In ''[http://supersmashbros.wikia.com/wiki/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl Brawl]'', after firing the beam, Samus' Power Suit is "damaged" and falls off of Samus' body, transforming her into [[Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|Zero Suit Samus]]. |

||
| − | After the beam has been fired and the Power Suit removed, the [[Power Suit Piece|damaged pieces]] of the suit can be picked up and thrown as items by any player. The items have very high knockback and decent damage, but, like any other item, they also can be picked up by opponents and thrown back at Zero Suit Samus or others. |
||
| + | Samus initiates Zero Laser by charging her Arm Cannon in front of her before releasing a massive beam of energy, with its range being the length of Final Destination if Zero Laser is used from the furthest side. If opponents get caught in the blast, they will be dragged back while taking damage for four seconds before Samus unleashes a stronger blast, which knocks opponents horizontally. Zero Laser also possesses a vacuum effect, with opponents behind Samus or above her being vulnerable to be caught into the attack. Zero Laser can also be angled slightly by tilting up or down. While its KO potential is weaker in comparison to other Final Smashes, its massive range and vacuum effect make it a difficult Final Smash to escape from. |
||
| + | In ''Brawl'', Zero Laser would force Samus to transform into Zero Suit Samus, with the damaged pieces of the Power Suit being capable of being used as items as well, with the transformation being one of the three ways in which Samus could transform into Zero Suit Samus. |

| − | This Final Smash has a range of stretching about the distance across the thickest part of [[New Pork City]]. The Zero Laser also passes through absolutely everything, including the stage itself. |
||
| + | In ''SSBWU/3DS'', Zero Laser no longer transforms Samus into Zero Suit Samus due to the separation of the two characters. It also has faster startup and more range at the expense of less damage. Visually, Zero Laser expands when used as opposed to thinning as in ''Brawl'', and it possesses more aesthetic features. |
||
| − | The Zero Laser lasts about a total of 4 seconds. The move's damage varies from source, but depending on the time the opponent remains in the laser, it can do from 40-78% damage. While not necessarily a [[one-hit KO]], if used near the edge of a stage the laser can push opponents past the blast line, or close enough that the final burst from the Laser will do so, regardless of damage. It's nearly impossible to survive with more than 30% damage regardless of where you are when hit by it. |

| − | While Samus is using the attack, all nearby enemies behind her (as well as some items) will be [[Vacuum|pulled toward her]] and into the line of fire, if close enough. Also if enemies fall on top of the laser they too will be pulled into the attack. |

||
| − | The Zero Laser can also be angled slightly up or slightly down by tilting the control stick in the desired direction, though this does not have much of an effect on the laser's area of effect and cannot be moved above approximately a 30 degree angle. Also, due to its time span it's user isn't really able to change direction effectively. |
||
| + | In ''Ultimate'', Zero Suit Samus received a new Final Smash that shares the name with her normal counterpart, though her version functions similarly to Aura Storm albeit with similar visual effects of Zero Laser. In her version, she jumps into her Gunship in the background of the stage and dons her Power Suit. Afterwards, she is able to target an area of the stage with a reticle. After some time or when the attack button is pressed, she will fire a long-lasting beam directly at that area, dealing a high amount of damage before firing a stronger blast. |

| − | |||
| − | The transformation into Zero Suit Samus takes quite a while, and thus is easily punished. Even if you manage to KO everyone, there's usually enough time for that player to come back to life and get into position to attack just as the transformation finishes. So it may be better to fire it far above the ground, making the opponents harder to punish her. It is also possible, if the opponent is close enough to Samus when the move is initiated, for the opponent to jump over Samus using an Up-Special or, for some characters, a jump AND an Up-Special, or multiple jumps (which is enough to clear the top of the Zero Laser if Samus is on the same surface as the opponent) and then land directly behind Samus, avoiding the move but also allowing them to attack Samus as soon as the laser stops. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Finishing the Final Smash in mid-air does not put Samus (or rather, Zero Suit Samus) into a [[helpless]] state, however she will fall for quite some time until all her suit pieces fall off. If she is not above a platform, this is enough to KO her on almost every stage other than [[New Pork City]], [[Temple]], or some custom stages, and even then she might survive only if high enough to at least reach with Zero Suit's Tether once she can move. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Since the move doesn't engulf the entire screen and only a horizontal strip, some prefer to jump and then use the Zero Laser to maximize its area of effect. The reasoning behind this is that a shot fired on the ground will KO characters who are standing on the ground, but a shot that's fired even a short range above the ground will hit characters who are on the ground and characters who are a bit higher or trying to be able to stay above its range. |

Zero Laser is Samus' Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and Smash Bros. Ultimate and Zero Suit Samus' Final Smash in Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Overview
Samus
Samus initiates Zero Laser by charging her Arm Cannon in front of her before releasing a massive beam of energy, with its range being the length of Final Destination if Zero Laser is used from the furthest side. If opponents get caught in the blast, they will be dragged back while taking damage for four seconds before Samus unleashes a stronger blast, which knocks opponents horizontally. Zero Laser also possesses a vacuum effect, with opponents behind Samus or above her being vulnerable to be caught into the attack. Zero Laser can also be angled slightly by tilting up or down. While its KO potential is weaker in comparison to other Final Smashes, its massive range and vacuum effect make it a difficult Final Smash to escape from.
In Brawl, Zero Laser would force Samus to transform into Zero Suit Samus, with the damaged pieces of the Power Suit being capable of being used as items as well, with the transformation being one of the three ways in which Samus could transform into Zero Suit Samus.
In SSBWU/3DS, Zero Laser no longer transforms Samus into Zero Suit Samus due to the separation of the two characters. It also has faster startup and more range at the expense of less damage. Visually, Zero Laser expands when used as opposed to thinning as in Brawl, and it possesses more aesthetic features.
In Ultimate, when using Zero Laser the jets of the Power Suit will open behind Samus, venting flames and dealing damage to opponents behind her. Samus's Echo Fighter Dark Samus possesses a Final Smash called Phazon Laser, which functions identically to Zero Laser.
Zero Suit Samus
In Ultimate, Zero Suit Samus received a new Final Smash that shares the name with her normal counterpart, though her version functions similarly to Aura Storm albeit with similar visual effects of Zero Laser. In her version, she jumps into her Gunship in the background of the stage and dons her Power Suit. Afterwards, she is able to target an area of the stage with a reticle. After some time or when the attack button is pressed, she will fire a long-lasting beam directly at that area, dealing a high amount of damage before firing a stronger blast.
Origin
The move is unique to Brawl, SSB4 and SSBU, and is the first to display Samus using the beam.
Originally, Samus's Power Suit is somehow lost in a crash when her starship is shot down in Metroid: Zero Mission, not involving any type of beam on her part.
The corrupted bounty hunter Gandrayda can use a move nearly identical to the Zero Laser when mimicking Samus' form in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, though, due to the game's release date, this is likely a coincidence or possibly a reference to Brawl instead. Also in Metroid Prime 3, Samus could access Hyper Mode, during which her charge beam move is strikingly similar to the Zero Laser, though this beam actually consists of two beams intertwined and rapidly fires streams of Phazon beams instead of one massive beam.
The Zero Laser may also have been inspired by the Hyper Beam, an extremely powerful attack used against Mother Brain at the end of Super Metroid, though their appearances differ, as well as the Hyper Beam having no known detrimental effects.
Glitches
- A glitch can be performed with this Final Smash that makes it so Samus doesn't transform to Zero Suit Samus. Performing it is the same as performing the Puff Up, Diffusion Beam, and Golden Glitches: play on Bridge of Eldin (or any stage with reforming terrain; this does not include custom stage Drop Blocks) and, when the bridge in the middle is repairing itself, go between the ledges, activate the Final Smash so that when the bridge is whole again, Samus will pop back onto the bridge without transforming, much like when how a character normally does when caught in the bridge's reformation.
- It should also be noted that Pit's Mirror Shield, when tilted upwards, can negate all but the final blast of this Final Smash. Whether this is really a glitch or not is unknown.
Trophy Description
Zero Laser (SSBB)
Samus's Final Smash. The beam emerging from her Arm Cannon is dreadfully powerful and causes great damage to enemies. The beam travels slowly but can be swept up and down. The recoil of the beam is so great that it tears off her Power Suit, revealing Zero Suit Samus. The pieces of her armor can be picked up and thrown as weapons.
Zero Laser (SSBWU/3DS)
Samus unleashes a massive, long-range beam from her Arm Cannon as her Final Smash. Fighters on the edges of the beam will be drawn in, taking more and more damage. The sheer power of this weapon makes it tough to aim once it's firing, but it's possible to adjust the beam up and down.
In Samus's Final Smash, she unleashes a huge laser beam from her Arm Cannon that draws opponents to the centre of the beam. Quite handy, since the closer they are to the centre, the more damage they'll take! You can also angle it up and down (albeit slowly), letting you catch more of your enemies and create more havoc.
