abstract
  • Samus (サムス, Samus) is a starter character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Returning as a veteran from the previous game, Samus, similarly to Link, reprises her role as a short-ranged fighter with numerous ranged options. In addition, she received some powerful buffs, causing her to improve from a bottom-tiered character in Super Smash Bros. to a high-mid tiered character in Melee. Samus currently ranks 10th on the current tier list, placing her in high-mid tier. This is mainly due to her numerous and effective projectiles, which adds to her KOing power and her approach on the ground, along with having a good air game and different recovery options off-stagem including the ability to wall jump and use the Grapple Beam. However, she is floaty character despite being a heavy weight making her easy to juggle and worsening her vertical endurance. Regardless, Samus has a large amount of advantageous matchups, three of which are close to unloseable (against Roy, Yoshi and Pichu).
