I think the effect on dark Samus fair and upsmash are called aura. It’s similar to the difference between holy water with Simon and Richter. I haven’t tested myself, but the aura attack increase spirit should confirm if this is the case (as long the fire attack spirit works the same with regular Samus fair and upsmash)
The roll is better for Dark Samus because you already have s on both rolls so being smaller doesn't matter unless you mash/stale your roll. The 3 extra frames means also means that your roll is even easier to react to and hit afterwards. I go Dark Samus in certain matchups like you said. One that was not mentioned was Link matchup. You don't have to worry about triggering remote bomb on accident. As well as the charge shot going lower so do the missiles for Dark Samus. Nice video.
Yeah Dark Samus roll, is generally better. I think Samus' sometimes had an edge versus an air born opponent though because publishing the smaller hurtbox from the air is harder.
Generally these “Dark” versions are food for ledge grabbing and other things that the standard version struggle. Sadly you can’t just pick one character that does all; that there are two versions of the same character. For instance, Fox, Wolf and Falco. Maybe Ness and Lucas.
Electric/fire does nothing for hitstun, Dark Samus’ moves being electric is common knowledge (not something that “might” be the case), Dark Samus’ roll is known to be better than Samus’ roll due to being faster, its animation doesn’t matter at all as that doesn’t affect its i-frames. I get that UA-cam is a grind but it really does feel like so little research went into producing this. Meh
I think that samus is better because I have gone against my friend when he is zelda and I have beaten him more and the colours are better and I have a better grip with her but I think dark samus is soooooooo cool but other people might have different idea to me and that is fine
Really appreciate the tips. I've been wondering why sometimes I feel better against some characters with Samus and sometimes better with Dark Samus.
No problem my guy, glad I could help :)

Nice video.
With the charge shot being lower you can hit more people hanging off of the ledge

There's weird sliding mechanic stuff as well. CS -> slingshot bair/ d-throw -> slingshot bair is better for Samus than DS b/c Samus slides more

I don't think the fire/electric affects hitstun. Where it make a difference is vs snake, cause fire explodes the grenades.
