'''Samus''' ({{ja|サムス|Samusu}}, ''Samus'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. Her return to the series was confirmed in the [[E3 2013]] trailers on June 11th, 2013, while she was also among the first wave of [[amiibo]] figures that are compatible with ''SSB4''. However, unlike in ''Brawl'', Samus is no longer capable of transitioning into {{SSB4|Zero Suit Samus}}, as she is now a standalone character. | '''Samus''' ({{ja|サムス|Samusu}}, ''Samus'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.

the [[tier list]] (tied with {{SSB4|Robin}}), placing her at the bottom of D tier and middle of mid tier. This is a moderate improvement over her bottom-tier placement in ''Brawl'', where she was ranked 32nd out of 38. Samus possesses a good amount of projectiles: Her[[Charge Shot]], [[Missile]] and [[Bomb (Samus)|Bomb]], all of which grant her strong zoning potential alongside her [[Grapple Beam]]. Charge Shot also functions as a fearsome KOing option and a strong [[punish]]ing option in many situations due to its high damage output and excellent knockback, while her Bomb and Grapple Beam can aid her recovery, and she has an above average damage output as well. Samus also possesses a great air game: her neutral aerial and sweetspotted back aerial are among the strongest of their type, while her forward and up aerials deal impressive damage and have good follow-up potential, allowing for powerful and highly damaging combos when she finds or sets up an opening, which is further supplemented by set-ups in the form of her dash attack, up tilt, down aerial, down throw and Grapple Beam. | |||
However, Samus' moveset forces her to be reliant on defensive [[spacing]] to keep opponents at bay. Except for her down tilt, all of her moves are generally less effective at point-blank range, while they also render her prone to trading hits with opponents even at mid-range. When combined with her floatiness and average mobility, these traits can make it difficult for Samus to escape from [[Juggle|juggling]] and other problematic situations. | However, Samus' moveset forces her to be reliant on defensive [[spacing]] to keep opponents at bay.
