Talk:Power Suit

Name
"Varia Suit" is just the name for one suit variation of Samus (the purple outfit from Melee). This didn't have an official name in Super Smash Bros. Brawl at all, the official name came directly from Metroid, where Samus's basic suit is called Power Suit. With the Varia Suit, Samus can endure heat. It's a power up. If anything, "Power Suit" is the correct name for this page. But then, Samus has alternate outfits in Brawl which give her different suits. As Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash is called "Power Suit Samus" by the Dojo, I assume that Power Suit should be used here. - 15:42, 4 February 2008 (EST)
 * no way. See the Fusion Suit image, isnt the fusion suit, just a painting of the varia suit 15:50, 4 February 2008 (EST)
 * Have you played Metroid games? The Vario Suit is purple. All of Samus's alternate colors in Melee where colours her suit could actually have in Metroid games. Brawl won't be an exception. Aside from that, Power Suit is the official Dojo name. - 15:52, 4 February 2008 (EST)
 * the varia suit is yellow...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samus_Aran
 * Then I've switched the colors - fact is, "Power Suit" is the name for the generic, orange suit - the very second paragraph of the Samus Aran article mentiones the "Power Suit". - 15:52, 4 February 2008 (EST)

I don't see why it should suddenly be the Varia Suit. - 15:59, 4 February 2008 (EST)
 * k...but i prefer varia

Move to Varia Suit or delete it altogether
I'm curious as to why this page exists. For one thing, the information is actually incorrect. What this page calls the Power Suit is actually Samus's Varia Suit. The Power Suit lacks the shoulder pads and is more yellow in color, whereas the Varia Suit is orange and has different properties. Sure, the information for Power Suit Samus calls her suit in Super Smash Bros. the "Power Suit", but that itself is incorrect.

Another point is that it doesn't seem to have any purpose for either the Mario series or the Super Smash Bros. series. The only time the Power/Varia Suit needs to be mentioned is during either Zero Suit Samus's Brawl information and Samus Aran's page. And there doesn't appear to be enough information for this to have its own page on the Mario Wiki, with the only meaningful information it has is "It falls apart during Samus's Final Smash". It's better suited (pun) to be on Samus's and ZSS's page.

So I'm proposing either we get this information correct and call it the Varia Suit (which is currently a redirect to the incorrectly named page), or merge this information with Zero Suit Samus and delete this page entirely (or turn it into a redirect for said pages).

Deadline: Saturday, March 18th, 2017 23:59 GMT Proposer:

Delete page and move the info to Samus Aran's and Zero Suit Samus's page

 * 1) I'd prefer this option. There's not enough info for the suit to warrant a full page on the wiki.

Comments
See, while the article is small, I think it's meant to talk more about the power suit pieces as items. Cause remember, they can be picked up and thrown, much like Green Shells or Bob-ombs (albeit lacking any additional effects outside of damage). So maybe the solution should be to clean the little article up a bit and specify what the suit is used for outside of Samus' abilities (which is covered on Samus' article)

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the use of the name Power Suit is probably because that's how the name is used in Brawl. I could be wrong, but I've read it being called the Power Suit more than the Varia suit in game. Incorrect or not, I think Power Suit can still pass as the article's name.
