Power Suit Piece
Power Suit Pieces are the pieces ofSamus' armor that fall after she depletes her Power Suit to fight in herZero Suit inSuper Smash Bros. Brawl. Any player can then pick up and throw the three pieces of her Power Suit. Each piece, when thrown, deals muchknockback and moderatedamage.
To shed her Power suit and play as Zero Suit Samus during gameplay, one must use Samus'Final Smash, theZero Laser, and she will shed her Power Suit promptly after the blast, or rapidly alternate pressing the input for her up and downtaunts. One can start as Zero Suit Samus in a match by holding theshield button while advancing from thecharacter select screen. When one does this, Samus'on-screen appearance is replaced with her suit dismantle animation, which will also produce Power Suit Pieces.
The Power Suit Pieces are considered to be usefulprojectiles in competitive play, and players will usually try to keep one on the screen for repeated use. The pieces can be thrown rather far, which is further supported by Zero Suit Samus's quickglide toss, that also covers a moderately large distance. The pieces also have decent knockback (very high for a projectile - they even have some KO power against offstage opponents). Glide tossing a piece while throwing it up is considered a solidapproach option that covers Zero Suit Samus while she canshort hop andspace with a forward or back aerial. However, there are ways to deal with the pieces, such asFalco'sReflector. Characters with quickair dodges such asMeta Knight can also grab them relatively easily if they see it coming, and if the opponent has access to a glide toss that covers large distance (most notably Meta Knight,Sonic, andPit), they can use it to their advantage as well.
InSuper Smash Bros. 4, Power Suit Pieces are no longer items. This comes with the fact that Samus and Zero Suit Samus are now separated characters, so Samus' Power Suit will no longer break into pieces after using her Final Smash, and additionally, Zero Suit Samus' on-screen appearance no longer involves her shedding her Power Suit.
