Haha Dayton is feared (in Melee)? "Serious friendlies" it is, I guess.
Digm, we can MM at this upcoming monthly. Oh ya, I must be an idiot for not learning the Puff vs Samus matchup which is apparently 70:30 for Puff. I guess a lot of Sammy's smashes are punishable with a rest.
$2MM @ Melee then, sounds like a plan. I'll do the same for anyone else *FROM DAYTON* other then Reside. Right now I suck at Melee, 'zjust so does everyone from Dayton (other then Reside).
Your main problem in Puff vs Samus from last time we played is you didn't edgeguard me. Puff wrecks Samus' recovery. If you can't hit me, just run into the bombs - if they don't detonate at the right time I can't use them to recover. This is the single biggest issue you have.
I don't know that my smashes are necessarily rest-able, but they're definitely punishable. You didn't try to bait me at all - you just tried to attack and ran into the disjointed part of my fsmashes. Get me to smash - and miss - and then hit me with something hard. *My* jigs would probably fair or bair, maybe a wavedash-grab or fsmash but if you wanna go for a rest go ahead.
Also, stay in the air - aim at my head. Stay above land-canceled missile height. I was landing dsmashes on you, which makes no sense. If you're in the air my options are more limited to attack you, and while you're also limited it's not nearly as bad for you.
This is all assuming that I'd go Samus on you in a MM. I'm so outta practice I could basically practice any of about a third of the cast for a few hours before we play and pull 'em out with about equal competency. Fox, Falco, Sheik, Marth, Ganon, Peach, Jiggs, et al... all about equal options for me right now.
