Considering Samus's _most important_ version of the base gun is the Ice Beam, the Ice Mode is a real no-brainer for her Smash incarnation. Yeah I guess you might want the Wave Beam for damage and maybe later games added more other beams, but you _need_ the Ice Beam to freeze enemies into platforms and to get the titular Metroids off of you.

@ZachHonest2 жыл бұрын

@morsecode7622 жыл бұрын
I can immediatly reference three different things: 1. GALINT 2. Fire Fair 3. Tether interactions with ledge/walls. 1. Within melee, samus can use Aerial Interrupt (AI) to get ~11 frames of GALINT off of ledge. This lets samus output any of samus' 6 frame moves safely(dsmash, dtilt, ftilt). It also lets samus touch the ground safely, which allows for her to get her jump and tether back. This makes the ledge a much safer position for samus. Within P+, samus' only option to get enough GALINT, to do her 6 frame moves, is by doing a very difficult and risky technique(I forget the name of it). This makes getting off of ledge and out of the corner much more difficult, since it's not a safe option. The main refute to this is that samus' Tourney-winner-ledge-dash (TWLD) provides enough GALINT. Because this statement is correct only BEFORE 100%, I do not consider TWLD to be a viable option. 2. Fire fair, in both games, is pretty bad in comparison to other games, because it alternates between being active for 2 frames, then NOT active for 4(P+)/5(Melee) frames. In short, if you arent hitting the first hit of fire fair, you're asking to get punished. On the ledge in both games, it can be used to get off of ledge. However, it can be CC'd into a punish. In melee, AI->6-frame-move covers this option. In melee, fire fair puts the opponent in knockdown, at a high enough percent. This lets us make fire fair safe to hit, since the opponent cant simply fall out of the move's hitstun. This also lets us use the move from ledge safely. In P+, fire fair doesnt ever put the opponent into knockdown. This, combined with the lack of a viable way to get enough GALINT, makes it hard to use off of ledge, since the opponent can ALWAYS CC/ASDI down against it. It also is generally unsafe to hit, unless you get the last hit of fair(the situations where you CAN get the last hit of fair, against a good player, are far and few between). 3. Melee tether allows samus to wall-jump->up B immediately after the tether. Wall jump and Up B both have Invincibility-frames on their startup, making it a good option to challenge opponents on the ledge. P+ tether limits samus to grab ONLY the ledge. On top of this, it does not allow for wall-jump->up B. This allows opponents to challenge samus at the ledge much easier. In short, I think that samus is a character that gets cornered a LOT in both games. Due to this, her ledge options really make-or-break her as a character. I could elaborate on what I like/dislike about her Crawl and ice mode, but I cannot concretely speak about those things, making it difficult to properly articulate. It also doesnt help that I cannot find the frame data on Ice-Mode-moves on Rukaidata.com... Your call on what I do here. P.S. You missed out on how GOOD her grab is, when it connects, in both games. I can say that, against most of melee's top 8 and a good chunk of P+'s cast, she can get a throw into an aerial or a charge shot.

samus is def not that easy to combo. despite being heavy and hard to kill, lots of weaker moves send her too high due to her floatiness. she's probably the hardest character in the top 11 spots of the tier list to combo outside of jigglypuff, with captain falcon having the most consistent punish game on her.

Speaking as a huge Metroid fan I think a lot of Samus' moves just need to be completely overhauled. Keeping her mostly true to her N64 rendition is clearly hurting her, and it makes her look stiff and like she can't handle close quarters confrontations when that clearly isn't the case.
@ZachHonest Жыл бұрын
I've actually heard this take a lot. Tbh I wouldn't be against it, considering there is a clone of Samus now being Dark Samus. I agree with what your saying, honestly I think they could do it, since they did it for Link during Ultimate.
@100organicfreshmemes5 Жыл бұрын
@@ZachHonest I wouldn't be a fan of keeping Dark Samus with the old moveset either, she doesn't actually fight that similarly to Samus, the biggest thing they have in common is appearance. SA-X would probably be the best choice if a character were to be given Samus' old moveset while she and Dark Samus get an update. It'd probably have to be a bigger scale update than Link in Ultimate too. Link is cool but the only things that really got changed were giving him Remote Bomb instead of normal ones and removing his tether grab in favor of a standard one.

Ironically a few of the melee Samus mains I know do not like Samus in this game. Darell shits on her I know for a fact, and I don't think I've ever seen any other melee player outside of plus (who uses Meta Knight more anyways) even trying project plus out, which kind of goes against what you said, "if you made Samus and melee, you'll feel right at home with Project Plus" which is a shame, because she definitely has received the most attention.
