Hylian · Feb 19, 2008

I have a lot of new matches up. Enjoy

Paradigm · Feb 19, 2008

You downthrow every time, rarely being able to follow it up. Is this just a habit from Melee, or is there something I'm missing? I figured - if you can't follow it up - it'd be better to toss 'em off the edge with a forward or backthrow and try to edgeguard, or at least get a couple hits as they scramble back to the stage.

Irrelevant, thanks for the videos. Something has to help tide me over till Brawl's US release.

Hylian · Feb 19, 2008

Yes it was a habit from melee. I was actually talking with tobias about how I need to stop down throwing haha. Her other throws don't really set up for anything either though. Also, dthrow charge shot still works on some characters.

GotACoolName · Feb 19, 2008

Great videos. Thanks, Hylian.

Novi · Feb 19, 2008

Very nice, thanks for the videos.

Have you played around with air dodging with the grapple at all? As of right now it seems as though you are kind of forced to wait towards the end of your jump in order to not overshoot the grapple. If you could lower it somehow with air dodging to achieve some kind of Falco style laser-aggressiveness...

Phazon_Dude · Feb 19, 2008

Nice videos! grapple spam.. is it that good?

NOVA1106 · Feb 19, 2008

cant wait to try her out she looks awesome that whip looks sexy

Endless Nightmares · Feb 19, 2008

Samus dittos are still amazing

3GOD · Feb 20, 2008

I enjoyed the matches I watched - you make Samus look fun despite a lot of the feelings that she's been nerfed. I personally am excited about using the grapple beam attack with no lag and also any other cool tricks that are sure to come along.

Agreed anyone who likes playing in them should check this out [thread=135553]Samus/Zamus online WiFi Fun Tournament Check it out[/thread].

Also Hylian your Samus is good and will only improve over time when you remove melee bad habits which I'm sure I will need to do as well when I get the game

. Can't wait to friendlies and our online tourney.

The Alpha Gundam · Feb 20, 2008

Good stuff Hylain

Hylian · Feb 20, 2008

Thanks everyone

.

I should be uploading more sometime soon.

Mars- · Feb 20, 2008

Hmm, I need to stop waiting for Zjiin to put up more matches and just look in the samus section lol. I'll have to watch these when I get home.

Solo Assass1n · Feb 20, 2008

Good job Hylian. I'd have to say though, you are a little predictable; you should switch your attacks up a little bit more. For example, after you charge your beam fully, you seem to be like "Oh man, I can't wait to shoot this and pwn him!" and then you use it almost right away. You should wait for an opportunity when you know you have a higher success chance of hitting them, such as when they have wasted their second jump for example. Other than that, keep working out the hawt grapple spamz. :chuckle:

Um, we were lauging and I told him I was going to shoot it. Watch my samus in melee. I almost never shoot the charge shot.

Endless Nightmares · Feb 20, 2008

Wow Samus' aerials have like zero landing lag :chuckle:

Grapple is basically a very amazing aerial. Maybe we can call it like...zair or something >_>

Gotcha. I'm assuming none of the matches were competitive then.

Some were, but a lot of them we were just trying to do new things with samus, and get used to the feel of her.

Metroid_01 · Feb 20, 2008

grapple spam = win :D

Love the zair comment I would be done for calling it that :chuckle:

Trifroze · Feb 20, 2008

On the vid with Samus and Olimar @Pokemon Stadium, Samus didn't have any lag when she jumped and used the grapple beam+landed and did the forward smash...that was a pretty cool combo.

Thanks. You can actually Zair(Omg56k) into any attack. So you can Zair to Chargeshot, and then in the stun of the chargeshot grab or hit them.

This is probably the coolest thing that Hyli's done. It's so good as a low percent damage boost, like knee->grab in Melee.

squarez · Feb 22, 2008

All I gotta say is HOLY CRAP, these vids restored my faith in samus. VERY nice use of the improve air grapple, screw diddy, im going back to samus!

iNiGhTmAr3 · Feb 26, 2008

nice videos

Dobs1007 · Feb 26, 2008

Just re-watched matches I love the mind games you do off of edge in Samus vs. Kal Marth 4 and my favorite match by far is you versus Tobias Samus 2 Samus dittos look so fun. Good overall game play shown in videos.

Eten · Mar 1, 2008

I enjoyed watching these Hylian just because you really experiment and try new things and sometimes it works. The Zair into other moves stuff for example, is very progressive in building a good Brawl samus and even though you make all sorts of mistakes there is still a lot of things to see in these that show what works and what doesn't.

Nocturnal~Dragon · Mar 1, 2008

I enjoyed watching those matches, really good Samus, i love how u use the Zair

W.Jr · Mar 1, 2008

good videos

Gum · Mar 2, 2008

good **** hylian. i definately see a world of possibilities with the zair. i like zair into f-tilt. i was mainly focused on the marth matches, but good **** all around. your samus is developing really well.

Thank you

.

Also, I have a new epic sig.

Dobs1007 · Mar 2, 2008

Saw videos this morning cause I subscribed to youtube profile. Good stuff I also like the new Sig. Your videos are good nice use of zair in Marth match up.

Fast and Furious · Mar 2, 2008

Hylian, your Samus skills have renewed my faith in her. I may actually consider adding Samus to my mains in Brawl now. Your vids are good stuff man, keep up the pwnage. ^^

Hylian · Mar 2, 2008

Glad to be an inspiration

Xyro77 · Mar 3, 2008

Mars- · Mar 3, 2008

I gotta watch these new ones sometime. I didnt like your old ones because you just did stuff in a stupid way it seemed, but I do like how you do everything that is availible to you.

BTW, any word on the SWD?

Lets go.

And Mars, lol.

SWD doesn't exist in brawl so far.

Though the other day while playing melee with tobias I SWD'ed with Falcon. No lie. I did a double reverse moonwalk and flew halfway across FD lol. I think we got it on video too.

Post it... now.

Also, clutch videos. When Brawl came out, I was looking forward to some Samus impressions. She is my main in Melee, and I wouldn't want to change that. I was sorta displeased after hearing some initial impressions, like she is worse... a lot worse. However, through more play sessions with her from various people, she is shaping up to be super awesome. Seriously, thank you for restoring my faith in Samus and her awesomeness.

I freaking love that zair.

X Megadragon · Mar 3, 2008

Wait wut, Falcon SWD? For the win.

And Hylian, your vids of Samus are amazing. And Skinhoff stole what I wanted to say; you've really shown how good Samus is. I was a little disheartened when I heard Samus was nerfed, but thanks to you, she's viable for a higher tier position than Melee.

Xyro77 · Mar 3, 2008

people listen. Hylian and others are not playin samus at a high level yet.......so she cant be judged yet.

also, the other characters in the game will evole in skill too. so dont jump the gun.
