Zero Suit Samus (SSBB): Difference between revisions

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 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===

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.
