1. That her emergency stunning pistol is suddenly a powerful, multi-purpose weapon that can transform into a deadly plasma whip. Where did the developers get this idea from?
2. That Mei Ling calls Samus's undersuit the "Zero Suit". It doesn't have a name. It's just what she wears under the Power Suit.
3. That people call her Zero Suit Samus, ZSS, or Zamus as if it's on her birth certificate. You know, "ZSS is hawt lol". No, SAMUS is hawt lol. I have no idea who this "ZSS" you're talking about is. It's fine to call her that in order to differentiate her fighter from a Power Suited Samus, but it's not Samus's real name.

She's a swell fighter, but she awfully misrepresents herself.

true. i would gladly give up the whip for quick close-ranged attacks and a faster, longer-ranged paralyzer (like in zero mission).

i also noticed that thing about people calling her zamus/zss. i think differentiation would be better off being samus and pss/power suit samus... but it's much too late for that D:

oh and i believe it was referred to as "zero suit" in zero mission, when she's talking about being stranded on zebes. but maybe she said "flight suit"... i'm not sure. nevermind, it wasn't mentioned.

Ay, don't make a big deal out of something like this. Besides, Zero Suit is a much better name than 'blue jumpsuit,' or whatever else you call it.

By science. Smash isn't a canon game, nor is it meant to be. Samus's Charge Shot is a massively powered KO machine in the Smash series (not so much anymore) but in the games, its simply an enhanced version of her Power Shot. And by canon, suited Samus is the athetic, acrobatic pro to which no one can match, not Zero Suit Samus.

How exactly does a stun gun turn into a whip. I don't think I really realized how much sense ZSS does not make. D:
uh. i think of it like the lightsaber. whatever the technology is that keeps the blaster shot from blasting away (that's basically what a lightsaber is. a blaster shot that won't blast away) is probably very similar to what keeps the paralyzer shot on the paralyzer whip... only, i assume the system is more "lenient" and allows the paralyzer shot more movement. honestly, i really have no idea.

yeah, suited samus is an athletic, acrobatic pro to which no one can match... but she's still more agile without it. sure, she shouldn't be able to jump as high without the boosters on her back or run nearly as fast as a shinespark, but think about it and it will make sense. either way, pss should be much faster in brawl. maybe she wouldn't be as bad. :p

The same place they got all of the moves for Fox, Falco, Wolf, Ice climbers, Sheik and Gannondorf.

The name is what it is is because it's the suit she wore in Zero mission.

Did you call Link in Melee 'Old Link' since Y.Link was the original? Seriously, it doesn't matter. And to be honest, yes, her name is Samus regardless of clothing, but with her name comes the image of an armoured fighter, and to be honest, I think everyone prefers to think of Samus as that, rather than a latex clad blond.
