Hey guys. I've noticed in a lot of my matches that I kill with Dtilt and Plasma Shot, probably Samus' two most reliable kill moves. So I decided to sit down and compile the percentages all characters KO at when Samus hits them with a fresh Dtilt or Plasma Shot.
EDIT: SuSa you are right. The CPU set to STOP has some DI involved and it can skew the numbers (they can die later or even earlier). I went back and retook the data with the CPU set to CONTROL. So Plasma Shot percentages have been updated, the opponent KOs earlier.
Why?
+ Dtilt, most importantly is one of Samus' best killing moves. I did this to find out how soon I can KO my opponent with the Dtilt. Now that I know the percentages, I'm less likely to stale my dtilt and rely on other methods to wear the opponent down, then bust it out later.
Method of Testing
+ Training Mode, Final Destination, on a Level 9 Computer (Both STOP and HUMAN controlled).
+ These percentages come with NO DI INVOLVED.
+ At the first percentage they KO, I test that percentage 4-5 more times then bring them down by 1% to find the minimum killing range.
+ Plasma Shot data was taken with computer set to STOP at the center of Final Destination
+ D-tilt data was taken with the computer set to CONTROL.
If you see anything wrong with my method of testing that could skew the data let me know. So without any more ado:
