SAMUS

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.

HOLY ****ING SHIT!!!!!

SAMUS LOOOKS HEEEEEELLLLLAA TIGHT!!!!

First time we get to really see her and damn it's looking sooo nice.

It doesn't get much better then this ladies.

I agree with this fellow .

Samus is probably my third best character and seeing this update just makes me foam at the mouth...

 

[The M.O.B]

That's all for the Vets,Now profiles for the newcomers.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

That's all for the Vets,Now profiles for the newcomers.

Hm, you're right.

 

[USD]

Wow, she has a serious bulging crotch compared with the Prime model.

Spoiler

DO WANT

 

[BorkBork]

Next week's updates will finally get interesting.

 

[_Alkaline_]

That's all for the Vets,Now profiles for the newcomers.

Well, for the vets that we've seen in the trailers. After all, there's still DK, Yoshi, etc who aren't newcomers.

 

[Tristam]

That's all for the Vets,Now profiles for the newcomers.

Pit is a newcomer.

But you may well be referring to characters we haven't seen. Well, Wario hasn't been profiled yet and we've seen him.

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Wario
Metaknight
Snake

are the ones that are left that we know.

Any after these are megatons. Maybe he's gonna take care of these three before E3, and then we will get a few new ones then?

 

[Branduil]

Brawl Samus has a more protruding crotch and wider hips.

 

[The M.O.B]

I'm hoping they update the look of some of the veterans.

 

[NotWii]

So it's a guy cosplaying

 

[FunkyMunkey]

Considering what we've seen so far, I don't think you have ANYTHING to be worried about*.

*excludes kirby and pikachu new models. I mean, wtf are they supposed to do?*

 

[WastingPenguins]

There was an interview where he was saying that Samus didn't like taking lots of damage when referring to ZSS.
I'm assuming you transform when your damage meter hits a certain point.

Oh really, was there? Was there an interview where he said that?

Yeah... no.

People need to stop making up interview quotes.

And ZSS. Looks like she'll get her own entry.

They should've given them porno moustaches and wrinkles to show off the Wii's next gen power.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Humn, Brawl Samus seems to be pretty much the Prime 2 model with the Super Metroid visor, a really weird arm cannon that seems to be made up just for SSBB and a buldging crotch :lol

Looks really nice and I love the shine, it's not over done like in MP1! (I was hoping they'd go with the Prime 1 or 2 model, they look much nicer than the Super Metroid one ) but WTF is up with that crotch!

 

[ant1532]

Oh really, was there? Was there an interview where he said that?

Yeah... no.

People need to stop making up interview quotes.

In the old Smash official site it did infer the transformation in Zero Suit Samus' blog though. Don't remember exactly what it said though.

Btw, OP with stay with the Samus banner for now on. (until a new character is announced at least)

 

[ShockingAlberto]

In the old Smash official site it did infer the transformation in Zero Suit Samus' blog though. Don't remember exactly what it said though.

"When the conditions are right, Samus will lose her suit and become Zero Suit Samus!"

I'm sure it's archived somewhere.

 

[Duderz]

Wow, really nice (and needed, particularly after Prime) update for Samus. She's one of my main characters, so this is a great update.

 

[AceBandage]

Oh really, was there? Was there an interview where he said that?

Yeah... no.

People need to stop making up interview quotes.

The offical site (before it was updated) said she would "lose her suit under certain conditions."

 

[MidnightScott]

Wow, it seems every time a character has a crotch people think there's a penis under there. Come on guys, yall are just as bad as NSiders...

But yeah, the artwork from E3 and the revealed artwork....the new artwork looks so awesome. I can't wait for this game.

 

[Tristam]

I'm telling you fools that Samus's model is STRAIGHT from the old FMVs when Metroid Prime was going to be in third person:

[ant1532]

"When the conditions are right, Samus will lose her suit and become Zero Suit Samus!"

I'm sure it's archived somewhere.

Hold on. Is that the exact quote? Because I don't remember it being that revealing.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Here we go.

.:: Samus ::.
No information has been revealed about Samus, except that "under certain conditions, Samus will take off her armor..." (Stated by Sakurai)

 

[NotWii]

"When the conditions are right, Samus will lose her suit and become Zero Suit Samus!"

I'm sure it's archived somewhere.

I remember reading something like this.

I hope it's not done by damage, what if I really like playing as Zero Suit Samus? Do I just beat myself up?
You're not guaranteed a Final Smash every match, so I don't think that causes the change.

Maybe the charge beam can be charged up more than usual, and when you release it, you become Zero Suit.

 

[Nintaiyo]

LOL WTF Samus has an erection, there's no way around it!
Come on, why would they do that?!?:lol

 

[Nintaiyo]

Maybe the charge beam can be charged up more than usual, and when you release it, you become Zero Suit.

That would make sense because of the trailer, but not really so much in actual battle...I can't think of any other buttons you would press to transform because Down+B is the bombs. Maybe you waggle the Wiimote to shake Samus's clothes off...

 

[BGBW]

Friday seems to be the day for some of the best updates.

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

Great Update. This game looks definitely nice.

 

[Mojojo]

Dam i love this pic
(is it the Kid icarus stage btw?)

 

[Mithos Yggdrasill]

That is more difficult.

Metroid Prime III doesn't look that bad after all.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Metroid Prime III doesn't look that bad after all.

Of course it doesn't look bad. Where did you get the impression that it looked bad?

Mojojo, yes that is the Kid Icarus stage.

I change my mind after I saw these stupid 4 screens from the NOA webiste. Do you remember the chaotic thread ?

Oh, yeah, of course. Well those screens were some of the worst captures I have seen in my life. I wouldn't take the seriously if I were you.

IGN has some really nice videos of the game in motion. If you haven't seen them for a while, watching the big federation ship walkthrough vid should reinstall your confidence.

 

[HolyCheck]

Awesome update, we only have three characters, 4 pokemon and item pills to go until the good stuff!

 

[justchris]

You know what would be awesome? Models of each of the characters and stages. I don't usually buy action figures, but I'd break the bank offer SSB figures. Especially if they had scale models of the stages to set them up on.

Hmmmm...maybe I shouldn't give Nintendo ideas on how to rape my wallet more....

 

[M3wThr33]

It looks like they made the character model too tall for Samus, so they just cut out her midsection to shave off a foot.

 

[superbank]

Badass. The suit looks very nice. Also, thanks for pointing out the crotch bulge. Its impossible to unsee it now. Why would they even add that? Maybe the Japanese devs don't know Metroid's a girl. :lol

Whats going on with her arm cannon? Indication of a fully charged shot? Final Smash? New move?

 

[Dark Ninja]

SHe probably jumped and released her grapple beam in the air and then landed on the floor
thats the grapple beam going back into the arm cannon

That sounds possible.

Did.... did you just call Samus "Metroid?"

 

[flipping_heck]

Great update, this week has been a great week for updates really, Samus looks so awesome. I wasn't a strong Samus player in SSBM, a bit too slow for me but hella powerful.
Nice to see the update doesn't say anything if Samus turns into Zero-Suit Samus... keep us all in the dark still Sakurai?!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

"Metroid's a girl!" is a joke from YTMND, I believe.

 

[SCReuter]

Here's a direct side-by-side comparison of Alkaliine's idea:

And yeah, whoever pointed out the bulging crotch, thanks.

 

[superbank]

:lol

 

[_Alkaline_]

Thanks SCReuter for the comparison. They really are quite different models.

 

[Souldriver]

But seriously, the Prime III model looks a lot better than the Brawl. More streamlined and nicer colors (but that's because Prime is supposed to be 'darker' than Brawl as a whole).
