About

Zero Suit Samus (ゼロスーツサムス, Zero Sūtsu Samusu?), often abbreviated as ZSS, 0SS or Zamus is a character that appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Zero Suit Samus lacks power and stamina compared to Samus, but is faster. She uses a gun known as the Paralyzer, which can also be converted into a Plasma Whip, which can be used for a tether recovery, similar to Samus's Grapple Beam. The only game in which Zero Suit Samus is playable is Metroid: Zero Mission. While Samus is without her power suit in this game, her only form of attack is the paralyzer pistol, which does nothing but shoot paralyzing shots. The idea of a whip coming out of it was created for use in Brawl. Zero Suit Samus is voiced by Alesia Glidewell, who also voices Krystal from Star Fox and the assist trophy Knuckle Joe.

The impact from Samus's Final Smash is enough to remove her Power Suit, transforming her into Zero Suit Samus. Zero Suit Samus is able to transform back into normal Samus by using her Final Smash, which causes her to get her suit back while performing a move similar to the Crystal Flash from Super Metroid.


Attributes
Zero Suit Samus is undeniably a finesse character. She can dash quickly, crawl, has decent air speed, and wall-jump. A player of Zero Suit Samus must know precisely when to use her few moves with killing potential so as not to devalue them due to Stale-Move Negation. That having been said, however, Zero Suit Samus can definitely rack up damage. All of her tilts are quick, with decent range, and have the added bonus of launching her opponents into the air. Her aerial game is powerful with lethal kicks and long-ranged attacks. A good player can use this to their advantage. Her projectile, the paralyzer, can set opponents up for kills and does a little bit of damage. However, it's slow and needs to be charged up to go far. Her smashes also compliment her perfectly. Her up and down smashes are useful for their range and priority. The down smash is perfect for kill set ups, and the up smash makes for an excellent buffer/launcher. However, Zero Suit Samus is a light character (especially for her height) and she has weak attacks overall in terms of knockback. She has a very high short hop, which makes approaches with aerials difficult. Her grab has good range due to being a tether grab, but it leaves her vulnerable if it misses which is dangerous for a such light character. Her recovery can be stopped by edge-hogging because it is mostly a tether recovery. All in all, however, Zero Suit Samus is an asset to anyone who plays Samus.
