Thanks for the good comments. And truthfully, Mars is right. He was a great Samus in melee and when he says it's about the skill of the player beating someone else with a poor character it's true. I like to think Samus is good because of a lot of reasons; projectiles, disjointed hitbox with the grapple that never loses damage given, amazing recovery, best spike, great up-b out of shield, etc. But the truth is you have to be really good and you have to play her really good and you have to play really smart. If Samus was such a good character it wouldn't take so much work to win every game =(
