Here I go again with my mass critiquing.
Hey can you guys rate my samus and give me advice on anything I need to improve on?

-thanks
First things first. Nice music
.
You started off pretty well, but if marth is approaching you that fast in the beginning then you need to shield >_>. Also, when you dash attacked, you could of dash canceled a fsmash or ftilt or something and it probably would have been better. And when you edgeguard marth you can shoot a standing homing missile then run off with a nair and it almost always kills them. If they are below you then ledgehop a nair.
Only approach with dash attack if you think marth is going to do an aireal. You were dash attacking when marth was just standing there...he could of done anything to punish you easily.
... Again with the dash attacks
. And you got shieldgrabbed this time.
When you dash attacked twice into a nair at around 1:25 you tried to jump and hit marth with another nair...if you would have just naired again without jumping then you would of gotten him
. And don't use dash attack to edgeguard.
You missed an easy grapple recovery near the end of the video
.
Basically here are the things your samus needs to work on:
Spacing
Not using dash attack that much and using it in different situations.
Your shield pressure game. (Jabs and tilts)
Edgeguarding(You did ok, but only because the marth wasn't that good. You could of done smarter things)
Dash canceling.
I want you to go play 1 day without using the dash attack. At all. For anything. Learn what you can do instead, and figure out ways to space yourself properly with your wavedash's. Dash attack isn't a bad move, it can be used to knock marth out of his air attacks, but you definitely need to find new things to do. You are too predictable. Try out new things and see how they work

Those two actually happened within like 10 minutes of each other, they're from the loser's semis and loser's finals from the same tournament. The first is vs a technically sound but kinda inexperienced Fox who doesn't get a lot of Samus practice. The second is vs one of my crewmates, who obviously has a lot more Samus experience, as well as being just a much better player overall.

Also from the same tournament.
1st Match:
In the very beginning you could of followed your smash missile, and daired him since he reflected it. Just a thought.
Ok, you noticed he likes to spam upsmash. Good
.
Hahaha I liked the extender grab. I'm sure you noticed but you jumped past rag and missed lol. You could of turn around charged shot and it still would have worked though! And I bet you anything he would of DI'ed it horribly.
You did fine this match..not much you would of worked on XD.
2nd Match:
I liked the Dsmash's to tech chase with..but maybe try to dtilt? You can combo from it into several things. Just a suggestion.
You make really good use of your wavedash's. I need to be more effective like that XD. And wow at 1:24is you chased him onto a platform then dsmashed. Brilliant
. Gotta hate those shine spikes though. I like recovering above on stages I cant grapple low onto the wall against fox's. I just feel safer even though samus dies off the top easily you can bomb to interrupt their attacks.
I have seen you full hop fairs a few times now. Why? I'm not sure whats going on in your head XD. It seems like if you shffl them, you would be punished less.
Nice edgeguard at 3:08.
What were you thinking a 3:20? Standing chargeshot against a fox...when he is far away from you? Ew. XD.
This fox is a lot better, but I think you would have done better if you would of stayed in your shield more. You have good movement and use it well, but sometimes the fox would throw out attacks that could of been screw attacked out of your shield easily. The full hopped fairs weren't working for you either >_>. Another thing you could of done, is use the platforms a little better. Running away from fox then jumping and platform dashing off and fast falling a bair or nair will take a lot of people by surprise. It's hard to punish because of samus's lack of lag, and not near as slow as shffling.
3rd Match:
Wow. That is a tall T.V.
SWD in tournament match usually = bad. >_>.
Hmmm I don't have much advice for you on this one. You did great. Try ledgehopping nairs against marth though >_>. Spikes them into the top of the side of battlefield.
ok. Here is my Samus video against my friend's Falco. I think I did well this time?

Another one:

Ok, well...I watched both of the videos..and I was going to critique them apart but I don't really need to. You have a TON of things you need to work on. And that falco player was absolutely horrible...you could do pretty much whatever you wanted and still beat him. So it's hard to give you advice against someone when anything would work. So I will just give you some general advice
.
Things you need to work on:
Advanced tactics. You looked really sloppy >_>.
Missile spamming.
Movement.
Edgeguarding.
Recovering.
I saw you just use moves...just to use them. Whenever you were playing it seemed that you didn't really have a strategy...or method of attacking or defending..you just kinda tried to hit him. You also just randomly wavedashed when it wasn't useful at all. Watch videos of some good samus players and see how they move. You need to make your movements and attacks useful, not random.
Against falco, it's good to stay at close to mid range. If you get far away he will(should) laser spam you to death. You do not want this. You want to be at the distance so that if he lasers he will be nervous of you moving in and hitting him after you shield. You need to punish falco for EVERYTHING. Screw attack out of your shield is your best friend. Shut down his approach's and edgeguard him well. Do anything you can to get falco off of the stage quickly..he has horrible recovery and samus's edgeguarding is perfect for killing him at any %. Use utilt or your sex kick to edgeguard. You can up throw to charge shot falco at almost any damage. At 0% you need to Short hop!!! Higher %'s you full jump. Make sure and use platforms to your advantage!!! You can move across the stage quickly by platform dashing and catch falco often with fast falled attacks off the platforms.
Practice more and watch a lot of samus videos and you should get a LOT better
.
Whew done.
