Samus (Super Smash Flash)

Samus is the only character representation of the Metroid universe. Samus' sprites were ripped from Metroid Fusion. Curiously, those sprites were not from Samus, but were taken from her clone-enemy, the SA-X. Samus uses a variety of beams in her attacks. uses a similar moveset so he could be considered a semi-clone of her.

Samus is ranked 14th on the tier list. Samus has the longest non-projectile range in the game with her machine gun attacks. These attacks also double as Samus' instant kill moves, giving her some of the best kill options in the game. She has good close range options, as her Morph Ball has the smallest hitbox out of all the rolling moves and her Screw Attack allows her to deal damage when jumping.

However, Samus' machine gun attacks erroneously increase her hurtboxes to ridiculous sizes, allowing enemies to hurt her by attacking the beam instead. All three of these attacks also have a long cooldown time shared between them, preventing her from using half of her moveset until it expires. In addition, her Power Beam attack is overall lackluster and has a slow firing rate. Her mobility is only average at best as she can be difficult to control when turning since her sprite isn't centered properly.

Samus' pros slightly overshadow her cons, allowing her to rank in the higher mid tier.

 * Additionally, her jump animation is the Screw Attack, who also serves as an attack.
