Fair if Samus is in the air

Dtilt if she's on the ground

Dtilt edgeguard (or go for super flashy REVERSE UP-B EDGEGUARDS)

Grab every once in a while and mix up the throws

Done

Alright. Fthrow can lead to some Fair stuff, if they DI in I think. Get her off stage and bair edgeguard her the best you can. I've tested this. Samus dies at about 128% on FD and BF from Utilt. Ftilt her missles. Don't try and shield/powershield them or you will just get trapped. Once you get her in the air, never let her come back down. She can only try and bomb away to get away from that, so just follow her. Uthrow is good just make her stay in the air with Uair. Uair is your best friend here. Samus can CC your late Fair, even if you space it, so watch the hell out. Maybe you could Dair her CC? Cause Marth's Dair can't be CC'ed. Maybe that would work, but you still may eat a Dsmash from your lag.
Dtilt her, but you really need to space it.
