Samus, alongside her [[Echo Fighter]] {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}, is ranked 25th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing her in the A+ tier. This is a significant improvement over ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', where she was tied with {{SSB4|Robin}} at 36th/37th out of 54 and her best placement in the series. Samus possesses several moves that are generally quite strong, allowing her to easily [[KO]] her opponent up close and from afar. Her aerials are all strong and can be used to either rack up damage in combos or to KO opponents. Her specials all have their uses, especially [[Charge Shot]]: the weak variant is used to set up combos or a KO, while it can act as a viable KO option when fully charged. Finally, Samus has some of the highest endurance out of anyone in the roster due to her high weight and extremely flexible recovery, and she can easily return to the [[stage]] due to her variety of recovery options. | Samus, alongside her [[Echo Fighter]] {{SSBU|Dark Samus}}, is ranked 25th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing her in the A+ tier.

Despite all these positives, Samus has some weaknesses that can hold her back. Samus relies on spacing to succeed, and often struggles against those who can either get into her space quickly or avoid her projectiles. Samus has poor grounded options if an opponent is close to her, as her tilts are too slow to alleviate her opponent's pressure. Finally, her best KO moves all have their own issues, such as her forward smash having a weak [[sourspot]] that takes precedence over her [[Sweet spot (hitbox)|sweetspot]] and her [[up smash]] being escapable via [[SDI]]. | Despite all these positives, Samus has some weaknesses that can hold her back.
