===Tier placement and history=== | |||
Zero Suit Samus was originally a mid tier character, ranked 21st on the first tier list (September 2008). However, as Zero Suit Samus mains showed her effective aerial game and combo abilities she rose to 16th place on the second tier list (January 2009), then stayed at 15th until the fifth tier list (September 2010), where she rose to 13th place. She rose again to 12th in the sixth tier list (July 2011), and 10th in the seventh list (April 2012). After {{Sm|Salem}} won [[Apex 2013]] using only Zero Suit Samus, she rose to 9th place in the eighth and current tier list, as of April 2013. Some people even believe that she belongs in the bottom of the top tiers; whether her current position is accurate or should be higher remains disputed, but her combination of mobility, powerful low lag aerials, strong recovery, and excellent stage control with her [[Power Suit Piece]]s makes her much better than initially thought. | |||

Zero Suit Samus is [[soft counter]]ed by six characters, has eight even matchups, soft counters thirteen characters, [[counter (matchup)|counter]]s six characters, and [[hard counter]]s three characters. Against other top/high tier characters, she has six disadvantageous matchups, two even matchups, and one advantageous matchup. According to [[character matchup (SSBB)|the current SmashBoards matchup chart]], her matchup spread has the eleventh highest unweighted rank, tenth highest total, and the eleventh highest weighted total. Her matchup spread is very good overall. Zero Suit Samus tends to do well against characters who she can [[juggle]] and beat in the air easily, as well as characters who lack considerable [[range]] and ability to counter her great movement speed. However, she has trouble against characters with good [[projectile]]s, especially if they have a [[reflect]]or to counter her [[Power Suit Piece]]s. This is perhaps most noticeable with {{SSBB|Falco}}, who has both a [[Blaster#Falco|very useful projectile]] and a [[Reflector#Falco|ranged reflector]]. Zero Suit Samus also has a bit of trouble against characters who can [[space]] against her easily, such as {{SSBB|Marth}} who can do so on the ground and in the air alike. She is one of only four characters (along with {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBB|Toon Link}}, and {{SSBB|Peach}}) to have an advantage against the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, as she can outspace them with her Plasma Whip to avoid getting [[grab]]bed as easily. | Zero Suit Samus is [[soft counter]]ed by six characters, has eight even matchups, soft counters thirteen characters, [[counter (matchup)|counter]]s six characters, and [[hard counter]]s three characters.
