BIOGRAPHY:
Respected by friend and foe alike, Samus Aran is known and feared as one of the toughest bounty Hunters in the galaxy.Samus's battles against the parasitic Metroid life-forms and the vile Space Pirates are nothing short of legendary-she's encountered and thwarted both numerous times while on missions for the Galactic Federation.Even though she's human, Samus was raised by the chozo-the same alien race responsible for creating her intimidating Power Suit.Not only does the suit act as armor, but it can be equipped with an assortment of upgrades that grant Samus a wide array of offensive, defensive, and reflex-enhancing capabilities.

Her name is Samus Aran. She joins us from the Metroid games.
Look at her Power Suit shine!

Her arm cannon is equipped with a variety of weapons.
Mastering all of them is the first step toward victory.

Final Smash

<Zero Laser>

Don’t fire! Do NOT fire that laser!

Why? ...Well, because it really hurts!

MAXIMUM CHARGE!

Now, fire! Whoa, that’s huge!

That weapon is extremely powerful. Her opponents’ damage meters skyrocket!

...But afterward, Samus has a problem.

All of her armor fell off!

Now she’s just Zero Suit Samus.

That really was her last trump card. She used a weapon so powerful, it destroyed her Power Suit.

Now it’s time for Zero Suit Samus to show what she can do.

It looks like you can throw the pieces of her suit that end up on the ground.

Hey. Stop that... QUIT IT! I mean it!

Take that!

Special Moves

When she’s wearing her Power Suit, Samus is actually quite agile. She’s also very easy to control in the air. So she must be able to perform a lot of good midair moves, right?

When doing a forward midair attack, Samus can get consecutive hits.

Her back midair attack, the flying back kick, is quite strong if you get a clean hit.

Samus’s down midair attack is a meteor smash.

You can even use the grapple beam in midair!!

But, she doesn’t have any moves that launch foes upward...and that makes stages like Shadow Moses Island a little difficult.

<Side Special Move: Missile>

You can use two types of Missiles.

The normal Missile is a guided projectile.

The Super Missile flies straight ahead.

The normal Missile will home in on enemies, but the Super Missile has more speed and destructive power.

To launch the Super Missile, do a side smash move and hold the special-move button. If you’re using the Wii Remote held sideways, press and hold the 1 Button and the direction.

<Standard Special Move: Charge Shot>

If you’re going to use Samus, you can’t forget the Charge Shot. Just keep your cool and charge up the shot.

Charge up! If things get dangerous, you can always save your charge with the shield button.

Even if you’re fully charged, you don’t have to use it immediately!

Shoot someone who has a lot of damage!

Mario, Fox, Zelda, Pit, Lucas, and the like should watch Samus carefully. If there’s a chance, those characters should try to reflect or absorb these attacks.

The End!!
