Metroid (creature): Difference between revisions

When a Metroid is released, it will latch onto a character's head, slightly immobilize them, and sap their health. It can be shaken off by moving about rapidly (or with a simple air dodge), upon which it may seek another victim. It moves in a rather inertial way (like [[Super Sonic]] and [[Volt Tackle]]), floating about the stage lazily. It can also pass through walls. The Metroid does damage much like a faster version of the [[flower]] effect, except that it makes characters flinch - this makes it very difficult to accomplish anything while being sucked, and it causes CPU opponents to (rather humorously) use their [[up special]] repeatedly while attempting to recover. After it has latched (or attempted to latch) onto a character three times it will disappear.
