I am a hardcore Samus player and my least favorite opponents were always Marth or Roy (not necessarily toughest but definatley least favorite)

You better not be too good with Ike, Im gonna hate it if people start to kick my ass with him! 

Samus FTW 

I just noticed this post.  Ditto that exactly for me.

What were your 2nd/3rd favorite characters in Melee DonWii?

I know you didn't ask me but i'll tell you anyway.

Mine were Mewtwo (I think I am the only person he is really good with Mewtwo, I really hope they bring him back)

Then pikacho, or Shiek, I was a beast with them as well.

But Samus is where I really shine.

Mewtwo is better than most people give him credit for I think.  Good range but low priority.

Zelda/Shield are in my top 3.  Zelda's kick and Shiek's chop are freakish.  That and Shiek goes crazy fast.

Pikachu and Samus are okay.  

Samus, only okay?? In the right hands, Samus is freakin unstoppable.

You knocked me all the way to a bottom corner of the screen, seemingly impossible to survive from? Nope! Just bomb jump my way back up!

You're on the bottom of the Corneria stage, and I'm up higher, seemingly out of range? Nope! I'll just use my extended homing grapple beam!

I love the extras they gave Samus in Melee hehe.

I'd pit my Marth against your Samus any day really.  When Brawl comes out, we may just do that (of course switch Marth to Meta Knight...).

I was awesome with Marth...but I was also really good with Samus and Ganondorf. Ganondorf was slow, but not too slow to lay the smack down on people with a vengeance. I hope they bring him back and actually give him a sword. Imagine him versus Ike, two massive sword wielding freaks of nature. Speaking of Ike, I get the distinct feeling I'll be using him.

Favorite thing to do in that game is turn the items off, go up against a few max level bowsers on Hyrule Temple, and see how bad I can ricochet them off the walls, I got a single combo doing that one time that brought a bowser up to like 700 damage because I kept bouncing him off the ceiling and just bouncing up and down won't kill him if you're in the cave part. ^_^

Actually, I did better as Marth sometimes. Trust me, I know how good Marth is...all my friends call him the cheater character.

I've got all the Samus moves figured out though...we shall brawl online February 10th!

Well...more like 11th because I'll definitely be playing the hell out of single player to unlock characters like NESS.

Ditto mostly.  You'll have Samus' moves "Primed" and ready for the most part.  I'll have to check out Meta Knight and see how he turns out.
