Samus' moveset is defensive, as she uses her projectiles to space, rack up damage from a distance and pressure shields. [[Charge Shot]] is her most consistent KOing option out of her special moves, courtesy of its increased speed and power. [[Missile]] is mostly used for spacing, due to neither its Homing or Super variants possessing reliable KO potential, while [[Bomb (Samus)|Bomb]] gives Samus various mix-ups and can aid her recovery. However, Missile and Bomb also possess valuable utility, in that they can guarantee a shield break when used in conjunction with a sufficiently charged Charge Shot or a sweetspotted back aerial. Lastly, [[Screw Attack]] is a decent out of shield option, a KOing option near the upper blast line and a viable combo finisher from aerial combo strings. Combined with rage, it can KO very early. | Samus' moveset is defensive, as she uses her projectiles to space, rack up damage from a distance and pressure shields.

Her back aerial is one of her best moves courtesy of its power, damage output, speed and range. Her down aerial can be a powerful meteor smash, forward aerial is a good pressuring tool due to its long duration, and up aerial is an excellent combo option. Lastly, her neutral aerial is a viable KOing option as of update 1.1.5. When coupled with her high jumps, Samus' air game is also potent while she is off-stage, as she can recover from nearly anywhere on the stage, stay in position for longer periods of time due to her floatiness, or bait the opponent by stalling in the air and punishing edge-guard attempts. | ||
Samus' grab game is also somewhat useful, as her [[Grapple Beam]] has impressive range, doubles as a [[tether recovery]] (with its range as such having been increased since ''Brawl'') and is a capable spacing tool when used as a [[grab aerial]]. However, it still possesses considerable ending lag despite it having been reduced since ''Brawl'' and updates [[1.0.8]] and [[1.1.5]]. Down throw is very useful for starting combos that deal respectable damage and can be used with her neutral, forward and up aerials at varying percentages. Many of her combos can rack up more than 30% and when using platforms to her advantage, or string together multiple times and then be finished with Screw Attack, leading to a KO or dealing 40%-50% at the very least. Lastly, her pummel is tied with {{SSB4|Lucario}}'s as the fastest in the game, although it is also the least damaging one. | Samus' grab game is also somewhat useful, as her [[Grapple Beam]] has impressive range, doubles as a [[tether recovery]] (with its range as such having been increased since ''Brawl'') and is a capable spacing tool when used as a [[grab aerial]].
