Dark Samus (SSBU): Difference between revisions

I checked the files and none of these differences are actually coded, except for shield size and rolls. Most of it is compensation or side effect so I marked it as mischallenous.
(→‎Trivia: Removed trivia that was speculative or uninteresting. In regards to the Echo Fighter point, while Pichu is not technically an echo fighter, it is still a clone of Pikachu, who is an original 12. Ganondorf/Falcon also fits this description.)

==Differences from Samus==
As with some [[Echo Fighter]]s, Dark Samus is nearly identical gameplay-wise to Samus, with largely aesthetic differences. However, she has many basic animations that are different from Samus, a more standard roll which does not involve turning into a Morph Ball, electric effects instead of fire effects for most of Samus's fire-based moves, and different models for both the Morph Ball and Missile.
As with some [[Echo Fighter]]s, Dark Samus is virtually identical in function to Samus, so choosing between the two is largely a matter of preference. However, she has various aesthetic differences, with many basic animations that are different from Samus, a more standard roll which does not involve turning into a Morph Ball, electric effects instead of fire effects for most of Samus's fire-based moves, and different models for both the Morph Ball and Missile.
