I just got back from Yellow Stone, so I was all excited to see the new WEEK of updates that I missed. Then I saw the Samus/Zamus update...and im not thrilled. I realize that this was all posted and argued about before, but I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in. So here ya go
So this pretty much confirms the Zamus and Samus are same character, and only way to get Zamus is to use Final Smash....That really makes me unhappy, freakin pissed actually. I am an avid samus user on ssb64 (I suck with her on ssbm though) and I was looking forward to picking her up again (trying to) and also giving Zamus a try as well. But I am excited no more because how is anyone going to get any good with Zamus in the first place? So you get 1 Final Smash per life (or is it per game?) so then you can turn into Zamus for the remainder of that life (so if you save it for when you are at high damage you are screwed) and then once you die, you are back to Samus again? So to practice, you have to actually obtain the FS orb, transform into Zamus, and practice that way. NOT what I was hoping for. This also eliminates her as a tourny character b/c I imagine that FS will be turned off. BUT what if she is an awesome character (not broken though) and a lot of people become good with her, or enjoy playing with her? Oh well, whats done is done, and Im sure you are all sick of talking about Samus/Zamus, but i just wanted to bi*** about it a little bit.
