Snake Codec Message[]
Snake:"Hey, Otacon. I got a woman here in a Power Suit."
Otacon:"Huh? How'd you know she was a woman? Yeah, that'd be Samus Aran, the most renowned bounty hunter in the galaxy. Her Arm Cannon can pack quite a wallop. If you get hit with a charged shot from that thing, you can kiss your butt good-bye."
Snake:"Sounds like my kind of woman..."
Otacon:"Yeah, well, just don't get too close, Snake. Samus is deadly. After Space Pirates killed her parents, she was raised by the Chozo and trained in the fighting arts. She's been places and seen things that people like you and me can't even begin to imagine."
Snake:"But underneath that cold, metal exterior beats the heart of a woman."
Note:Otacon's first comment is a joke on the fact that most Metroid and Smash Bros. newcomers(including myself with SSB64) have mistaken Samus for a man, robot or cyborg because of her Power Suit.
Fighting against Samus[]
Stay close and watch out for the Screw Attack. If you can shield or evade this, Samus is left vulnerable to a counterattack. Samus also has a minimal defense against aerial attacks, making Jigglypuff's "Wall of Pain" very effective.
