With the power suit ON - A Samus guide 25/5/08: *Not getting further updates*

[Gum]

does anyone else see samus being super mega low tier?
got a worse nerfing than CF, and that's saying something

can't wait to see the inevitable good combo video that somebody will manage with her though

Um...what? definitely not dude. NO ONE got worse nerfing than teh Captain. You obviousley havn't seen some of the good Samus players on the boards. Samus is amazing to be frank.

Why is samus's weight listed as a con? Or are you talking about falling speed? Because weight as in how far you fly when smashed she is one of the heavyest characters now i think about the same as charizard and ganon.

I recommend Tudor, an excellent player as Samus.

Samus is the SECOND slowest faller in the game. Jigglypuff is the slowest. Falling slowly aids recovery, but Samus doesn't need it. If Samus fell a little bit faster, she would be godly. Go try SH zair in heavy brawl, then brag about the ownage.

So Zair = awesome and Zair + Heavy Brawl = godly. I haven't read too much about it but I've seen threads about Heavy being standard for tourneys. So then would it be safe to assume when it comes to tourneys Samus = Death?

ive read this before and it was helpful

bump..

this really should be stickied for people new to samus...

 

[0RLY]

I wish I could update the OP. I have like sooo much more to add.

 

[Undrdog]

Hmm... Well you could create your own guide with it's own thread. Then create something of a compendium like I did in the Pit forums.

You wouldn't need to worry about stickying things whenever something new comes up so long as you have that stickied. ^_^

"You wouldn't need to worry about stickying things whenever something new comes up so long as you have that stickied. ^_^"
I'm not... really sure what that means... @.@
I know the guide could use more additions and everything... but it'd be nice to have some kind of guide readily available for reference, you know?

 

[Undrdog]

What I meant was, if you have a thread that serves as a table of contents stickied in your forum, then the creator of that thread can simply update the thread when new and important threads are made.

 

[Hive]

Oh yea, that's a good idea! I doubt it will be done though

 

[Hate_Crew]

nice guide, ive been playing samus relilously since N64, i have been undefeated in melee for the most part, very few stood a chance, but brawl through a curve ball at me, they made her much slower and its hard to adjust to that, good work tho

Though the guide is not complete...
it should still be stickied.

I may as well make my thread more than a match-up thread, 0RLy. If you have anything you wish to add, you could send me a PM and I'll credit you for the information. It's just a thought.

This shouldn't be stickied, cuz the OP even says in the title that it will NOT be getting further updates.... this is a dead topic if he's not gonna continue to add stuff that gets found out about Samus

Dair is neccessary. You can break off into many combos using dair.

For example, if you hit them with dair at a % where they lift off the ground, you can put them in unavoidable combos such as dair + uair + zair, dair + usmash or dair + neutral B, which often kills them pretty much. Against smaller characters, not only is it needed, but it is pretty much the only way to combo.

Which brings me to Usmash. It is, in my opinion, Samus's best move after zair. Not only is it one of the most powerful, but it knocks them slightly into the air, meaning its a great combo starter. Utilt is garbage btw, don't use it, ever. Dtilt is where its at, it has better range than Utilt and it is a good finisher. Dthrow also can lead to better combos than Fthrow. Dthrow--->Uair is unavoidable. The only point of the match where you should Fthrow is when the opponent is near the edge, which puts them in a good position for a spike.

I dunno if this stuff was already mentioned, I just don't feel like reading 4 pages -.-

MC Cancelling definition

It might be helpful to point out in the guide that you can follow a lag cancelled missile with any other move. At low percentages you can shoot a super missile and immediately forward smash, if the missile connected then both will hit. You can be very creative with this little detail and I feel it could use a little more attention and space then you're giving it.
