Even characters KO'd by the Final Smash are often able to return to the stage and attack as the transformation finishes. It is also possible for an opponent to dodge the move by being behind Samus during the attack, again 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.

Should Samus be falling off the stage, activating the Final Smash will not stop her from falling.

Since the 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. | ||

In ''Ultimate'', Zero Suit Samus revived Zero Laser as her new Final Smash. Zero Suit rises into the air, then appears in the background atop her Gunship, wearing her Power Suit. A player-controlled crosshair then appears, and when the attack button is pressed, the now-suited Samus begins firing her Zero Laser with an area roughly equal to that of the crosshair. Like the Zero Laser used by the playable suited {{SSBU|Samus}}, it hits multiple times and builds up [[damage]]. At the end of the move, there is a brief pause, then one final burst is fired with enough power to [[knockback|launch]] opponents. Once the move concludes, Samus reverts to her Zero Suit; unlike with [[Power Suit Samus]] in ''Brawl'', she does not retain her Power Suit for gameplay after use. | |||
In ''Ultimate'', Zero Suit Samus | |||

== | ==Origin== | ||
The move is unique to ''Smash Bros.'' 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 move seems to have been inspired by the [http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Hypermode Hypermode] state, a state Samus could access while in a pile of Phazon. In both ''Metroid Prime'' and ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', this move was used as an attack method to defeat Metroid Prime and [[Dark Samus]]; it is strikingly similar to the Zero Laser, although, this beam actually consists of two beams intertwined and rapidly fires streams of Phazon beams instead of one massive beam. Rival bounty hunter Gandrayda can use a move nearly identical to the Zero Laser when mimicking Samus's form in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'', though due to the game's release date, this is likely a coincidence or a possible reference to ''Brawl'' instead. | |||
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. | |||

''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.'' | |||

| | {{Flag|pal}} ''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.'' | ||
