A look through Samus' armors

[@hardwaylacruz]

Fact: Actually, there is logical use of the Varia Suit's large shoulders; they work as an air expansors/compressors with kind of a spiral inside them (to optimize the flow of air) so it can regulate Samus' temperature, thats why it protects against extreme temperatures.

[@RageUnchained]

@@damo9329 in zero mission she gets a repair and upgrade to the legendary power suit

[@TheSefirosu200x]

My headcanon was always that the big shoulders acted as holders for extra Energy Tanks (which I always imagined worked sort of like real life fuses, but for her suit's shields only) and additional hardware for keeping the suit cool. So, I guess those heat sinks or fans or whatever could be stored inside, too.

[@archmagetyler]

Honestly I think it’s more adaptive shielding hardware since the suit takes less damage upon acquiring the suit as well, in a similar mannor to the hazmat puldrens from prime 3, since they adapt her shielding to take care of acid rain, but since they aren’t a full structural overhaul lack additional power to prevent damage.

[@TheAccursedHunter01]

A way to think about the Fusion Suit is that most of Samus' metal armor from the Varia Suit had to be removed, so only the black, flexible under armor of the Varia Suit was left. What little metal armor remaining when the Metroid vaccine was administered, as well as the under armor was morphed into something usable thanks to the Metroid vaccine, to give the Fusion Suit a Metroid appearance. Perhaps as a long term side effect of the Metroid vaccine Samus could develop Metroid powers to some degree (hopefully the ability to truly fly at least), perhaps even to the point where her suit molts like a Metroid to make her suit more powerful than it ever was. Once Samus gets the Varia Suit in Fusion, she's basically an unfreezable Metroid, so. I wouldn't be surprised if Samus "grew back" her old armor looks as a long term side effect of absorbing the SA-X. I always thought that Samus' armor growing back combined with molting like a Metroid and developing Metroid powers, it could be sort of like what Spiderman dealt with when he first got the symbiote of dealing with new power/cravings while figuring out who he really is.

[@jjnnerazor]

This is such a good idea for Metroid 5. I can already picture it, you start with the suit from Fusion's ending and, since Samus is becoming more Metroid like, she starts molting and her suit changes all the way until she becomes a queen metroid (not literally)

I have a feeling that the explosion in Prime was stronger than it looked, perhaps the electric shock was beyond what her amor could handle, or it was a chance thing, could be many things, I was, as a kid, pretty pissed lol, but it made getting the abilities back feel very rewarding and to understand the mechanics with limited resources, very good.

They could have drawn it better. Maybe make her visor lights flicker, or have sparks from her joints. Or dent the armour a bit. As it is, it just looks odd that her suit was knocked offline by a simple/weak explosion.

[@joshmariotti2844]

Yeah, same here. I like to think that when she hit the wall she got electrocuted by some exposed wires, and that this electric shock was so strong that it caused some of her systems to short serket. In other words, she didn't lose her upgrades, her upgrades are flat out broken and she now needs to get new ones.

[@Tarooo89]

The real question is how did Samus lose all her stuff at the beginning of Super Metroid... canonically it takes place like two hours after Metroid II, yet in that timespan she somehow lost all her powerups.

[@Metroid4ever]

That's what I assumed. the electricity caused her suit to short-circuit, damaging her ability to control things like charge beam or morphball. She had to re-pick them up to basically repair them.

[@chadschmaltz9790]

I kinda looked at it as a form of character development.

Samus's suit actually doesn't need any upgrades for her to survive cold temperatures, until Fusion. She only gains the vulnerability to cold in that game, due to the Metroid DNA, and that is the point where she starts needing an upgrade to survive cold (this continues into Dread as well). So any game prior to Fusion (Super and earlier), cold doesn't matter (and this includes the Prime games).

Is Prime's reasoning really the most silly for her losing her powerups? Is it truly not better than not explaining it at all? Pretty sure Other M's reasoning is the silliest reason. Just remember, we have never seen Samus affected by an explosion before, and hey, she had her back to it, so she was definitely not prepared for it as opposed to how she would be in-game.

[@TheOrpheon]

Part of the joke is me realizing that Other M is indeed the silliest one. I know its very brief but I was just trying to use this as an opening transition before jumping into the main topic, using my first experience with the series as a drive to the 'joke'

Was simply trying to explain the thought process when writing the script, but I do agree with you, Other M is by far, the silliest one

That is definitely understandable.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

Prime 1's is the silliest because you get a laugh out of it. Other M's just makes you wanna beat Adam over the head with the arm cannon.

[@pyroball602]

ALL powerup losses are actually explained ingame (Except older games). Actually, in Other M you do not lose stuff AT ALL, and only get stuff, like Diffusion. The reason why you do not use it is because Adam does not authorize it. Why Adam Malkovich does not authorise stuff? Well, first of all, for example Power Bombs can melt down Federation Force Members easily, as situation progresses, there will be need in PB, but what about the Varia Suit? Probably Samus did not think that there will be need for it, and kinda forgot about it, when you encounter the boss in the Lava Area, Adam did not stand this, and REMINDED Samus about the Varia Suit. There was no need in Gravity Suit for almost 85% of the game, but Samus knew she was in space, so she did not forget about the Gravity suit, and activated it in need. The second reason why Adam authorized stuff is actually a theory. Maybe it's harder to use ALL modules at once, and it would be too easy to kill stuff for Samus, she would not even warm up, Adam wanted for Samus to be on full guard and not exhausted. I personally think the silliest loss of ALL modules is in Prime 1, because it was triggered by an big *BOOOOM*

[@researchinbreeder]

Out of curiosity, has anyone made something that compares the defenses of all of Samus' suits across all games? Like if the Super Metroid varia suit blocks more damage than the Prime suit? Obv things like that are hard, so I was wondering if it already exists.

[@TheOrpheon]

Yes there are comparisons made that detail how much the Varia Suit protects you per game: Damage Reduction NES - 50% Metroid 2 - 20% Super - 50% Prime 1 - 10% Fusion - 40% Other M - 50% Samus Returns - 25% (Prime 2/3/Hunters don't apply)

[@TheOrpheon]

The same has been made with the Gravity Suit and the additional defense it gives on top of the Varia Suit. (so if Varia is 50% and Gravity is 25% = 75% damage reduction) Super - 25% Prime - 20% Fusion - 70% Zero Mission - 50% Other M - 75% Samus Returns - 50%

[@TheOrpheon]

Additionally, the Phazon suit adds 50%. and in Zero Mission the Varia suit adds 20% The Dark and Light Suits add defense, but the actual % is unknown The PED Suit is actually the only armor that does not boost your defenses, since it instead makes you invincible while in Hyper Mode Hope this helps answer your question

Best one is fusion suit. H8ers gonna h8

[@bubbajarvis9979]

That one's cool

[@LainWithSweetTea]

Fusion bae best bae

[@trequor]

Fusion in general is the best linear Metroid game. It really uses the linearity to double-down on the horror aspect. It's the only horror game that genuinely frightened me.

[@manbex4266]

The moment that really frightened me was when I entered the cold chamber with the eerie music and saw Ridley. Then I was so disapointed when I killed him first try by just spamming is face with charged beam while barely even dodging his attacks.

[@ozgurfratboz6770]

@@manbex4266 The real challenge of that fight was the SFX.

[@trequor]

I love the fusion suit. Especially the varia and gravity upgrades you get later. It really looks like organic

[@movezig5]

I actually really like the simple design and triangular shoulder pads of the default power suit. That's why I'm disappointed that it doesn't get different graphics in Super Metroid, and why I wish more games would let the player deactivate upgrades.

[@train4292]

It does. The sprites don’t do a good job of conveying it, but the Varia suit sprites have rounder shoulder pads while the Power suit sprites are more triangular. You just have to squint a bit to see it.

[@gabematamoros0707]

-Metroid video -Megaman Battle Network background music used -I love it

[@PresMan36]

Dark Suit is undeniably the coolest design of armor for Samus

[@DamianRavenhold]

Don’t think I don’t hear that superb Mega Man star force music. Sublime

[@Satawolf]

What's the megaman tune playing from 3:44 to 4:44

[@kamith3984]

Erosion corrosion

[@virtualpellot933]

It is not from Megaman, it from an old n64 game Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth.

[@rompevuevitos222]

@@virtualpellot933 I played both Megaman ZX games recently and i'm 100% certain i heard that song in one of those

[@virtualpellot933]

@@rompevuevitos222 it is similar yet no, it is not from Megaman ZX but from Star Soldier:Vanishing Earth for N64, but yes it sounds like something we hear from a Megaman game.

[@virtualpellot933]

@UC9OV4JvIAxAZYma-mBoBF3w i see. but i wish i could send ya the link for this music (it is one of my favorates by the way), but i can tell ya this: on youtube check star soldier: vanishing earth ost and it is right along there, I think it is called corrosion or something like that.

[@reachfanatic1234]

Samus has introduced me to that armor badass stereotype to me and since then I’ve always gravitated towards characters with cool helmets and badass attitudes

[@RobPsy]

after e3 2021: *there is another one*

[@biobiobio7777]

I love the little chibi Samus popping up in the videos. So adorable.

[@Boolium_Nor]

My favorite Varia suit design is definitely the one from Metroid Prime 3, But I like the Gravity Suit from Samus Returns, except for the helmet

[@MariotheAnimator]

When she gets dat Purple suit, you know there's nowhere left to run

[@Hatchet2k4]

That intro, so perfect, haha!

Glad to see someone else enjoyed it, I was afraid not many people would get it or find it funny when editing

The most fantastic breakdown!!! Phenomenal job!!!!

[@Thepeepbros]

this needs an update 👀

[@oomguy9423]

10:25 In the light, dark, and varia suits, you can just kinda make out samus smiling behind the visor. Bit of a stretch with the light suit.

[@Zyugo]

Any thoughts on the Dread Armor? (unofficial name for now)

[@TheOrpheon]

Dreadful suit looks great 10/10

[@Master-Tyranus_6720]

I love samus suits because they're so cool

[@batmanrip1]

I had no idea samus had so many suits.

[@TheOrpheon]

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle

[@trequor]

She kind of doesn't. These are almost all the same power suit, with various upgrades that can be installed such as "varia", "gravity", etc. A few of them are distinctly different, such as the fusion suit and the federation mashup suit.

[@thatguystar817]

Ohhh i used to watch you a lot So much nostalgia I just subbed

[@echoesamalie]

What's the song that starts at 3:15

[@mickabajerski4985]

it's a boss theme, i can't remember which

[@kamith3984]

I want to know too

[@greenspartanligado]

Star Soldier Vanishing Earth (N64)

[@noonethatspecial]

It's from Star Soldier 64. Stage 2 specifically.

[@philipanderson7581]

3:08 how great it would be if it was called *'hSA1-4468-MetroidEmulationSuite'* hSA meaning; hatchling Samus Aran. It's an acknowledgement of the Chozo considering Samus to be the Metroid(warrior) hatchling, as they raised her. I love continuity!

[@DyslexicGamer]

The light suit is my favorite

[@joshuasamuels4802]

I have to say, the Phazon Suit from Prime is the best looking and most powerful suit Samus has ever received. Sure the Hazard Suit was cool and offered decent protection from the corrosive effects of acids and fuel gel... But the Phazon Suit... love those colors!

[@hessexm8065]

dread's metroid suit: hold my metroid dna (just so you onow metroid suit grants invulnrability to every enemy in the game and not even raven beak could harm her, until he became raven beak x)

[@jelanidacostabest8195]

Great video! Can I ask what music you used?

[@kamith3984]

One of them is erosion corrosion from star soldier

[@creaturefeet3036]

[@mkitsie1780]

One of the things I love most about Orpheon is that when he doesn't know something, he says its bird magic.

[@goku3460]

I assumed she lost her powers due to the effects of massive emp waves disabling her weapons and the blast corrupting the data for them while the suit was basically just a heavy suit thus everything you collected wasn’t the weapons again simply reinstalling their data

[@ruvinluciano4369]

Whats the music at 3:14? Reminds me of a side scrolling shooter game with ships arcade style.

[@TheOrpheon]

Star Soldier Vanishing Earth (N64)

[@ruvinluciano4369]

Thank you.

[@labbit35]

Welp Gotta update the video as there is a new suit now

[@Mechasonicrocks]

The design of the Phazon suit from Metroid Prime 1 looks so badass; Shame it was only in one game and wasn’t used by Samus for very long. The Phazon suit is my personal favorite and I really wanted it to be an alternate color for Samus in Smash Bros.

[@TheEel228]

holy crap who the heck knows what it'll look like IN PRIME 4

[@hoobershmoober5251]

Rico O' Rourke it will look dank to be sure

[@TheOrpheon]

I am looking forward to seeing Prime 4's art direction

[@edwindavi2463]

Well...

[@yamoasap]

What’s the song name for 3:15 tho

[@kaptenen669]

This video exists because Bird Magic? P.S. Love your vids can't wait until your next video

[@TheOrpheon]

Everything exists because of Bird Magic? who knows what those Chozos were up to. Glad to hear you enjoy the videos, more coming soon. If its not asking to much, could you please consider sharing the videos/channel? the extra exposure would be of great help

[@kaptenen669]

The Orpheon, I wish I could share this to someone I know, but I am the only one I know who loves Metroid, so sorry dude. #birdmagicforlife

[@TheOrpheon]

No worries, I appreciate the thought, its more something to keep in mind for the future, your support makes all the difference #birdmagicforlife

[@Bodabodabroadcast]

Okay, this video now needs a metroid dread update.

Now we get to add the Dread suit as well as the lore from that game.
