Missile Canceling is in, and it's very useful
spam a bunch of missiles by running around short hop missile canceling to do a ton of dmg
also u can run off a platform and do a missile, but it must be instantaneous, cuz if you don't u'll fail. It's easier to shoot homing, but super seems to be more effective in matches

her nair is nerfed as hell, but her other moves are still pretty good.

a good way to get back onto the stage after grabbing the edge is to drop, to wall tech, to dair

or

drop to wall tech or jump to air dodge and then shield. It's really instantaneous

her fair can combo up with each other

her usmash can kill with the last hit of it

dtilt is good
ftilt is good
up-b is fairly good
pretty much all her moves are good except grapple and nair


charge shot kinda sucks, but it's pretty good for racking up dmg and later killing at around 150%

btw, don't expect samus to be an easy char to use. Lot's of missle spam + dmging ur opponent. Fingers will get tired for sure (or maybe that's just me playing 10 hours a day)
also don't expect to kill at 100% expect to kill at 150 or higher

timing on her moves and etc can be a bit tricky (especially missiles, been practicing for 2 days straight, still can't get the missiles down 100%)


In my opinion Samus > Zamus, Zamus = try as u might, fking hard to kill
Samus = missile spam + outthink ftw

it does kinda suck they nerfed her Charge Shot but then again it seems that it will still be viable for higher % kills (comes out very quickly and is ranged, not to mention most characters will live untill that % anyway) or for setting up an opponent for an edge guard.

you can double missle but only homing and super alternate or homing only

I'm pretty sure, i haven't tested it over and over, but i believe it is possible

i can't believe j a p got sensored

samus isn't really nerfed
only her nair is

her fair and dtilt and everything is really good
her upsmash can kill also

all her other moves are still really good and some are better

but she is a fighter cuz she can't always spam missiles, like against Pit, Wolf, Fox, Falco
gotta use other strats
