Zeroing in on Zero Suit Samus

Zeroing in on Zero Suit Samus

The guide is overall organized well, but there is a lot of glaring misinformation that can lead potential ZSS players down bad paths. ZSS's grab game being weak? battlefield is bad for her? no. Also, you give descriptions of the moves, but no opinion on usage, making the majority of the info not really useful. This guide could be good if these major errors would fixed. There is also a lot of info missing (down B spiking, etc.) you also do not give much combo information. Her combos are what make her deadly. Overall this guide has potential, but there are so many glaring issues it's hard for me to give it a higher score.
It was alright, you should go over how down b can spike and you put "By far her worst throw, maybe even her best move." in the description for her up throw which doesn't make any sense
A very solid guide, no doubt. Cleanly laid out with an enjoyable tone that allows newer and more experienced players to read through the guide without too much of a hassle. However, there are some things that could be changed in terms of information. From things like the usage of her Nair and the inaccurate description of her grab game (it's not as bad as it looks and there's definitely viability to learning and utilizing it) little bits like that can help.
"Shes hot"
It's a pretty good guide, alright, but sloppy mistakes in formatting and misinformation like "Quicker than Marth" on Lucina keeps it from getting a higher score.
This is a pretty good guide, I'm interested in Using ZSS sometime in the near future. This was pretty informative, I just have to practice with her now.
The only things left are combos, zair and how the moves works (you basically copy-pasted SmashWiki), otherwise it is very informational and well-done

I did notice a few things though:
- Doc is slower than Mario, write that up
- Wii Fit Trainer's name is within the spoiler
- Dark Pit's arrows are more awkward to control, but deal more knockback. Yet, you copy-pasted Pit's matchup
its pretty good
excellent guide! short question, what custom moves do you think could work with ZSS? for example: I believe there is a side-B which pulls people in for new combo's..
maybe this could be a nice addition to the guide? anyways very informative guide.
10 out of 10 would read again

Great guide! Super descriptive and it really help a beginner like me get some more knowledge on how to play her.
Really good and in-depth, I felt certain sections could have used more attention, like more scenarios for combo setups, but it gives you everything you need to know about Z-Samus and her kit, along with weaknesses. GJ m8
Pretty good. I totally disagree with you on N-air. You also forgot to mention Z-airs uses. Also back throw ing someone off the stage can lead to unexpected spikes.
That was really detailed, this will do great for my game, thx :D
Very in-depth and detailed. Breaks down each move and it's uses. Especially helpful are the overall strategy and matchup sections. The best Zero Suit Samus guide I've ever read.
Definitely an informative guide to ZSS. As a ZSS player myself I can even say I did some of these even before this guide but it did give me insight into using the Paralyzer more and dash attacking less.

Overall I'd say a pretty basic and thorough explanation into ZSS for those interested in her or those who already use her.
Interesting guide. I actually never saw her as an aerial fighter haha.

Stuff like calling her a goddess and hot in a gameplay guide of the character kind of drags down the quality of your guide, though.

I can understand your option on that. But I think it gives it a bit of character
Just a heads up, but you may want to go back over the grab section; you copy-pasted the pummel description over "grab", for example.

All in all, good guide though!
Any chance of adding the other custom specials as well?

Good catch, it has been fixed! Ty!

Most likely not custom specials, or at least not for a while. I don't really use the customization options as I mainly play For Glory and in tournaments. Not that I won't do it, but its not in the current plan or something I know much about

My focus is mainly going to be getting pictures/gifs up and running to show the moves, frames and distances. As well as adding to the Match Up section.
Great guide, have just tried some of these moves/ matchups and ZSS is really effective, and really hot lol
