Samus is a tall heavyweight character that is also rather [[floaty]], an uncommon trait for most heavyweights. She has the 4th fastest [[dashing]] speed, but combined with the 4th slowest [[air speed]], second slowest [[falling]] speed, and a long and slow [[roll]] heavily decrease her mobility. She has decent [[range]] and also has two [[projectile]]s, including [[Charge Shot]], which covers a great distance and is fairly powerful, being quite useful for keeping opponents at bay, but requires a large amount of charging to have KO power, and {{b|Bomb|Samus}}, which can aid her horizontal [[recovery]]. [[Spacing]] works quite well with Samus, with her forward tilt and back aerial being useful. However, she has a high and slow [[short hop]]. Her [[grab]] is one of the three tether grabs in the game, giving it excellent range, but has sixty frames of ending lag, making it the laggiest grab in the game. Her back throw is a powerful KO throw and is also tied with {{SSB|Pikachu}} and {{SSB|Donkey Kong}}'s back throws for the most damaging throw in the game. Her biggest flaw however is her notorious inability to perform a [[zero-to-death]] combo with her regular moves, though to compensate, she escapes many zero deaths with her floaty weight and [[Screw Attack]]. Her [[dash attack]] can set up tech chases, leading into a down tilt and a down air to kill; however, this is not a true combo at all percents. In addition, her down-air may not kill heavier characters such as herself or [[Donkey Kong (SSB)|DK]]. | Samus is a tall heavyweight character that is also rather [[floaty]], an uncommon trait for most heavyweights.

Overall, most of Samus's moves, while doing over 10% in most cases, have a high amount of ending lag. As a result of that, she lacks easy-to-land KO options, apart from her down aerial, which is an extremely fast [[meteor smash]]. While Samus's dair is a great edgeguarding move, especially against slow recoveries like [[Kirby (SSB)|Kirby]]'s or [[Jigglypuff (SSB)|Jigglypuff]]'s, she has poor to mediocre edgeguarding ability outside of it, and her primary recovery move, the {{b|Screw Attack|move}}, travels extremely short horizontal and vertical distance, giving her a very poor vertical recovery. Her horizontal recovery, while still short and predictable, is slightly aided by her floatiness and Bombs. She is vulnerable to edgeguarding herself; an aerial Charge Shot can help | Overall, most of Samus's moves, while doing over 10% in most cases, have a high amount of ending lag.

Samus is known for being the only character in ''Smash 64'' who cannot [[0-death]] easily, though her floatiness and Screw Attack can slightly help her escape combos. Posting a legitimate Samus combo is considered to be an inside joke in the ''Smash 64'' community, as there are players who state that Samus has no [[combo]]s and that it is virtually impossible to make a combo video of her without hacking. | Samus is known for being the only character in ''Smash 64'' who cannot [[0-death]] easily, though her floatiness and Screw Attack can slightly help her escape combos.
