very effective mindgame out of stage

[SaiX]

i dont know if you knew, but i say it.

when the enemy return to the stage you throw a homing missile, and if you are well located, the enemy (normally) dodges the missile and you will be able to give a dair after the dodge, or if the enemy doesnt dodge, the missile hit him and you also will be able to give a dair after the stun.

i usually do it and work many times.

It's a nice trick,
Watch "Rohins activates Super Samus for the first time"
If your opponent hasn't used his 2:nd jump it's a little harder to perform I think =/

Another nice Mind game I learned by mistake (both players on stage) is SH-zair in the wrong direction, this makes your opponent think:
- Nows my chans!!
But since zair has pretty much no lag on landing you can use many different attacks right after. including fully charged Shot

you have reason, and the second trick also can work

ITT: basic mindgames.

seriously, with the outstanding off stage ability of samus you have a buttload of options for mindgames.

This won't work on me. Homing Missiles can be destroyed with aerial attacks, and people who have attempted to d-air me, have instead been d-aired by me.

I fall under this category as well. I can't tell you how many cocky Falco's or Marth's coming in for a spike have ended up falling to their deaths via my D air. Good stuff.

The good thing about you mentioning this missile mindgame is that it seems to come to us Samus players naturally! And it is **** effective <=o]
