Hello, EsperTerra, and welcome to Smashboards, where super skinny people are strong, and big, buff, meaty people are weak. Glad you've decided to get into the competitive scene. Check out the character-specific boards (in your case, Zero Suit Samus) to learn of the various advanced techniques (ATs), matchups (MUs), and overall potential of your character. You can even check out the Brawl Competitive discussion to learn more about rules, metagame, tier lists, etc.. Best of luck with your competitive endeavors, and remember to always smile, even if facing defeat. If you're ever stuck, feel free to contact a moderator, super moderator, administrator, or member of the Itty Bitty Welcoming Committee (like me, or Old Man Grey, or anyone listed as a mod of the Welcome Center) for assistance. Until then, we hope you enjoy your stay here at Smashboards, and be sure to pay no mind to the occasional troll. Also, do not respond to any spam/advertisement threads. Finally, please keep your belongings secure, as Smashboards are not held responsible for lost or stolen items.
