:{{cquote|Zero Suit Samus Zeroes In!|cite=Introduction Tagline}}

Zero Suit Samus is currently ranked 6th out of 55 on the [[tier list]]. This is a slight improvement from her high-tier placement in ''Brawl'', where she was ranked 9th out of 38. Zero Suit Samus possesses a dominant air game: her neutral and back aerials are safe and reliable set-up and KOing options, respectively, whereas her up aerial is an incredibly effective juggling option that also boasts KO potential.

Zero Suit Samus' [[punishment]] potential is also one of the greatest among the cast, courtesy of her fast and nimble mobility, a [[paralyze|paralyzing]] [[projectile]] in [[Paralyzer]], and a potent combo game that can quickly rack up damage or even KO outright. In addition, she possesses a long-distanced and varied recovery, thanks to having two [[Tether recovery|tether recoveries]], a third jump in [[Flip Jump]] and her new up special, [[Boost Kick]]. This makes her recovery hard to intercept as it's unpredictable and can be very deadly. Her aerial moves possess enough power to KO rather early as if she was a heavyweight especially Boost Kick and Flip Kick.

 

 

Regardless of her flaws, Zero Suit Samus is widely considered to be a very viable character in competitive play, as shown by {{sm|Nairo}} and {{sm|Marss}} winning numerous national and regional tournaments, respectively.

Lastly, Zero Suit Samus possesses a few invaluable KO set-ups aside from Paralyzer. Down smash is one of the few smash attacks of its kind that only hits in one direction, but it is very quick and paralyzes an opponent like Paralyzer, allowing her to follow it up with a forward smash, back aerial, a grab, Boost Kick or Flip Jump, with the last KOing at very low percentages. In addition, down throw itself has guaranteed follow-ups at any percentage below 160%. Depending on the opponent's [[Directional influence|DI]], it can combo into forward or up aerial, and sometimes back aerial and Boost Kick. This throw is also notorious for its ability to score very early KOs. Without proper DI, a series of up aerials leading into a Boost Kick can KO the majority of the cast at 50% while near the upper blast line. The latter's loop hits also have high base knockback and can KO if its last hit does not land due to [[Smash directional influence|SDI]], even with perfect DI. Even with proper DI, this combo can also KO earlier if the opponent is near an edge. Due to its speed, neutral attack's first hit can also function as a surprisingly effective set-up into Boost Kick at medium to high percentages. Altogether, these traits make Zero Suit Samus' [[punishment]] potential one of the most potent in the game.

The overwhelming majority of Zero Suit Samus' attacks have hitbox placements that are high above the ground, making it easy for short characters to avoid getting hit, especially while [[crouching]]. Despite Paralyzer's paralysis effect, its range is decent at best, and it does not stay out for very long. As a result, her approach against most defensive and zoning characters is limited to dodging their projectiles with her mobility, [[powershield]]ing, and either coming in from above with an aerial, or fast falling and then immediately grabbing. All of these drawbacks also make Zero Suit Samus susceptible to momentum shifts, which in turn gives her a weak [[neutral game]].

Overall, Zero Suit Samus' very potent air and punishment games allow her to reliably set-up combos and KOs like in ''Brawl'', while her KO potential has improved thanks to her newfound KOing options. However, she must nevertheless be wary of characters with strong [[neutral game]]s, due to the poor quality of her own neutral game. Despite retaining her initial flaws and receiving subsequent ones from game updates, Zero Suit Samus has nevertheless achieved very impressive tournament representation and results, as evident with players such as {{Sm|Nairo}} and {{Sm|Marss}} having won national and regional tournaments, respectively.

However, Zero Suit Samus also received some nerfs. The most noticeable of these was that as she is no longer tied to {{SSB4|Samus}}, she no longer has access to her [[Power Suit Piece]]s which significantly hinders her stage control and her item game combined with the removal of [[glide toss]]ing. Although Plasma Whip has improved recovery potential, it has more ending lag and is significantly weaker, making it much easier to punish and far less reliable for KOing, eliminating one of her most reliable KO moves. Her aerial prowess has also slightly worsened. Her jumps are lower (especially since she no longer has [[Plasma Wire]]) and her aerials except for down aerial are all weaker. She is significantly more vulnerable to combos due to the removal of hitstun canceling combined with her increased falling speed. Lastly, some of her ground attacks have been nerfed as well: down tilt has increased startup and much more ending lag along with a less favorable angle, removing all of its combo potential and making it arguably her worst move, her new dash attack has one more frame of startup along with much higher ending lag, making it much more punishable and removing its locking and follow-up potential, and her down smash is weaker, has smaller hitboxes, its stun duration was decreased, and it has increased ending lag, worsening its follow-up potential and making it less safe on shield.  

*{{change|Zero Suit Samus' design is now a combination of her appearance in ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Other M}}'', and her official artwork for ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'' and ''{{s|metroidwiki|Metroid: Zero Mission}}''. Her bangs, beauty mark, shorter height, larger {{s|wikipedia|bust/waist/hip measurements}} and {{s|metroidwiki|Zero Suit}} are from ''Other M''. Additionally, her lean musculature is from ''Fusion'' and ''Zero Mission''; her facial structure and greenish blue eyes are from ''Zero Mission'';<ref name=ZM>[https://www.metroid-database.com/old_site/mzm/art/ZSSMZME.png Metroid: Zero Mission's Development Room Gallery 2]</ref> and her flaxen blonde hair is from ''Fusion''. Lastly, the aesthetic used in ''SSB4'' has resulted in Zero Suit Samus' hair being of a significantly higher visual quality than in ''Brawl''.}}

*{{change|Zero Suit Samus' previously unused damage yells from ''Brawl''{{'}}s [[Sound Test]] are now heard when taking high knockback.}}  

*{{buff|[[Air dodge]] has less startup (frame 4 → 2) and ending lag (FAF 40 → 31).}}

As a result, she no longer has access to her [[Power Suit Piece]]s which significantly hinders her stage control at the beginning of a match.}}  

**{{buff|Neutral attack's first and second hits have higher set knockback (10 (both) → 23/45 (hit 1), 34/50 (hit 2)). These changes make its hits connect together better, and decreases the possibility of opponents [[powershield]]ing the second and third hits. It also improves its [[jab cancel]]ing potential despite its higher ending lag. Its last hit also has more base knockback (45 → 60).}}

**{{change|Due to consisting of a sweetspot and a sourspot instead of a consistent hitbox, forward tilt no longer deals consistent damage (6% (upward angled)/6% (non-angled)/9% (downward angled) → 8%/7%/8% (foot)/6.5%/6%/6.5% (leg)).}}

**{{buff|Forward tilt has higher base knockback (8 (upward angled/non-angled)/12 (downward angled) → 30), improving its spacing potential.}}

**{{buff|Up tilt's second hit deals 1% more damage (6% → 7%) and has more knockback scaling (80 → 90), granting it KO potential at very high percentages. Its first hit also has decreased knockback (55/80 (base), 70 (scaling) → 55/85/30 (aerial)/50 (grounded)). This makes its hits connect together better. It also grants intangibility on Zero Suit Samus's lower legs, making it safer to use against aerial opponents.}}

**{{nerf|The second hit has more startup lag (frame 7 → 9).}}

***{{buff|However, its duration has been unchanged, giving it less ending lag relative to the hitbox.}}

**{{buff|Down tilt has received an additional sweetspot that deals 8%. It also deals more knockback (65 (base), 70 (scaling) → 60/85).}}

**{{change|Down tilt's animation has slightly changed. Zero Suit Samus now moves forward when performing the legsweep. This new animation increases its range and allows it to be used as a pseudo-crawl but removes its spacing potential.}}  

**{{nerf|Down tilt has more startup (frame 5 → 8), ending lag (FAF 26 → 36) and it can no longer be interrupted by walking or crawling backwards. When combined with its higher knockback and altered angle (70°/90°/80° → 60°), these changes greatly hinder its combo potential despite the changes to hitstun canceling. These changes also make it much more punishable when combined with its new animation.}}

**{{buff|Compared to the previous dash attack, its clean hit deals 1% more damage (7% → 8%), it has a longer duration (frames 6-15 → 7-19) and it covers much more distance.}}

**{{nerf|Dash attack has more start-up with the sweetspot having a shorter duration (frames 6-9 → 7-9) and it has much more ending lag (FAF 32 → 52), removing its locking and follow-up potential. It also has smaller hitboxes (3.5u/5u/6u → 4.5u/4.5u (clean), 2.5u/3.8u/3.5u → 3.1u/4.1u (late)) compared to the previous dash attack.}}

**{{nerf|It no longer deals any extra shield damage (1 → 0).}}

**{{change|Dash attack has different knockback (30 (base), 80 (scaling) → 100/40) compared to the previous dash attack. This makes it more effective for spacing and [[cross-up]]s, but incapable of being followed up with tilt attacks.}}

**{{nerf|Down smash deals less damage (11% → 8% (near)/6% (far)). The far hit's knockback was not compensated which along with the changes to the [[Paralyze|paralysis]] formula, makes it stun opponents for less than half the amount of time.}}  

**{{change|The first hit has more base knockback but less knockback scaling (35 (base), 70 (scaling) → 50/50).}}  

**{{nerf|The second hit has a shorter duration, due to it no longer having a late hit (frames 16-17 (clean)/18-20 (late) → 16-17).}}  

**{{nerf|Back aerial deals less damage (13% (foot)/12% (leg) → 12/10%) without full compensation on its knockback (33 (base), 100 (scaling) → 42/98) hindering its KO potential, especially the sourspot.}}  

**{{change|Up aerial has a new animation where Zero Suit Samus now performs a bicycle kick. She performs a considerably slower somersault than she did previously.}}  

**{{buff|Up aerial has a longer duration (frames 4-6 (clean)/7-8 (late) → 6-12), with the move no longer having a weaker late hit.}}  

**{{nerf|Up aerial deals less damage (10% (clean)/7% (late) → 6.5%), without full compensation on its knockback compared to its previous clean hit (40 (base), 100 (scaling) → 30/125), hindering its KO potential.}}  

**{{buff|Down aerial deals more damage (5% (aerial)/4% (grounded) → 6%/5%), improving its KO potential.}}  

**{{buff|Back throw deals more damage (4% (throw)/6% (total) → 8%), with its knockback compensated (70 (base), 60 (scaling) → 72/45).}}  

**{{nerf|Down throw deals less damage (5% (throw)/7% (total) → 3%/5%) and it deals more knockback (100 (base), 25 (scaling) → 90/60), hindering its followup potential at higher percents while still not being a viable KO option.}}  

**{{buff|Floor attacks have less ending lag (FAF 50 → 46) and back floor attack has less startup lag (frame 15 (hit 1)/27 (hit 2) → 14/23).}}  

**{{nerf|Paralyser has more startup lag when charged (frame 41 → 43).}}  

**{{nerf|Paralyser has more ending lag (FAF 40 (uncharged)/60 (charged) → 49/71). This hinders the uncharged version's followup potential despite its longer stun duration, as well as hindering the safety of both versions.}}  

**{{nerf|Paralyzer has smaller hitboxes (1.9u (uncharged)/3u (charged) → 1.3u/2u).}}  

**{{nerf|The whip hitboxes deal less damage on their own (3% → 2% (hit 1 near)/1.2% (hit 1 far/hits 2-4).}}  

**{{change|Zero Suit Samus has a new up special, Boost Kick. It is a jet-propelled diagonal split-legged flying kick, followed by a spinning hook kick.}}  

**{{buff|Compared to [[Plasma Wire]], Boost Kick deals overall more damage (4%-6% → 5% (hit 1)/1.3% (hits 2-7)/4% (hit 8)) and has different knockback (60 (base), 40 (scaling) → 50/209), making it significantly more effective at KOing. It also covers more horizontal distance than Plasma Wire. Like Plasma Wire, it has [[mindgame]] potential. Unlike Plasma Wire, it can punish rolls.}}  

**{{buff|Zero Suit Samus has a new [[Final Smash]], Gunship. She boards [[metroidwiki:Samus Aran's Gunship|her Gunship]] and fires energy blasts from its cannons toward the stage, similarly to [[Grenade Launcher]]. Compared to [[Power Suit Samus]], it has a significantly longer duration, which makes it significantly more effective at damage racking in spite of its overall lower damage output (25% (spin)/10% (discharge) → 0.8% (hits 1-9)/10% (hit 10)). Unlike Power Suit Samus, it can be used for stage control.}}

Zero Suit Samus has been nerfed via game updates. Update [[1.0.4]] standardized her air dodge's animation in order for it to match the rest of the cast's, which increased its landing lag, while up smash and [[Paralyzer]] had their start-up and ending lag increased, respectively. Update [[1.1.4]] decreased [[Boost Kick]]'s knockback scaling, which results in it now KOing slightly later. Her most substantial nerfs came about in update [[1.1.5]], which affected her damage racking potential by decreasing the damage outputs of her neutral aerial, up aerial and down throw, while all of her grabs had their active frames decreased.

Despite these direct nerfs, Zero Suit Samus also received indirect buffs because of the changes to shield mechanics brought about by updates [[1.1.0]] and [[1.1.1]]. These changes make her most damaging attacks and Paralyzer's [[electric]] attacks safer on shield. Overall, Zero Suit Samus' viability has remained largely intact in spite of her nerfs.

|uairdesc=A bicycle kick. Thanks to its minimal start-up and ending lag, very low base knockback and very high knockback scaling, it boasts excellent juggling potential. It can combo into itself at low percentages and, with sufficient [[rage]], it can combo into Boost Kick after a second one has been landed, leading to a KO. By extension, its very knockback scaling also grants it KO potential in spite of its low damage output. It KOs middleweights at 144% while near the upper [[blast line]] of Final Destination in the ''3DS'' version, and at 136% in the ''Wii U'' version. However, its very low base knockback makes it unsafe on hit against characters that have a fast aerial attack to counter with.

Zero Suit Samus has been widely been viewed as a top-tier character ever since ''SSB4'' was released. She became infamous for her highly rewarding grab combos that could lead into early KOs, varied methods of setting up KOs with her back and down throws, down smash, and Paralyzer, her ability to escape pressure with her aerial mobility and down special, and, as of update [[1.1.1]], the incredible safety of her electric attacks like her neutral aerial. However, she also has a few weaknesses, such as her laggy grab and lackluster ground game. Although players would often point out both her weaknesses and her representation only being above average for a perceived top-tier character, Zero Suit Samus' weaknesses were also perceived as negligible. Additionally, her top-tier status was supplemented by the efforts of dedicated professionals, most notably {{Sm|Marss}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Nick Riddle}}, {{Sm|Remzi}} and {{Sm|V115}}, who dominated their respective regions with her and whose tournament results had been sufficient enough to position her as the second best character in the game in the eyes of most players.

 

Nairo's efforts in particular have demonstrated the former points: he is one of the best ''SSB4'' players in the world, consistently achieves top 8 placings at major tournaments (most notably winning [[MLG World Finals 2015]]) and became the first person to eliminate {{Sm|ZeRo}}, the undisputed best player in the world at the time, from a tournament. Other notable placings included Nick Riddle placing 2nd at [[Paragon Orlando 2015]] and 7th at [[CEO 2015]], and Marss placing 7th at [[GENESIS 3]]. Thanks to these very strong tournament results, Zero Suit Samus was ranked 2nd on the first tier list.

However, Zero Suit Samus received nerfs from game updates, with update 1.1.5 providing her most significant ones by exacerbating her grab game's lag issues, and somewhat toning down her immense strengths. These nerfs ultimately affected her results, with some of her main players eventually being outperformed by other characters, such as {{SSB4|Cloud}}, which in turn saw her playerbase slightly shrink. Zero Suit Samus' downturn was reflected in her subsequent tier placements, as she lost her top 3 status by being ranked 8th on the second tier list, and then lost her top 10 status by being ranked 11th on the third tier list.

However as of recently, Zero Suit Samus has had a huge spike in results thanks to {{Sm|Marss}} and {{Sm|Nairo}} placing top 2 at many major tournaments and most notably Nairo's win at [[Super Smash Con 2017]] while using Zero Suit Samus a majority of the tournament. Due to these impressive results and her ladder combos still being very frightening, her tier spot has been debated once again as many smashers claim that she should be ranked much higher due to her most recent results and these results being more impressive that characters ranked above her such as {{SSB4|Sheik}}, {{SSB4|Mario}}, {{SSB4|Rosalina}}, {{SSB4|Mewtwo}}, and {{SSB4|Marth}}. This is reflected by Zero Suit Samus's return to the top 10 on the fourth tier list, being ranked 6th. Some smashers however claim that despite her recent spike of results, her neutral and ground game hinder her enough to put her at a lower spot with players like {{Sm|ANTi}}, {{Sm|ESAM}}, {{Sm|Mr.R}} and {{Sm|ZeRo}} believe that she is overrated and that she shouldn't be ranked as high as she is especially since other characters like {{SSB4|Sheik}}, {{SSB4|Cloud}}, {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}, {{SSB4|Corrin}}, {{SSB4|Marth}}, {{SSB4|Fox}} and {{SSB4|Mewtwo}} win tournaments more consistently than she does.

:'''Zero Suit Samus'''

::{{flag|ntsc}} ''Samus is far from helpless when her Power Suit is deactivated. Sure, she loses a lot of the moves and weapons she had access to before, but her Jet Boots pick up the slack! She also has the Paralyzer, a versatile weapon that can shock her rivals or change into a Plasma Whip to grab edges and enemies.''

::{{flag|pal}} ''Without her Power Suit, Samus Aran may not have her usual strength, specials moves or over-powered arm cannon, but her Jet Boots definitely kick things up a notch in their own way. The Paralyzer, her gun, does just what you'd expect it to, but it can also turn into a whip for attacking and grabbing onto edges while falling.''
