'''Zero Suit Samus''' ({{ja|ゼロスーツサムス|Zero Sūtsu Samusu}}, ''Zero Suit Samus'') is a newcomer that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.
'''Zero Suit Samus''' ({{ja|ゼロスーツサムス|Zero Sūtsu Samusu}}, ''Zero Suit Samus'') is a newcomer that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.


Zero Suit Samus is voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Alésia Glidewell}} in all regions, with a mix of grunts and short bits of English dialogue. She got this role and the role of [[Knuckle Joe]] in English through voicing [[Krystal]] in ''Brawl''{{'}}s English version.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-5P0BwdlWg&t=220s "South Texas Gamer's Expo 2016 - Alesia Gladewell Q&A Panel (Pt.1)"]</ref> ''Brawl'' is the first game where [[Samus]] has accessible voiced dialogue; prior to this, she had grunts and cries of pain in some past games, extensive text dialogue and monologues in ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Fusion}}'', and an in-character monologue in ''Metroid Prime'' by Jennifer Hale (which went unused).
Zero Suit Samus is voiced by {{s|wikipedia|Alésia Glidewell}}, who also voices [[Krystal]] from ''Star Fox'' and the [[Assist Trophy]] [[Knuckle Joe]]; unlike those characters, Zero Suit Samus is always voiced in English regardless of region, like {{SSBB|Mario}}, {{SSBB|Luigi}}, {{SSBB|Peach}}, {{SSBB|Wario}} and {{SSBB|Lucas}}.


Zero Suit Samus can be played as by using Samus' {{b|Zero Laser|Samus}}, inputting Samus' up and down taunt rapidly, or by selecting Samus and holding the {{Button|WCC|L}} or {{Button|WCC|R}} button (Gamecube/Classic controller), {{Button|Wii|Z}} button (Nunchuk), or the {{Button|Wii|Minus}} button while transitioning to the stage select screen. In [[The Subspace Emissary]] she can be selected over Samus in [[The Great Maze]] and the post-game by hovering over Samus' slot and either tilting the {{Button|GCN|C-Stick}} (GameCube/Classic controller), {{Button|Wii|C}} (Nunchuk) or {{Button|Wii|Minus}} (sideways Wii Remote). She also can transform back by using her Final Smash, [[Power Suit Samus]].

Zero Suit Samus ranks 9th on the ''Brawl'' [[tier list]], placing her in the B tier. She has an amazing aerial and [[juggle]] game, possessing very high jumps and low-lag aerial attacks that do good knockback and damage, with her up and back aerials being especially useful. She also has very fast mobility, noticeable especially in her jumps, and some of the game's most versatile [[recovery]] options, including her midair jump, side and up specials, and down special. Zero Suit Samus also has an effective spacing tool in her [[Plasma Whip]] (albeit not being very fast), powerful KO options, such as her forward, up and back aerials, Plasma Whip, and [[Flip Jump]], as well as a great [[combo]] starter and KO setup in her down smash. Her [[Power Suit Piece]]s, in addition, are among the most powerful items in the game, and at the beginning of a match are very effective at damaging and shutting down the opponent. However, she has a poor ground game, with her tilts and smashes doing below average damage and mediocre knockback (though some of her ground attacks are still effective for combos), and a [[grab]] that despite its range, is one of the laggiest in the game, even when used as a [[pivot grab]] (unlike some other tether grabs). Because of this, her [[out of shield]] and defensive game (outside of maneuverability) are poor, due to lacking safe options on [[shield]] (her grab is unreliable due to its heavy lag), making herself prone to heavy shield [[pressure]], and despite her good air game, she lacks reliable options for enemies below her; this can make her vulnerable to juggling from characters such as {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}. Zero Suit Samus is additionally reliant on tether recoveries that can be [[edgehog]]ged, although her high jumps and Flip Jump make her suffer less from this than other characters with tethers. Her advantages lead to rather above average [[matchup]]s across the board, but this also causes her to suffer against higher-tiered characters. Despite her flaws, Zero Suit Samus has achieved strong tournament results.

===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
Zero Suit Samus was originally a mid tier character, ranked 21st on the first tier list (September 2008). However, as Zero Suit Samus mains showed her effective aerial game and combo abilities she rose to 16th place on the second tier list (January 2009), then stayed at 15th until the fifth tier list (September 2010), where she rose to 13th place. She rose again to 12th in the sixth tier list (July 2011), and 10th in the seventh list (April 2012). After {{Sm|Salem}} won [[Apex 2013]] using only Zero Suit Samus, she rose to 9th place in the eighth and current tier list, as of April 2013. Some people even believe that she belongs in the bottom of the top tiers; whether her current position is accurate or should be higher remains disputed, but her combination of mobility, powerful low lag aerials, strong recovery, and excellent stage control with her [[Power Suit Piece]]s makes her much better than initially thought.

==Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]==
[[File:Subspace zerosuit samus.PNG|thumb|250px|Zero Suit Samus in ''[[SSE]]''.]]
Zero Suit Samus is first seen breaking into the base of the [[Subspace Army]]. Soon she comes across {{SSBB|Pikachu}} being drained of its electrical power. Samus uses her whip to break the container the Pikachu is being held in, summoning a security force of [[R.O.B.]]s. Later, she comes across her Power Suit, but is confronted by two [[Shadow Bug]] clones mimicking the Power Suit.
After reacquiring her Power Suit, {{SSBB|Samus}} and her new companion Pikachu come across [[Ridley]]. He grabs Samus and starts to drag her against the wall, until Pikachu returns Samus' favor and uses {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} on Ridley, causing him to drop Samus. An infuriated Ridley attacks. Once they defeat him, the duo exits the base and come across a cave.
Samus and Pikachu make their way to the [[Subspace Bomb Factory]] and find the [[Ancient Minister]] with the [[R.O.B. Squad]]. They prepare to fight, but then realize that he looks very sad. Soon, {{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBB|Olimar}}, {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}} and {{SSBB|Donkey Kong}} find the factory and enter. A hologram of {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} appears and orders the R.O.B. Squad to activate the Subspace Bombs in the factory. The Ancient Minister tries to stop them, but is set on fire when Ganondorf orders them to retaliate. After The Ancient Minister is revealed to be a {{SSBB|R.O.B.}} himself, the characters set out and all join the quest.
Samus helps the others to fight [[Meta Ridley]], flees the island, gathers with almost all the rest of the characters, enters the subspace, is defeated by Tabuu and revived by the {{SSBB|King Dedede}}, {{SSBB|Ness}} and {{SSBB|Luigi}}. She can help to defeat Tabuu in the end.
===Playable appearances===
After Zero Suit Samus reclaims the Samus suit, the players have the option to use her Zero Suit form in other levels.

===Exclusive [[stickers]]===
Since Samus and Zero Suit Samus share the same trophy base, there are some cases in which certain stickers will not affect one of them. Since Smash Balls don't appear in Adventure Mode, if one transforms into Zero Suit Samus, they will be unable to change back until the end of the level (or, in [[The Great Maze]], a save point). Aside from use of items, only [[Leg]], [[Weapon]], and [[Energy]] stickers will affect both characters. That said, all of Zero Suit Samus's moves consist of Leg or Weapon attacks barring the first hit of the jab, Forward Throw and Down Smash.

*Zero Suit Samus's grab, while a [[tether grab]], is not a [[tether recovery]], although it becomes one in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''. She shares this disability with {{SSBB|Yoshi}} and {{SSBB|Olimar}}. In ''Ultimate'', this trait is also shared with {{SSBU|Luigi}}.

*''Brawl'' is the first instance of [[Samus]] having spoken dialogue performed by a voice actress; her only voice prior to ''Brawl'' was in the form of grunts and cries of pain in the ''Metroid Prime'' series, which were performed by Jennifer Hale. However, Hale recorded a monologue in-character as Samus for the original ''Metroid Prime'', which ultimately went unused. ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid: Other M}}'' and ''{{iw|metroidwiki|Metroid Dread}}'' later gave Samus spoken dialogue, to a much greater extent in the former than the latter.
*Zero Suit Samus's original artwork from her reveal differs from her final in-game artwork; in this case, the shading is heavier and her pose is slightly different. She shares this trait with {{SSBB|Pit}} and {{SSBB|Snake}}, though the differences in her artwork are not as drastic as theirs.
