The Samus Boards are at Peace | The Dead Social

[DelxDoom]

honestly, Samus is a decent character when you first start playing her until you realize your opponent is at 170 percent and you have no idea what to do

I just shoot uncharged charge shots until they back off in confusion.

Or kill me.

Mmm, well, thanks for your help. <3
The samus boards are much calmer than the peach boards. I'm surprised I didn't have to sift through 20 pages of stuff to find my original message.

I think Yoshi is one of the least used too. I see more samuses than yoshis. Time to pay a visit to the princess's royal steed!

The peach boards a freak of nature that moves so fast it only exists in the physical state of plasma. (That's what lightning is in case ya didn't know)

Also Jiggs is far from the least used of all time; she's top tier in Melee so that automatically disqualifies her.

the only jigglypuff i have ever seen used in tourney ever was thinkaman. ive seen at least two samus's used in tournament

 

[Serris]

I'm talking about the entire series. If you were to gauge how often she's used in this title compared to others in the series, she's the least-used. And there's data somewhere that supports her being the least-played in Brawl. I need to find that thread again.

 

[IsmaR]

Playing how the game was meant to be played, Samus isn't so popular either. My brother earlier was still raging that "accidentally holding shield before starting turns you into a chick."

 

[-Crews-]

Heh, now I'm actually slightly considering busting out Samus in SiiS5 or Cot5. Not on anyone good, just on the newbs I will most likely not even get to play. Haha, I might as well try to increase my "technical" ranking with Samus. It's not too hard when no one but me and a few others are really trying.

 

[DtJ Composer]

"really trying" isn't really what I'd call using Samus "just on the newbs I will most likely not even get to play."

But it's just an arbitrary ranking based on if you've ever had next to your results, so it is what it is. You might as well use whoever you actually main and save yourself the trouble.

 

[Serris]

Funny how we all continue to use a character we know sucks. In terms of gameplay, anyway.

 

[IsmaR]

If by gameplay, you mean Other M's, then maybe. I'm still kinda in the middle on liking/thinking it's ok at best.

When I said "really trying", I meant "really using her".

I do main Samus. Notice the little character avatar underneath of my name.

Yea, I agree. Personally, pride is about the only thing that keeps me using her. That and the fact that even after the game has been out for this long, she still harbors a fairly sizable surprise factor. Unfortunately, it only lasts a few games maximum given your opponent is skilled and can adapt.

I loved Other M.


Who would you use at SiiS5 before you break out your main for newbs? Your secondary?

 

[Darkshadow7827]

I got some vids to post up later They are from an offline tourney, but it's pretty much a no-name scrubby tourney anyway. At one point I had to switch her out, cause I couldn't effectively deal with Samus + Lucario vs Snake + Snake.

Oddly enough, yes. My secondaries are better.

 

[FightAdamantEevee]

Hello Samus mains

 

[Serris]

Going to my first tournament ever tomorrow, and it's Marvel. Wish me luck.

[FightAdamantEevee]

I miss you Issy. I miss the days when we would run through the universe, and all the other places too. Those were the good ol days. But now I have no one.

IsmaR I can read your writing again.


What happen.

 

[IsmaR]

I decided to not be a lame and type my whole post out, vB code and all.

And always remember that I'll be right here, FAE. *points to/touches chest*

 

[Serris]

I didn't even place. Had fun, though.

Well Bin Laden is dead.

 

[IsmaR]

I see bombs being considered top tier now. Discuss.

Happy birthday DMO!

 

[IsmaR]

Happy Mother's Day, Samus boards.

 

[Gamegenie222]

What up Samus boards. The Falco boards are working on the Samus MU right now and input will be greatly appreciate it.

[DelxDoom]

one of the worst MUs ever

 

[Gamegenie222]

Doesn't mean it's impossible like Ganon vs Ice Climbers. Samus can still win the MU if the players the MU right and punishes mistakes.

 

[DelxDoom]

that is ALMOST like saying ganondorf can win if ICs run into his fsmash

It's a bad matchup for Samus if Falco knows the matchup. That's about all there is to it as far as I know.
Lasers cut off a lot of what Samus can do.

On the other hand I am terrible at this matchup anyway. I find ftilt to be my best tool, followed by fulljumping, which is always a bad thing since Falco can just fj bair.

Essentially, fundamentally as a low tier character, Samus needs to be creative and work surprises.

and yes, Samus gets extra stun from anything electric, so lasers are especially bad for her

i would have posted in that other thread but instead i just responded here,
sorry

 

[Gamegenie222]

You make me sad with that post but whatever that's your choice man.

This isn't actually a thing is it?

 

[Xyro77]

This isn't actually a thing is it?

i HIGHLY doubt electrical attacks do any more stun than normal.

 

[Serris]

Someone might want to test that out just to be sure. I haven't even touched Brawl in ages.
