BAM.

Confirmed. ZSS for pros.

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 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.

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.

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

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:

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

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?

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).

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

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

YAY!

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

There will be much rejoicing.




..and on a side note.

Boobies.

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:

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.
