I don't understand why some Samus players prefer up-air or up-b edge guards against space animals to up-tilt and forward-tilt. Really.

I use upair when fox tries to shine kill me. I am very low under the stage and he tried to come all the way down and shine me. I will just upair. Not even jump to do so. Then I will second jump. there are a number of options after that.

Eh I disagree Hylian, and you were a number of years too soon to jump the gun here. Running off with a rising nair into a fallings up air covers all side b options and leaves a second jump to cover the final fox/falco fire with a retreating nair to stage

I'm confused: is this running sh nair from the stage?
ya its to cover the side b to the upper plats, like on yoshis or battle, then falling up air to cover side b on stage or to ledge with one more jump to cover fox fire option
