'''Samus''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. For her appearance in ''Project M'' she has been restored to her ''Melee'' version with considerable buffs and an entirely new alternate moveset that can be accessed via a taunt. <!--tier position paragraph-->

<!--attributes paragraph-->

===Changes from ''Melee'' to PM===

====Aesthetics====

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

====Attributes====

*{{buff|Can now [[crawl]], with a similar animation to her previous roll, and has gained a new crawl attack based off of the boost ball from ''Metroid Prime''.}}

====Grabs and Throws====

*{{buff|[[Grapple Beam]] has shorter reach, but is much faster in both start-up and ending lag, similar to {{PM|Link}}'s Clawshot. Dash grab retains its speed unchanged but it now has the same range as the standing grab.}}

*{{nerf|Can no longer use the [[extended grapple]].}}

====Special Attacks====

====Taunts====

*{{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. This gives Samus a new repertoire of altered attacks to work with, allowing players to be more creative in their styles.}}

*{{change|Samus can no longer change into {{PM|Zero Suit Samus}} in mid-match with her taunts.}}

*{{change|Up [[taunt]] replaced with her ''Melee'' taunt.}}
