What I need help against Samus:
- What percentages does she get combo'd at, and what combos work?
Never and always, samus i hard to do real combos at. You can almost always connect simple two-hit combos like utilt > uair and bair/nair > dsmash. You can rack damage in other ways though. If you are good at using your projectiles you can win the camping war, Samus missiles are less flexible and a lot more avoidable than your bombs and rang, they do more when connecting though so watch out and keep focused.
Apart from that you can keep her in the air for a long time and not allow her back onto the ground with dash attacks and uairs. This is sorts of a tech chase like situation where you read or limit her options so that the next move connects and resets the situation, pretty annoying to play against, very satisfying to do.
If she starts getting aggro you can play a keep out spacing game with your fair, nair and your jabs. Your goal is to counter her every aproach send her back and maybe get off another hit or two.
Samus is also fairly easy to shield poke, so try to go for some dsmashes if you see her shield.
- What percentage should I stop combo'ing her and go for the finishing move? Any percentages I should keep in mind that go from combos to kill moves?
bomb > dair, bomb > uair, dthrow(if you would land a grab) uair, everything kills pretty early(around 120%+ depending on stage and how up in the air), but don't hunt kills vs Samus. Gently force her into a bad position by zoning her closer and closer to the edge, then use a bomb or rang to setup a kill move or read any tries to jump or roll out of the situation. Fsmash is a good surprise in this matchup if it starts to get really slow and campy, try to connect the second swing as it is the better for killing samus.
UpB is close to useless btw. I guess you might get off a semi-spike in NTSC but apart from that it is terribad in this matchup, Samus won't die from it and you are better of trying to dsmash her to kill her(which in general will happen around 180%+) as it is safer and launches her into a position where it is easier for you to follow up.
- What situations should I avoid?
Ehr, dunno, I just camp like a ***** avoiding all situations. All? Avoid everything! You can actually win this matchup on time(done it twice).
Maybe the best advice is to never try to gimp her, you don't have the tools. Instead try to add percentage with safe tools like rang, bombs, jab and ftilt
Her CC can be nasty too. If she CCs smack her with both of the swings of the fsmash or throw bombs and/or rang at her, she will not enjoy it.
What I need help against Jiggs:
- What projectile is better to use against her, and how should I use each one?
Bombs, then rang. Rang is to give you space to pull bombs, bombs are your best projectile once it's in your hand. Never bow, with never I mean never. This applies to all matchup but vs falco and fox where the bow is a gimping tool, NEVER USE THE BOW,"The bow is for when you want to loose" -Skler the Wise
- Any ways to set her up for Uair or Dair kill?
Bomb. Bomb > dair is an insane killer vs jiggs.
- Any situations I should avoid?
Just avoid her in general but if you want something specific, try to avoid rest combos, you can CC most of her common rest setups like utilt and uair, if you play vs jiggs enough you will start to notice when she switches from spacing like an asshole to fishing for rests. And don't roll towards her a lot it will become predictable and she will rest you when you do it a lot.
These both together with ICs are Link's camping matchups. As a generic advice I think you need to learn to be an asshole(anus in medical terms).
