Zero Suit Samus

"Is that all?"

- Zero Suit Samus

Zero Suit Samus is an alternate form of Samus that can be triggered by her Final Smash in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. She can also be selected at the start of a match by pressing a shield button on the character selection screen. During battle, Samus can become Zero Suit Samus any time by quickly performing the Taunts ↑↓↑.

When Samus finishes her Final Smash, the Zero Laser, the force of the beam is so strong it causes the Power Suit to fall off, which was seen in the E3 Trailer. Once this happens, she turns into Zero Suit Samus. Now, she is easier to KO. Players can even pick up and throw her dropped armor, which now act similarly to items. Zero Suit Samus is, however, more swift and agile than her armored counterpart, though, by the same token, significantly lighter. She can now also use a gun that transforms into an energy whip. Her whip also has a similar function as Link's hookshot. As Zero Suit Samus the only thing that occurs when she breaks a Smash Ball is she gets her power suit back. So if the player wants to remain Zero Suit Samus she must avoid picking up another Smash Ball, but a problem may quite possibly arise, as even if the player does not want or does not need to transform back into her orange Power Suit, if the player does not try to break the Smash Ball another player could eaisly break it and KO/badly damage her. This makes for a troublesome dilemma indeed.

Snake Codec conversation

 * Snake: Mei Ling, Samus took her clothes off!
 * Mei Ling: That's just her in the Zero Suit, Snake.
 * Snake: Without that bulky Power Suit, she's gotten a lot more agile... You know, I bet if I took off all this heavy gear, I could catch her.
 * Mei Ling: Um, yeah, you wish. Even without the Power Suit, all that training she did with the Chozo has made her a super athlete. I don't think a normal human could ever keep up. Just look at her.
 * Snake: ...Her loss.

Zero Suit Samus
''Samus Aran without her mighty Power Suit. In this condition, she does not have the firepower she's famed for but is in full possession of the agility and athleticism she gained through her childhood training with the Chozo. Without the armor, she's also much, much faster. The weapon she carries is a self-protection device known as a Paralyzer that stops enemies cold.''

Power Suit Samus
''Zero Suit Samus's Final Smash. Samus loses her Power Suit when she fires the Zero Laser, but she can restore it--that is, she can return from her Zero Suit form to her familiar armored form. That being said, Zero Suit Samus is very quick with great reach, so there are tactical reasons to fight as is. If that's your preference, don't pick up any Smash Balls.''
