Yeah I wanted to enter /something/. Since it was my first and I really don't like (v)brawl all too much... sorry I didn't rep Samus there ;P

There were quite a few names I recognized there haha. pretty intimidating D:

Uhh one combo video by one "Quiksilver"

I think 2:05 looks pretty useful and practical.

3:02 was amazing haha

So, anyway, I heard that the old school drop five Bombs by charging up your Charge Beam and then using your Morph Ball is back. Ah, the good old days of Super Metroid style.

Anybody see the tier list yet? Samus is still 33rd with no movement up or down. :/
Bottom three characters are all from Legend of Zelda though :laugh: LoZ tier FTW!!!!

Falcon higher-tiered than samus ftw
This actually made me a little sick.

Apart from MK tier and top tier, they got practically everything wrong imo. Zelda dropped 9 places...... mhm. I think I'll wait for the next one

Can't really complain. We didn't go down despite not really doing crap, and I actually agree that Falcon is slightly better than her. I disagreed more with high tier than low in general. lulz@TriforceTier

Falcon got ranked higher than Samus?

wait what? Madness?
i feel theres just kind of a realization that falcon was sorely underrated as a result of people just plain not knowing how to play him correctly in brawls infancy, and apparently his recent tournament results are starting to reflect that.

on the other hand, it looks like samus hasnt been doing much in terms of tourney results, not to mention ive heard several people on these boards hinting at the idea that samus's metagame has maxed out as of late. it doesnt seem like things are looking so hot for her, as opposed to falcon.

this is merely speculation on my part, nothing more.

Ally had a large influence on Falcon's rise IMO. Let's get him to play Samus now ;)

Seriously though, I do not think that you can say Saums' metagame has maxed out just yet. After all she's not a bland character whose potential can be seen by just looking at their moveset (coughG&Wcough).

your right, theres HUGE potential in shooting a missile and then sitting on the ledge until time runs out :laugh: jk

idk, you may very well be right, it just seems like the samus community isnt nearly as active as others in advancing their respective character (save for a few dedicated posters), and i just wonder if that really is just a lack of popularity, under-representation or what.

I wish I could do better with Samus.
She's my favorite low tier.

There's a Samus/MK main in my state of Australia who places within the top 5 consistently. lol.
He started maining Samus when I told him that Samus IS TRASH(subtle xyro reference).

Last time I used her in tournament was in America during a low tier event in San Diego.

Edreese owned me with Yoshi :(

Theres a trend going on here...

Noid gets beaten by polter (Yoshi) and you get beaten by Edresse....

This is supposed to be a 65-35 MU people D:

Oh also I really like Samus's voice for Other M, I personally think it suits her, clearly others on YT disagree xD

Yeah IDK why you guys think Yoshi is bad... he's just kinda different from other characters. Overall he's not that easy to gimp, has a ridonkulous projectile, and can still rack up damage and kill with not-horribly-slow moves. Also he has chaingrabs on some chars- that should make him auto high tier at least -_-.

The Yoshi match-up is just weird at first. My first MM was against a Yoshi, I lost. But right after we got done, we had to play for the tourney, I won. The price for cred is $5 apparently.

@KJ - Totally agreed.

If you are serious about samus i can teach you.

I have beat every yoshi i have EVER come across(3 stocked EC's best yoshi). The only one im tied with is YOSH from arkansas. Yoshi is complete trash vs samus. No-idea/Rhyme saw me man handle thier EC yoshi. Its not hard at all.


As for falcon, his jab to grab is guaranteed untill like 200% and since his jab is one of the best in the game its really dangerous. ALL of his smashes KO(d-smash punishes rolls). He can GR certain low tier in to a u-air. His bair KOs and his KNEE gets EARLY KOs. Falcon is not THAT bad. I wouldnt say she is BETTER than samus but certain people out there (lee martin/Ally/RoyR) make falcon look SO much better than he is.

Yes Falcon is not so bad. However he has a limited recovery (not terrible, but it's still somewhat limited, although it does have good distance) and in general he doesn't have that many good approaches.

I have learned that approaching is bad. In fact this game PUNISHES it.

To be fair... our EC Yoshi is not even close or comparable to Florida's Yoshi.

No johns, but gotta give props to higher level low tier mains.

While this is true, the game (Smash) still rewards the player with the successful approach.

Even if the approach is the shorthop airdodge, or a shield, if your approach gets you damage, and beats their defense, that is a successful approach.

I agree, Brawl is stupid and makes approaching get stuffed 90% of the time or more... But some characters have better options than others (Tornado.................., Zair isn't too bad, Lasers, etc)

Walking is also a good approach for many characters, but it just doesn't benefit CF as much because he doesn't have an insta move he can really do out of walking besides like jab lol

(insta meaning around the speed of Samus's ftilt to Snake's ftilt)

My melee disc does not like Yoshi's Story. But it loaded Battlefield and Fountain of Dreams for me the other day, so yay :D
