'''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 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.

==Attributes==
Zero Suit Samus is a tall [[lightweight]] who boasts excellent mobility overall. She has the fourth fastest [[dashing]] and [[walking]] speeds, tied with {{SSBB|Bowser}} and {{SSBB|Marth}} for the 11th fastest [[air speed]], tied with {{SSBB|Wolf}} and {{SSBB|Sonic}} for the third highest [[traction]], tied with {{SSBB|Ness}}, {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, and {{SSBB|Zelda}} for the sixth fastest [[air acceleration]], and the second highest [[jump]]. Her [[falling speed]] and [[gravity]] are above-average (15th and 13th highest, respectively). She is also able to [[crawl]] and [[wall jump]], much like in her home series. On the downside, she has only a few amount of reliable KO options, with only her forward aerial, back aerial, up aerial, Plasma Whip, and Flip Kick reliably KO'ing under 125%. This puts her in the "hit-and-run" archetype group.

She starts the match with a huge advantage over most characters in that she has readily throw-able projectiles that are extremely powerful and combo well with her glide toss. Many of her attacks have the advantage of coming out fast, and can combo most heavy weights with her aerials very easily.

Her [[side special]] has a huge sweetspot at the end (one of the biggest in the game, second to {{SSBB|Zelda}}'s side special) and the sour spot has the ability to push the opponent into the sweet spot, effectively KOing most characters around 110% if it's not [[stale move negation|stale]]. Her down smash has deceptively long range, extreme safety on shield, and sets up many combos, as well as KO setups. Zero Suit Samus is unique in the fact that many of her moves have large hitboxes and easy to hit sweetspots, this can devastate opponents as they are dealt a barrage of aerials and fast ground attacks. Her [[up smash]] is decent because it has fast start-up and its great to stop incoming opponents from above and puts them in good position for juggling, although it is can be easily escaped through [[SDI]].

One of her few KO moves is her [[up aerial]], a very fast flip kick that can KO as low as 90% if the opponent is near the upper blast line and possesses a very large sweetspot for such a powerful move. Both of her high jumps compliment this strategy. She also has 3 [[meteor smash]]es, her [[Flip Jump]] kick, if hit when she sticks her foot out, will spike opponents hard (even without doing this, the kick is still somewhat powerful and can KO most characters at fairly moderate damage percentages with strong horizontal knockback), her [[up special]], if hit at the tip, will meteor smash anyone it hits and her down aerial (although this is an unreliable spike). Both of these can be used for any situation, giving her multiple surprise KO methods.

Zero Suit Samus, if mastered, is extremely dangerous and many players can find themselves down a stock or worse if they aren't careful. Her attacks and combos require a lot of precision which makes her a difficult character to learn and play effectively. The stale move negation can complicate her to get a KO, in spite of her having only a few KO moves and good edgeguarding skills. All of her tilts are quick (although her up tilt has high ending lag), with decent range, and have the added bonus of launching her opponents into the air. She has a situational though passable out of shield game (making herself prone to heavy shield pressure). Her aerial game is powerful with lethal kicks and long-ranged attacks, but her very high short hop makes approaches with aerials difficult. Her projectile, the Paralyzer, can set opponents up for KO's and deals a bit of damage. However, it's slow and needs to be charged up to go far. Her tether grab has incredible range (tied with Olimar´s Red Pikmin, only losing to White and Blue Pikmin, although her grab possesses the longest range in aerial opponents), but it leaves her vulnerable if it misses which is dangerous for a such a light character. Her smashes compliment her perfectly. Her up and down smashes are useful for their range. The down smash is perfect for set up KO's, and the up smash makes for an good launcher, and can stop opponents' midair combos, while her side smash is quite weak, in terms of damage and power, with high ending lag and considerable start-up lag, but with good range, even behind her. In terms of recovery, she can use her Plasma Wire and Whip as a tether recovery, but it can be stopped by [[edge-hogging]], although due to her air speed and second jump being fairly high and combining with Flip Jump, she can usually come back to the stage without relying on her tether.

==Moveset==

{{MovesetTable
|game=SSBB
|neutralcount=3
|neutralname=Level Chop ({{ja|レベルチョップ|Reberu Choppu}}) / Gun Hook ({{ja|ガンフック|Gan Fukku}}) / Back Knuckle ({{ja|バックナックル|Bakku Nakkuru}})
|neutral1dmg=2%
|neutral2dmg=2%
|neutral3dmg=3%
|neutraldesc=Knifehand strike, pistol whip, elbow strike. First hit out on frame 1, being one of the fastest moves in the game. The third hit is easily powershielded, although the jab is inescapable against aerial opponents.
|ftiltname=Spin Kick ({{ja|スピンキック|Supin Kikku}})
|ftiltangles=3
|ftiltupdmg=6%
|ftiltsidedmg=6%
|ftiltdowndmg=9%
|ftiltdesc=Does an around-the-body 45° kick. Can be angled. At low percentages, it can make opponents [[trip]] if tilted down. However, at mid-high percentages, angle upward or forward will cause tripping more often. Very low knockback. Has a start-up of 6 frames. Can lock, like the dash attack.
|utiltname=Headstand Kick ({{ja|ヘッドスタンドキック|Heddosutando Kikku}})
|utiltdmg=5% (hit 1), 6% (hit 2)
|utiltdesc=Does a handstand split while spinning in place, legs moving up vertically. Pretty good knockback at higher percentages, and at low percentages it sets up combos well. Has a start-up of 3 frames. Replaces her down smash as a semi-effective means of hitting opponents on both sides. Good [[OoS]], although it is situational.
|dtiltname=Ground Sweep ({{ja|グラウンドスイープ|Guraundo Suīpu}})
|dtiltdmg=6%
|dtiltdesc=Does a prone leg-sweep. Knocks upwards from afar, knocks diagonally at close range. Hits on frame 5. Can combo into other moves well at low and high percentages alike.
|dashname=Jump Kick ({{ja|ジャンプキック|Janpu Kikku}})
|dashdmg=7% (clean), 5% (late)
|dashdesc=Does a sliding kick forward with her leg extended. Similar to Fox's dash attack. Hits on frame 6. Can easily be followed with tilts at low to mid percentages, and can [[lock]] if [[buffer]]ed properly. Has [[transcendent priority]].
|fsmashname=Smash Whip ({{ja|スマッシュウィップ|Sumasshu Wippu}})
|fsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|10}} (gun), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|9}} (late gun), 11% (whip), 6% (back, whip tip), 13% (whip base)
|fsmashdesc=Whips forward with her plasma whip. Great range, but has very poor knockback, especially at the tip and high startup lag and [[ending lag]], being easy to [[punish]] (especially with [[shield grab]]s). Hits on frame 20. This move also attacks enemies from behind her, but with minimal damage and vertical knockback. The sweetspot on the whip mostly overlaps the hitbox on the gun, which outprioritizes it, making the sweetspot very difficult to land. Additionally, none of the hitboxes on the whip scale in damage when charged.
|usmashname=Shocker String ({{ja|ショッカーストリング|Shokkā Sutoringu}})
|usmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|4}} (hit 1), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|1}} (hits 2-5), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|3}} (hit 6)
|usmashdesc=Spins in place, extending the Plasma Whip up above her head in a swirl. Hits multiple times, has long vertical disjointed range and decent horizontal range. Has fast startup (8 frames). Only the tip of the plasma whip does knockback (which is very low). It's easy to [[SDI]] out of it before the last hit connect.
|dsmashname=Slant Paralyzer ({{ja|スラントパラライザー|Suranto Pararaizā}})
|dsmashdmg={{ChargedSmashDmgSSBB|11}}
|dsmashdesc=Aims down and shoots paralyzer gun at the ground in front of her, creating a lightning effect. Only hits in front. Low damage and delayed knockback, but stuns the target in place for a short time depending on the damage that the opponent has. Unique attack that can be followed up by a [[side smash]], a grab or another move. Double down smash followed by up smash (or whatever is appropriate at the time, like an aerial) is an effective combo and can easily rack up damage. Also moves her forward a little. Can [[infinite]] {{SSBB|Fox}} at mid percentages and other [[fastfaller]]s to a lesser extent. Hits on frame 20, making it somewhat difficult to land, but has extremely low ending lag with only 12 frames of ending lag making it very safe on shield when combined with the move's range. Altogether, its excellent combo and KO setup potential combined with its extreme safety on shield have made it considered one of the best down smashes in the game if not the best.
|nairname=Whip Guard ({{ja|ウィップガード|Wippu Gādo}})
|nairdmg=10%
|nairdesc=Spins the Plasma Whip around herself. Fairly long range, but with below average knockback. Always deals 10% damage, regardless of [[stale-move negation]], and does not refresh stale-move negation on other moves, decent spacing option.
|fairname=Twice Kick ({{ja|トワイスキック|Towaisu Kikku}})
|fairdmg=6% (hit 1), 10-11% (hit 2 clean), 7% (hit 2 late)
|fairdesc=Two forward kicks, with the second kick being stronger and slightly faster than the first. Because of the knockback of the first kick, it is difficult to hit with both kicks unless taking advantage of upward and forward momentum from a jump. Second kick can be landed without first kick, but it requires correct timing. First hit on frame 6, second hit on frame 16.
|bairname=Sobat ({{ja|ソバット|Sobatto}})
|bairdmg=13% (foot), 12% (leg)
|bairdesc=A backward kick that has high knockback. Can [[bait]], combo at lower percentages, KO at high percentages, and can be [[buffer]]red or used twice in a [[short hop]]. Has a disjointed hitbox. Hitbox out on frame 8.
|uairname=Air Kick ({{ja|エアキック|Ea Kikku}})
|uairdmg=10% (clean), 7% (late)
|uairdesc=Flip kicks both legs above her head. Has good KO potential on lighter characters at around 90% if they are near the upper blast line. Sweetspot is directly in front of her. Hitbox out on frame 4. At low percentages, it can chain into itself, like {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}´s up aerial, being a very useful [[juggling]] move. Hits slightly behind her too with low knockback, good for setting up back aerials or up tilts on a grounded opponent.
|dairname=Slash Dive ({{ja|スラッシュダイブ|Surasshu Daibu}})
|dairdmg=5% (aerial), 4% (grounded), 5% (landing)
|dairdesc=A [[stall-then-fall]]. Zero Suit Samus stalls momentarily in midair, and then shoots down diagonally. If it hits in midair, the move [[meteor smash]]es opponents but it is very weak and dangerous if she doesn't land onstage, as it will not stop until for some time, similar to {{SSBB|Toon Link}}'s down aerial, although, unlike Toon Link´s down aerial, it will always meteor smash. The move generally isn't used often due to being easy to [[SD]] with. It also has very high ending lag and [[landing lag]], like most stall-then-falls, and is easily punishable. However, its extremely fast vertical descent speed makes it an effective way to counter juggling, especially since her [[falling speed]] is below average. Start-up of 14 frames. Upon hitting the ground, it hits a second time, knocking anyone close away a fair bit.
|grabname=Grab ({{ja|つかみ|Tsukami}})
|grabdesc=&nbsp;
|pummelname=Grab Kneebutt ({{ja|つかみニーバット|Tsukami Nībatto}})
|pummeldmg=2%
|pummeldesc=Knees her victim. A fairly fast pummel.
|fthrowname=Stun Gun ({{ja|スタンガン|Sutan Gan}})
|fthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 7% (throw)
|fthrowdesc=Hits opponent forward with her gun. Can [[chaingrab]] most characters at lower percentages.
|bthrowname=Kick Throw ({{ja|キックスルー|Kikku Surū}})
|bthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 4% (throw)
|bthrowdesc=Kicks opponent behind herself. Extremely low knockback, rarely used due to there usually being better options available.
|uthrowname=Hold Somersault Kick ({{ja|ホールドサマーソルトキック|Hōrudo Samāsoruto Kikku}})
|uthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 8% (throw)
|uthrowdesc=Flips into the air and kicks the opponent upward. This is her most powerful throw knockback wise, being the only one capable of guaranteed a KO in [[Sudden Death]]. However, it has somewhat high ending lag, with a down throw being the preferred way to get opponents into the air for combos.
|dthrowname=Knee Stamp ({{ja|ニースタンプ|Nī Sutanpu}})
|dthrowdmg=2% (hit 1), 5% (throw)
|dthrowdesc=Slams opponent on ground and then axe kicks them. Ideal for combos, knocking opponents in a great position to followup with an up aerial or, depending on the opponent's [[DI]], a forward or back aerial.
|floorfname=&nbsp;
|floorfdmg=6%
|floorfdesc=Flips her legs around near the ground in a spin and gets up.
|floorbname=&nbsp;
|floorbdmg=6%
|floorbdesc=Flips her legs around upward in a spin and gets up.
|floortname=&nbsp;
|floortdmg=5%
|floortdesc=Flips her legs around on the ground in a spin and gets up.
|edgefname=&nbsp;
|edgefdmg=8%
|edgefdesc=Gets up while doing a kick forward.
|edgesname=&nbsp;
|edgesdmg=10%
|edgesdesc=Gets up slowly and punches forward.
|nsname=Paralyzer
|nsdmg=4-6%
|nsdesc=Fires a paralyzing shot.
|ssname=Plasma Whip
|ssdmg=3% (wire), 16% (tip)
|ssdesc=Fires the whip forwards a distance. Tip hitbox has high knockback. The wire can push the opponent in the tip.
|usname=Plasma Wire
|usdmg=4-6%
|usdesc=Zero Suit Samus fires her whip upwards, pulling anyone above her downwards. If used on someone who is on the ground next to Zero Suit Samus, it will knock them up, hitting multiple times, until they hit the end, at which point it will pull them back down. If used on an airborne opponent while off the stage, it will pull them down and they will keep going, effectively spiking them, though the tip of the Plasma Wire must connect with the opponent to cause this effect.
|dsname=Flip Jump
|dsdmg=12% (kick clean), 9% (kick late)
|dsdesc=Zero Suit Samus does a small flip jump. It functions as a third jump and grants full body intangibility on frames 1-12. If the attack button is pressed after the jump she will stick out her foot in a 45 degree angle, which has [[sex kick]] properties and functions as a powerful meteor smash on aerial opponents that can be confirmed into from her down smash with proper timing.  
|fsname=Power Suit Samus
|fsdmg=25% (spin), 10% (shock)
|fsdesc=Zero Suit Samus radiates energy, dragging in items and enemies towards her, then somehow regains her Power Suit.

===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.

===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.

==[[Trophies]]==
Zero Suit Samus's main and [[Final Smash]] trophies can be obtained by clearing {{SSBB|Classic Mode}} and [[All-Star]] mode respectively with Zero Suit Samus.

|desc=Samus Aran without her mighty Power Suit. In this condition, she does not have the firepower she's famed for but is in full possession of the agility and athleticism she gained through her childhood training with the Chozo. Without the armor, she's also much, much faster. The weapon she carries is a self-protection device known as a Paralyzer that stops enemies cold.

|desc=Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash. Samus loses her Power Suit when she fires the Zero Laser, but she can restore it--that is, she can return from her Zero Suit form to her familiar armored form. That being said, Zero Suit Samus is very quick with great reach, so there are tactical reasons to fight as is. If that's your preference, don't pick up any Smash Balls.

==Trivia==
[[File:Zaro Suit Samus.png|thumb|"Zaro Suit Samus"]]
*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}}.
*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.
*Zero Suit Samus, {{SSBB|Falco}}, {{SSBB|Peach}}, {{SSBB|Pikachu}} and {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} are the only five characters who have speaking parts in all three of their taunts.
*Strangely, Zero Suit Samus's up tilt and up aerial have a [[slash]] effect along with making a slashing sound, despite that she uses her legs rather than any slashing tool. [[Kirby]]'s up smash also shares this trait.
*Zero Suit Samus is the only character to not appear anywhere on the [[character selection screen]] in ''Brawl''.
**Similarly, {{SSBM|Sheik}} is the only character to not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''{{'}}s character selection screen.
**As ''Smash 4'' separated Samus and Zero Suit Samus into their own character slots, ''Brawl'' marks the only time Samus and Zero Suit Samus are transformation characters and the only time Zero Suit Samus isn't seen on the character selection screen.
*When selecting Zero Suit Samus on the [[tournament mode]] and [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|SSE]] character selection screens, her name is misspelled as "Zaro Suit Samus".
*Zero Suit Samus and {{SSBB|Sonic}} are the only characters who are never fought in any form in The Subspace Emissary.
*Whenever Zero Suit Samus gets [[Star KO]]'d or [[Screen KO]]'d, her Paralyzer vanishes. A similar effect happens whenever she gets hit by [[Blue Falcon]].
*Zero Suit Samus is the only female newcomer introduced in ''Brawl''.
