Samus Aran

Line 375:

*In ''Smash 64'' and ''Melee'', the [[announcer]] pronounces the first syllable of "Samus" as /sɑ/ (as in "saw"). However, in ''Brawl'' onwards, it's pronounced /sæ/ (as in "Sam"). This change in pronunciation is consistent with the way "Samus" is pronounced in ''Metroid Prime 3: Corruption'' and ''Metroid Other M''.

*Samus's floaty nature in the ''Smash Bros.'' series is an approximation of her physics in the first three ''Metroid'' games, which were all released prior to the original ''Super Smash Bros''. Later ''Metroid'' titles give her a significantly faster falling speed, but that has not carried over into ''Smash''.

*Samus has the longest dodge duration in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

*Samus has the shortest height when [[roll]]ing due to her decreasing in size when shifting into her Morph Ball form.

*As of ''Melee'', Samus is the heaviest character that can [[wall jump]].

*Samus and {{SSBU|Chrom}} are the only two playable characters to appear in another character's [[Final Smash]] in the same installment ({{SSBU|Zero Suit Samus}}' version of {{b|Zero Laser|Zero Suit Samus}} and {{SSBU|Robin}}'s [[Pair Up]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''), although in Samus' case, this is due to the fact that both characters are the same individual.

**If separate installments are counted, [[Palutena]] shares this trait; she appeared in {{SSBB|Pit}}'s Final Smash in ''Brawl'', then became playable in ''SSB4'', with {{SSB4|Pit}}'s Final Smash being changed accordingly.

*Samus is the first ever female playable character in the series as well as the only female playable character to appear in every installment.

**Samus is also the only female character to be a [[starter character]] in every game she appears in.

*Samus and [[Peach]] are the only female characters to have [[Echo Fighter]]s.

*While Samus' face is normally obscured by her helmet (a feature of the suit's visor in ''Other M''), her face can be seen through her visor in some ''[[Subspace Emissary]]'' cutscenes, {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}'s promotional artwork, and {{SSBU|Ridley}}'s reveal trailer, using the same facial model as [[Zero Suit Samus|her Zero Suited self]] in all cases.

*In all ''Smash'' games, Samus is the heaviest female character by default.

*Samus is the first character to be a standalone character in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|one game]] and become a transformation fighter [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|in the next game]]. She and Zero Suit Samus are also the only transformation fighters to not transform through down special.

*In the official one-shot manga ''[[The Nintendo All-Stars Free-For-All! Smash Brothers]]'', Samus assumes the role of a henchman to Phantom X, the main antagonist of the manga. She, along with [[Link]] and [[Fox McCloud]], decided to create these alter egos so the other characters can stop bickering and unite as friends against a common enemy.
