'''Samus Aran''' ({{ja|サムス|Samusu}}, ''Samus'') is a [[starter]] character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Returning as a veteran from the previous game, Samus, similarly to {{SSBM|Link}}, reprises her role as a short-ranged fighter with numerous ranged options.

Samus is ranked 11th on the current tier list, placing her in the B+ tier, a significant improvement from her 8th (out of 12) position in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and her best placement in the series. This is mainly due to her effective projectiles, supplementing her KOing power and her approaches. She also has a good air game that is complemented by a versatile back aerial. Samus' recovery is among the best in the game; her bomb jumps, ability to wall jump, grappling beam, and heavy weight all contribute to making her among the toughest characters to KO horizontally. She also possesses techniques exclusive to her, such as the [[Super Wavedash]] and [[Samus's extended grapple|Extended Grapple]], that aid her approach on opponents. However, she is floaty, allowing her to be easily juggled and KO'd vertically. She is also highly susceptible to combos in general, due to being floaty, heavy, and tall in stature. Her primary combo starter, her grab, is also very laggy if it misses, though it can be extended in the NTSC version. Regardless, Samus has decent matchups all-around in the current metagame.
