'''Zero Suit Samus''' ({{ja|ゼロスーツサムス|Zero Sūtsu Samusu}}, ''Zero Suit Samus'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. She was officially revealed on June 12th, 2018 alongside {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}} and the rest of the returning roster. Once again, Zero Suit Samus is unconnected to the standard playable {{SSBU|Samus}}, although she temporarily transforms into the latter during her Final Smash. Zero Suit Samus is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #29]].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the end, Zero Suit Samus retains much of her playstyle from ''Smash 4'', being a hit-and-run character with a strong punish game, while the transition from ''Smash 4'' to ''Ultimate'' has improved her overall mobility and [[neutral]] tools at the cost of her potent [[Combo|ladder combos]] and overall KO power.

 

Zero Suit Samus significantly benefits overall from the universal changes to gameplay mechanics. The faster movement speed further enhances her already excellent mobility, improving her approach and as such, her "hit and run" playstyle. The changes to [[air dodge]] mechanics improves her juggling capabilities, while not affecting her as much thanks to her great recovery and options to escape pressure. The universally reduced landing lag and more limited [[out of shield]] options allow her to retain some of her setups while improving on her mediocre neutral game, one of her most notable weaknesses in ''SSB4''.

 

She has also directly received some useful buffs. [[Down tilt]], arguably her worst move in ''SSB4'', has reduced ending lag that gives it combo potential, and her up smash has reduced base knockback with significantly increased knockback scaling, turning it into a reliable all-purpose attack with combo potential at low percentages and KO power at high ones. Aside from her lost ability to string lengthy and devastating punishes off of a down throw, Zero Suit Samus' grab game has been improved as a whole — her grab, previously one of the laggiest in the game, has been sped up, making it less risky to use; [[forward throw]] sends opponents in a lower angle, granting it the ability to set up [[tech-chasing]]; and [[up throw]] has increased knockback, granting her an emergency KO move at high percentages.

 

Finally, her special moveset has seen many improvements, as [[Paralyzer]] charges and fires shots faster, while [[Plasma Whip]] has had some of its lost KO power from ''Brawl'' restored and has a new version where opponents can be sent towards her for new setups if the button is held. [[Flip Jump]] executes faster in the air, both the jump and footstool stomp have less ending lag, and the manual kick can be inputted faster, which allows her to combo into it from her neutral aerial much more consistently and take stocks at very early percentages.

 

However, despite these changes, Zero Suit Samus has received some significant nerfs that generally halt the buffs she received. The most notable direct nerfs were to her outstanding punish game, which while still potent, has been toned down as a whole: her [[down throw]] has more knockback and ending lag, losing almost all its combo potential past extremely low percentages; [[up aerial]] has more ending lag, and both her down smash and Flip Jump's bury hitbox (especially the former) have less hitstun and knockback, worsening several of her setup moves and making it more difficult to capitalize on them and on KO confirms. Furthermore, the changes to the knockback physics make it more difficult for her to string her moves into the other. As a result of this, her combo game is significantly less varied and effective, now requiring Zero Suit Samus to utilize her improved mobility in order to land hits.

 

Zero Suit Samus's recovery, previously one of the best in the game, was also nerfed, as Plasma Whip takes much longer to grab an edge and has reduced tether range. Her KO ability, one of her previous weaknesses, has also been further defined due to the nerfs to [[forward smash]]'s sourspots and forward aerial's power, back aerials and [[Boost Kick]]'s hitboxes, and Boost Kick's reduced knockback (unless started from the ground), making it much harder for her to score KOs. Finally, in terms of indirect changes, while the faster mobility is a boon to Zero Suit Samus, it also allows many other characters to keep up with her and thus catch her more easily than before, slightly weakening her already problematic disadvantage.

 

In the end, Zero Suit Samus' nerfs have made her "hit and run" gameplan shift completely from ''SSB4''. She plays less linear thanks to a wider array of options, as opposed to her more polarized kit in ''SSB4'', though while she retains many of her advantages from the previous game and still possesses devastating punishes, her watered down combo game makes her early punish game and advantage less oppressive than before, now requiring her to play a much more patient neutral game, using her mobility to weave in and out and more carefully punishing mistakes, lest she be put at a disadvantage. She has also received slight nerfs through game updates, though these haven't drastically affected her viability. However, this all culminates in Zero Suit Samus performing worse than in ''SSB4''.

''For a gallery of Zero Suit Samus' hitboxes, see [[Zero Suit Samus (SSBU)/Hitboxes|here]].''

 

|ftiltsidedmg=7% (leg), 6% (body)

|utiltdesc=A butterfly kick performed from a variation of the {{iw|Wikipedia|2000|b-boy move}} (a breakdancing move) followed by an upward scissor kick. It hits on frame 3, making it Zero Suit Samus' fastest tilt attack. It is also one of only two moves that hit in front of and behind her, with the other being neutral aerial, making it a good replacement to her down smash to hit both sides.

|dtiltdesc=A legsweep. This lowers her hurtbox more than her crouch, allowing her to duck under most projectiles with proper timing. It works as a decent combo starter, being able to combo into forward aerial, up aerial, and a dashing up smash at low percentages.

|dashdesc=Activates her Jet Boots to perform a jet-propelled knee strike. It functions very well as a burst option and a whiff punish, due to it coming out on frame 7. However, it does not have much of a function otherwise, as it lacks KO potential, and has too much ending lag to be able to be used for combos.

|fsmashdesc=A mid-level sidekick followed by a spinning sidekick at a slightly higher angle. Due to it activating her Jet Boots, the second hit has a visible sweetspot in the form of a small, [[Flame|fiery]] blast at the tip of her foot. Unlike typical sweetspots, it has the same damage output as the sourspot; the only change is that it has slightly higher knockback scaling. Her side smash can be angled, but only the second kick changes in angle. It is often considered one of the worst forward smashes among the cast, because, despite its moderate startup, it is extremely weak, and it has very high ending lag despite this, making it a high-risk move with low reward.

|usmashdesc=Spins in place while twirling her Plasma Whip overhead. It possesses surprisingly high hitstun with low ending lag, making it a solid combo starter at low to mid percents, while still possessing decent kill power. It's also a very strong anti-air, as the attack has a huge disjoint above Samus's head. All of this, combined with its long-lasting, disjointed hitbox, make it commonly considered among the best up smashes in the game.

|dsmashdesc=Aims her Paralyzer downward in front of herself and fires a [[Paralyze|paralyzing]] energy blast at the ground. This move has poor KO potential, instead, it is used to initiate combos. The move has slow startup as it comes out on frame 20, but has very low ending lag with only 17 frames of cooldown which makes it excellent for leading into other moves such as Boost Kick for a potential KO at high percents. Opponents are paralyzed much longer at higher percentages. It can 2-frame punish opponents, giving her true followups if it is timed correctly. Based on the ability to shoot her Paralyzer downward in ''Metroid: Zero Mission''.

|nairname=Whip Guard ({{ja|ウィップガード|Wippu Gādo}})

|nairdmg={{ShortHopDmgSSBU|8}}

|nairdesc=Spins in midair, swinging her Plasma Whip laterally around herself. It is often considered her best aerial and one of the best neutral aerials in the game for a multitude of reasons; the most notable of which is its combo potential. It can combo into all of her aerials in a very wide range of percentages, starting at 0%, and at high percentages (around 80%), it has a KO confirm into back aerial. At lower percentages (around 40-60%), it has a notorious KO setup into Flip Kick, although it is sometimes inconsistent because of the sweetspot's small hitbox. Another reason it's so versatile is that it's extremely difficult to punish when landing with the move; against shield, its electric properties and disjointed range make it difficult to punish, even on whiff or out of a parry. On shield, it is -4 at best, making it safe against out-of-shield options that can even be as fast as frame 5. Combining all of this together, it adds up to be one of Zero Suit Samus's best moves overall.

|fairdesc=A hook kick followed by a roundhouse kick. At very high percents, the first hit has trouble connecting into the second hit; however, this, in return, makes it a good combo starter on landing. At low percentages, it can combo into up smash, another forward aerial, and forward tilt. At high percentages, it has KO confirms into back aerial, Boost Kick and Flip Kick. The attack by itself is decently strong, KOing offstage at around 100%. Because of ZSS's ability to go very far offstage and still be able to recover, it can KO even earlier.

|dairdesc=A diagonal flying kick, similar to {{SSBU|Sonic}} and {{SSBU|Sheik}}'s down aerials, though unlike most moves of its kind, it [[meteor smash]]es throughout its entire duration. Has the slowest startup lag of all of her aerials. Due to this move being a [[stall-then-fall]], it is extremely risky to use off-stage, leading to a [[self-destruct]] in most cases, though its aforementioned properties make it effective as a quick and unexpected [[sacrificial KO]], as the opponent will be KO'd first if hit below the ledge. Even when she lands on the ground, there is a high landing lag, making it easy to punish. Despite this, its extremely fast descent speed can enable it to counter a juggle if there is sufficient distance between Zero Suit Samus and the opponent.

|zairdesc=Lashes in front of her with the Plasma Whip. It shares most of the same combos and KO confirms that her neutral aerial has, such as her back aerial and Flip Kick at high percentages; however, due to its lower knockback, it has an additional KO setup into Boost Kick.

|grabdesc=Performs a kneeling lunge to unfurl the Plasma Whip. A hitbox appears at her hand, allowing her to grab opponents with less lag.

|pummeldesc=A knee strike. Average power and speed.

|fthrowdesc=Kicks the opponent away. It is arguably her most useful throw, as it is essential to her excellent tech-chasing capabilities due to its very low launch angle. It can even combo into dash attack against some characters, although the window for it to be true is rather tight.

|bthrowdesc=A mid-level roundhouse kick. It can get opponents offstage, and, if the opponent's reaction is read, it can combo into Flip Kick; however, this combo is extremely risky, as Zero Suit Samus has a very good chance to self-destruct if the Flip Kick misses due to its high ending lag.

|uthrowdesc=A backflip kick. The most damaging out of all of her throws, as well as her strongest throw; however, it doesn't KO middleweights until around 165%. To make up for this, however, it has an extremely fast startup, making it impossible to react to with DI.

|dthrowdesc=Pins the opponent on the ground, and performs an ax kick. Its high ending lag and average knockback make it a poor combo starter; the only way it can combo into attacks is to read the opponent's reaction.

|floorfdesc=A modified butterfly kick performed from a {{iw|wikipedia|windmill|b-boy move}} (a breakdancing move).

|nsdesc=Assumes a {{s|wikipedia|kneeling position}} to fire a paralyzing energy blast from her weapon. It can be charged, which increases its damage output the duration of its paralysis but at the cost of lowered speed. Targets hit by paralysis cannot be paralyzed again until making contact with the stage.

|ssdesc=Performs a kneeling lunge to unleash the Plasma Whip forward in a swirling motion. The whip hits repeatedly, while its sweetspot, which is located at the whip's tip, launches opponents away, and can KO at high percentages. Alternatively, holding down the special move button will have the tip of the whip snap upwards, knocking opponents up and towards her. While the held version deals less damage, it gives Zero Suit Samus an opportunity for followups.

|usdesc=Activates her Jet Boots to perform a jet-propelled diagonal split-legged flying kick, followed by a spinning hook kick. One of her best KO moves against a midair opponent. It can also be angled forward or backward, which allows it to catch an opponent's air dodge, rolls, and edge get-up reactions. The move is also a great [[out of shield]] option as it is very fast at frame 6 and is a potential KO option at high percents, although the hitbox is directly in front of Zero Suit Samus and is very small, limiting its utility as an OoS option to very close range as it will very likely lead to a punish if it is whiffed.

|dsdesc=A 720° Ce Kong Fan{{ref|a}}, a jumping technique used in contemporary Wushu. It functions as a third jump and grants intangibility on frames 3-12. It can deal damage in two ways: upon contact at the end of the jump, or by pressing either the attack button or special button during the jump. Upon contact, Zero Suit Samus performs a [[Footstool jump|footstool]] stomp, which buries grounded opponents and meteor smashes aerial opponents. Pressing the attack or special buttons makes her perform a diagonal flying kick, which is very powerful. The flying kick also has a sweetspot at her foot that can meteor smash aerial opponents but has slightly less knockback against aerial opponents. Overall, due to its sheer versatility as a combo finisher, recovery option, and an excellent tool for breaking out of disadvantage, it is commonly considered one of the best moves in the game and is arguably Zero Suit Samus’ best move.

|fsdesc=Zero Suit Samus leaps up, rising into the air, then appears atop her Gunship in the background, wearing her Power Suit. A player-controlled crosshair then appears, and after a short amount of time (or 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 (Samus)|version]] used by her [[Samus (SSBU)|suited counterpart]], it hits multiple times. Opponents take more damage closer to the center of the crosshair. At the end of the move, there is a brief pause, then one final burst is fired with enough power to launch opponents. Once the move concludes, Samus reverts to her Zero Suit and returns to her previous position.

 

 

 

 

* Jumps out of her Gunship and uses her Jet Boots to briefly hover before landing.

===Tier placement and history===

Zero Suit Samus had a lukewarm reception when ''Ultimate'' was released, as she was seen to be considerably nerfed from her last appearance, where she was a top-tier character. Many of her tools were watered down, most notably her throw combos and ladder setups. However, this lukewarm reception was reversed thanks to the myriad of outstanding results from Zero Suit Samus players. In particular, {{Sm|Marss}} established himself as one of the best players in the world after winning a few majors, while Japanese majors often saw many Zero Suit Samus players place highly, including but not limited to {{Sm|Kuro}}, {{Sm|Choco}}, and {{Sm|shky}}. As a result of these strong results, the general consensus believed the character to be a solid top tier, with players such as {{Sm|Maister}} as well as many top players in Japan even arguing the character could be one of the best in the game.

Zero Suit Samus's opponents are largely characters who use tether grabs or recoveries, like her. The only exception is Little Mac, who represents the theme of "wires" by using his wireframe outfit and Yoshi, uses his tongue, but does not provide tether recovery.

Zero Suit Samus's fighter spirit can be obtained by completing {{SSBU|Classic Mode}}. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold, but only after Zero Suit Samus has been unlocked. Unlocking Zero Suit Samus in World of Light allows the player to preview the spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Her fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with her artwork in ''Ultimate''.

{{#widget:YouTube|id=Y4PTxiq11Fk}}

*For unknown reasons, Zero Suit Samus's taunt voice clips are not present in the Sound Test, making her the only character with this distinction.

*On the [[character selection screen]], the icon in the Japanese version shows Zero Suit Samus' name within only one row, while in the English version it is shown with two rows. She shares this trait with {{SSBU|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBU|Mr. Game & Watch}}, {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}, the {{SSBU|Mii Fighter}}s, {{SSBU|Piranha Plant}} and {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}.

*Zero Suit Samus' character showcase video, unlock battles, and Classic Mode credits use "Theme of Samus Aran, Space Warrior" from ''[[Super Metroid]]'', a game where the Zero Suit did not yet exist. This may be a reference to how Samus would appear in various states of undress during the game's ending sequence, as ''Theme of Samus Aran, Space Warrior'' serves as the end credits theme for that game.

*This is the first game where Zero Suit Samus's default head icon depicts her hair tie as its natural red, as both previous depictions have matched the Zero Suit's cyan. She shares this trait with {{SSBU|Peach}}.

*If Zero Suit Samus charges a smash attack while holding a [[Star Rod]], she will not vibrate in place during the animation. This also applies to {{SSBU|Byleth}} if they charge a smash attack while holding a [[Death's Scythe]].

*If Zero Suit Samus starts charging her forward smash, the flashing effects will be focused on her handgun instead of her left leg. This is a carryover from ''Brawl'', where she uses her handgun for her previous forward smash. This was also present in ''Smash 4''.

*Unusually, the angled variants of Zero Suit Samus's forward smash do not cause the flames effects on her boot to terminate after the second kick.

*On the [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Official Site|official site]], Zero Suit Samus's blue shorts costume is placed before the orange shorts costume, while in-game, the order of the two is swapped.
