Darell seems like one of those REALLY smart players that just fall apart against super fast, technical players. Probably better off as a coach than an actual player.

Maybe that's just Samus players in general. All samus players seem really smart but you don't see them do well in tourney... :(

hahahaha these 2 play again at this tourney pretty intense

[Lovage805]

after the first kill zhu walked up to me a whispered into my ear, in his asian voice "SO SMOOV"

[PrinceShion]

When they stopped the commentary for a sec I remembered how damn loud Dreamland was.

@m4dm4n135 don't think anyone said he was bad?

"breif intermission"

[nahor88]

Samus is the only character (besides Marth) who I can play well now in Melee, after switching to Brawl +, simply cuz of her fighting style. Slower, heavily reliant on spacing and projectiles.

[ilovenuts]

I don't play SF.

I see what you're trying to say... yes d-smash and up-b are good options for defending against hyperaggressive opponents, they are pretty much her only options, and they are relatively slow and risky. Samus' grab sucks, so she can't shield grab effectively, if her up-b misses she gets punished with up-air, and trying to drop your shield and dsmash would be countered by a shine.

I'm not saying Samus can't handle pressure, just she's setup for spacing.

[SuperSiegeBros]

Samus actually can destroy people who try to pressure her. The matchup is basically like playing Ryu in SF4. If they approach from the air you can space your heavy kick (Nair) you can Hadouken camp (Missle) and if they give you too much shield pressure you can Shoryuken or Hurricane Kick out (Up-B, Down Smash). You do have to give yourself space, but when they get in all hope isn't lost. Samus is one of the only characters that's extremely zoning inclined in Melee.
