Mewtwo doesn't really have anything that really warrants too many Up-B out of shields from Samus. Mewtwo's shield pressure is usually spaced and ground based, so if Samus ever really "needs" to up B out of shield then you're doing something that really bothers the Samus and you should be able to shield it because it should have nothing to do with vulnerability frames.wow, that's like amazing.
One question, does M2 have to worry about the "hugz" much? Up-B out of shield from Samus or is he too floaty for that to be a great threat?
Light shielding is purely defensive. There is no utility for Light shielding and attempting to grab. You have more shield stun and you slide much further than hard shielding. If you want to play for shield grabs/WD grabs on anyone then you may as well try directing your shield downward.Haha this is an amazing place lol. I have a friend who plays samus and its a pain in the ***. I love the baby shadowballs tho lol.
Do you think its best to light shield or try and aangle my shield down so I dont get shield poked and can still potentially get a grab off.
Exactly what you said... practice. The length of the WD depends on the angle of the air dodge as well...Playing against people like captain falcon, I get in a down throw and I can predict the tech chase away from me(like in front of me), but I have difficulty following him... I'm sure it's because I haven't completely grasped the full length of Mewtwo's awesome wavedash, but other than good ole "practice makes perfect", how exactly would I increase this length?
pikachu should be easy in relative to the other characters out there, downtilt destroys pika, she's pretty easy to combo with fairs and upairs, she also dies at low percents to upthrow.@outRAGEous: To beat Pikachu you must outplay and read him. It's not in the least bit easy though...
did somebody say FALCON?!Hey Taj: how about C. Falcon next? Unless you've already got something planned...
Ha ha so true. I was thinking more wavedashing in for a grab vs shield grabbing. Often if Im in a light shield and want to grab ill just switch the shields.Light shielding is purely defensive. There is no utility for Light shielding and attempting to grab. You have more shield stun and you slide much further than hard shielding.

Ah, the Axe Smash as I've heard it called. Pika also has Thunder, but really, "Just don't play stupid" sums it up lol.pikachu should be easy in relative to the other characters out there, downtilt destroys pika, she's pretty easy to combo with fairs and upairs, she also dies at low percents to upthrow.
all it has on you is upsmash, imo, mewtwo has the advantage on this matchup, just don't play stupid
did somebody say FALCON?!
ur saying that you get hit by the first nair of falcon and CC it and then you shield the 2nd hit and then grab thru it.I generally use the first hit of the nair as a free grab since you can CC it, shield the second one and then grab through it. You may have to wavedash out of shield since good falcon's will generally space to hit with the tip of the nairs.
Ha ha tahts soooo how I remember it lol.fair is better, more priority
fair is ur best friend in this matchup
c falcon is ur chance to do amazing combos
match should go something like this: he grabs and zero to deaths you, you grab, and zero to 70 him, then he nairs you and kills you again. repeat.
favorite matchup by far
Exactly. Bad match-up for Mewtwo unless you can force C. Falcon out over an edge...fair is better, more priority
