Move Breakdown

Neutral

Samus performing the move Charge Shot.

Charge Shot

Charges up a projectile while on the ground or in midair. Can keep the charge after dodging or shielding.

Excellent kill option when fully charged, and can be deadly to shields when combined with a missile or another attack. Forward tilt combos very well.

Side

Samus performing the move Missile.

Missile

Launches a homing missile. Flicking rather than tilting the control stick launches a Super Missile.

The homing missile can be great for catching recoveries or forcing air dodges, while the Super Missile deals more damage and knock back and generally combos better.

Up

Samus performing the move Screw Attack.

Screw Attack

Hits opponents several times while spinning up into the air.

A quick startup makes it a good out-of-shield option. The aerial version gains distance slower, but is a good kill option near the upper blast line.

Down

Samus performing the move Bomb.

Bomb

Drops a bomb in Morph Ball form. Flies upward if hit by the explosion.

Can be used to force an opponent to shield, for spacing, to edge guard, for recovery, or to break shields when combined with a full Charge Shot.
