ZS Samus' FS is what it is because of the way Sakurai designed it. ZS Samus was programmed so that when you die you return as her, meaning that Sakurai intended for her to be her own character. But, for Samus players that don't like ZS Samus, or would want to return, we now have the Crystal Flash to restore Samus' suit.

1) In the Zero Laser update for Samus' FS Sakurai states "But afterward, Samus has a problem" and "Now she’s just Zero Suit Samus". It sounds like to me that he is hinting that Zero Laser is so good, it has a flaw, and that is becoming ZSS
2) Well if you follow point number 1 this point ties in. Alright since ZSS sucks her FS is great because now she can finally do something with Samus! You get what im trying to say?
I dont know but clues like this give me the feeling ZSS is going to suck. Her Crystal Flash convinced me of it. Im planning on maining her though, that is if you can use her without items.
I don't think ZS Samus will be bad. The "just" remark seems like more of a throwback to Metroid Zero Mission, where for a point in time you were just ZS Samus, unable to do anything but a very crappy stun shot.
But this isn't Metroid Zero Mission.
This is a fighting game, and every character has to have their strengths and weaknesses. At least we know ZS Samus is faster than Samus, but not so much of a weapon-based fighter and weaker. It says so in the Dojo. I think she's going to be similar to Sheik. Her paralyzer is probably a more balanced version of Sheik's needles, her whip is probably just like Sheik's whip, but with a sweetspot (the tip), she'll definitely have a high jump but she won't be nearly as floaty as Samus. She can grab the edge from a distance and she can pull airborne enemies towards her.
How's that?
