===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Like {{SSB4|Sheik}}, Zero Suit Samus has widely been viewed as a top-tier character ever since release. She became infamous for her highly rewarding grab combos that could lead into early vertical KO's, varied methods of setting up KO's with her down throw, back throw, down smash, and Paralyzer, her ability to escape pressure with her aerial mobility and down special, and as of patch 1.1.1, the incredible safety of her neutral aerial. Though her representation has always been somewhat limited for a character of her perceived strength, her status as a top-tier has been supported by the effort of a few dedicated professionals, with Nairo being among the best players in the world. At the same time, players would often point out the weaknesses in Zero Suit Samus' laggy grab and lackluster ground game, though these weren't severe enough to prevent her from placing at 2nd on the first version of ''Smash 4'' 's tier list. | |||
However, Zero Suit Samus has been heavily nerfed across game updates, with patch 1.1.5 being the most detrimental by making it even harder to land grabs, lowering the damage of her most frequently used attacks, decreasing the safety of her neutral aerial, and limiting the combo potential of her throws. Such nerfs would be reflected in the second version of the tier list, with Zero Suit Samus dropping 6 spots to 8th place, though she remains a top-tier character. | |||
