Hi all Samus mains! I'm having trouble finding a good secondary for a Samus main. Any ideas?
I have an idea.....
Dont pick a secondary
Or find the reason of why do you want to pick a secondary
For a specific matchup? Then i can help on this :)

My secondary is Lucina. I've found, together, they can cover a majority of bad matchups.

I have Yoshi as a secondary but honestly I'm pulling him out far less than I used to, to the point where I kinda suck with him now.

You probably want a character who can compliment Samus in some way so you have another playstyle at your disposal, but honestly, I think that just training with Samus is worth more in the long run unless there's a certain MU you're 100% sure you're never going to win, though I don't think that's ever truly the case...

Also, when choosing a secondary, make sure it's a character you're comfortable with, don't go picking up a character just because you heard they make a good secondary for Samus, I don't think a definitive answer for that kind of thing really exists anyway.

Mario or Cloud are good options imo as they cover a lot of our bad MUs and aren't that difficult to pick up

Mario is a solid choice. I play both Mario and Samus and they cover each other's bad MUs pretty well. And since you only want the character as a secondary, Mario isn't hard to pick up.

I'll second Cloud. He's really easy to pick up and play, a lot of the skills you use as a Samus main translate over nicely, and he has decent match ups vs Mario and Pikachu, my only true problem match ups.

In all honesty, if you want your Samus to become solid at higher level play you're going to have to solo main her. My secondaries just can't seem to catch up to the caliber of my Samus no matter how hard I try. Could just be a me thing. Personally, I just second characters that I like playing and that have decent MUs against Samus's bad ones. Personally I second Luigi, DK, and Sheik. If anything they're more of pockets than secondaries though.
