Just to note that our strongest kill move is up angled Fsmash. Closely followed by sweetspot bair, then charge shot.A fun thing to do here is that you can do here is when Samus shoots a charged shot at you, cape in the opposite direction. Cape's reflection "hitboxes" covers his entire body, even from behind, so that might catch them by surprise. I believe her strongest kill move, other than charged shot, is her dtilt. On another note, I think she has the strongest dtilt in the game, and we have the worst.
I only played Samus once, and that was because they forgot to switch to Zero Suit, so I don't have any match-up experience against her.
QFT.You'll have to play good mindgames when samus has the fully charge shot ready. (Cape)
I know. It's really about being on high alert when samus players have it fully charge.QFT.
A good samus won't just lackidasically toss out a fully charged power-shot like a scrubby samus would...More than likely, they'll try comboing into it.
No BF? Thanks for the heads up. I saw that you said Halberd is a good stage for Mario to take Samus to. Yoshi's has a similar stage set to it so is it a good stage?Don't go to BF. You are asking to die if you go there. We control the platforms FAR better then you guys do. If you guys shield while your on a platform, say goodbye to a very large portion of your %.
Taking her to CS is the greatest option, but a Samus will more then likely ban this. I suggest that you take it to your own personal preferance. Some Samuses don't like Brinstar, so that is a safe bet. Personally, if a Mario took me to Brinstar, Halberd, Castle Siege or Delfino, I'd be pretty scared.
Going by that way of writing down MUs.
Neutral: Slight Adv for Mario
Mario CP: Adv for Mario
Samus CP: Slight Adv for Samus
55:45 to Mario, maybe 60:40.
Nah, Mario controls BF better. Just most Mario players don't understand how good D-air is for platform pressure and stage control. Samus imo is most difficult to deal with on Smashville out of all the neutrals.Don't go to BF. You are asking to die if you go there. We control the platforms FAR better then you guys do.

That's inaccurate. We control BF better, I won't bother arguing with you on this matter. Smashville is not a good place for Samus on Mario because provided you can shield platform cancel the platform, getting into Samus is a piece of cake. I played a Mario today on every stage and CP just to clarify my thoughts on the matter. He has trouble on BF, mainly because of the priority of our zair and uair. He found it very difficult to approach because we had every single platform covered with something. Mario DESTROYS on CS in this MU. You have no idea how easy it to is for Mario to rush into Samus here. The first section hinders our ledge approach HORRIFICLY, the second one should be obvious as to why we do badly there.Nah, Mario controls BF better.

That's correct.Samus's anti-airs are definitely annoying. Nothing new. You're not supposed to jump unnecessarily in this matchup anyway. That is however difficult for several Mario users to cope with.
Then go there.Speaking of Brinstar, it is Mario's best stage in pretty much every matchup not named MK I should state.
Why bother arguing about how Samus can reach all the platforms with her Z-air and stuff? The only time Mario should be on platforms is for high recoveries or for extending juggles. He controls from below the platforms however significantly better than Samus does since his D-air is not just good for land traps, but also is a better shield poke and mixup tool (SH D-air under the low platforms, fullhop D-air under the top platform to give you an idea). Assuming Mario (or anyone for that matter) isn't jumping on the platforms like a moron, what control the opponent has on the platforms is irrelevant unless they are going for juggles, which is the advantage Mario has in controlling BF. Samus's platform game does control a lot of space, but it isn't hugely threatening, as opposed to more or less just being a consistent reminder to never be above her unnecessarily.That's inaccurate.

No. I'm saying that in this MU, Mario has the tools to control YI better then we do. That's just my outlook on that though, so you can take it with a pinch of salt.Killer, are you saying that Mario is significantly better at stage control?
I took that as "YI is a good stage to take Samus to." I'm good.No. I'm saying that in this MU, Mario has the tools to control YI better then we do. That's just my outlook on that though, so you can take it with a pinch of salt.
Your region is stupid. PS2 is an infinitely superior stage to PS1. By far much less abusive, and more matchup balanced than PS1. The tournament I did attend on the EC however did happen to have PS2 as a legal CP.PS2 isn't normally legal where I am. EC all day!
