Smash Rookie
Hello, I'm Mistgun. I've made an account after lurking for forever because I need to take a more active approach to finding answers to the problem in my game.
History: I've extensively played Smash 64, Melee and Brawl growing up. I switched around the cast, but Samus was my original main and forever my pocket. In March 2014, I started to play Samus with a technical and competitive mindset. I've taken intermittent breaks from both Samus and smash in general, but I'm currently involved in my community, and I plan to take Samus play to the absolute highest level I can, whatever that may be. Currently, the biggest inhibitor to my growth is knowledge. I don't have any Samus teachers, and the others that are around aren't very intellectual in their approach. I find my approach to the game unique, but hard to learn with others. So I've come here for some help.
TL;DR - I've always played Samus, but no one around is better than me at her. I need some tips.
Problem 1: "Scoring a Solid Hit in Neutral"
I play to Samus' tanking skill a lot. My favorite skills are defensive. Sometimes that means I soak up a lot of damage, though. Many of my tournament sets come Dow to last stock, last hit.
- Assuming we are both at high %, what is the best way to score a KO hit out of neutral (as Samus)?
Problem 2: "PS1 Missile Camping Technique"
Missiles were one of the first techs I picked up, and I'm very comfortable using them in a myriad of ways. Unfortunately, I just can't comprehend how to do the Missle-camping inputs on PS1. I can drop through the platform and missile cancel, but I cannot get the lag/input/technique for jumping back up, missing, and dropping back through the platform.
- How do I set up the perfect PS1 missile camp?
