SAMUS - Complete Technique List

[X Megadragon]

After seeing tons of threads on advanced/new discoveries of Samus, don't you think we should properly list them and cite their threads? It would definitely help me and many other Samus mains. So... discuss any new techniques and post them. Or bash me for being a Smash Child attempting to start a new topic. :O

So, let's continue on, shall we?

>Charge Shot from Perfect Shielding - easy to use technique that ensures a quick charge shot after a perfect shield.

>Use of the "Zair", or Grapple Beam in midair - Quick, no-lag attack with long range. Very good approach. Great stun, good for combos.
--Hylian QFT:

Zair is increadible for approaching. It is the longest move in the game, has the best priority, can be cancled at any point by hitting the ground, comes out insanly fast, has no lag, and has great stun time as well as the ability to combo into itself over and over.

>Homing Missile Edgeguarding Counter - Found from Hylian's vid. Use Homing Missiles to slow down fall and reach ledge, while throwing off opponent with barrage of missiles. Protects from edgeguarding attacks and edgehoggers. Can be followed by a Fair near ledge.

>Little to no Aerial Lag with Aerials -
--Hylian QFT:

She has like..no lag on anything. When I realized this...holy crap. Sure zair has no lag...BUT NEITHER DOES ANY OF HER OTHER MOVES!!!

>Some sort of "Ken Combo" Fair, Zair, Nair, and Fair again to repeat OR Dair to KO.

>Dair Bair Combo
--Majoras QFT:

So I was playing brawl and noticed that to almost all characters i could do Down-Air while they are on the ground and then connect with a back-air which gave me a lot of fast kills,

>Triple Tether Recovery - Samus can use Zair up to three times now.

>Single Bomb Jump - Bomb Jump with one Bomb instead of two.
--Boolossus QFT:

Even though you get an additional jump when dropping 2, you don't lose horizontal movement while dropping bombs like you did in melee, meaning you have to go backwards away from the stage to hit your second bomb. Plus, your jump isn't nearly as big as it was in melee. (...) dropping one bomb at a time does a better job than dropping two and jumping.

>Double Bomb Jump/Aerial Dashdance - Melee Style double bomb jump. Adds a variety to BJing and makes you less prone to getting hit in air. Done by dashdancing in morph ball mid-air.
--HeavyArms QFT:

The basic concept is that by doing "dash dancing" in the air, you are quickly going back and forth canceling each other momentum and ultimately going to nowhere other than straight down. Like the first technique, once you're able to transfer all momentum downward, do a bomb jump normally, and repeat this technique after you have made the jump.

Ok this is bugging me a little, did he actually mean perfect shield? All he said was charge shot out of shield. Does that mean done after releasing a shield? or does charge shot now cancel straight from shielding?

EDIT: I read that you can do any move from a shield (i assume that means the move cancels the shield, as in you dont have to wait for the shield to go down)...but if that's true, what's the point of perfect shielding?

As far as I could gather Gimpyfish got high, played some smash, noticed a perfect shield and then a retaliation attack out of it, then told half of the boards how amazing it was. "did you see that man??"

I wouldn't call it a Samus specific tech, but just a perfect shield. And yes, he means perfect shield and not a normal shield.

well that about sums it up I guess

alright, thanks

Yeah. If you don't perfect shield, you'll recoil from the attack and won't get out the charge shot as quick.
