Samus Aran (SSB. Amplified)

Samus Aran is a starter character in Super Smash Bros. Amplified from the Metroid series. This incarnation of Samus is a perfect attending veteran. She takes the voice actress from her Zero Suit appearances.
==Moveset==
Samus Aran is in her power suit. She is a powerful projectile user who relies on defensive zoning and some physical attacks in case foes get too close. However, her projectiles are deflectable, which could limit her options. Her Screw Attack can actually be slightly tilted for a better recovery situations. Samus Aran gains crawling which is just the use of the Morph Ball. 
Special Moves
Neutral Special	Charge Shot 	A blast from the arm cannon. Hold to charge for a more powerful shot.

==Trophy Info==
===Samus Aran:===
A famed galactic bounty hunter and formerly worked for the Galactic Federation. Samus Aran lost her parents and was adopted by advanced aliens called the Chozo. The Chozo were responsible for Samus Aran's powerful suit, some training, and enhancements for performing superhuman feats. This bounty hunter has been hired by the people of her previous employer many times. Samus's versatile Power Suit has a variety of beams, missiles, bombs, visors, and even functional improvements to the suit itself. I wouldn't want to be this woman's enemy.
===Samus Aran (Alt):===
Samus's trademark arm cannon can deliver a chargeable shot. A full blast can pack a powerful hit, so use this on a defenseless foe. Missile is actually two types, a slight homing regular one and a straight fire, more damaging Super Missle. Both of these are great for a keep away game outside of projectile manipulators. The Screw Attack is a multihit somersaulting leap into the air that shoots Samus upward with a little horizontal recovery movement. Flip Jump is great for horizontal recovery and some good offensive tactics, but can be used to bury foes.
===Zero Laser:===
Overclocking everything in her suit, Samus readies a powerful laser and fires it. It can be angled to pursue some foes who initially dodged it. This laser takes up a moderate size of coverage when it blasts out. This overload causes Samus's Power Suit to break, leaving Samus with limited attack options for about three seconds. Then, she can go back to her usual fighting business. This laser blast is effective at ledge guarding so unleash it when foes try to get back on stage.
===Zero Suit Samus:===
Just Samus Aran without her iconic Power Suit. She still does have her superhuman athletic abilities and tactical prowess without her suit. Her options are however fewer considering her self defense weapon paralyzes rather than flat out damaging. In this game, she only appears suitless for a brief moment of time before regaining her Power Suit. Be sure to stay away and hold enemies off so Samus doesn't get KO'ed to quickly, even if she regains her suit after a KO. Even without the suit, I still wouldn't want her as an enemy.
