To lesser players, yes, Samus sucks royally; don't even bother. Go play Marth or IC or Pit or Olimar or Fox or MK.
Pit is my alternative. That angel is awesome! Furthermore, he and Samus go back a long way, so yeah. Go Samus and Pit!

lolololol.
She's really good at controlling spacing.

I was playing stiltz after just picking her up and using bombs was great.
I would Zair > bomb. And it prevents his follow up.
He would just Sh Fair the rest of the match.
So if you use bombs you can for meta away and control spacing with Zair.

Has anyone found a Homing Missle > Jab > Ftilt > Charge Shot combo?
Like, shooting the homing missle first, then jab > ftilt, the missle hits them, charge shot?

Nothing wrong with using Pit. =) He's just a lot easier to use than Samus and is, all things considered, "better" in the mind of the average player.

and a "so is samus bad or am I missing something?" thread

samus has many interesting setups, she's really variable if we're speaking about her attack scheme
has excellent spam maneuvers, very good comeback, aerial auto cancel, zair gives her an interesting advantage over many characters
sad she only lacks the killing skill she used to have with many moves, I guess that we'll have to rely on edgeguarding, spike and d-tilt (which is somewhat hard to connect when the opponent is with really high percentages)

think about it

I had someone in NC say in the middle of a match that zair was broken. zomg Samus iz teh hax! lol
Zair broken? Nonsense. :laugh:

Lets add in charged shot, missiles, and maybe even all air moves canceling.

Now shes broken.

Erm...
Nope still not broken.

The fact that Samus sometimes can rack up damage on her opponent without even beeing close to receiving damage her self is... pretty freakin awesome!
