Hey everyone I am starting a Samus Missile Guide so everything about missile can be found in one easy spot. I will update front page when more info becomes available and will add videos of things discussed.

To begin the missiles

Homing- 5 damage initially then drops to 4 then 3 with stale moves. Homes in on enemies. Good times to use: Put pressure on enemies shields, set-up edge guards, and for approaches.

Smash- 10 damage initially then drops to 7 then 3 with stale moves. Comes out slower then homing missiles but moves faster and flies in straight path. Good times to use: to pressure enemies and for approaches.

Missile Canceling- yes it is still in. You can do smash missile in a short hop fire missile right before you land. Have to have good timing or difficult to hit smaller characters ie Game and Watch, Kirby and such.

Homing Missile Canceling- very effective from my short experience with game good for approaching. You can spam homing missiles then change up and use a zair strategy is good approach spacing move.

Duel Homing Missile in full jump- Do a full jump fire homing missile on way up fire 2nd after animation ends and before you land.

Triple Missile-Short hop then homing missile full jump either homing or smash then homing when land. You are able to fire smash if fire homing at top rather then smash. So end result should be 3 homing missiles or 2 homing 1 smash. That is what I have been able to do.

platform missile-canceling is possible with quick double jumping, but its rarely useful
BTW, you can tripile smash missile, its just hard as hell. Right when you see you have full hopped, IMMEDIATELY press smash missile, jump smash missile, and smash missile again. If i can record eventually, i will make a video of that.

I hope to have videos up sometime :). If you know anything I have missed or anything I stated is incorrect let me know and I will make changes. Also if you have any videos let me know and I will add to thread. Hope everyone enjoys

Good idea for a guide, but just one word of advice, and I mean no offense by it; take some time to make the grammar a little better and easier to read. All good guides have this. Not a big deal though.

Sorry for the delay on videos I am working on getting a gamebridge. My friend said he can record me doing the techniques I have discussed through wifi and record and will post. Hope to have up by early next week.

Not really sure what you mean. Homing is tilt over b. Smash is smash over b I can add to main page. Also match with my Samus overall good use of missiles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRPqP2l38A4
Hmm... in that video, it seems you have trouble with timing your aerials and missles. I bet it's the lag on wifi. In all of my wifi matches with Samus, I couldn't time my zairs either. But that was only because of the frequent freezing. I'm sure you play a lot better than you did in that video. It just proves that online matches are no compare to real life matches.

Ya that match was my first ever online match with my friend I played at my friends house on his wii over wifi on dsl:embarrass. I'm back at college now and my internet is a lot better and lag isn't too bad usually when I play. My timing with Samus is better then that video shows and I can do everything I have stated about missiles. If i can I will try to record live footage of my wii need money so can get recording equipment so won't be in low quality with my digital camera.
