LOL! Santa Aran. If anything, Christmas will get me Animal Crossing: City Life, so I'll be on smashboards a lot less. The Santa Hat idea was supposed to be for avatars only, but I tricked out my sig too!! =D

After the holiday? I don't think Tom Nook would let you get away with something like that so easily! :p

Acid missiles? I don't think Brawl would let us inflict any status conditions on the enemy. Ice missiles would be fun. Unfortunately, the freeze tends to cause more knockback than it does actual freezing. If frozen enemies/players become frozen in place after being frozen... that would be much more useful. Imagine recovering, freeze the DK who's about to bair you in the face, double jump on top of DK and use him as a stepping stone to get back to the stage. Better yet, make frozen enemies tether-able! Nintendo is so uncreative....

I liked Hunters a lot. Except the fact that there was health laying around kinda sucked. But Freeze beam to head shot snipe was super dope. And I don't even like the Metroid Primes that much.

lolwut? MP3 was so gangster, and the beams STACK!!!
Seriously though... she's so weak in the Prime series compared to the Metroid series, what's the deal?

Merry Christmas and all that... I'm just gonna be playing Brawl and eating food.

The fact that items respawn too fast encourages spamming instead of aiming and running instead of fighting. Freeze beam? Are you referring to the Judicator? It's not that good... other than in a select few stages or if you were Noxus.

Personally, I don't like how beams automatically stack. It takes away the fun of customizing beams like in Super Metroid. Plasma+Charge beam Power Bomb combo is too sexy. It's not that she's too weak in the Prime games, it's just that the game is more difficult. You can't expect to just shoot an enemy once and have it die. Also, if her charge shot was as big as her body as depicted in M:ZM, M:F, SSBM, SSB64, etc... you wouldn't be even able to see the screen. If Power Bombs had the same blast radius as the 2-D games, you wouldn't be even able to tell what happened (and would make boss fights too easy). There are many reasons why traits from her 2-D games could not be carried over to prime, and I still think Retro Studios did an extravagant job at making the Prime series.

tl;dr:

only the samus boards could somehow turn a thread about something like Christmas into an argument about which Metroid game is better

hohoho

I never doubted Retro Studios. When I heard that a new Metroid game was going to be released, I was so happy!

Also, does anyone know if they are still making Metroid Prime: Hunters for the Nintendo DS? I don't have it and I don't have the Nintendo DS. I can buy these, but I don't know why I haven't yet. I was unable to buy Metroid 2: The Return of Samus since I didn't know of the Metroid series until Super Metroid. I don't want to miss out on buying another Metroid game.
