can't you play the match-up semi-in-her-face?

like don't actually rush in with a nair/dair, but run up to a roll away and shoot a laser, turn around and bair her if she comes at you and follow it up. stuff like that

the way i play samus is shoot lasers at her when u can get her out of CC%

dair and bair **** her

and when she shields just grab her cause she wants u to hit her so that they can up-b out of shield

whats the safest way to shield pressure samus? say you attack with a dair, and she shields in time. Which of the following is best:

1) immediately roll
2) shine->wd back
3) shine->more moves (lol)
4) spaced jabs/tilts/bairs

or are all of them good in certain situations and you just have to choose appropriately based on the opponent?

I asked raynex about how to shield pressure samus and iirc he told me that if your aerial gets shielded you're gunna get up b'd, including dair
so when i hit a samus' shield i usually just hold shield and hope they up b too slowly, then wd oos and ****

Marth versus samus is funner. Camping is boring :(

PC, did you find your controller? What color was it?

edit: @Toma

Low nair keeps her in shield long enough for you to shield, but thats the only exception to the Samus shield pressure rule. The lower you hit with an aerial on a shield, the less air time you are in and the more time you have to lcancel and do something before Samus' upB. Dair doesn't do enough shield stun to keep her from doing upb, unfortunetly. I'm also pretty sure low bair works the same way as well.

---------------------

Hate to break it to you guys, but once you hit Samus with any aerial, she can upB before you can do anything. Granted, your opponent has to time it correctly...but it still works.

UpB will:

-hit you through your shine (shine has 1 frame of invinc., upb has 3 or 4...I forget)

-come out before your shield (or stab it at your feet)

-and precede any buffered defensive option (rolls, sidesteps, jumps)


The minute you hit a Samus' shield with an aerial, you are at a disadvantage. Facing a bad Samus may have you thinking its possible to do an aerial into X, Y, or Z..but that is definitely not the case.

Hitting her shield with a low nair locks her in stun and negates all of her upb **** though, so go for that if anything.

in most match ups you're at a disadvantage while approaching.

when you look at it like that, almost no one camps enough.
haha jman has my favorite fox right now.

I'm not. You're supposed to be good at this game. How can you NOT see that he still approaches far too often. He should only be approaching when the opponent is already commited to something.
dude, stop being a trolling ******. go back to emotional and unsuccessful ruby LOL you're not as clever as you think.

I thikn dair would be the best option vs sampson cuz if it hits then at least she cant crouch cancel it and smack you

and u shouldnt be just trying to sheild pressure her, u should try and get her to sheild or like jmangz said shine wd back. then u can grab or something cuz samus players always freak out when u throw them up LOL and fox can **** her up there

my 2 cents

You can eat a dick. You've done nothing but be a complete asshole to me the entire time I've been on the boards.

I would not hesitate to beat the living shit if you EVER acted like this to me IRL. You're nothing but a joke.

Violence is never the answer--the only thing more immature than his insults to you is your inability to handle it.

All that time and effort you put into unnecessary technical skill could be put into camping and playing more efficient.
