Zero Suit Samus is underrated

[Nefarious B]

She's probly in the upper 25% as far as killing ability goes (ability to land a KO move at good percents, not raw power).

And ZSS is better than ROB, I think most people agree there. Better than Kirby too I think, she has better matchups (kirby has issues with marth, snake, and MK) and better showings. Same could be said about GaW.

I think that she and Lucario deserve to move up above ^^^ characters, and should be right below Olimar.

And as for the Diddy match, this is not in our disadvantage, atleast not badly. I hate to throw out matchup numbers arbitrarily, but it really is a 45-55 or 50-50 matchup for her. Just examine the facts real quick. She's an aerial character, one of the best in the game. She has better item control than any other character, and has a 60% combo at mid percents out of any nanner induced trip. 40% guaranteed combo at all percents out of a trip. She kills better than diddy, can juggle him better than just about anyone, and can gimp his recovery if Diddy gets predictable.

The only thing keeping that matchup even or slight disadvantage for her that Diddy's camping is difficult for her to get around. However if the ZSS player knows the matchup and can deal with nanners to the best of the character's capability, then it is a very winnable matchup.

IMO this is the top and high tier:

MK
Snake
Wario/Diddy
Falco
ICs

DDD
Pika
Marth
Olimar
ZSS
Lucario

 

[Lovely]

If that was the list, I would say she's overrated now. >.>

ZSS is not better than Kirby and Olimar. Absolutely not.

especially olimar.

???

Allow me to name a few characters who have multiple reliable methods to KO around 110% or lower

Bowser
DK
Fox (usmash counts as like 3 lol)
Ganon
G&W
IC
Ike
DDD
Kirby
Luigi
MK
Ness
Olimar
Snake
Wario
Zelda

Which of these characters do you say ZSS KO's more reliably than. for 25%, youll need to name at least 7

 

[Nefarious B]

I'll just give you the people who are better than her to save us all some time:

Snake
Wario
DDD
Fox
DK
Kirby
Olimar
GaW

Remember I said not actual killing power, but landing that kill move. ZSS has a much easier time getting in for a kill than say Luigi, Ike, Zelda, or Ganon, even if they all clearly overpower her.
