for resetting the situation WHEN UNSAFE PRESSURE IS APPLIED... if you have a fox/falco dair shining you... bomb OoS is going to get you caught in a shine combo b/c you are vulnerable too long... that being said
It depends on what they did prior to you bombing OoS if they can grab you, you have a falcon nairing on your shield, yeah your are safe to bomb OoS (just watch out for a stomp to follow), if you have a sheik fairing on your sheild, depends if they short hop fair then land, or short hop fast fall fair on shield into l cancel jab or grab, first scenario, good place to bomb retreat and makes space between you two, second, not smart at all and you are going to get hit by the jab and or then grabbed. There is a time and place for every move to be optimal 343, just have to recognize when and apply it. Same thing for samus's up smash, very few uses for it, however there are certain circumstances where ill use it to get a free 25%... sure its not safe if I miss, but I just better be sure its the right situation to use, and understand how competent my opponent is with sdi.
Here is the problem with what you say, when you get up to playing at the highest level, players get good at CCing out of being caught in an Up B OoS, or they aerial on your sheild and instead of shine or follow up, they themselves shield and angle it downwards so as to not be shield poked by the Up B, and that in turn baits out up Bs, one missed up b against... marth... fox... jigs... falco... falcon... you are going to get punished... hard
How about bomb oos in neutral? Putting shield up covers a potential aerial and when you bomb it covers run-up grab and/or a potential cross up.
I like doing that too. Sometimes 2 bombs in a row will get them to completely stop moving and reevaluate their approach.
