I'm super addicted to Ultimate gameplay videos, it's what I do to keep my hype and anxiety in check, also, Samus is one of my mains in Sm4sh and one of my favorite characters ever; hence why I watch any videos that contain Samus footage or opinions. Lately I've seen a trend of counting Samus (at least in the demo version) as a worst version of her Sm4sh counterpart and I sincerely don't agree.
The main reason for this statement is that she doesn't have her dash attack combos anymore because of the attack's knockback angle, but I think most people are not factoring that she might play differently from Sm4ash altogether, so the comparison may not be relevant. Look at this video; you can clearly see that her Nair has an incredibly low landing lag, as well as her Upair and Fair having landing lag reductions as well:

Combine the overall speed boost she's got, with her almost lag-less Nair aerial gets you (she does an up-tilt and a jab combo almost immediately), with bombs exploding on contact, a decent projectile with missiles, and charge shot being much more viable all around, and I think Samus could honestly do much better than in Sm4sh.
Some of this buffs will benefit her overall approach options and neutral, IMO.
What do you think?
