What are the differences between Japan Samus and USA samus?

List differences such as combos, damage, and what slightly different elements make samus better in the Japanese version.

@ Kenryu14

i guess the biggest thing is the combination of less DI plus her up b being better (11 frames of invincibility vs only 2 in U version). way better at escaping certain punishes, plus it's harder to DI out of upb in the japanese version

less di in general means it's harder to di out of some of her F-air---> other moves 2 hit combo stuff, plus it's also harder to di out of platform traps so that you land on the ground instead of the platforms when you get hit by samus' dair. in that sense, her techchase set ups are pretty guaranteed in J version

there are some other minor char specific differences (i think up-smash and something with her down b), but overall the playstyles between U and J should pretty much be the same except for the fact that her J up-b is a much more reliable safety net.
