Samus using the attack prior to losing her suit.


The Zero Laser is Samus' Final Smash. Samus charges her arm cannon and fires a large beam of energy that deals a high amount of damage. After firing the beam, Samus' Power Suit is "damaged" and falls off of Samus' body, transforming her into Zero Suit Samus.

After the beam has been fired and the Power Suit removed, the damaged pieces of the suit can be picked up and thrown as items by any player.

The Final Smash has a range of stretching about the distance across the thickest part of New Pork City.

In a posted video, it shows Samus using her Final Smash. It lasts about a total of 4 seconds. The move's damage varies from source, but depending on the time the opponent remains in the laser, it can do from 40-78% damage. While not a One-hit KO, if used near the edge of a stage the laser can push opponents past the blast line.

While Samus is "charging" the attack, all nearby enemies behind her (as well as some items) will be pulled toward her and into the line of fire, if close enough.

The Zero Laser can also be angled slightly up or slightly down by tilting the control stick in the desired direction, though this does not have much of an effect on the laser's area of effect and cannot be moved above approximately a 30 degree angle.

The transformation into Zero Suit Samus takes quite a while, and thus is easily punished. Even if you manage to KO everyone, there's usually enough time for that player to come back to life and get into position to attack just as the transformation finishes. So it may be better to fire it far from the ground, making the opponents harder to punish her.

The move is unique to Brawl. Originally, Samus's Power Suit is lost in a crash after her starship is shot down in Metroid Zero Mission. However, rival bounty hunter Gandrayda can use a move nearly identical to the Zero Laser when mimicking Samus's form in Metroid Prime 3.

Finishing the Final Smash in mid-air does not put Samus (or rather, Zero Suit Samus) into a Helpless state, however she will fall for quite some time until all her suit pieces fall off. If she is not above a platform, this is enough to KO her on most stages other than New Pork City or Temple.
