Zamus Cracks the Whip. I'm not Mic.

[kirbykid]

I’m filling in for Mic. You guys know the drill. Let’s keep this short and simple.
<p align="center">&lt;Standard Special Move: Paralyzer&gt;</p>

<p align="center">“Bzzzzzzzzzzt! I can’t get enough of this.” Me neither Sakurai… Me neither<!--more--></p>
Sounds like you can’t store up the charge like Samus’s Max shot. Because this move has unique stunning properties, I would doubt that they would let you charge it up to max and then run around.

A down smash will fire it at <strong>PIT’S</strong> feet!

This is excellent news. We knew that Sakurai was making the character move sets more dynamic. But now with Snake, Zamus, and possibly Mario, we have moves that cross the Special/Standard moves divide. If you can store the charge, can you release it through the down smash?

The whip has a Tip. Ahhh. Hear that sound. That’s the end of smash as we know it.

<p align="center">Shoot it straight up to pull enemies toward you!</p>
The question is, will Zamus pull the enemies down to her, will she fly up where they were, or will they meet in the middle? Depending on the answer, I already have hilarious ways to counter this female fiend.

Yes, she’s already one of my enemies, as well as all other Shiek-Marth hybrids.

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

I really Hope her Plasma Whip Special can make combos like Marth's <or>B special....

 

[Abulize]

Sheik with lazers.. hax!

 

[ChozoChampion]

I beleive their pulled down but im wondering if this counts as a grab or not. this update was great for me though. being my sole strategy for samus is countering with her moves when i do change to zamus i can still focus on counters.

 

[raphtmarqui]

I think its now safe to say that Zamus will be able to be selected separately.

 

[Homelessvagrant]

Wow, Kirby filling in, I lol'ed. Why? because I just posted a clan letter and in our column "Around the Boards" I poked at such a happening.

Really I like having seen Kirbykid do one of these posts. He somehow added his style along with it. It was short sweet and yet not a repeat of the dojo post. I am curious to what happened to Mic though. I hope he will be back soon.

 

[Max780]

I think its now safe to say that Zamus will be able to be selected separately.

I hope so. It would be kinda dumb to only play as her after the final Smash.

 

[abit_rusty]

I think its now safe to say that Zamus will be able to be selected separately.

I was hoping this too, and things look closer to it being true. Certainly there will be people who plan on maining her soley rather than samus. (much like sheik/zelda)

Also it seems like, her up+b whip will be aim-able. Like firefox, there willl be some sort of animation of her pulling it back, during which maybe you could direct it? Just a guess.

I agree some people my prefer Samus over Metriod. Surely the non-Hardcore gamers.

Off Topic~

Has there been any confirmation the Sheik is returning?
pm me the answer since it is off topic.

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

or maybe she'll go back to her using the power suit after a certain time limit....

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Nice update. But now we have to go through one more showing us her dB. Any thoughts on what it might be? Maybe it will be the way to transform back into Samus.

And I wonder what the difference in recovery will be for hitting fB from hitting uB. fB for distance, uB for height most likely. But let's say, hypothetically, you want to recover but an enemy is hanging around the ledge. Will your whip go for the ledge, or will your enemy have found a way to stop you from recovering properly?

Also, I'm a little confused to how the nB works. Is it: tap/hold B to charge, shoot a stream of paralyzer shots, smash down while in the middle of the bursts to aim at their feet? That's what it sounds like to me. And will you be able to aim upwards as well?

All in all, Zamus is looking fantabulous. I'm really hoping there's a way to play as her without having to get a FS with Samus, and I'm hoping there's a way to transform back to Samus (just incase I end up not liking Zamus.)

 

[jamminjohn]

He meant down smash B instead of down tilt B. Think Samus' homing missile vs strong missile.

 

[AniMaL 214]

how could she transform back to samus is her gear that she threw at poeple already going to magically come back to her ACTUALLY I KNOW WHAT IT IS look in one of the trailers the newer one actually i remmeber seeing its kinda like yoshis down b she like but slams 2 the ground they show her doing it could be a dair but i doubt it she was falling 2 fast

Love that idea! That would be the best thing for her! That sounds like the kind versatility this move would need to bring Zamus to High Tier.

 

[Wii Wanderer]

So in team adventure the princess you rescue becomes part of your team.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Sorry for the double post...

It wouldn't matter if her armor pieces were being thrown around, have you ever seen Samus put her suit on in the games? It just appears out of nowhere. But I did forgot about that gravity plummet, I think that will be her dB, too.

Maybe it'll be like the "gravity defier" move. Like how the ICs can low-traction surfaces, Zamus can defy low-gravity situations.

 

[AniMaL 214]

I never knew that samus actually did take off her suit in one of the games i mean ive played them but their mad hard lol but i thought sakurai made it up hopefully its like a sheik zelda thing where b4 the level starts u hold down a nd transform b4 the match nd also max780 they did indirectly confirm sheik nd ganon

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

^^^^
Well, if we ever find out of Zamus gets a FS, then we will know whether or not she can be selected pre-battle.

 

[AniMaL 214]

good point am i the only1 that thinks these smashes like snakes nd now zamus is well odd

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

hmm...If I not mistaken Zamus has the longest range when it comes to her ^B: Plasma Wire

or it can also releive ppl from that one smash ball per match theory...or rumor...or truth or what ever u kno what I mean XDDDD

...What?

hmm...If I not mistaken Zamus has the longest range when it comes to her ^B: Plasma Wire

The Fire Fox might have a range that's just as long, if not longer. And now that I think about it, there's Pikachu's Quick Attack . But if you're talking about in terms of a projectile, then you have to take into account PKThunder and Yoshi's Egg Toss.

In any case, no, I don't think Zamus as the longest uB range.

 

[AniMaL 214]

doesnt matter i dont plan on using zamus im gonna use my main man diddyyyy

 

[AniMaL 214]

i mean like how there not smashes there weapons kind of liek a down smash shoots at there feet instead of her doin like a side sweep with her legs

 

[MetaKnight'sSword]

...What?

oh yeah thats right I forgot about the PK Thunder and Egg Throw, thanx for correcting me Senor (^^)v

 

[Metal B]

ZSS Up+B is the third Anti-Air Special-Move. The other two use Snake and Ivysaur.
They will probably the counter characters of the flying characters, like Pit, Meta Knight, etc. I also hope there are some moves or charaters against speed characters, like Fox and Shiek. =)

Hmm ...by the way ZSSs Paralysator could already be a Anti-Speed Special-Move =)

 

[quithas]

Hot to hot to handle

Dam Zero Suit Samus is so hot I would so do her if she was real. I cant wait for this game Im hoping I will be able to get it. I already preordered it but I have no job and no money. I have been waiting for awhile for job now and Im starting to get scared I might not get one before the game comes out. Damit I want this game so bad.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH 777]

OM(F)G!! no way!! not even if she would have her sheik transform!!
no, really, I just juggle with her till she has some damage and then, with a well-timed arial, left right or up, and she already K.O. ... lame **** *oops...did I say that out loud??*

 

[AniMaL 214]

k dude calm down I was just joking...my god I like Peach too just calm down XDDDDDDDDDDDD ROTFLMFAO

On Topic: Wonder how Zamus actually grabs ppl.....by hand...or by her whip again like her ^B move....

 

[AniMaL 214]

standard b = amazing edge guarding move? do u think thell just stop like in mid air nd drop cuz there paralyzed

 

[Not A Naruto Wannabe]

What I'm wondering is if the up B will be able to be aimed (like the side B will obviously be able to). look at the up B pic again - it looks slightly curved towards Pit on the way up.

Interesting.

 

[AniMaL 214]

ya it does mayb it goes to the closest thing 2 it like samuses rigged grab when u hold down l lol

 

[neoREgen]

I'm betting that if you want to turn back into Samus (regular suit), you won't just be able to hit down + B- you'll have to get another Smash Ball. Likely something will trigger like Samus' ship coming in for an air raid, picking her up along the way, and afterwards it swoops down to drop her off completely regeared. This was a friend's idea (a friend who doesn't post).

Maybe having the up + B and side + B moves be both power whips will allow diagonal up + side + B to be used as the whip as well, providing a wide variety of directions to swing that thing?
I bet the whip is going to lag pretty bad.

yeah thats what I was thinking For Zamus' FS ever since they revealed her XDD....hmm...aslo about the vB move..........what do think Zamus' would be since they didnt show it?

 

[supermarioshell]

She's hot in the first pic.

 

[LockeExe]

She seems like she can combo like a beast if used right.

Paralyzer, a + a + upSmash, uB to pull the enemy back down, forwardSmash, sideB to hit with the tip of the whip.

But, whoknows. That uB pulling them back down is awesome.
