Samus in Project M and Project+

Universe	Metroid
Base game appearance	Brawl

Samus is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M.

Attributes

Changes from Melee to PM

• Rolling is significantly faster, and it uses a conventional side-step animation.
• Can now crawl, with a similar animation to her old roll, and gains a new crawl attack based off of the boost ball from Metroid Prime.
• Can now swap between flame and ice beam types with side taunt; this affects her down tilt, forward smash, forward aerial, up smash, and Missiles. Taunt canceling this will still result in a beam switch. This gives Samus a new repertoire of altered attacks to work with, allowing players to be more creative in their styles.
• Retains the super wavedash, and its window of time to perform has been aditionally increased from one frame to two frames.
• Charge Shot can now be charged while airborne.
• Grapple Beam has shorter reach, but is much faster in both start-up and ending lag, similar to Link's Clawshot. Dash grab retains its speed unchanged but it now has the same range as the standing grab.
• Can no longer use the extended grapple.
• Forward smash now has a flame effect, akin to Super Smash Bros. 4.
• Samus can no longer change into Zero Suit Samus in mid-match with her taunts.
• Up taunt replaced with her Melee taunt.
• While most characters in Project M keep their Brawl voices and sounds, Samus uses SFXs from Melee for her jumps, Charge Shot and Screw Attack.

Revisions

3.01

• Samus can drift properly after an aerial Charge Shot.
