Special Attacks

Samus will boost herself up in the air with an initial high kick, then followed up with a couple of spinning kicks, further increasing her jump height.

Final Smash

Gunship

Samus calls in her ship and you'll be taken behind its Controls. Control the reticule then press the Special button to fire the ship's twin laser rifles. While the lasers are firing, you can move the lasers a bit. This special lasts for 15 seconds or after you fire five times. Each hit deals damage and knocks enemies away. The spot where the lasers hit have a small blast radius as well.

Recovery

Zero Suit Samus' vertical recovery can be done by using her Boost Kick. The only problem with this move is that you have to facing the direction where the edge you can grab on to is located. Boost Kick boosts Samus diagonally and will leave her to free fall afterward. Additionally, Samus' Plasma Whip can be used as a grappling hook. This requires proper timing since missing the edge will surely result to self-destruction. She can dangle for a few seconds before pulling herself up using the circle pad. Samus' Flip Jump can be used for horizontal recovery while maintaining the danger to whoever gets caught along the jump's direction or landing spot.

Gameplay

Samus is stripped down of her armor in exchange for magnificent speed and fluid combos. Samus can close the distance quickly while having good ranged attacks at her disposal. Her attacks have extended range and she can build damage quickly. She has two ways to stun opponents: one is Down Smash which requires proper timing to capture opponents and her Neutral Special. Charging these moves increases the stun duration a bit and will allow Samus to follow up with her powerful Forward Smash attack. If the opponents are hit by the weaker Paralyzer shots, these are effective deterrents for charging opponents or disrupting their moves. Her Forward Smash kick can hit the opponent twice and when fully charged, it can be quite potent. Even if the first kick doesn't connect, the following kick is a straight one that's followed up by a short plasma burst from her boots. This gives her Side Smash quite an extended reach for a melee attack.

She has good anti-air moves as well. Her basic Up and Up Smash attacks have good reach and can send free falling enemies back in the air. While airborne, opponents can be further punished by her Booster Kick. Samus' Down Air attack can hit opponents hard from the air and can launch them airborne. Like before, a Booster Kick seems to be an effective follow up against flying targets. Samus' grapple has good range, like her special Plasma Whip which can push opponents while dealing multi-hit damage to them before launching them away. This whip can be used for grappling to the edges as well, making it a very useful recovery tool.
