I can understand how the description could look a bit wordy. While that's due to her design being one of the most noticeably changed among the cast, I'm willing to work with you on trimming it down so that it doesn't look as expansive as it is. | I can understand how the description could look a bit wordy.

When it comes to her height, one point of reference I used was [http://i.imgur.com/nggkmPT.jpg this side-by-side shot] comparing her appearances in Brawl and SSB4. In the event that picture isn't sufficient, ZSS herself technically ''is'' shorter than she was in Brawl, but due to wearing the Jet Boots, her hurtbox is largely similar to how it was in Brawl. | When it comes to her height, one point of reference I used was [http://i.imgur.com/nggkmPT.jpg this side-by-side shot] comparing her appearances in Brawl and SSB4.

:Yeah, I've definitely come around to your trimmed down format. I even implemented it for {{SSB4|Palutena}}'s page regarding her special moves, so I'm glad we managed to find common ground on lessening the clutter while retaining the accumulated information. :) | :Yeah, I've definitely come around to your trimmed down format.

:In regard to Other M, I don't think the 5'1" measurement is spot-on, but it's not ''too'' far off. In addition to Adam, I know for a fact that she is quite a bit shorter than Anthony, even while ''wearing'' her Power Suit. In fact, [http://www.metroid-database.com/mom/screens/8.18_25.jpg K.G. seems to be the only other person that she's definitively taller than while wearing the Power Suit], while official art even states that [http://www.metroid-database.com/mom/artgal2.php she is small when not wearing the Power Suit]. I've seen 5'5"-5'7" floating around as her height without the Power Suit, which sounds very plausible both from a real-world perspective and when taking into account her height in Other M. | :In regard to Other M, I don't think the 5'1" measurement is spot-on, but it's not ''too'' far off.

::The whole "6+ feet, 200 lbs." argument was actually born from a slight mistranslation on the part of Super Metroid's official Player's Guide.

::And yeah, she's not necessarily petite, but rather fit and toned, as shown by [http://www.metroid-database.com/m4/endings.php Fusion] and [http://www.metroid-database.com/mzm/endings.php Zero Mission] each having numerous special ending pics. Fusion, Zero Mission and Other M establishments aside, I could plausibly see a suitless Samus being 6'3" and nearly 200 lbs. of muscle if it was established that her Chozo DNA infusion and/or living under Zebes' gravity affected her physiology that drastically.
