If he is on the edge of Final Destination, and he does his FS, there's no escaping
Is there some way to dodge her FS, except Jumping high, and eventually falling in the blast

Samus is a female, not a male. Furthermore, we don't use items. We have it off and set to none.

OP's opponent is most likely male. So he refers to him as.. him. Then he asks if there's a way to dodge the FS of the character he uses, Samus.

So instead of badgering about pointless pronoun usage or the shunning of items altogether, someone could have just answered the question.

The only way to actually dodge the FS is by jumping really high. If you're in a situation where this is not possible, then simply holding your shield up will prevent all the accumulated damage taken. Only the very last instant of the FS, the part that has knockback, will inflict you.

jump off ledge and grab at its maximum length and just hang there till the blast is gone

You cant hang, the blast can be angled. Only way to truely dodge her FS on FD is to rush her, right when she attempts to use it, jump over her and behind her, then grab the ledge. If your OP attempts to jump offledge then use it to hit you hanging there, he will die due to the transformation process.

Dont let them get the FS, rush, stay in their face, and jump over them if it happens to come down to it.

It can only be angled up or down at about 10 degrees though. Enough to get them on the ledge

Exactly. If we wanted to go on based of attacks, Samus should get missile types. I think it was discussed there are no "status" effects in the game. We do have, sleep and flower damage over time.

Heck, while we are at it, lets give Samus a beam sword for her Forward smash to extend her range to Ikes, but a stabbing motion which only knocks them back like Zeldas Dsmash.

:D

Seeker Missiles FTW! Five Missiles all at once. Samus would be broken.

Say good-bye, Meta Knight!

When she was firing her Homing and Super Missiles, I was reminded of SA-X.
the user?
and btw, what if it's Final Destination, and she's right at the edge, and she does the FS, and you just run to the other edge, and when it's almost near you, Jump, DJump, Up-Special. Wouldn't that be a good way, with exceptions of Olimar?

Somewhat. You'd probably want to be closer to Samus, though, since the Zero Laser is wider at the end, and it's not as wide from where it's coming. With Olimar, jump over Samus and tether, if she's at the edge.

I heard a rumor that pit could get through the zero laser by angling his mirror shield up, though I haven't tested it yet.

The Power Beam never done that in any of the Metroid games. Then again, this is Super Smash Bros. Heck, Ness and Lucas are given attacks that they never learn in the game.
not true buddy :) Certain circumstances, being Samus firing a regular blaster shot at a door that requires a wave blast to open. the little ball of yellow light will bounce off :D

Samus isn't fighting her opponent on a stage that richochets beams. In other Metroid games, more notably the side-scrollers, the beams never fired off the doors. If you had the Wave Beam, it would fire through doors that could not be opened with Beam weapons.

Yeah, but he still takes some slight damage at the end. Use Pit, angle the shield up, and you'll be safe. You take about 25% though, at the end.

You have to be two Bowsers away from Samus. Seriously, that's what the video of the guy demonstrating this said.

I know, but I was saying that the surface that Samus and her opponent are standing on aren't reflective, nor does the ground deny something like the Power Beam, thus causing it to richochet.

Oh! that's really too bad. Because after it ricocheted it didn't hurt samus, Imagine a box type room with Wave beam doors. Samous would have a heaper B move than meta's
