1) Ramirez is badass, though that art makes him look really weird.

2) Yay Zero Suit Samus.

3) Boo that it's ONLY Zero Suit Samus.

 

[Iam Canadian]

Zero Suit Samus specials?

Oh, well, Metroid was due for an update.

Standard Special Move: Paralyzer

screenshot

Bzzzzzzzzzzt! I can’t get enough of this.

A personal protection device, the Paralyzer stuns opponents. If you can charge it up for a bit, you can land additional attacks while your opponent is stunned.

screenshot

A down smash will fire it at your feet!

But this is only self-defence at best. It does not have the power of an explosive attack. Where and when you use this is key.

What really brings out some characteristic Samus skills is when this gun transforms and releases a whip: the Plasma Whip.

Side Special Move: Plasma Whip

screenshot

The flash at the tip of this short whip is quite powerful!

Up Special: Plasma Wire

screenshot

Shoot it straight up to pull enemies towards you!

These two moves can be used to grab and hang from an edge. They can reach even if the ledge is pretty far away, so pay close attention to distance and timing and aim to dangle from the edge.

Pzzzzt! What a magnificent edge grab!

Pzzzzt! What a magnificent edge grab

:lol

 

[Crushed]

DON'T TAZE ME, BRO!

 

[MindCollizion]

More Samus ass!

 

[rollingstart]

so, she doesnt seem to have anything to help her get more airtime after her second jump, I mean she does have her grapple for ledges, but her up B doesnt seem to get her in the air.

 

[grandjedi6]

THere are alot of final smashes and special moves we don't know about yet so we should expect this type of update more often as we get closer to release

 

[Staccat0]

Can't all be megatons I guess...

 

[perfectchaos007]

THere are alot of final smashes and special moves we don't know about yet so we should expect this type of update more often as we get closer to release

Hopefully they will come in the form of double updates.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Why are they putting so much emphasis on a character that will barely be playable?

 

[Staccat0]

Yeah that is bizzarre.

 

[WordAssassin]

LMAO :lol :lol

 

[Iam Canadian]

It's not unreasonable to believe that Sakurai will implement a method to begin the match as Zero Suit Samus. It's not like you couldn't start a match as Shiek in Melee.

 

[layzie1989]

meh update...

 

[rollingstart]

Why are they putting so much emphasis on a character that will barely be playable?

she is wearing a tight suit and has boobs, trying to get sexual appeal in the game.

 

[Dark Ninja]

why isn't her edge grab set to the grab button instead of the up special?

Also

NO Samus Ass special attack you dissapoint me Sakurai!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Why are they putting so much emphasis on a character that will barely be playable?

Because Sakurai has no idea what he's doing and we know everything about ZSS.

 

[Danthrax]

I like the paralyzing move. It's kinda weird that a down-smash will do the same thing as a neutral B move, though. (If I read his Sakurai-speak correctly, that is.)

 

[Grecco]

I was hoping for a better update today but oh well.

 

[Sharp]

She has to be playable in some manner other than Final Smash. Otherwise the amount of attention she's getting is seriously unwarranted.

 

[Akinola]

she is wearing a tight suit and has boobs, trying to get sexual appeal in the game.

don't forget about the assssssssssss

 

[Iam Canadian]

so, she doesnt seem to have anything to help her get more airtime after her second jump, I mean she does have her grapple for ledges, but her up B doesnt seem to get her in the air.

Clearly she suffers from Yoshi syndrome.

 

[SuperAngelo64]

That really must be it. I mean honestly, she's been in more screenshots than any other character and she will barely be playable at all (unless they pull a Shiek, as stated earlier).



Also, I don't find Samus sexy at all

-puts up flame shield-

 

[Crushed]

That really must be it. I mean honestly, she's been in more screenshots than any other character and she will barely be playable at all (unless they pull a Shiek, as stated earlier).

Don't worry, she will soon be overtaken once the real ass starts to appear more.

 

[layzie1989]

so, she doesnt seem to have anything to help her get more airtime after her second jump, I mean she does have her grapple for ledges, but her up B doesnt seem to get her in the air.

Remember the Up B attacks like this automatically reach for the closest ledge

edit:

She uses her up special move! She just manages to latch on!

edit 2: but yeah I see what you mean. I just think the auto latch is easier and better

 

[VultureDude]

woah, that whip sure has some distance

 

[Mar]

she is wearing a tight suit and has boobs, trying to get sexual appeal in the game.

It's working. So far Zero Suit Samus is the only thing in this game that interests me.

 

[rollingstart]

don't forget about the assssssssssss

GRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAT ASSSSSSS

 

[Crushed]

I can only wonder what sp0rsk comes up with for today's title.

 

[MrCheez]

Hmm pulling people that high above down to you is interesting.

Really curious about the "down smash to aim the paralyzer downwards" thing... Sounds like her ability to stun will be really useful, though. And so much easier to take advantage of than Jigglypuff's sleep move...

 

[AniHawk]

Well you're right. Nintendo let some dipshit turn her into a whore for Zero Mission, and that look has stuck for three years running. She looks nothing like a badass bounty hunter.

 

[Rindain]

I was right about it being a Metroid update, finally!

Falcon MUST be coming this week, I foresee it...

 

[tapedeck]

With all this emphasis on Zero Suit Samus Im thinking she has to be a full unlockable character at some point in the game.

 

[Sharp]

Well you're right. Nintendo let some dipshit turn her into a whore for Zero Mission, and that look has stuck for three years running. She looks nothing like a badass bounty hunter.

Oh, come on, Nintendo has never cared about how she looked under the suit in any meaningful way, not even in the original Metroid.

 

[Jiggy]

-This is the 5th Metroid update. (The 4th Metroid update, incidentally, was July 19th, so we were overdue.) Metroid is now tied with Metal Gear and has pulled ahead of Yoshi, Animal Crossing, and Fire Emblem.

-The five least recent series updates are now F-Zero, Legend of Zelda, Yoshi, Wario, and Kid Icarus. Noteworthy aspects of this: 1) Other than Kid Icarus, none of these have been updated since August. 2) F-Zero is particularly special, not having had an update since July. Make of this what you will, Captain Falcon predicters.

-This is the 10th special moves update.

-The five least recent update types are now (standard) item, Poke Ball, music, game mode, and stage. (Also, tied with stage is whatever you want to call that Snake movie that came on the same day as the Shadow Moses stage. But like bosses, I'm assuming that won't become a regular update "type.")

 

[AniHawk]

Oh, come on, Nintendo has never cared about how she looked under the suit in any meaningful way, not even in the original Metroid.

True, but there were a couple people that thought, "hey, this makes sense" when they designed her character for the original Metroid Prime.

 

[rollingstart]

Well you're right. Nintendo let some dipshit turn her into a whore for Zero Mission, and that look has stuck for three years running. She looks nothing like a badass bounty hunter.

well they made her younger since Zero Mission and instead of her showing skin, they gave her a skin tight blue suit.

in Fusion and prvious games, she showed far more skin and looked older.

 

[sprsk]

Well you're right. Nintendo let some dipshit turn her into a whore for Zero Mission, and that look has stuck for three years running. She looks nothing like a badass bounty hunter.

I dunno, have you seen what real female bounty hunters look like?

Sp0rsk! New thread title! I think we should go with the "DON'T TAZE ME BRO".

 

[Jiggy]

Also, I don't find Samus sexy at all

Me neither.

At least not since the ugly zero suit redesign. Give me Justin Bailey Samus, Super-Metroid-best-ending Samus (and I'm not talking about the outfit, which I actually don't like, but her face and hair were better), or Fusion artwork Samus.

 

[WildArms]

I don't care what you change it to but at least take this one off. It gives off the impression that this game has no Wi-Fi :-(

 

[PowerSmell]

That suit is painted on.

That's Samus after her singing career goes south and her ex-husband gets custody of her two kids.

But I was thinking of something closer to this:

 

[HolyCheck]

a slow week foreseable,
don't taze me, broham!

which looks a lot like her from Super Metroid, with the exception of nipple.

and isnt Samus someone inspired by Ripley? or am i going crazy

 

[Lobster]

This update isn't as meh as some of you think. We could've gotten a pokemon..or an item called "sponge"

 

[AniHawk]

The Metroid series was inspired by Alien. ...At least the first two definitely were. Fusion sounds a lot like Alien Resurrection too.

 

[grandjedi6]

I still want a music update :/

 

[turk128]

Love how casual Samus looks tazin' people.
