Just been floating around between several characters but Dark Samus is one I keep coming back to and really enjoying. Excited to hear about these buffs. Also somehow haven't heard of Quik until now.

  • @darkphoenix2
    @darkphoenix2 5 лет назад +2

    Man, I really enjoyed her back when I was still playing Ultimate. What I love is that in this and Melee, she has such a wide array of useful moves. Even if they aren't the best on their own, a balanced playstyle with her feels more cerebral and creative than lots of other characters. Players like HugS make her look like she's in a Street Fighter game than a Smash Bros game because of careful movement and pokes and traps and combos that aren't easy but are truly beautiful to witness.
    I just love the idea of "let me drop this bomb to get you to jump into my nair so I can screw up your recovery with missiles so that when you land I can charge shot you and if you still don't die I'll fake the off stage nair, force you to jump early, jump to you and up air you before you can grab the ledge etc etc"

    Been playing Samus since melee. I've never really watched much on her gameplay but this exactly explains how I felt was the best way to play. When I didn't care or was tired, sure, zoning and camping was fine, but she can fill this spot with semi-aggressive play that no other character can!

      Because if you play one-dimensionally like that, it means you're becoming predictable, which means you're always gonna struggle in your bad matchups. There's times to rush in and times to hang back, and it's simple advice, but the best players know when to flip the switch.

    @justicetaylor2695 5 лет назад

    I think I already play like this as a series wide Samus main. But I don't use b reversals or pivot grabs. As plausible as it is to pull them off consistently with practice, the online lag I play under leaves me to favor moves that take a lot less skill and function consistently under lag.
    I love opening a fully charged shot off onto an opponent who just spawned and picks a wrong ground option as a I jump back and forth above them unpredictably. This usually leads into closing the damage gap between us whilst I'm still a stock ahead.
    And I do the repeating loops of damage at the ledge too where any bomb to grab or other string that works is repeated basically as many times as my enemy falls for it.

    That's kind of why I never check tier lists: in the early days of smash 4, Yoshi was pretty low on everyone's tier list, while I kept arguing with people why he should be in top B at least.
    One year later, he pops exactly there in tierlists.
    Then I started maining Samus in Smash 4 as well, I had the same oppinion on her; and that opinion was still true when Smash Ultimate came out.
    and now... that. I just feel like everyone is focusing too much on the frame data rather than the character's potential. It kind of rub me the wrong way whenever you see someone sound suprised to see a "Low tier" sudently seem better than they expected.

    Remember when people thought Samus was garbage just because her dash attack wasn't a combo starter?
    I started maining Samus in the last month of Smash 4 before Ultimate came. I remember telling my friends that Samus felt a lot better overall in Ultimate (midair charging, better damage, consistent combos) but everyone was like "lol naw. Bad dash attack, bad character."

      @@imjustbawn jokers samus is more neutral based and he knows how to keep consistent using samuses momentum in advantage. quik uses samus a bit different in neutral and uses tricky movement and walls to condition his opponent. he also has better ledge trapping than joker. plus quik has different ways of using samuses laggy ledge options to come back to stage. usually when jokers in disadvantage he stays for awhile while quik gets out easier bc of his movement. overall though joker has placed 2nd and actuaclly won one tourney and quik has placed 2nd at majority of the tourneys hes gone to. so i think in terms of results joker has it but im a samus main myself and i can say i only learned a tiny bit from joker and everything ive learned from quik has better usage than joker. but theyre both super od so it doesnt matter

    I assume almost all of this applies to Dork Samus too? As far as I know the only differences are in dodge timings and Dirk Samus floating a couple inches higher off of the ground, making her a slightly larger grounded target.

    • @ayar2
      @ayar2 4 года назад

      minimal differences aside, they can use the same playstyle, if anything I can say Samus is ideal against bigger targets (she herself shrinks her hurtboxes in midair jumps and rolls) while Dark Samus is ideal against smaller targets (due to the lower angle she fires her Charge Shot)
