Samus has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the game's updates, but has been buffed overall as of update [[1.1.1]]. The new shield mechanics in [[1.1.0]] and 1.1.1 are a mixed bag for Samus, buffing her projectile game while nerfing her close-ranged game. The new mechanics gave Samus a number of new [[Charge Shot]] combos that allow her to break shields (previously, she only had one such combo, using a Super Missile). However, it makes most of her close-ranged attacks more difficult to land, and the only other moves that get improved are her down tilt and forward aerial (which are already difficult to land by themselves). Thus, while Samus has been buffed overall as of update 1.1.1 and is slightly better than she was in ''Brawl'', she is still poorly | Samus has received a mix of buffs and nerfs in the game's updates, but has been buffed overall as of update [[1.1.1]].

Like in ''Brawl'', this is ironic considering her status as a potent choice for tournament play [[Zero Suit Samus (SSB4)|when she is not wearing her Power Suit]]. | ||
