'''Samus''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. In ''Project M'', her attributes have been restored to how they were in ''Melee'', alongside considerable buffs and a slightly altered moveset that is accessible via her side taunt.

Samus ranks 27th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], near the top of the C tier. This placement is significantly lower than her ''Melee'' placement, where she is ranked 10th out of 26, however slightly higher than her ''Brawl'' placement, at 32nd out of 38.

==Attributes==
Samus is a heavy fighter who is unusually floaty, a characteristic defying those of her weight class. She utilizes a unique array of powerful projectiles in her arsenal, including [[Charge Shot]] beams, [[missile]]s, and [[bomb]]s. Additionally, new to Samus's ''Project M'' iteration, using her side taunt allows her to switch between either fire and ice elements (with the former being default). This mechanic changes the elements of her forward smash, forward air, up smash, down tilt, and missiles (unusually, it does not change the element for her bombs), which allows Samus to utilize a new set of skills that players are able to use in strategic methods.

Samus does have her flaws, however. Despite being a heavyweight, Samus's vertical endurance is slightly below average due to her very slow falling speed (having the worst vertical endurance of the heavyweights); it also causes her to be easily juggled. Additionally, despite being floaty, Samus's recovery is below average should a few elements be absent, due to a relatively low air speed. Also, her recovery move, [[Screw Attack]], offers very little horizontal and vertical distance (with the former especially occurring should Samus not gain any prior momentum, similar to {{SSBB|Link}}'s [[Spin Attack]] from ''Brawl''). Samus can, however, improve her recovery by using both her [[bomb recovery]] technique and grappling beam for a [[tether recovery]] in conjunction.

In addition, she has a below average aerial approach due to her low air and falling speed, resulting in Samus receiving a poor [[Short hop fast fall l-cancel|SHFFL]], despite her aerials generally having little to no endlag in her aerial attacks.

==Changes from ''Brawl'' to PM==
Samus has received new tools in ''Project M'', notably [[crawl]]ing, the addition of ice beam, and the ability to charge the [[Charge Shot]] while airborne.

===Aesthetics===
*{{change|While most characters in ''Project M'' keep their ''Brawl'' voices and sounds, Samus uses SFXs from ''Melee'' for her jumps, Charge Shot, Missiles and [[Screw Attack]].}}
*{{change|Up [[taunt]] replaced with her ''Melee'' taunt.}}

===Attributes===
*{{buff|Can now [[crawl]] via Morph Ball like her previous roll animation, giving her a drastically smaller hurtbox, and has gained a new crawl attack based off of the Boost Ball from ''Metroid Prime''. In addition, Samus remains in Morph Ball mode when she stops crawling while the crouching button is held.}}
*{{buff|[[Super wavedash]] timing window increased from one [[frame]] to two frames.}}
*{{buff|[[Rolling]] animation is significantly faster, and it has been changed to a conventional side-step animation.}}
*{{buff|Can now swap between flame and ice beam types with side taunt; this affects her down tilt, forward smash, forward aerial, up smash, and [[Missile]]s. [[Taunt canceling]] this will still result in a beam switch. In addition, holding side taunt during her on-screen appearance will have Samus start with the ice beam. This gives Samus a new repertoire of altered attacks to work with, allowing players to be more creative in their styles.}}

===Ground Attacks===
*{{change|Forward smash now has a flame effect, akin to ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''.}}

===Grabs and Throws===
*{{buff|[[Grapple Beam]] has faster start-up and ending lag, similar to {{PM|Link}}'s Clawshot. Dash grab's range has been increased to match standing grab.}}
*{{nerf|Standing Grapple Beam has shorter reach.}}
*{{nerf|Can no longer use the [[extended grapple]].}}

===Special Attacks===
*{{buff|[[Charge Shot]] can now be charged while airborne.}}
*{{buff|Changing to Zero Suit Samus via {{b|Zero Laser|Samus}} now requires holding the special button as the laser fires.}}

==Changes from PM to P+==

===Aesthetics===
*{{change|Samus' design is now a combination of her design seen in ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid: Samus Returns''.}}

==Revisions==
===v3.01===
*{{buff|Samus can drift properly after an aerial Charge Shot.}}

===v3.5===
*{{buff|Ice forward smash now freezes characters hit by the second hit.}}
*{{nerf|Fire up smash has smaller hitboxes and the final hit has reduced knockback.}}
*{{nerf|Fire forward air's final hit knockback reduced to match Melee Samus.}}
*{{nerf|Ice forward air [[autocancel]]s later, and has a later [[IASA]] window.}}
*{{nerf|Bombs no longer damage opponents through shields.}}
**{{buff|They now deal more damage.}}
*{{nerf|Tether ledge grab range reduced. Additionally, the tether attaches to the ledge later.}}
*{{nerf|Zair knockback reduced.}}
*{{change|Up air now uses linking hitbox stats from Melee Samus.}}
===v3.6===
Beta
*{{buff|Samus can now start a match in ice mode by holding the side taunt on entry.}}

Full
*{{buff|Players can now hold the B button to become {{PM|Zero Suit Samus}} when using Zero Laser.}}

==Moveset==

{|class="wikitable"
! colspan=2| !!Name!!Damage!!Description
|-
! colspan=2 rowspan=2 | Neutral attack
| rowspan=2 | || 3% || rowspan=2 | A quick jab and then attacks with her arm cannon in a arc. The second hit can be easily [[shield|shielded]] or [[shield grab|shield grabbed]], making it difficult to connect both hits.
|-

|-
! colspan=2| Down tilt
| || Fire: 14%<br/>Ice: 5% (center), 2% (edge) || Brings down her cannon arm creating either a fiery explosion or an icy explosion depending on which one the player has chosen.

| || 5% || Dashes forward a slight distance while in her Morph Ball form. Deals weak damage and knockback.
|-
! colspan=2| Dash attack

The missile can either be a homing missile (when B is pressed while tilting the [[control stick]]) or a Super Missile (when B is pressed while smashing the control stick forward). Super Missiles travel straight forward instead of homing in the opponent, and are faster and stronger than homing missiles. Super Ice Missiles have a shorter range than its plasma counterpart. Homing Ice Missiles do not explode after a certain distance, they keep on going until they either hit their target, terrain, or go offscreen.
|-
! colspan=2| Up special
| [[Screw Attack]] || Ground: 2% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-12)<br/>Air: 1% (hits 1-12) || Shoots up into the air while spinning around rapidly via the "Screw Attack" ability from the ''Metroid'' series.

Move lasts about 5 seconds and passes through any [[terrain]]. Has decent knockback and makes Samus lose her Power Suit if the [[B button]] is held whenever the move ends.

==Alternate costumes==

===Project M===
Samus had three new costumes added in version 3.5.  They are based on the Classic Power Suit, Light Suit, and Fusion Suit. The Fusion Suit-colored costume has also been changed to resemble [[Dark Samus]].

Version 3.6 replaced the Dark Suit color scheme with the actual Dark Suit, and gave all her other alternate costumes [http://imgur.com/a/RU1wd#zVps6RS brand new aesthetics].

An unreleased patch reveals Samus would have had an alternate costume based off the PED Suit from Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, which would have given her five model swapping costumes.

===Project+===
In Project+, Samus is one of few characters to have their overall design changed. Her new design incoporates elements from the ''Metroid Prime'' series and ''Metroid: Samus Returns''.

All costumes introduced in Project M were modified to match the proportions of Samus' new design. In addition, the previously unused PED Suit in Project M is now properly implemented as an alternate costume, sharing the same modifications as her other costumes. The Fusion Suit also received recolors inspired by the suit upgrades in ''Metroid Fusion'' for team battles.
