Zero Suit Samus (Life & Death)

Zero Suit Samus (ゼロスーツサムス, Zero Suit Samus) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Zero Suit Samus is Samus Aran while sporting her Zero Suit instead of her Power Suit. As the Power Suit completely obscures Samus' face and body in most cases, the Zero Suit is typically used in games to show her physical features, either as a narrative element or as a reward for the player. The Zero Suit debuted in Metroid: Zero Mission, and has made recurring appearances since then. As demonstrated by two of Samus' Casual Outfits appearing as alternate costumes beginning with Super Smash Bros. 4, the identifier "Zero Suit Samus" can also loosely refer to unarmored versions of Samus in general, a concept that existed since Metroid's first installment.
Zero Suit Samus is voiced by Jessica Martin in all versions of Life or Death, replacing Aliesa Gildewell's portrayal from all previous Smash installments since Brawl. Martin reprises the role from Metroid: Other M despite Zero Suit Samus being based on her Metroid Dread incarnation.

 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	A knifehand strike, followed by a pistol-whip with her Paralyzer, followed by a 12-6 elbow.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	A roundhouse kick. It can be angled. The down-angled version may cause tripping at low percentages.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	A butterfly kick performed from a variation of the 2000 (a breakdancing move) followed by an upward scissor kick.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	A legsweep.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	Activates her Jet Boots to perform a jet-propelled knee strike.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	A mid-level sidekick followed by a spinning sidekick at a slightly higher angle. Due to it activating her Jet Boots, the second hit has a visible sweetspot in the form of a small, fiery blast at the tip of her foot. Unlike typical sweetspots, it has the same damage output as the sourspot; the only change is that it has slightly higher knockback scaling. Her side smash can be angled, but only the second kick changes in angle.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Spins in place while twirling her Plasma Whip overhead.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Aims her Paralyzer downward in front of herself and fires a paralyzing energy blast at the ground. Based on the ability to shoot her Paralyzer downward in Metroid: Zero Mission.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Spins in midair, swinging her Plasma Whip laterally around herself.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	A hook kick followed by a roundhouse kick.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	A spinning hook kick.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	A bicycle kick.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	A diagonal flying kick, similar to Sonic and Sheik's down aerials, though unlike most moves of its kind, it meteor smashes throughout its entire duration.
Grab Aerial 	N/A 	Lashes in front of her with the Plasma Whip.
Grab 	N/A 	Performs a kneeling lunge to unfurl the Plasma Whip.
Pummel 	N/A 	A knee strike.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Kicks the opponent away.
Back Throw 	N/A 	A mid-level roundhouse kick.
Up Throw 	N/A 	A backflip kick.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Pins the opponent on the ground, and performs an ax kick.
Neutral Special	Paralyzer 	Assumes a kneeling position to fire a paralyzing energy blast from her weapon. It can be charged, which increases its damage output the duration of its paralysis but at the cost of lowered speed. Targets hit by paralysis cannot be paralyzed again until making contact with the stage.
Side Special 	Plasma Whip	Performs a kneeling lunge to unleash the Plasma Whip forward in a swirling motion. The whip hits repeatedly, while its sweetspot, which is located at the whip's tip, launches opponents away, and can KO at high percentages. Alternatively, holding down the special move button will have the tip of the whip snap upwards, knocking opponents up and towards her. While the held version deals less damage, it gives Zero Suit Samus an opportunity for followups.
Up Special 	Boost Kick 	Activates her Jet Boots to perform a jet-propelled diagonal split-legged flying kick, followed by a spinning hook kick. One of her best KO moves against a midair opponent. It can also be angled forward or backward.
Down Special 	Flip Jump 	A 720° Ce Kong Fan, a jumping technique used in contemporary Wushu. It functions as a third jump and grants intangibility on frames 3-12. It can deal damage in two ways: upon contact at the end of the jump, or by pressing either the attack button or special button during the jump. Upon contact, Zero Suit Samus performs a footstool stomp, which buries grounded opponents and meteor smashes aerial opponents. Pressing the attack or special buttons makes her perform a diagonal flying kick, which is very powerful. The flying kick also has a sweetspot at her foot that can meteor smash aerial opponents but has slightly less knockback against aerial opponents.
Final Smash 	Zero Laser 	Zero Suit Samus leaps up, rising into the air, then appears atop her Gunship in the background, wearing her Power Suit. A player-controlled crosshair then appears, and after a short amount of time (or when the attack button is pressed), the now-suited Samus begins firing her Zero Laser with an area roughly equal to that of the crosshair. Like the version used by her suited counterpart, it hits multiple times. Opponents take more damage closer to the center of the crosshair. At the end of the move, there is a brief pause, then one final burst is fired with enough power to launch opponents. Once the move concludes, Samus reverts to her Zero Suit and returns to her previous position.

Zero Suit Samus' Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Zero Suit Samus in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
