→‎Most Historically Significant Players: We don't denote a ranking anymore like that, these are historical lists, not active best players lists, and anything about rankings should be integrated into the blurbs.

Finally, I removed the players who have nothing written at all about their Samus, they can be possibly added back if a proper blurb is written for them.
(→‎Notable players: Removed A-wall from Samus (SSB's) player section: 2nd on a state PR with no tournament results on their page doesn't seem most historically significant. Also, updated the section to fit the Most Historically Significant guidelines.)

However, the perception of Samus has shifted more recently to be more positive, as she now sits in the lower-middle tier. The reasons for this shift are her floatiness granting above average survivability and some niche but highly potent kill options, particularly against high-tiered characters. Players have been utilizing these small strengths to get far better results than years previous, aiding to the more positive perception even more.
