Samus vs Incineroar
Matchup Tips and Strategies
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.
