| − | '''Samus''' ({{ja|サムス}}, ''Samusu'') is a character appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Unveiled at [[E3]] 2006, Samus's [[Final Smash]] attack results in her Power Suit being damaged and removed, transforming her into [[Zero Suit Samus]]. She is able to turn back into her Power Suit when Zero Suit Samus uses her Final Smash. [http://www.destructoid.com/hands-on-with-super-smash-bros-brawl-48983.phtml]. After the attack, the [[Power Suit Piece|damaged parts]] of her power suit can be thrown as weapons. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Pros and Cons== |
||
| − | ===Pros:=== |
||
| − | *Multiple useful projectiles. Her [[Charge Shot]] and [[Missile|Super Missiles]] are some of the most powerful projectiles in the game, and her Homing missiles are extremely useful. |
||
| − | *Can missile-cancel |
||
| − | *Down Aerial is a powerful spike |
||
| − | *Down Smash is quick and powerful |
||
| − | *Back Aerial still a good finisher, and Down Tilt is an even better one |
||
| − | *Forward, Neutral, and Up Aerials and Up Smash are quick and have high priority |
||
| − | *Bomb Jumping gives great horizontal recovery and small vertical recovery |
||
| − | *[[Tether Recovery]] option with [[Grapple Beam]] |
||
| − | *She is very heavy. Combined with great recovery options and lack of a huge target for her weight, Samus is one of the hardest characters to KO. |
||
| − | *Jab is quick, has a large [[hitbox]], even hitting behind Samus, and clanks with most moves. |
||
| − | *Aerial tether has incredible range, decent stun, and no landing lag. (A technique known as [[Grapple Canceling]] or Grapple Boxing) |
||
| − | *Charge shot from a perfect shield block has guaranteed damage. |
||
| − | *Lots of combo options. |
||
| − | *If the situation requires it, the player can transform into Zero Suit Samus by using her up & down taunts. |
||
| − | *Despite being a heavy-weight, her attacks are very quick. |
||
| − | *Can wall jump |
||
| − | *With her [[Samus Aran's Bomb|Bomb]] and multiple recovery options she is one of the best Guard Breakers. |
||
| − | *Bomb is very useful for mindgames. |
||
| − | *Has almost no landing lag on Aerials. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Cons:=== |
||
| − | *Quick, high priority moves have low [[knockback]] and damage |
||
| − | *Grab is slow if it misses |
||
| − | *Large Target |
||
| − | *Powerful moves are on the slow side, making it hard for Samus to score quick kills |
||
| − | *Slow rolling |
||
| − | *Can be juggled in the air due to being floaty |
||
| − | *A forced change in play style if [[Final Smash]] is used. |
||
| − | *Taunting to change into Zero Suit Samus is relatively hard to pull off correctly. (if using gamecube controller, mashing up and down on the D-pad usually works) |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' to ''Brawl''== |
||
| − | * Side Special changed in appearance. |
||
| − | * Super missiles do vertical knockback. |
||
| − | * Screw Attack traps opponents (as in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''). |
||
| − | * "Bomb jumping" is less effective. |
||
| − | * Less knockback on neutral aerial |
||
| − | * Down Tilt more powerful |
||
| − | * Bombs no longer explode on enemy contact |
||
| − | * Can't perform moves out of Morph Ball form after bomb jumping |
||
| − | * Slightly slower |
||
| − | * [[Missile]]s home-in better |
||
| − | * [[Charge Shot]] does slightly more damage, but has a fraction of its original knockback |
||
| − | * Standard Special has less range |
||
| − | * Grapple beam has less range and she can't extend it by pressing "up" and "down" on the Control Pad when pressing "Z". |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Role in ''Subspace Emissary''== |
||
| − | Samus first infiltrates the base of the Subspace Army without her Power Suit. Along the way, she finds a captured [[Pikachu (SSBB)|Pikachu]], which she frees. After fighting off two Shadowbug clones of her Power Armor, Samus reacquires her Power Suit with the help of Pikachu. Soon afterwards, the duo are brutally attacked by [[Ridley]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Samus and Pikachu both survive their encounter and continue to investigate the base while under Red Alert. After much exploring, they come upon the mysterious [[Ancient Minister]] inside a storeroom with many unarmed bombs guarded by inactivate R.O.B.s. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Later, [[Captain Falcon (SSBB)|Captain Falcon]], [[Olimar (SSBB)|Olimar]], [[Donkey Kong (SSBB)|Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong (SSBB)|Diddy Kong]] break into the storeroom through another door, confronting the Ancient Minister. Then [[Ganondorf (SSBB)|Ganondorf's]] hologram appears and orders the R.O.B. army to detonate the Subspace Bombs. When the Ancient Minister attempts to stop them, Ganondorf overrides their systems, taking control of them and ordering them to attack the leader. The group attempt to stop the R.O.B.s from detonating the bombs, so Ganondorf sends in reinforcements to deal with them. Then, the Ancient Minister shots down the reinforcements, shedding his clothes to reveal [[R.O.B.]], the leader of the R.O.B.s and allies himself with Samus and her team. After the battle with the reinforcements, Samus and the others make their way to Captain Falcon's Falcon Flyer in which she and the others have her rematch with Ridley, now [[Meta Ridley]]. After the Space Pirate is defeated, the Falcon Flyer barely manages to escape the Subspace blast of the floating island. |
