Samus is a playable character in the Brawl mod Project M. For her appearance in Project M she has been restored to her Melee version with considerable buffs and an entirely new alternate moveset that can be accessed via a taunt.

Attributes

Changes from Melee to PM

  • Buff Rolling animation is significantly faster, and it has been changed to a conventional side-step animation.
  • Buff Can now crawl, with a similar animation to her previous roll, and has gained a new crawl attack based off of the boost ball from Metroid Prime.
  • Buff 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.
  • Buff Super wavedash timing window increased from one frame to two frames.
  • Buff Charge Shot can now be charged while airborne.
  • Buff 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.
  • Nerf Can no longer use the extended grapple.
  • Change Forward smash now has a flame effect, akin to Super Smash Bros. 4.
  • Change Samus can no longer change into Zero Suit Samus in mid-match with her taunts.
  • Change Up taunt replaced with her Melee taunt.
  • Change 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.
