- This is a continuation of my "How to beat" series. Following Inkgling & Greninja, now it's Samus' turn
Here is a guide on how to fight aganist Samus and Dark Samus.
These characters are famous for being annoying to play agains, however, I believe that this is mostly because we lack an understanding of their weaknesses and options in the neutral game.
In the video I provide a brief summary of what to expect from the Samus players on every situation. Or at least, the most important ones.
This is simple, but it's strays away from all the basic stuff that you see on TH-cam, Twitter, and reddit.
The key is to learn what to do with Samus is using charge shot. By identifying what they are going for, we can keep them from playing the game they want.
I've also included tips for edge guard and general, usefull information that I've gathered by studying the character.
Enjoy! - เกม
This is an excellent guide, you have a good understanding of what samus wants in the matchup and how to beat the base level. To reiterate: samus is a COUNTER-OFFENSIVE character. They thrive on intercepting an approach option and converting on it for big damage. As you say, the downside to this is that these are commital, risky options.
First, you should generally pick FD against samus if they leave it open. It is samus's worst stage. The reason for this, is samus has very poor disadvantage state. If you are in advantage, GET SAMUS IN THE AIR! Samus has no move that allow her to land safely, samus is very floaty, and samus is heavy, meaning they are combo food once above somebody. Of course there are still risks (down air is strong!), but it is where samus is most uncomfortable. This should be your goal every time.
A point with fast characters: the fact that you can enter and leave samus's burst range multiple times is VERY good. Fox is so good in this matchup for reasons like jumping in, jumping out, and punishing commital options (like screw attack). You must win the game of patience vs samus, and know how to punish her whiffs.
For the ledge trap. What you must know is that bomb, if properly placed, will cover EVERY get up option (besides roll). Get up attack will have you invincible through the attack, so you can trade but will still get hit by the bomb. If you WAIT on the ledge, you will usually avoid the first bomb placed. However, the higher your percent, the shorter your invincibility time while hanging, so the bomb may catch you. Generally samus will cover roll in this scenario with charge shot, so you have no good options. In that specific scenario, you can try drop down + double jump to avoid bomb and escape, but you will regrab in these scenarios. If the samus notices you hanging and drops two bombs, you can mash roll to get through both. Bomb has a lot of end lag, so you can always roll through if they drop two bombs and you react to this. However, the samus can mix this up if you do it too early. All part of the mindgame!
If samus's bomb placement is even slightly off (as in it is farther from the ledge), you will be able to jump over with some characters. Punish weak samuses that do not place the bomb correctly. Also, if the samus SHORT hops before bombing, then the bomb will bounce and not hit the ledge hang. You can use this to hurt weaker samuses (note that a full hop bomb will still detonate at the ground level and cover the hang).
In end, to beat the ledge trap, you must mix up roll, get up attack, wait & hang, and perfectly timed neutral get up during the explosion. Almost all of these options will lose to a single choice from samus (usually, charge shot or up tilt), so it's a very poor RPS scenario, but you must give yourself a chance. NEVER mash that neutral get up right away! Never roll when they are charging! You are asking for a stock loss.
I just pinned this. Appreciate the knowledge, and the comment!
I watched this and beat my first samus in elite smash
This is just awesome to read! Thank you! I have more ideas coming up
That was really good! Also snake would be interesting
I appreciate it man! How to beat Snake will be up later today!
This was a great guide
Thanks man! I paused the "How to beat" series for a while, but it will come back eventually, with some interesting MUs. Once again, thanks for the comment, thank you for the sub, and have an awesome day!
FINALLY for 4 years I've been waiting for someone to explain how to deal with Samus , thanks man you're analysis is great! If you have more tips on how to deal with Samus maybe a video explaining Samus' bomb setups that would be great ! Keep it up, liked and subscribed :D very good stuff
Hey! I didn't properly respond to this because I knew I was going to be out for a while.
First of all, I really appreciate the comment and the feedback, it's what keeps me going!
I think you'll enjoy the lates one I published. I believe it kind of shows what all of us went through when we started. Hope you enjoy it! And share it if you like it!
Once again, thank you!
definitely helpful, more like this
I appreciate the comment! How to Beat Snake will be up later today.
Have a great day!!
La bola me parece un proyectil demasiado injusto. Es un hit que hace demasiado daño con solo pulsar un botón, y en la mayoría de los casos no te da tiempo a reaccionar. Encima a medio cargar puede dar combo a otros ataques.
Buen vídeo, saludos.
Gracias por el comentario! 100% es un projectil muy fuerte y facil de usar.
Pero si logras quitarle ese jueguito, Samus se desmorona. Pero mas facil dicho que hecho.
Tengo unos videos nuevos que capaz te gustan. No son "how to beat" pero ojala los disfrutes!
El proximo sale esta semana.
Tuto de Robin porfa
Lo hablamos en persona, pero te respondo por aca por que lo estaba pensando. Ese se viene! Pero voy a sacar unas cosas cool que he tenido en mente desde hace un tiempo primero y luego le doy con ese
joker please!
Thank you for the comment brother! I have a couple of videos on cue, but keep this in mind!
I would have to do more research though, because I think i mostly beat joker because I main Pikachu. I want to do it so that every character can apply a game plan.
I will keep you posted!

Samus is usually considered mid tier
I think he was considered a mid tier, but I've seen it higher in all the recent tier lists
