When ''Ultimate'' released, Zero Suit Samus was considered to be moderately nerfed from her last appearance, where she was a top tier character. Many players noted how many of her tools were watered down, most notably her throw combos and ladder setups. This resulted in her being viewed as a mid tier character at best while having low tournament representation in the West, although her representation and reputation in Japan were much higher to begin with. | When ''Ultimate'' released, Zero Suit Samus was considered to be moderately nerfed from her last appearance, where she was a top tier character.

As the meta advanced, many dedicated players such as {{Sm|Kuro}}, {{Sm|Choco}}, {{Sm|Juice}}, and {{Sm|Marss}} have played well in tournaments and got great results with her, which was helped by nerfs to her most difficult matchups such as {{SSBU|Pichu}} and {{SSBU|Olimar}}. Particularly, Marss has dominated with the character, defeating players such as {{Sm|MkLeo}}, {{Sm|Samsora}}, {{Sm|Nairo}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, and {{Sm|Maister}}, while also being able to consistently make it to Top 8 at premier tournaments, even winning {{Trn|GENESIS 7}}. As a result, Zero Suit Samus was given a considerably better reception, being a top tier character as the general consensus, as stated by professionals such as {{Sm|ZeRo}} and {{Sm|Mew2King}}. Maister even claims she is the best character in the game.
