Samus (SSBB): Difference between revisions

* Samus (along with {{SSBB|Olimar}}, {{SSBB|R.O.B.}}, and {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}) never talks or makes any verbal noises. The only sounds she makes are those of her attacks and [[Star KO]] cry. However, she has a voice as {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}.

* In ''[[Brawl]]'', if a player selects Samus using a Wii remote or classic controller, her midair jump sound from ''[[Melee]]'' will sound in the Wii Remote's speaker despite the fact that she makes completely different noises in ''Brawl''. She shares this trait with {{SSBB|Kirby}}, {{SSBB|Peach}}, {{SSBB|Bowser}}, and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}}.

* Throughout normal game play, Samus' visor is opaque. The only time the player can see her face from behind her visor is in the [[Subspace Emissary]], where she looks at [[Pikachu]] after retrieving her [[Power Suit]].

* In the Subspace Emissary, even though Ridley damages Samus before battling her with Pikachu, Samus' damage is at 0% when the battle actually begins.

* Despite wearing her default color during a Team Battle while on the red team in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Melee]]'', in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', her red team color is switched to be her pink and red suit. This is likely to avoid confusion as Samus's default color is orange while {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}} wears light blue in her default color.

** ''Brawl'' marks the only installment where Samus cannot use her default costume in Team Battles, and also the only installment where Samus and Zero Suit Samus are transformation characters.

* Samus, {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, {{SSBB|Diddy Kong}}, {{SSBB|Fox}}, and {{SSBB|Lucas}} are the only characters in the Subspace Emissary to fight more than 2 bosses (excluding boss re-creations in the Great Maze). Samus can be chosen to fight [[Ridley]] in [[The Research Facility Part II]], [[Meta Ridley]] in [[The Subspace Bomb Factory (Part II)]], and [[Tabuu]] in the final battle at Tabuu's Residence.

* Whenever Samus uses her red costume, her battle portrait will have her face zoomed in a little closer compared to the rest of her costumes.

* This is the only game where Samus has a unique design that is not reused in a later game.

** The director later would claim that this design were based on [[metroidwiki:Super Metroid|Super Metroid]],<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQD1yJinzeQ&t=127s |title=Wii U & Nintendo 3DS Developer Direct |accessdate=2021-07-09 |date=2014-07-11 |publisher=Official Nintendo YouTube channel |quote=Until now Samus was based off the design from Super Metroid, but she's been given a major makeover. Her design is now closer to that of Metroid: Other M. }}</ref> although it bears more similarity with to the one shown in ending screens of [[metroidwiki:Metroid: Zero Mission|Metroid: Zero Mission]], which in turn is very similar to ''Super Metroid''.

* Samus' render pose resembles her "Smash Red" trophy pose in ''Melee'', but with her left foot forward instead of her right foot, and with her free hand in a fist instead of on her Arm Cannon. Both poses resemble a shot from the end of Super Metroid.

* Samus teaming up with Pikachu in the SSE might be a reference to Pyonchi, her pet in the manga.

* Samus, the {{SSBB|Ice Climbers}}, {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}, {{SSBB|Mr. Game & Watch}}, and {{SSBB|Ganondorf}} are the only characters whose icon in the Subspace Emissary and the Sticker menu is not based on their renders.
