Specials
Neutral Special: Wave Beam
Samus uses her arm cannon to fire a wave of three simultaneous Power Beams that can pass through walls.
The Wave Beam can be fired rapidly (Mash "B") or charged up to create an explosion on contact (Hold "B").
Samus can fire Wave Beams while moving and if she jumps while charging it, she gets covered by a hitbox.
(Origin: Metroid: Zero Mission)
Side Special: Missile Shot
Samus uses her arm cannon to fire a powerful missile that flies across the stage until it hits an opponent.
If held, she aims with a laser scope, then simultaneously fires a set of three homing missiles at her target.
Input backwards and Samus fires a faster missile that freezes opponents with an icy explosion on contact.
(Origin: Metroid | 1986, Metroid Fusion & Metroid Dread)
Up Special: Shinespark
Samus charges up her Power Suit, then uses its thrusters to fly at high speeds while covered in energy.
She can choose one of eight directions to propel herself. But the activation stage leaves her vulnerable.
If "↑ + B" is inputted while dashing, Samus uses her Power Suits thrusters to dash at supersonic speeds.
(Origin: Super Metroid)
Down Special: Phase Drift
Samus enters a defensive stance, emiting a purple flash of light that slows down any nearby opponents.
While the opponents are slowed down, she gains a temporary speed boost that lasts for thirty seconds.
If an opponent hits Samus before Phase Drift is used, she slows the opponent down and counterattacks.
(Origin: Metroid: Samus Returns)
Shield Special: Morph Ball
Samus curls into a small sphere, allowing her to dodge any projectiles. But at the cost of all her movement options.
She can move around the stage and jump in this form, but can't perform any Normal, Smash, Aerial or Grab attack.
Pressing "B" in this form drops a bomb that creates a plus shaped blast. Input "ZL/ZR + B" to deactivate Morph Ball.
(Origin: Metroid | 1986 & Metroid Dread)
Final Smash: Omega Cannon
Samus powers up her arm cannon and fires a stream of rapid fire Power Beams that can break any opponent's shield.
After five seconds of rapid fire, Samus finishes her opponents off by firing a stronger and larger Charge Beam at them.
Samus can aim her arm cannon upward or downward while the Omega Cannon is active, attacking her target of choice.
