Always nice to see a Samus Dirty bomb combo.

 

I'm not a fan of Smash 4 in general, but some of those combos made it look like a good game. That Samus shield break combo reminded me of what happens in Smash 64. Super cool stuff!

 

That number 1 Samus clip, tho. Glad to see underrated characters get more attention.

 

That Saums combo was both original and amazing, its nice to see some originality in Smash 4 which it usually doesn't get, especially form an underused character. Also did anyone else noticed that 4 out of 5 videos were a FG Falcon getting destroyed? This just shows how overused and bad FG Falcons are :/

They could be good players, it's just that when you play defensively/smartly against an offensive opponent you generally win unless the offensive opponent also remembers to shield/do mind game things. That's pretty much the only reason why Zelda is viable... Counting on people to not be defensive or be improperly defensive. Or just counting on them to not play smartly/like semi-good players.

 

That Samus combo was amazing!!! Also, props for @NaruMom for getting twice on Omni's series

 

I've seen the samus bomb shield break before but never the bomb spike, nice.

That Ganon Dair read was better than it looked (most would have opted to fair,nair with that read but that opened up more followups with a tighter hitbox) and fearless ganoncides are always beast. I'd put that one higher than the 5 slot but I'm a biased Ganon Main ;D

Good show all

 

Not really an "Omni original" if you're just using other people's clips.

 

double rainbow...

 

Hype stuff

 

I love Samus' Dirty Bomb, but it's a pretty standard and easy samus combo. (If you found that impressive be sure to swing by the Samus boards!)
Both the Ganandorf and especially the Falco combos were much more impressive.

It seems extremely situational though. The opponent would need to be positioned in between the ledge and the bomb, which is a fairly easy position to avoid unless their shield was broken, like in the video. Sick combo nonetheless.

Not at all. As long as you shield break on the main stage and not a platform you can just push people to the edge by just pushing them while walking. And you get a guaranteed kill at around 30% depending on the character. It doesn't require any spacing or di awareness the other strings in the video showed.

It's basically a clear example of the complete lack of knowledge Samus is capable of from the overall Smash community. She's not great but she's capable of more than people give her credit for

That samus combo doe

 

Gotta admit that was a sweet combo from Samus. I would have opted for a fully charged beam to do damage, but that person went and took the stock

 

I wish the clips were shown at full speed first before they get broken down. I'd rather see the clip in real time to be able to fully appreciate the decisions being made without knowing what happens due to being shown the slow-mo first.
