The best way to get around a spamming Samus

[GuyverProxy]

My main is Marth and my friend plays an extremely annoying Samus. His tactic is to keep spamming missles until you're either hit or distracted, then he comes in with the shoulder bash, grabble throw and air kick. Yep...that's his whole tactic. He doesn't do anything else and he falls for the same tricks over and over, he's very predictable. I usually wavedashing/shield my way in and go for a grab/slash combo. I guess this would be easier to show in a video but i lack the necessities, I think. i was wondering if there were any ways to overcome his spamming ways. Thankkssss!

I main Marth AND Samus, although I'm not too good at Smash as of now. One tactic I heard that Marths can use is to actually stand in place and use neutral + A to stop the missiles. Maybe once you see them spam a lot, you can just wavedash onto the ledge and wait it out. If he is as predictable as you say, he will probably come after you.

In my opinion, once you get close to him once, try your best not to lose that range. Maybe you can keep him close by not using your tippers? Grab a bit, and try to time your counters effectively against him in close range.

Actually, if all else fails, go up to him and tell him to stop being a ***** and play like a man xD

Yeah: Press the a button or c-stick.

You can destroy Samus' missiles with any ground or aerial attack (not counting side-b). Just approach her with fairs, who cares, Marth eats projectiles like no tomorrow.

almost exactly what i was going to say. don't give him room to breath. don't let him use those "chaep" missiles. also you say he's predictable, thats a huge advantage for you. and use MINDGAMES son.

projectiles = insects
sword = fly swatter

connect the dots

That sums the situation up perfectly. Just shffl fairs.

Funny enough, I was reading a guide about Marth earlier because that was going to be my 2nd main. Just keep eating the missiles until your friend gets impatient and maybe decideds to fire a missile then quickly charge you. Then from there find your own way to get rid of the missile/dodge both the missile and your friend and punish him for it. My favorite way to punish someone would be to start a series of chainthrows or some other annoying tactic.

forward tilt the missiles >_> not too hard, just time it right.

Missiles taste delicious.

 

[Banks]

yea if you keep eating them. but you should not be.

 

[St. Viers]

you can always just jump over them too.

Marth has too many ways to stop/avoid projectiles...

jut something fun if he continues spamming to the point where you could hit him (read, it isn't the best thing to do):
use counter: I believe it deflects the missile, and then the sword will hit Samus as well.

 

[pdk]

empty jumping leaves you pretty open though and counter isn't quite guaranteed

LMAO, I played against this one guy that did that because he was afraid I was going to throw sausages at him. So I just ran over and grabbed him, chaingrabbed a bit, and comboed into a 9 hammer. And he was like "Good ****, everyone else starts out with sausages." I'd hate to see how bad his friends are at this game.

Most characters can actually cancel Samus' missiles with a tilt (usually ftilt), a neutral A jab attack, a dash attack, smash, or an aerial. Just give it a try, swatting Samus' missiles is especially easy with Marth. Also some B moves cancel the missiles. If they come in with a shoulder bash, shieldgrab it. The grapple grab is a bit slower than most grabs so it's more predictable. Either hit them while they're trying to grapple, jump and hit them while the grapple is out, or spotdodge the grapple and counterattack.

If all else fails, you can fight fire with fire and span them back.

Move out of the midwest...

 

[Endless Nightmares]

Who me? lol Midwest is all I know

 

[Banks]

you should move to maine, where the smash community flourishes.

^^ haha very funny post fo sho

and thats false info st. viers you don't reflect the missle back, and i think he said they stand on the other side so you didn't shoot your sword out and hit them i think...

Just Neutral A and swing your sword.. problem solved Marth ***** Projectiles fo sho

 

[OcarinaLink]

not Link's projectiles; too much lag with neutral A to cut through boomerang AND bomb.

 

[thesage]

Use jigglypuff and approach with fair (bair works too but it's harder).

With peach you can just float over them.

Ness uses fair to advance and bat to reflect projectiles.

 

[JesiahTEG]

A good way but kinda hard is to full hop all of your fairs. It forces samus into an uncomfortable position. Full hop over the missiles, so your in front and above samus, and the only thing she has left is her nair, which is good, but the samus's hitbox is her body, marth's is his sword.

 

[CluelessBTD]

I like to waveshield until I'm close enough to go for a Gerudo Dragon, cuz it goes underneath the missles (unless too close)
