Samus vs Incineroar
When facing Incineroar as Samus, utilize your aerials, particularly your forward aerial, to counter his approaches and maintain control of the air. Use bombs strategically when landing to prevent Incineroar from capitalizing with up airs, and don't hesitate to be aggressive while edge guarding since his recovery options can be predictable. Be cautious of his Revenge mechanic; bait it out to land a powerful charge shot, and if he shields, a well-timed grab can neutralize the threat. Incorporate D-throw into your combos at low percentages to extend your advantage, while keeping an eye on his spacing to avoid getting caught by his f-tilt.
Tips for Samus vs Incineroar
- Fair cancel out most of the aerial approaches incineroar will try
- Grabs are great, because you won't get as punished in the end lag because Incineroar is slow
- Bombs are great to use when landing, otherwise Incineroar will shark you with up airs
- Baiting revenges can net you a free charge shot, which can obviously be very powerful
- Don't be afraid to be aggressive when edge guarding Incineroar, because sometimes he needs to be predictable, since he only has Alolan Whip and Cross Chop. Both of these moves have armor though.
