You got a good samus.

In the first match you played too distanced focused almost all the time on zair and missiles the other 2 were better imho.
Against falco you never punished his recovery on the stage, it should be almost everytime a free hit to you (charge shot, fair -> whatever, bair) and you let him alone on the edge. if you are in critical % i would stop shorthopping as much because of that boosted upsmash of him. Besides that i saw a lack of utilt dsmash usage. Utilt can be good for edgeguarding because of its high up hitbox and it hits opponentsd hanging, dsmash for damging and is pretty safe to use if its shielded because of the knockback it has.
Just keep playing and improve your character control so you dont accidently face your opponent backwars while shorthopping. Your samus is pretty good. I liked the last stock on the last match

Each match you opponent seemed two step ahead of you. Mostly because of your repetitive use of the same move (for example, the back flip to z-air in the falco vid). Mix it up a bit, and fast fall when you can. Not even one ff'd Dair =(

Other than that, good stuff. One little tip is in the Falco match; uncharged shot. Shoot it when you can predict him recovering. You predicted SO well, but couldnt capitalize. Most times you went for D-air, when there are much more reliable options (although not as fancy lol). If the uncharged shot hits; he has to use his ****ty upB. If it doesnt, you have a chance to edgehog while he tries to sibeB the edge.

Good stuff though, id like to see you matches as you progress.

You do have a good Samus. In the last vid, however, there were a few times when Falco was just sitting off the edge in his firebird waiting to be spiked and you didn't go for it, allowing him to rack up a little more damage until he was killed.

When you recover onto the Smashville platform in the first match, good look on the try for the charge shot... that's what I call a "Greedy Charge Shot" Your opponent is so eager to come and pick you off the don't even wanna think about dodging the charge shot.

At first, It seemed like the Falco player didnt know how to handle the Zair, but then he quickly caught on his second stock and made the comeback.

You have to mix it up a little. Dash attack, some grabs. He shielded a lot, pivot grab a bit, dont be afraid to spot dodge his blasts, when he SH double laser, the first one is too high, simply shield, or power shield, the lower one, or spotdodge it to force him to approch, he cant CG samus too well (maybe three at max, Dthrow, Dthrow, Dair,Dthrow and thats about all. )

Other then that, I dont see very much wrong with your Samus. Try not to abuse the projectile game when hes starting to catch onto it.
