Samus's shield grab

[Falcos_feather]

Let's face it!
We all know Samus has got her *** nerfed badly!
And on top of that her Shield grab comes out pretty slow compared to most characters..

What do you think about using her shield grab?.. Is it reliable at all?
Should one go for (B-up out of shield) instead?

Thoughts? Ideas?

I never use her shield grab, too punishable. up b isn't bad though

Shield grab slow attacks. Screw Attack foes OoS if they're close enough. Jab out of shield is good. Nair out of shield is better. Dtilt out of shield is effective for KOing if your foe is damaged enough. Bomb out of shield is gimmicky and rather ineffective. However, the fact that I mentioned bombs will make n00b love me.

Actually I moved on from using bombs LOL

My favorite thing to do now is dash attack -> jab -> dash pivot grab

yayuhhh

Hmm.. yeah it makes sense using her shield grab on slow, powerful attacks that normaly bumps you and your shield to far away to use a B-up or jab out of the shield.

You performed really well there! While Rohins was sitting back chargin his lazer, firing missiles, and sending off his zair, you were dealing the brunt of the offensive with great move choices! Yeah, seeing Samus camp and fail... is not a pretty sight.

Ive used it on occasion but UpB OoS and Pivot grab work much better than the shield grab but you dont want to just completely get rid of it you can still use it to mix things up.
