BAM.

Confirmed. ZSS for pros.

phanna edit:

Q: How do I play as Zero-Suit Samus (aka ZSS, Zamus)?

A: Besides Samus' Final Smash which will switch her in her suit of armor to zero-suit (and vice-versa), you can start a match as ZSS by holding down a shield button between the character select screen and the stage selection menu. This can also be done for controllers in the slot of a CPU opponent to have them start as ZSS.

Additionally, you can also shed your armor at any time by hitting up-down-up on the d-pad (very quickly). If you have a FS charged, you can do this transformation and still have it to use as ZSS. The only way to transform from ZSS back to Samus is through her Final Smash. See this Dojo update (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/zerosuit_samus.html#3rd) for more.

I say, she's not useless anymore.

I went from ultra excited, to disliking her, to ultra excited again.

ZSS is gonna rock it hard.

[gamer8]

I love you.

[Darkraid]

what about wiimote? Or nunchuck?

With pictures this time!

It's R trigger for the GCN + Classic Controllers, - button for WiiMote, Z for Nunchuk.

She loses her armor at the start of the match, meaning you can throw the pieces of her armor at the beginning of the match. Unknown if the pieces are there if items are turned off, but I'm going to assume yes, which should make for some interesting match opening strategies.

Well that's neat. Didn't think it would happen.

[Ztarfish]

Kinda sucks that ZSS has the worst FS in the game though.

If I remember correctly gimpyfish said that if you touch her while she's doing hers it's like an auto k.o.

[Viper JLT4GOV]

I was hoping this as well, a lot of people wanted to play as Zmaus and they got they wishes.

Doesn't matter so much. Sheik had the worst Down B in the game but that didn't stop her from owning.

[SinisterLizard]

Ridley so would have been better than her...

[Chepe]

YES! Even with yesterday's update I knew that Sakurai would throw in an unofficial way to play as her without items! Zero Suit Samus is officially tournament friendly! And looks like she always has the benefit of a couple projectiles whenever she starts! :laugh:

[A2ZOMG]

Zelda may be pretty low tier, but nah, Sheik's Down-B ain't the worst. Zelda can be used for a long range Up-B, and she has other good attacks such as Naryu's love, and a much longer range F-air that also owns. Mario's Down-B by far is probably the worst. It's a mediocre recovery move, and his worst attack.

On topic: I hear ZSS is fairly combo oriented unlike Samus. I wonder if on the other hand she lacks killing strength. Killing strength seems to be more emphasized in Brawl, and less prominent in the faster characters, so I dunno, what do you think?

[Icetrash]

Ohhh this is the best news yet out of all the spoilers out there. Thats if you include this as a spoiler. ZSS is now offcially my main (DK or Lucario could steal her no.1 when I actually play).

[drengist]

Any idea if you can switch to normal Samus in the middle of the match without Smash Balls? When you're killed perhaps?

[gamer8]

Thanks man, this is helpful.

[fear4]

Dude, you've really got to get past this. ZZS ftw! This is the best news we've had today...granted I only woke up 20 minutes ago, but still.

[The Alpha Gundam]

**** YEAH ZSS FOR BRAWL AGAIN LOL

[Archenyte]

This was the most interesting thread of the day. I'll try ZSS sometime after I try the Kirby characters =).

[PB&J]

yeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssss....im adding her to my supreme team

[gamer8]

zamus is awasome.

[rtmcs1017]

YAY!

I was afraid she wasn't going to be selectable, but now its proven she is!

There will be much rejoicing.

[gamer8]

Boobies.

Lol, gotta love em.

[Peach Tree]

Oh lawd yes =].

[-NEOLINK-]

yay Zamus tourny playable.

[Habanero Pepper]

Ha ha, *Applauses w/Gitty Laughter*. The hottness that is samus' booty is finally mainstream baby!!!

[Jellybelly]

Great news.And like someone mentioned earlier, Zamus looks like a pretty good character, with a *****in edge grab.

[Starry Might]

I discovered that when I saw the new Japanese "SSBB" gameplay video on GameTrailers.

This is so awesome! (*POINTS TO AVATAR*) I'd rather be Zero Suit Samus than regular Samus because I think she looks way cooler without her armor (which makes her look like a robot), and now I don't have to do a Final Smash as her vanilla form to do it! Woo-hoo! :chuckle:

[Chaosblade77]

On topic: I hear ZSS is fairly combo oriented unlike Samus. I wonder if on the other hand she lacks killing strength. Killing strength seems to be more emphasized in Brawl, and less prominent in the faster characters, so I dunno, what do you think?

I'd like to play as her first (and I honestly am looking forward to using her) before I really throw this out there, but her Fsmash does not look bad. Could easily be used for KOing in quite a few circumstances due to it's range. However, before I really stand by that I'd rather play first.

Great that she is a full character though, I was pretty disappointed while was in the mindset she was only playable after Samus's FS.

[gamer8]

I posted this at gametrailers yesterday, and nobody even heard of this before I posted it... lol...

Zero Suit Samus won my Favor.

[Bad News Bryant]

nice, i'm really glad that they put that ability in there

[The True Face of Stupid]

Hum, I wonder if this'll work with the CPU.

[Yeroc]

Consider changing the title to "any shield button"? Not everyone (even presuming most) will be using a controller that has R on it.

[fishsticks]

One of my friends in Japan was complaining to me that holding A down after picking Samus wouldn't make her transform to ZSS; he wanted to main her. Then I told him to hold down R and he promptly started swearing. xD
