Zero Suit Samus (SSBB): Difference between revisions

|image = [[File:Zero Suit Samus SSBB.jpg]]

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|GCN|L}} or {{Button|GCN|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}} or {{Button|Wii|Minus}}. She also can transform back by using her Final Smash, [[Power Suit Samus]].

Zero Suit Samus ranks 9th on the current ''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.

*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}}, {{SSBB|Ivysaur}}, 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.
