Zero Suit Samus (Smash 5)

Zero Suit Samus makes her third appearance as a playable character to the Super Smash Bros. franchise in Super 5mash Bros. 5. She originally debuted as a character connected to Samus from Super Smash Bros. Brawl and was available after performing the Zero Laser. She gained her own character spot in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. She uses her Jet Boots, Plasma Whip, and Paralyzer. Aesthetically, she appears much like her model from Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS.

Custom 1 	Meteor Hover Boots 	10% 	Instead of doing zero damage, it causes a meteor to opponent below her when she ignites the boots. It doesn't do any damage for continuous boots. It also propels her slightly higher into the air. However, she only has 4 uses from it.

Down Special 	Lash 	7% (clean), 10% (throw) 2% (late), 	Zero Suit Samus lashes out with her Plasma Whip. If it hits clean, it grabs the opponent and flings them the opposite direction with high damage and knockback. If it his late, it doesn't grab them and just does hitstun. The sweetspot for grabbing it right when it snaps and she yanks it back. It can be used as a tether recovery.
Custom 1 	Electrocution Lash 	14% (clean), 4% (late), 	Stronger and just as quick but it doesn't catch opponents but instead; electrocutes them sending them high into the air.
Custom 2 	Reflecting Lash 	4% (melee), 2x (reflect) 	Does the same amount of damage but the player can influence where the beam will travel by tilting the control stick. As a result, it will launch players instead of doing hitstun.
