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:

Seriously though... she's so weak in the Smash series compared to the Metroid series, what's the deal?
fixed.
