The mechanics for multiplayer mode probably won't be affected by anything in single. Again--the consequences for using FS with Sam is turning into Zam. And seeing how items are banned from tourneys, the only way to use Zam in competitive games is some sort of work-around (A-button cheat).
Single player mode has always affected multiplayer mode. Unlocking characters is meant to be done using single player mode - ending on x:x2 time in Mushroom Kingdom for Luigi, beating the game with Marth to get Roy, or beating all the Target Tests. I can't see how ZSS would be different.

you know what i just realized. i think this is a very realistic idea. i think to unlock ZSS you have to use samus final smash in single player mode or something, and then after the fight, it'll be like, a new challenger arrives. and it will be ZSS. but then in multiplayer, she will be playable as her own character...peace

If only Sakurai got his game ideas from this board.
I'm glad he doesn't. I'm not saying some of our ideas aren't good, but he knows what he's doing, we don't. Don't worry guys, Sakurai has everything under control.

ok i will...but seriously, if ppl will be so desperate 2 play as Zamus, then why DOESN'T Sakurai give us a different way 2 unlock Zero suit?
possibly the holding A-button cheat workaround. or the unlocabke thing like h1roshi described on the prev page. if even character has those cool entrances like they did in ssb64 (dont know why the **** they removed it from melee cuz they were the t!ts) they sexy suit samus' entrance would probably be the shedding of the suit

this isnt good.... i just checked my academic calendar for fall 07 semester and i have my finals from the 8th of dec. to the 12th!

oh well...looks like im gonna flunk out this semester...cuz come dec. 3rd i will be in a state of perpetual brawl
this isnt world of gaycraft, alright? stay in school (but still play smash)

he didn't tell us about being able 2 switch into Sheik did he?
i never followed the lead-up to melee but im guessing no he didnt

That wouldn't make sense. It was stated on the website that the consequences for using Samus's FS was that she turns into Zamus. The only way I can see the transformation happening is...hmmm, through the use of the Smash Ball.
First thigs first, you are corerct on the fact that it is stated on the site: "That really was her last trump card. She used a weapon so powerful, it destroyed her Power Suit."

but there are some things that are being ignored. she was announced as a newcommer, and was given a place ammong the characters in the second video. she also appears a lot throughout the pics as ZSS. okay, with that, think, why on earth would a character with so much hype built around it be limited to only a transformation? I'll give you this, I understand your thoughts, and I agree with them because of this

"This isn't a pure character addition. Rather, under certain conditions, Samus will "remove" her Power Suit. Whoa! That's a woman under there! "

thats word for word form the old site. not really a "pure character addition." but we know
Sakurai loves to mess with us with what he says and notice the plural on the "certain conditons" That hints at the posibility of there being another method. what about the pure character adition? She is samus either way, same character, just a different look and play style.

Sure, odds are leaning in your favor, but there are still possibilities for there to be another method to access the character, so it would be smart to just quit whining and just wait till it is disprooven.

Man, that didn't tell us very much. Okay, I still think that Zamus is a saperate selectable characters despite the fact that Sakurai seems intent on beating "Samus becomes Zamus when she loses her armor" into our heads. Why not make Zamus a selectable character? All he has to do is add another slot on the character select screen. It's not like he has to worry about saving space.
But having Zamus as her own seperate character slot would be even worse now. Gathering from Sakurai's working from yesterdays update he practically said that Zamus was worse than Samus and for Zamus to throw her armour, that must be one weak character. Sakurai puts Samus final smash in so when she uses it she has a conseqence and that is to turn into the weaker Zamus.

Hopefully what I just wrote is totally wrong because I sure dont want Zamus to be bottom tier.

basically my point as well

if SSS will share samus slot on the startup screen (unless h1roshi's theory on the prev page holds true)

Hopefully Zamus will fight like Ivy from soul calibur
dont play SC, so i dunno whatchu talkin' bout

Nintendo won't do this to a hot character with her own moves set, I think it's just a down side to the final smash or something.

Word to quality posts. I'm trying to be careful about the depth and content of my posts since I got owned by a mod in another thread.

The whole Zamus thing has got me so much more confused than I was a month ago. I almsot wonder if there will be soem sort of conditions like an event where you have to overcome Samus w/ varia suit and you could unlock Zamus with just the zero suit. Just look at the way she is described, as a fast character that is able to compensate for a lack of an arsenal, she exemplifies that which has proven to be great about characters from melee. Fox is agile, relatively lax in the field of an arsenal, and is a top tier character. Marth has ONE weapon in his arsenal, Falcon just has the knee ( XD ), and so on. Zero Suit Samus has so much potential to be a competitive character, that it would be an across the board shame if she weren't playable except as the result of a final smash.

but what i'm saying, is that if ZSS wasn't on the Character Screen then Sakurai would have no reason to give Zamus her own moveset. She is HER OWN CHARACTER, unlike Giga Bowser.

I agree completely(with pitismyangel). She would stand completely on her own. She's such a contrast to Varia Suit Samus, that she is in no way a clone (with the exception that it is the same person). And to be completely forward about it, it will be a dire mistake to make the final smash the only way to play as Zamus.

EDIT: and bored, noone is upset about it (i hope). and you WONT be able to play as her competitively if she is a final smash only character. XD

but if the Final Smash is only usable once, doesn't that mean that there is no final smash 4 Zero Suit Samus?

um yeah....except no. giga bowser is bowser transformed with the same moveset (or so it seems)

sexy suit samus is still samus under the suit. if sakurai wanted to be a purist, he could easily emulate regular samus' moveset with SSS' and just make the punches and licks take off less damage. and then just alter the few moves that obviously require the suit (like bombs, the charged beam, screw attack, flamethrower, and the throw which might even use the plasma whip now with the same regular samus throw animation). just a thought

Exactly! But its not just "a few moves" that require the suit! Its nearly her entire non aeirial moveset.

But from the video and pic's we can already tell that her physical attaks and special attacks are different from what we've seen.

...hehehe...Sam's screw attack...heheh...

But anyway--I agree with Del Money. Sakurai could just give Zam a dampened Sam moveset, and add the laser whip and bombs and junk that are unique to Zam.

the missiles, blaster, bombs, screw attack and upsmash are the only nonaerial moves that would need tweak that leaves all her tilts and all her other smashes. only thing that would exhibit a major changes is all her B attacks

...hehehe...Sam's screw attack...heheh...
hahahahaha. you sure know how to pick em out, dont you?

......No. You can't give a candy to a baby, and then take it away.
If anything, you were only able to get a glimpse of the candy, then they hid it behind their backs.

Getting the candy, then have it taken away would be the equivalent of:

-Getting SSS playable as a separate character through a beta demo
then
-Getting SSS removed as a separate character altogether.

Yes...ol' "Mindgames" Sakurai could have done worse...but I trust him not to pull some **** stunt like the one you mentioned above. That would just be cruel.

In the second trailer, I believe, her D-Air is different, it's like she's doing a drop kick on the Halberd Stage

no, no, no, no, NO...you got me all wrong. i was saying IF SAKURAI WANTED TO BE A PURIST THEN he would preserve samus' moveset for sexy suit samus while only modifying the ones that require the suit a.k.a the entire B special movesets of regular samus and the A attacks that use the flamethrower. BUT SSS has a completely DIFFERENT moveset from samus entirely thus proving she is a SEPARATE CHARACTER. however she is ONLY ACCESSIBLE THROUGH SAMUS as far as we know. i shouldve made this more clear before, but im hoping you see what i mean now

...hehehe...damp...heheh...

I mean... I can't believe how immature you guys are!
HAHAHHAAH DAMP, i mean ahem...i madd mature yo

It just does not make sense for Zamus (with the unique ability to toggle her weapon for two different capabilities) to be just a character based on a rare circumstance other then pure flavor. Yes, it is cool that her suit breaks and her suit parts can be thrown. And yes it makes sense that Zamus would be worse at fighting then Samus.

But to put time and effort into a character that is rare to get (and never for the whole round) is just crazy.

So I think there is a way to get Zamus to also be a playable character (unlockable). Maybe you have to beat the game as Zamus to get her. Which means waiting for the final smash ball at the last battle to transform.

So I am still betting on a Zamus as a selectable character.

cheat (A-button style) enabled = yes
selected via menu = possibly but less likely

I think we've spent to much tyme on this subject
