Hmm I need a little bit of advice while playing on platformed stages, double homing missles usually cant really aim at them and leaves me open to attack. Its also hard to zair effectively because they can just step on platforms to avoid it. Kills are pretty hard to achieve too, most of mine come from Fsmash or dair--> bair. I also have trouble with the smaller characters, most of the larger characters are easily handled, but the smaller characters are so much harder to hit! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can short hop homing missile cancel or short hop super missile cancel instead of a double homing missile. Good for those situations. Also, she's fine on platforms and around platforms, just don't try to go through the platform. That's what kills you. If you run off and go around you'll do much better. All of Samus's moves autocancel upon landing, so you can do any aerials right into landing and then right into a tilt/jab/etc, so besides really slowing you up trying to go through the platform from standing above it, Samus should have no trouble with platforms.

Everywhere you wanna be
another thing is that you wanna pressure them as much on the ground as possible in order to force them on the platforms, enabling you to attack from below. Samus' uair has great priority.
