Samus (サムス,Samus) is a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. Initially teased in the then-unnamedUltimate's announcement trailer, Samus was officially confirmed in the gameplay trailer on June 12, 2018 during E3 2018. Samus is classified asFighter #04.

Samus, alongside herEcho FighterDark Samus, is ranked 20th out of 82 on the currenttier list, placing her in the lower half of the A+ tier; a huge improvement overSuper Smash Bros. 4, where she was tied withRobin at 36th/37th out of 54, and her best placement in the series. This mainly comes as a result of Samus' dynamic moveset, improved from the previous games. Samus' main strength is her powerful far-range neutral game, combined with a decent close-range game as well. For her archetype, Samus possesses a highly sophisticated variety of attacks, ranging fromCharge Shot, one of the most powerful neutral specials in the game, to her quick, short and basic hard-hitting combos. She also carries the undisputed best shield pressure in the game for a zoner. Charge Shot is fast and covers wide distance when fully charged. Not only does it deal heavy shield damage, but when slightly charged, can set up for a combo, and when fully charged, can deliver a KO.Missiles is a projectile that allows her to easily force approaches, as it covers space wide enough to catch opponents in the air or spot-dodging, and it inflicts good shield damage. She provides an excellent air game, possessing among the strongest aerial attacks in the game, all of which are useful for combos or easy KOs. Samus has a good close-range neutral game for a zoner. Her forward aerial is one of the best anti-aerial attacks in the game, as it covers a lot of distance and also inflicts heavy damage and KOs at fairly high percents. She also possesses the longest tether grab of any character in the game in the form ofGrapple Beam, which allows her to easily punish opponents that are quick to approach her on the ground. Should opponents reach Samus up close, she can quickly punish and reset neutral withScrew Attack, which has very high hitstun and knockback, allowing for an easyout of shield KO option at higher percents. Samus has an excellent recovery, with her slow falling speed, Grapple Beam, the great vertical and horizontal distance of Screw Attack, as well asBombs providing minor boosts to her recovery and serving as a combo breaker as well. Finally, Samus boasts amazing survivability, with a very heavy weight and good recovery allowing her to survive until higher percents, which could sometimes give herrage for an extended period of time and allow her to eliminate opponents first.

However, Samus has weaknesses, the most significant ones being her slow mobility and frame data. Samus has rather poor ground mobility, hindering her defensive options, and giving her a harder time against opponents who can catch up to her quickly. Samus' projectiles are burdened with significant startup and endlag. Aside from Charge Shot, all of her special attacks, especially Screw Attack, have a high amount of ending lag and often leave Samus vulnerable to a hard punish. This, combined with her low traction relative to the cast, gives her a poor out of shield game. Grapple Beam coming out at frame 15 gives opponents enough time to spot dodge and punish Samus accordingly. Samus relies on spacing with her special attacks and out of shield options to succeed against her opponents, but with most of her defensive options being risky, she would have a difficult time handling opponents that avoid her projectiles and defensive options. Therefore, Samus can be forced to use her specials less frequently. She may have difficult match-ups against characters that have better frame data and/or mobility and defense options, such asMario,Fox, andBayonetta. Many of her KO options suffer from high ending lag. Her up-smash, while serving as an effective out of shield punish option, is escapable viaSDI, struggles to hit short characters on the ground and has a lot of ending lag, while her forward-smash, though quick, is burdened with a large and weak sourspot at close range that takes precedence over thesweetspot hitbox. Samus has a poor ground game, with a forward tilt that loses a lot of power at point-blank range, a slow up-tilt and a down tilt with dangerously high ending lag. Herjab, while often used for mixups, is notorious for its inability to connect consistently. This causes Samus to struggle when the opponent is too close to her. Being tall and surprisingly floaty for her weight is only beneficial to a limited degree, as it also makes her relatively easier to punish when in the air and juggle. Finally, her recovery, though solid, is slow, linear, and predictable, so opponents with an effective offstage game will often give Samus a hard time recovering.

Overall, Samus is an effective zoner that can quickly and easily deal massive amounts of damage, shield pressure, and secure stocks, while surviving to very high percents. Samus is a popular character in competitive play, and she has a low learning curve, with basic combos and neutral gameplay that is highly effective. From the early meta to the current meta, Samus has had consistent growth in successful representation, and has seen strong results from players such asYaura,Sisqui andquiK.

Attributes[edit]

Samus is aheavyweight unique among others. She is afloaty character with slightly below-averagewalking anddashing speeds, averageair speed, above-averageair acceleration, highjumps and slowfalling speed. These attributes grant her an easier time chasing aerial opponents and forcing air dodges, yet also cause her to be juggled rather easily. When combined with her few reliable landing options and slow falling speed, opponents will also have more time to punish Samus as she attempts to return to the stage.

Samus' moveset consists of playing defensively, as she uses her projectiles to space, rack up damage from a distance and pressure shields.Charge Shot is her most consistent KOing option out of her special moves when fully charged, due to its speed and power. Missiles is mostly used for spacing, due to both its Homing and Super variants being extremely inefficient at KOing, whileBomb grants Samus various mix-ups and can aid her recovery. However, Missile and Bomb also possess valuable utility in that they can guarantee a shield break when used in conjunction with a sufficiently charged Charge Shot or a sweetspotted back aerial. Lastly,Screw Attack is a very useful out of shield option thanks to it’s very high knockback and hitstun, KOing option near the upper blast line and a viable combo finisher from aerial combo strings.

In addition, Samus has a strong air game. The changes to air dodges have benefitted her overall, as they notably improve her ability to edgeguard (especially with moves such as forward aerial or her renowned Charge Shot), while she isn't hindered as much due to her fast air speed, the ability to stall midair using her Bombs, and her Grapple Beam tether recovery's long range. All of Samus' aerials have no more than 20 frames of landing lag, and her back aerial is one of her best moves courtesy of its power, damage output, speed and range. Her down aerial can be a powerful meteor smash, forward aerial is a good pressuring tool due to its long duration, and up aerial is an excellent combo option. Lastly, her neutral aerial is a viable KOing option. When coupled with her high jumps, Samus' air game is also potent while she is off-stage, as she can recover from nearly anywhere on the stage, stay in position for longer periods of time due to her floatiness, or bait the opponent by stalling in the air and punishing edge-guard attempts.

Samus' grab game is also useful thanks to a variety of perks. HerGrapple Beam has impressive overall range and is useful in the air as either atether recovery or agrab aerial, the latter of which is potent for zoning thanks to its aforementioned range and very minimal landing lag. Down throw is very useful for starting combos that deal respectable damage and can be used with her neutral, forward and up aerials at varying percentages. Many of her combos can rack up more than 30% and when using platforms to her advantage, or string together multiple times and then be finished with Screw Attack, leading to a KO or dealing 40%-50% at the very least. Up throw is Samus' strongest throw and, unlike inSSB4, it is capable of KOing quite reliably (especially on platforms), thanks to its redistributed damage output and increased knockback. Although forward throw and back throw have decent damage outputs, their only utility is creating space and setting up edge-guards, and both are mediocre at best in doing so.

However, Samus has noticeable flaws. Samus' ground game is mediocre overall as her smash attacks are punishable, with only her forward smash being a fairly reliable KOing option due to its quick start-up lag. Her neutral attack is very mediocre, which is noticeably exemplified in its inability to connect at high percentages and thus limits Samus' anti-pressuring ability. Due to this and her average dashing speed, most Samus players will often find themselves in the air, where her strengths lie.

Samus also has issues with her recovery. Her grab aerial has very long range, her jumps are among the highest in the game, Screw Attack is fast and hard to punish, and Bomb jumping provides infinite horizontal recovery, but they are all offset by Screw Attack's only average distance, Bomb's high ending lag in the air and Samus' only average air speed and reliance on her grab aerial to grab edges from a distance. Altogether, this results in her recovery being slightly slow, linear and predictable.

Overall, Samus is a character that performs best when using her projectiles and grab aerial for spacing in order to set up combos and either finish off pressured opponents off-stage, or KO them outright with Charge Shot, giving her a typical zoner playstyle with solid close range options for combos. As such, she has a relatively low learning curve and greatly rewards patient and calculated play.

Changes fromSuper Smash Bros. 4[edit]

Aside fromher incarnation inMelee, Samus has historically been a lower-ranking character in theSuper Smash Bros. series. Even her appearance inSSB4 was mixed, as the significant buffs she received via game updates elevated her perception from "unviable" to "viable but outclassed". Likely as a result of her polarized viability, Samus has been buffed significantly overall in the transition toUltimate.

Samus' largest buffs come from the improvements made to hergrab game and her repertoire of projectiles. Historically considered among the most lackluster grab games despite her grabs' long range and her down throw's excellent combo ability, all of Samus'throws have increased utility, damage and knockback; her newup throw is now her strongest throw and a viable KO option at high percentages,down throw's combo potential was further improved due to its lower ending lag, and both herforward andback throws have more knockback, even situationally KOing at high percentages when close to an edge.

In terms of her projectile game,Bombs explode earlier on contact with enemies,Missiles deal more damage and have less ending lag, while Super Missiles deal more knockback and stall for a longer time before flying forward, greatly improving their use for trapping. Most notably,Charge Shot can now be charged in the air, used as a combo tool due to Samus' improved mobility and its lower ending lag, and deals greater damage and knockback, which gives Samus more opportunities to charge up her most threatening move. In bulk, all of these changes have significantly strengthened her zoning and punish game.

Other buffs to Samus also include many of her up-close moves dealing more knockback, most notably herdown tilt,dash attack anddown smash, improving her previously inconsistent KO potential; and her previously slow and punishableroll was also notably increased in speed, making it more usable as an escape option. She also benefits considerably from the universal changes to the engine, as the reducedlanding lag and weakening ofshields makes her aerials safer to use for approaching despite their lowershieldstun. As with most other veterans, her mobility has been improved and, when coupled with thedash-cancel, the miscellaneous buffs to her standard moves and their relatively fast frame data, and the increased shieldstun, grants her a much safer close-quarters game.

The changes toair dodges, particularly, have benefitted Samus overall, as they notably improve her ability to edge-guard (especially with moves such asforward aerial or her renowned Charge Shot), while she has one of the longest horizontal distances of any air dodge, giving her a situational recovery option; she also isn't hindered as much by them due to her fast air speed, the ability to stall midair using her Bombs, and herGrapple Beam's long range as atether recovery. Finally, the universal changes to grabs have benefitted her likely the most of any character, as not only do her grabs now have less ending lag relative to the rest of the cast, but her standing and pivot grabs now have less ending lag as well, which further improves her grab game.

However, Samus has received nerfs that, while fewer in comparison to her buffs, have drastically affected her playstyle. Her dash attack, previously a notorious combo starter and often considered her best close-quarters option (and her best move overall), it has been repurposed into a somewhat strong yet situational KO option due to its now-horizontal launching angle and significantly higher power and ending lag. Her infamously inconsistentneutral attack has worsened even further, as its first hit's lower knockback and slower transition into its second hit have removed its most reliable setups at higher percents and rendered the second hit nearly useless.Up smash has less range, higherSDI multipliers, and no longer has set knockback, which collectively result in it becoming more inconsistent than before. Finally, Samus'up aerial has increased landing lag and its looping hits inflict lower hitstun, reducing its combo and setup potential, especially on landing.

In terms of indirect changes, Samus is one of the characters to be hindered the most by the nerfs torage: while the lower total multiplier make it slightly harder for Samus to close out a stock if she is able to endure a hit, the fact rage no longer applies to set knockback removes her ability to KO at very early percents by setting up aScrew Attack with high rage (which was a commonly exploitable tactic in conjunction with her dash attack). Lastly, of further note is that some of Samus' most noticeable weaknesses from previous games remain, such as a lackluster close quarters game in comparison to her spacing and zoning games, her moveset's high ending lag leaving her prone to punishment, her susceptibility to being juggled, and a vulnerable recovery despite her access to a tether option.

Overall, Samus' changes and buffs have improved her playstyle's most noticeable attributes in her zoning and long-ranged options, and her heightened offensive power and the changes to gameplay mechanics give her more opportunities to take advantage of this playstyle, though because of the nerfs to her more polarized offensive options, Samus still relies on a patient playstyle. Her plentiful buffs have allowed Samus to perform significantly better relative to the cast than inSSB4, veering closer to a balanced, long range-based "mighty glacier", with potent KO power, generally well-rounded attributes (with particularly high endurance yet below-average overall mobility), and a focus on hard-hitting punishes and combos at both long and mid-range, while having difficulty dealing with rushdown and disjoints, which evokes her very projectile-oriented fighting style inher home series.

Aesthetics[edit]

• Due to the aesthetic used inUltimate, Samus has a sleeker design, and her overall color scheme is significantly more vibrant, now matching her color scheme fromMetroid: Samus Returns. TheVaria Suit's black vents are much more defined and detailed, and hervisor is more opaque; it along with the suit's accents are lime green rather than emerald-like inBrawl.
• Samus's eighth costume, formerly based onDark Samus, has been replaced with a black and yellow costume due to Dark Samus's inclusionas a playable fighter.
• Samus's idle animation is altered slightly; she faces the foreground at an angle instead of facing directly forward, and her Arm Cannon is positioned slightly lower.
• Air dodge's animation has changed.
• Samus emits sparks whenever she takes damage. This is shared with Dark Samus,R.O.B., andMega Man, all of which are mechanical-based fighters.
• Samus has two newvictory poses and one slightly modified:
  • She fires aSuper Missile and strikes a pose similar to her official artwork.
  • She lands on the ground and readies her arm cannon.
  • Samus retains her up-inputted victory pose, however, the shots resemble the shotgun blast from herMelee Charge Shot custom move fromSSB4 rather than small explosions.

Attributes[edit]

• Like all characters, Samus'sjumpsquat animation takes 3 frames to complete (down from 4).
• Samusruns faster (1.504 → 1.654).
  • Samus's initialdash is slightly faster (1.86 → 1.87). However, it is much slower relative to the cast.
• Samus'sair speed is faster (1.03 → 1.103).
• Samus reaches the maximum height of herjumps more quickly.
• Samus has a slightly faster falling speed (1.3 → 1.33).
• Samus'sfast falling speed is faster (2.08 → 2.168). This improves her air mobility and makes her less susceptible to juggles.
• Samus'straction is higher (0.0585 → 0.082).
• Forwardroll has less ending lag (FAF 40 → 35).
• Forward roll grants lessintangibility (frames 4-23 → 4-19).
• Back roll has more startup and grants less intangibility (frames 4-23 → 5-20).
• Air dodge grants more intangibility (frames 3-27 → 3-29).
• Air dodge has significantly more ending lag (FAF 33 → 57).

Ground attacks[edit]

• Neutral attack:
  • The first hit has a lowerhitlag multiplier (1× → 0.8×).
  • The first hit has reduced knockback to keep opponents closer to Samus (8 base/80/100 scaling → 20/15), akin to other neutral attacks. However, unlike the case with other characters, this is a nerf for Samus as it further worsens the first hit's ability to true combo into the second hit at higher percents, while also hindering itsjab cancel setups.
  • The first hit transitions slower into the second hit (frame 13 → 15).
  • The first hit has gained ahitstun modifier of 4, increasing its safety on hit at low percents, although due to the aforementioned changes, it still fails to truly connect into the second hit.
• Forward tilt:
  • Forward tilt has three different hitboxes instead of four, no longer possessing a sourspot that deals 7% (8% if angled). This makes its damage output more consistent.
  • The sourspot deals more knockback (20 base/70 scaling → 30/80), increasing its safety on hit and KO potential.
• Up tilt:
  • The removal ofteching for groundedmeteor smashes drastically improves up tilt's combo potential.
• Down tilt:
  • Down tilt has increased knockback scaling (48 → 65), giving the move KO potential against middleweights under 160%, compared to being unable to KO under 200% inSmash 4. This change brings it closer to itsBrawl strength.
  • It has more ending lag (FAF 40 → 45).
• Dash attack:
  • Dash attack has increased knockback scaling (60 → 90), allowing the clean hit KOing middleweights at around 150% from the center ofFinal Destination.
  • The early hit no longer deals less damage than the clean hit (7% → 10%), which makes the hits only differ in hitbox size.
  • It has drastically more ending lag (FAF 34 → 42), removing its combo potential entirely.
  • It launches at a more horizontal angle (75° → 55°), which hinders its combo andjuggling potential, but further assists in its KO ability near edges.
  • It produces a visual effect similar to theShinespark ability fromSuper Metroid.
• Forward smash:
  • Forward smash's innermost hitbox is larger (2.2u → 3.3u), allowing Samus to hit short nearby opponents more easily.
• Up smash:
  • Up smash has a different kind ofautolink angle (366° → 368°), and the second to fourth hits useweight-independent knockback (although not on all hitboxes), allowing it to connect more reliably when used out of a run, and making it more consistent across characters.
  • The last hit has more knockback scaling (150 → 162), improving its KO potential.
  • The hitboxes aren't placed as far horizontally (X offset: 9u/9u/-1u → -3.5u/6.5u/6.5u (hit 1), 7.3u/9u/-1u → -3.5u/6.5u/6.5u (hits 2-4), 9u/-1u → -3.5u/7.8u (hit 5)), and all except the last hit's are smaller (5.5u/5.5u/4u → 4.5u/5u/5u (hit 1), 6u/5.5u/4u → 4.5u/5u/5u (hits 2-3), 6u/6u/4u → 4u/5u/5u (hit 4)), reducing the move's range.
  • It has a higher SDI multiplier (0.8× → 1×), and the first to fourth hits no longer useset knockback. Coupled with the aforementioned hitbox changes, this causes the move to connect less reliably overall.
• Down smash:
  • Down smash has drastically increased knockback scaling (46/48 (front/back) → 70/68), with the front hit and back hit KOing at around 160% and 138% (respectively) from the center of Final Destination. It is no longer the weakest smash attack in the game by a considerable margin.
  • It has an altered ending animation, with Samus retaining more momentum from the kick.

Aerial attacks[edit]

• All aerials exceptup aerial have less landing lag (16 frames → 9 (neutral), 24 → 14 (forward), 18 → 14 (back), 20 → 12 (down)).
• Neutral aerial:
  • Neutral aerial's second hit comes out faster (frame 16 → 14).
    • However, its total duration remains the same, increasing its ending lag.
• Forward aerial:
  • The first hit has altered angles (80°/280°/60° → 367°/18°), while the first to fourth hits deal moreset knockback (15 → 25 (hit 1), 30 → 35/40 (hits 2-4)). These changes overall improve its linking capabilities.
  • The first four hits have a lowerhitlag multiplier (1× → 0.8×), but a higher SDI multiplier (0.8× → 1×).
  • The first hit's furthest hitboxes consists of a single circular hitbox instead of two rounded rectangular ones, now matching the hitboxes of the rest of the move.
• Back aerial:
  • Back aerial has more ending lag (FAF 39 → 42).
  • It has a slightly different animation. Samus faces further behind herself while kicking and curls in her leg afterwards.
• Up aerial:
  • Up aerial deals five total hits, down from six.
  • The first four hits' feet hitboxes use theautolink angle (361° → 367°) and set knockback (0 base/130 scaling → 25 set/100 scaling), allowing them to connect more reliably.
  • The hits after the first are faster (frame 8, 11, 14, 17, 20 → 7, 10, 13, 16).
    • However, the move's total duration remains unchanged, giving it more ending lag and making it harder to combo multiple up aerials.
  • Up aerial has more landing lag (12 frames → 18).
  • The first four hits' leg hitbox deals much more set knockback (30 → 90) and launches at a higher angle (80° → 84°); however, it has gained a hitstun modifier of -10. As a result, and combined with its increased landing lag, it connects less reliably into the following hits without having increased combo potential.
  • Due to its lower amount of hits, it deals less total damage (11% → 10.9%), despite the second to fourth hits dealing more damage (1% → 1.3%).
  • Its initialauto-cancel window is shorter (frames 1-4 → 1-2).
  • The last hit has a higher hitlag multiplier (1x → 1.8×).
  • The last hit has an altered animation, with Samus thrusting her foot upward.
• Down aerial:
  • The removal of teching for grounded meteor smashes improves down aerial's combo potential onstage, compounded further by its reduced landing lag.
  • The late hit deals less damage (11% → 10%) with no compensation on knockback, hindering its KO potential.
• Grab aerial:
  • Grab aerial deals more damage (1.5% → 2.5% (hit 1), 3% → 4% (hit 2)).
  • The second hit has a slightly longer duration (frames 16-17 → 16-19).
  • It causes theGrapple Beam to retract upon hitting an opponent, hindering its utility in battles with multiple opponents.
  • The tip of the Grapple Beam stays in place instead of following Samus's vertical movement, similar to how it behaved inMelee.

Throws and other attacks[edit]

• Grabs:
  • Standing grab has less startup (frame 16 → 15).
  • Standing and pivot grab have less ending lag, especially the latter (FAF 70 → 60 (standing), 84 → 63 (pivot)).
  • Dash and pivot grab have more startup (frame 16 → 17 (dash), 17 → 18 (pivot)).
  • All grabs have decreased active frames (10 (standing)/11 (dash)/12 (pivot) frames → 8 (all)).
• Pummel:
  • Pummel deals slightly more damage (1.2% → 1.3%).
  • It has less startup (frame 3 → 1) and ending lag (FAF 9 → 7), but deals much more hitlag (4 frames → 14), drastically increasing its effective duration. This hinders its damage racking ability, no longer being one of the fastest pummels in the game.
• All throws deal more damage (9% → 10% (forward), 8% → 10% (back), 9% → 12% (up), 6% → 8% (down)).
  • Forward and back throw's knockback was not compensated, improving their KO potential.
• Forward, back and down throws now use a unique hit effect when releasing opponents, causing them to flash blue with small electric sparks.
• Samus's forward, back and up throws are no longer weight-dependent.
• Up throw:
  • Samus has a new up throw: she blasts her opponent upward with her arm cannon. It uses theflame effect, and consists of two hits instead of six, with its damage being redistributed (1% (hits 1-5), 4% (throw) → 5% (hit 1), 7% (throw)).
  • It has increased knockback scaling (70 → 80) on top of its higher damage, making it powerful enough to KO middleweights under 170%.
  • It releases opponents faster (frame 28 → 16), making it harder toDI. Opponents are also released closer to Samus.
    • However, its total duration remains the same, increasing its ending lag.
• Down throw:
  • Samus has a slightly altered animation, jumping while slamming the opponent instead of only raising her foot. HerGrapple Beam also retreats earlier, no longer extending all the way behind her after the throw.
  • Down throw releases opponents one frame slower (frame 20 → 21), but has less ending lag (FAF 42 → 38). Combined with Samus's faster jumpsquat and jump speed, this noticeably improves its combo potential.
  • It has lower base knockback (80 → 60), but higher knockback scaling (50 → 75). This gives it new followup options at low percents, such as a dash attack and dashing up smash, without hindering its combo potential at higher percents due to the aforementioned changes.
  • It launches at a slightly lower angle (80° → 74°).
• Floor attacks:
  • Back floor attack no longer has Samus firing a blast from her Arm Cannon. Because of this, it now employs anormal rather thanflame effect.
• Edge attack:
  • Edge attack deals more damage (7% → 9%).

Special moves[edit]

• Charge Shot:
  • Charge Shot can now be charged in midair.
  • As with other charge specials, it can now becharge-canceled by jumping or spot dodging.
  • It can now beB-reversed.
  • It has less ending lag when not fully charged (FAF 54 → 45), now only being one frame longer than its pre-Smash 4 counterparts.
  • It deals more damage (3%-25% → 5%-28%). The uncharged version's knockback was not compensated, while the fully charged version's knockback was mostly compensated (30 base/62 scaling → 46/50), making it stronger overall.
  • The fully charged version travels faster (3.2 → 3.3).
  • Charge Shot can now be fired by pressing the attack button.
  • The fully charged version has a higher hitlag multiplier (0.7x → 1x).
    • This gives it less ending lag on hit as well as making it safer on shield.
    • However, this also makes it considerably easier to DI.
  • Charge-canceling the move incurs 4 frames of lag, rather than being instantaneous.
  • The projectile has a shorter duration (69 frames → 60).
  • The uncharged version travels slower (1.8 → 1.6).
  • It has received negativeshield damage (0 (uncharged)/3 (fully charged) → -2.5/-7), weakening fully charged shots' ability tobreak shields.
• Missile:
  • Both Homing Missiles and Super Missiles deal more damage (5% → 8% (Homing), 10% → 12% (Super)) without compensation on knockback, improving the KO ability of Super Missiles.
  • Both types of Missiles have slightly less ending lag (FAF 57 → 55 (Homing), 59 → 58 (Super)).
  • Homing Missiles last longer (102 frames → 120).
  • Homing Missiles can turn more sharply.
  • Super Missiles have a slower initial speed (0.6 → 0.18), and take longer to start accelerating (frame 10 → 26), but accelerate twice as fast (0.08 → 0.16) and have a higher max speed (1.75 → 4.2). Overall, they behave more like Turbo Missiles fromSmash 4.
  • Super Missiles don't last as long (66 → 50).
  • Samus can drift horizontally after firing a Missile in midair, and Missiles don't halt her aerial momentum.
  • Homing Missiles travel more slowly (1.3 (initial)/0.5 (minimum) → 1.15/0.4), but take longer before decelerating (56 → 85).
  • The window for inputting a Super Missile is longer (3 frames → 5).
  • Missiles have updated designs. When firing a missile, Samus's visor and armor lights briefly change colors in reference to Samus's palette changing when Missiles are selected in the originalMetroid.
• Screw Attack:
  • Screw Attack has less lag before Samus begins falling.
  • Grounded Screw Attack has less startup (frame 5 → 4), making it more effectiveout of shield.
  • The looping hits have a lower hitlag multiplier (1× → 0.5×), and a lower SDI multiplier for the aerial version (1× → 0.5×), allowing them to transition faster and making them harder to escape.
  • The last hit has a slightly larger hitbox (9.6u → 10u), allowing it to connect better from the looping hits.
  • Due torage being changed to not affect set knockback, the linking hits of Screw Attack can no longer KO off the top blast line at low percents, removing Samus's early KO setups.
  • Grounded Screw Attack deals up to nine hits instead of eleven, but has increased damage on its first hit (2% → 3%) and last hit (1% → 2%).
    • The last hit's knockback was not fully compensated (50 base/240 scaling → 56/190), slightly improving its KO potential.
  • The grounded version's last hit has a higher hitlag multiplier (2× → 2.5×).
  • The move uses unique sound effects on hit, rather than standard "kick" sound effects.
• Bomb:
  • Bombs explode earlier on contact (frame 22).
• Zero Laser:
  • When Samus unleashes Zero Laser, the jets on the back of her suit vent flames as exhaust, which deal damage.

Update history[edit]

Samus received a mix of buffs, nerfs and glitch fixes via game updates, but was buffed overall. Update 2.0.0 increasedMissile's range, which allows her to space better and deal damage at safer ranges. However, it also received more ending lag when used in the air, which standardized it withDark Samus' version. Additionally, groundedBomb's ending lag was decreased, which made it safer and allows her to act out of it more effectively.

However, update 3.0.0's near-universal nerf to projectiles' shield damage outputs hindered Samus (and Dark Samus by extension) more so than most other characters, as it noticeably worsenedCharge Shot's shield pressuring potential. Following this, update 3.1.0 improved up smash's linking hits as part of a near-universal buff.

Update 7.0.0 would later provide Samus with substantial buffs. Up smash, down smash and up throw each gained considerable increases to their knockback, which noticeably improved their KO potentials. On a similar note, early dash attack deals 3% more damage: this makes it functionally identical to the clean hit, and thus improved dash attack's consistency as a situational, yet viable KO option. Aside from these improved KO options, aerialGrapple Beam's damage output and hitbox duration were increased, which slightly improved her spacing game. Lastly, Samus' shield was enlarged as part of a near-universal buff.

Overall, Samus fares better than she did at the launch ofUltimate.

2.0.0

• Missiles follow thePokémon Trainer's new Pokémon if they switch after the missile was fired.
• Missile has more range.
• Aerial Missile has slightly more ending lag (FAF 60 → 62), no longer being less laggy than Dark Samus's version.
• Bomb has less endlag when used on the ground (FAF 49 → 47).

3.0.0

• Charge Shot deals significantly less shield damage (0 → -2.5 (uncharged); 3 → -7 (fully charged).
• Samus no longer launches herself off screen when grab andBomb occur at the same time.
  • However, the phantom knockback would still occur at the exact frame of the hitbox and the explosion.
• Created visual glitch where Samus’s tether grab beam would disconnect from her arm when performed in the air before landing.

3.1.0

• Up smash's hits connect more reliably.
• Fixed tether beam glitch from 3.0.0.

4.0.0

• The lag upon waking up from the sleep effect has been adjusted, matching the rest of the cast.
• Certain hitboxes of up smash no longer useset weight, fixing a glitch that caused theirposition vector to last much longer than usual and launch opponents much farther if the move was interrupted.

7.0.0

• Overall shield size has been increased by 1.025×.
• Dash attack's early hit no longer deals less damage than the main hit (7% → 10%).
• Up smash's last hit has more knockback scaling (150 → 162), noticeably improving its KO potential.
• Down smash has more knockback scaling (58 → 70 (hit 1), 58 → 68 (hit 2)), drastically improving its KO potential.
• Grab aerial deals more damage (1.5% → 2.5% (hit 1), 3% → 4% (hit 2)), and the second hit has a longer duration (frames 16-17 → 16-19).
• Up throw has more knockback scaling (72 → 80), drastically improving its KO potential.

9.0.0

• GroundedScrew Attack covers slightly less vertical distance, no longer being able to reach the top platform ofYoshi's Story.

9.0.1

• Fixed an issue in which Samus could fall though the stage when breakingSteve's blocks.

9.0.2

• Fixed an issue where Samus' grounded up special gained slightly less height in the first few frames, resulting in it gaining less height overall than intended.

Moveset[edit]

• Samus canwall jump.
• Samus possesses atether attack and grab.

These were the first notable Samus and Dark Samus performances in competitive play, and despite his low attendance, he was ranked 86th on theOrionRank Ultimate: Six Months In.

Tier placement and history[edit]

Initial impressions of Samus and Dark Samus inUltimate were negative, largely due to comparisons with Samus's previous iteration. Players pointed out how she lost the combo potential of her dash attack, one of her most useful tools inSmash 4, along with her general lack of mechanical changes compared to fellow veterans such asLink. Her unsafe jab, seemingly unchanged fromSmash 4 and once again acknowledged in in-game tips, became a common point of mockery. However, this viewpoint did not stick for long, as Samus players began demonstrating how her improved projectile game, KO potential, and Charge Shot shield break potential allowed her and Dark Samus to compete in the top level, although the latter was eventually nerfed in updates. Early representation of either character came fromYB, who, despite being a relatively unknown player from Japan, shocked the world by placing 13th at2GG: Prime Saga. Other Samus and Dark Samus players later followed suit, most notablyJoker andquiK, both of who became one of the best players in Mexico and Europe, respectively. As such, players in the early metagame considered the Samuses as high-tier characters.

This viewpoint was maintained in the post-online metagame, which saw the Samuses' overall representation improve significantly, notably entering the top 10 by 2022.^[1] This rise was due to the continued success of older Samus players alongside the appearances of several other Samus players on the global scene, includingSisqui,IcyMist, andYaura. Due to this high representation and strong results, the Samuses were ranked 25th on the first tier list. Since then, they continued to be in the top 10 representation-wise, and Sisqui and Yaura remained top level threats in the metagame. As such, the Samuses received a large boost on the second tier list, and they rose to 15th on the second tier list, but would fall slightly to 20th due to Sisqui’s worse results that year and Yaura’s hiatus beginning in May. But due to tier restructuring, the Samuses would now be placed in middle of the A+ tier.

Role inWorld of Light[edit]

Finding Samus in World of Light

Samus was among the fighters summoned to the cliffside to fight an army ofMaster Hands.

During the opening cutscene, Samus was present whenGaleem unleashed his beams of light. Samus attempted to fight back against the beams by shooting them with herPower Beam, but to no avail. Samus was vaporized and placed under Galeem's imprisonment alongside the rest of the fighters (except forKirby).

In gameplay,Zero Suit Samus has a separate awakening battle from Samus.

Samus can be found blocking the path of the bridge once engulfed in light and a location reminiscent ofPac-Maze. Defeating her is necessary to progress through the story, making her an obligatory unlock.

Samus is later seen among several other fighters, making their last stand against Galeem andDharkon. She also shows up in the ending where Galeem emerges victorious against Dharkon, witnessing Galeem engulf the world in light.

Fighter Battle[edit]

Spirits[edit]

Samus's fighter spirit can be obtained by completingClassic Mode as Samus. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 300 Gold. Unlocking Samus in World of Light allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a fighter spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Her fighter spirit has an alternate version that replaces it with her artwork inUltimate.

Additionally, Samus makes an appearance in various primary and support spirits. Note thatZero Suit Samus' fighter spirit is not listed here due to her status as a separate playable character (despite the fact that she is the puppet/possessed fighter who represents Young Samus).

Trivia[edit]

• Samus' pose in her official render matchesthe image of her alongsideAnthony Higgs fromMetroid: Other M. This same image was used on the officialOther M website with Higgs removed, and was used as Samus' primary promotional image across various media prior to the release ofMetroid: Samus Returns.
• Although Samus reuses herOther M design instead of her updated design fromMetroid: Samus Returns, her fighter spirit uses her artwork fromSamus Returns instead ofOther M.
• The notorious unreliability of Samus' neutral attack is alluded to in one of thetips, stating that "Foes can often put up their shields in between the first and second hits of this combo. It's safer to just hit with the first attack and then flee."
• Samus is the only member ofSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate's starting roster to be a female by default.
  • However, she is technically not the only female on the starting roster, due toUltimate including two female Pikachu asalternate characters alongside the default malePikachu.
• Samus is the only member of theOriginal 8 to have anEcho Fighter, that beingDark Samus.
  • She is also the only fighter to have an Echo Fighter that represents a separate entity in addition toa non-clone fighter representing an alternate form of herself.
• When fighting off the fifty puppet fighter army as Master Hand in World of Light, Samus is one of the eight fighters fought there, being affiliated with Galeem.
  • Out of all the eight fighters affiliated with either Galeem or Dharkron, Samus is the only female.
• Samus, Dark Samus,Mr. Game & Watch, andPac-Man are the only fighters who do not emit red-flashing eyes in the Spirit Battle previews in World of Light.
