Zero Suit Samus (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)


 * ''This article is about Zero Suit Samus' appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Zero Suit Samus.  Also, for information about the result of Zero Suit Samus using her Final Smash attack, see Samus Aran.

Zero Suit Samus (, Zero Sūtsu Samusu), often abbreviated as ZSS, 0SS or Zamus, is a character appearing in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Zero Suit Samus lacks power and stamina compared to Samus, but is faster. She uses a gun known as the Paralyzer, which can also be converted into a Plasma Whip. Her whip can be used to recover, similar to Samus' Grapple Beam or Link and Young Link's Hookshot.

Based on the most recently released trailer for SSBB, Zero Suit Samus will be most comparable to Sheik. She appears to be able to jump much higher in relation to Sheik, however. Her dash attack in the trailer appeared to be comparable to Fox's in SSBM. It was also seen that Zero Suit Samus will be able to change from Paralyzer to Plasma Whip at will.

The impact from Samus' Final Smash is enough to remove her Power Suit, transforming her into Zero Suit Samus. It is unknown whether this transformation can take place without performing Samus' Final Smash. Zero Suit Samus is able to transform back into normal Samus by using her Final Smash which causes her to get her suit back while emitting some sort of energy. 

Based on the historical evidence of items being addressed in competitive play, it is possible that Zero Suit Samus will not be tournament legal if she cannot be accessed from the character select screen. The only way to access Zero Suit Samus is presumed to be through the use of Samus' Final Smash, and if items continue to be outlawed in tournament play, she would be unable to grab a Smash Ball to undergo the transformation.

Role in Subspace Emissary
Although not much is known what Samus role will play, she is seen in one of the screenshots on the update.
