Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Samus



Both Samus' are good at both close and long range. But apart from that they are completely opposite! Power Suit Samus is a lot stronger at a distance, where as Zero Suit Samus is a lot stronger close up! They appeal to completely different players styles!

They're not designed to be completely defensive, so they have small jumps that limit their ability to recover from huge attacks. This is more of Power Suit Samus' problem more than Zero Suit Samus'.

Long range attacks are Power suit Samus' speciality, and they can be used in conjunction to create devastating combos even at a distance. This makes for great ways to initiate the battle, especially considering that they are very good at setting up smash attacks immediately afterwards. In multiplayer battles or when you are facing an opponent that's better than you, try to use long range attacks to avoid taking damage. The charge shot is a nice knockout move, but don't rule out the super missile.

Don't let her long range advantages keep you out of melee combat, she also has attacks designed for close range so she's more of a rounded character. Use Screw Attack if you get attacked from above, and set traps with Bomb. Samus' upward smash is very good for dealing damage, and her side smash isn't too bad at knock-outs. Instead of using her downward smash, use the standard downward attack for more damage and knockback. Use the grapple beam a lot as it's your longest-ranged melee attack. It can keep other fighters from getting close to you and it assists your long-range game.

 * Cannon Slam||Samus swings her arm cannon downwards. This attack can meteor smash opponents but it is slow. Don't use this attack much.
 * Grapple Beam||Samus uses her grapple beam to zap opponents.

Use this as much as you can, as it doesn't even suffer from landing lag!

Final Smash
Zero Laser: Samus fully charges her laser and unleashes a powerful beam with maximum power. This beam, although it can do a lot of damage, is slow and can be jumped over. After this, her suit will fall off and you will transform into Zero Suit Samus. To become Samus again, use Zero Suit Samus' Final Smash.
