[@coltonk.3086]

Honestly I think the only way they can continue making new Smash games after Ultimate is to essentially reboot everything and give all of the Nintendo characters thoroughly updated movesets.

[@Zye1984]

Yup. Imo, going back to maybe a Melee cast number and putting more effort per character equal to (or maybe less) of making 80+ characters would be a good idea. Since Sakurai SHOULD be retired from Smash (dude you earned it!) there might be less incentive of simplicity.

[@Gloopki]

[@omnibeta1876]

I wouldn't say it's boring more so as it's just stale since it has barely changed since its origin

[@vleessjuu]

Samus' moveset is definitely due for an overhaul compared to what some of the newer fighters got. Her iconic morph ball is very poorly represented in Smash in particular.

[@DuskLegend]

Samus isn’t boring, what’re you talking about?

[@Chill66666]

Samus if she was released today as dlc

[@Akrenix]

imagine if sakurai put this moveset in the game exactly as it's presented here but the only difference is that side tilt is also a reflector

[@XBC3403]

there's a lot of neat ideas here, but altogether i think it kinda goes to make her too complicated in favor of referencing as much stuff from Dread as possible. Things like down b being morph ball or neutral b being free aim i like. But then things like the dash booster being a run mechanic or her having 4 different kinds of projectiles off of neutral b i think go a bit too far and start to lose sight of the general idea that these characters are supposed to be easy to pick up and play and figure out for most players. having an additional mechanic tied to dashing or having to press different buttons to fire different projectiles aren't as intuitive nor quick to understand as ideas like holding the button to get a stronger attack, or adjusting the stick for a different angle. I think it would be overall better if shine spark was her up b and while flash shift is a neat idea for her side b, i think its still a better idea to leave it as missles to keep charge shot and missles as separate moves and give her more options for zoning which is the archetype she's supposed to fall under.

[@theflameviper2154]

Agreed, this game can be a LOT to figure out especially for someone new to the series. And this moveset is VERY oppressive and I think would be rough to fight in a casual setting.

[@ghost1182able]

That's the problem tho so many characters are just generic kicks and punches they don't feel unique in the slightest pick and sword character bet you they have an attack they just swing there sword in the same linear arc, I understand it might be complicated but that's why you should stick to one character for a bit to get a feel for what they can do dumbing down characters just leads to them never being played cuz you'll eventually find a character that can do the same thing but better biggest example imo Cloud why play any other sword fighter when his neutral and up air are just better and easier to use makes the game stale in terms of possibilities

[@thedapperdolphin1590]

It also doesn’t consider what the character’s overall playstyle should be or whether those moves would actually be any useful or fun to play against. Samus’ new neutral special seems bad on both ends. You have to stop and pause, which isn’t really practical for a game like this. But at the same time, you’re unleashing loads of projectiles, which would be annoying for other players

[@XBC3403]

@ghost1182able you're complaining about generic punches, kicks, or sword slashes on normals of all things? They are normals. They are supposed to be simpler moves that attack/cover certain area. They don't have to be references for the sake of references. A character like Shulk, for instance, doesn't have much in terms of moves that coulf fill out a list of normals, much less ones that would be fitting for the places. Complaining that many characters Nair have similar purposes is like complaining that many characters in street fighter get moved for similar purposes, like a jump in with cross up capability. Not only does this view not take into consideration that smaller details between said moves, but it also ignores the greater context of the character the move is on. As for why anyone would play any other swordfighter other than cloud, I can think of several examples. Perhaps they just like the combos of different character more, perhaps they want to play their favorite character or a character from their favorite series. But to go into greater detail, maybe one likes the emphasis on zoning and trapping Link provide, maybe someone likes the spacial control characters like Marth or Sephiroth provide, maybe someone likes how floaty and the ease of recovery someone like Sora provides, maybe they like the emphasis on sheer power and rush down Roy can provide, maybe they like the gimmick of monado arts and the variety of ways they can be used that Shulk has. Maybe they like the amount of options and resource management Hero provides. Maybe they like the ability to switch between two versions in Pyra and Mythra with one emphasizing speed and combos and the other range and damage. Even if you can list a normal or two that look similar on many of the characters, they still in the end emphasize quite different play styles.

[@Bladieblah]

​@@ghost1182able With all due respect, if you think characters are too similar that is because you are bad at the game and don't know what you are talking about. It's like saying all SF characters are the same because it's all just punch and kicks. It's like saying a guitar and bass are the same because they both have strings. It's insane

[@caraprism9074]

Is it wrong if I kinda wish this mod kept some of her original physical attacks like F-tilt, Up-tilt and down special? I like them because it shows that she’s not just her arm cannon and is a highly trained soldier in a lot of aspects. Another reason is having so many counter animations just feels samey (also the animations here don’t feel very impactful but that’s just the mod). I also like the original up throw better but that’s just pure preference, they’re both very cool looking imo. Also about neutral special: I thought we were trying to make Samus cooler, not lamer. Down special is fine though, I like that rework, if that was in the next smash that could probably be made into something nicer to use and play against. Sorry to be all hater-y, I really do like a lot of the things added, it’s just as a Metroid fan first I just think Samus is really cool and want that to show in Smash which is why I’m hesitant on making her too mechanically like her games because that risks betraying the vibe and personality of Samus to emulate a game style that just doesn’t fit smash or FGs in general.

[@thunderd7904]

Flash shift looks broken as both an escape and approach tool. Low key same level as spindash. Also with her "dash melee" moves, it'd be sick if, when you clanked with them, they leave the opponent stunned for a second to reflect Dread even more.

[@murraymurphy1298]

Too many mechanics in the standard special, and the dash state mechanics should really have just been the side special if you HAD to have them. Drop the missiles from the standard special-- keep it simple. Just have Samus start a running charge when she activates side special, and then when she turns blue you gain access to some powerful moves. The normals are amazing, as is the up special, but the standard special is overcooked. It's problematic enough to have a whole lot of projectiles flying around at once, so at least keep them simple. And maybe don't let it be aimed downwards, because does anyone want more Plasma Breath edgeguarding?

[@l.n.3372]

I feel like shine spark should have been the up special instead.

[@EfraArt_Mix]

This mod is certainly great 😄😁, although I think the only thing I need is for Samus to acquire her Metroid Suit when performing her final Smash

[@burndownxmas5716]

I'm surprised the ultimate smash move didn't incorporate the metroid suit for a limited time

[@lukejohnson768]

I think that a really cool taunt would be using the Phantom Cloak to go invisible briefly (but invisible as in transparent - you can still see her outline, it's just kind of shimmery), then coming back.

[@Jlopezocasio]

Side Smash should be the kick that Samus uses to counter the Emmi’s.

[@theamazingmaymay123]

Using this, plus the RavenBeck over Dark Samus.has been fun. Honestly, if they allow the main characters to get new moves and allow the Echos to keep their old movesets I think would be perfect.

[@Printerpenguin]

Yeah, I personally am going to leave dark Samus unmodded but add this move set mod to Samus to achieve that

[@a.liguria2698]

Having free aim would be so much cool... Hopefully in the next Smash game Samus wilp indeed receive at least some new moves, and not just a design change.

[@gokuuzumaki70]

Smash 6 should redesign her moveset around Dread and Prime 4, and keep Dark Samus the same.

[@trustindean5164]

This is insanely cool but also like easily the least balanced character I've ever seen which is REALLY saying something I think taking some of the stuff would def work. Flash shift feels best suited as the dodge with the side special being the different missiles (seriously a rapid-fire ice thing is the quickest way to just break the game). Shinespark works better as the grounded up special (akin to how Min-Mins are different in the air and on the ground) with the air version being the grapple, though I also think one of the Emmi moves would work better. I'd also suggest the down special be fairly weak bc while the multi-bomb thing is good it also risks breaking things. Last thing I'd think for this is like the final smash HAS to be the Metroid Suit hyper beam bc like that's such a simple but perfect change

[@MrMindCloud]

To me, this is the only reasonable direction Smash can go in. I feel like the next smash needs to have a smaller roster, but every character needs revamped big time, if not entirely. DK (and I’m a DK main) is still out here rocking his slightly made up n64 moveset when there’s a huge selection of games to pull from - and he’s absolutely not the only one who needs work. They almost all do. Especially the legacy roster.

[@jaxon3186]

getting rid of her fair is a huuuuuge nerf but the nair screw attack may balance it nvm the projectiles are insane

[@DoctorNovakaine]

Neat stuff! Metroid Dread was a fun game and I enjoyed it a lot. Even if I'm awful at speed booster shenanigans (they leaned kinda hard into them this time around). This moveset looks a good deal faster and more mobile, which fits Dread Samus well.

[@RainSpitter]

I think this would be incredibly broken. The 360 degree firing beans and missiles are bad enough, but the speed booster alongside the shine spark is horribly bad. Samus would be impossible to catch.

[@Yoshinom1]

Some things could have been flushed out more, but it is amazing what you can do as Samus in her recent game. I just want the features to be just a bet more practical. However, it's amazing how they was able to implement these features, first brawl and now this.

[@TheQueensAce719]

3:43 If nothing else from this re-envisioned moveset gets added to the next installment (if we even get one), PLEASE let it be this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@serpentine8229]

If they limited the amount of ammo Samus had for her neutral and down b, then I’d feel like I’d be perfect. I would also say remove her special movement mechanic as that seems a bit much. Especially considering she has a side-b which is basically a free way back to the stage. She doesn’t need more imo. But overall, I think this version of her is a lot more healthy for the game

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

I really hope Samus gets at least a few of these in the next Smash game or all of this as custom moves if they decide to bring that back, which I really want them to.

[@gw7911]

People would hate Samus so much for the neutral special. A zoner with all that speed! Awesome mod!

[@Mr__Jack]

Definitely a step up from Samus’ current moveset. I personally feel Samus is the 64 veteran whose moveset feels the stalest and this really breathes new life into her. Definitely would need some balancing if something like this were to become official. That neutral B looks overpowered as hell.

[@andreazhab]

Some ideas are incredible, but others are just made without giving it a second thought whatsoever

[@DarkGekkouga]

I Like quite a lot about how this mod looks, if it were possible to mix and match versions there are a few mods Id keep in line with Vanilla, but over all this is pretty great

[@pokerflush1000]

I hope Samus gets an entire new moveset similar to this mod, for the next smash game. Dread introduced a lot of new mechanics for a fresh moveset and it can separate samus and dark samus, finally making them completely different characters.

[@maornelas183]

Quick Note: the up throw is different. At the very least it's a different animation. I don't know about damge, knockback scaling or anything else but there's at least a visual difference.

[@Night-Wolf]

My main takeaway from this video is that Samus's side smash could be angled in Brawl

[@Blackoutdmc]

I absolutely love this. Its unfortunate that Dread came after the release of Smash Ultimate, because it would have been really cool to see some of these move legitimately.

[@Thejigholeman]

good video, though i do have 1 suggestion. when comparing the changes in movesets, have a side by side comparison, instead of one after the other. a change may not be apparent when seen on its own, but be completely obvious when put right next to the previous version.

[@patrickrhyno4517]

Could be wrong, but the down throw is probably based on the Chozo Soldiers's counter finish from Dread.

[@Varia31]

There’s actually a finishing move from Other M late game where she pins down a creature with her foot before shooting them that is basically just like this animation. I think it’s referencing that more than anything!

[@elecmagpulse7385]

I’ve actually had an idea for a reskinned final smash for Samus since Dread came out: the Omega Blaster. It could be functionally identical (or at least very similar), with the Omega Stream hitting multiple times in succession like the current attack, and the big hit at the end being the Omega Cannon shot.

[@DangerousArmyGuy]

The Up Special should have been the Shinespark instead, or at least generating the charge so it can be used as shown in the video. But these moves look pretty neat. Just make Samus turn into Metroid Samus like in Dread for her Final Smash before she fires, and turns back after she's done, and it's perfect.

[@kylecunns]

I can finally freeze the Metroid assist trophy as Samus

[@lefeeshchopped8286]

This is how Samus would be if she were a DLC character

[@AlexIn_ThaCosmos89]

Samus plays better in the mod now! Next Dark Samus should get this treatment

[@CamoKoopa182]

Samus’ moveset hasn’t been changed since the first game! Needless to say this was badly needed!

[@100organicfreshmemes5]

The neutral B seems too spammy, and it's wild to me her up tilt and dash attack both got changed to be variants of her counter but up smash wasn't the standing counter, but overall this is a great updated moveset. Peresonally I would've left her dash attack as the shoulder tackle and changed up smash to be the counter, and her arm could have either intangibility or invincibility so that it's actually useful as a counter to beat out other moves. The Shinespark is also way too situational, I think it'd be better if her Shinespark was simply her Up-B, and the Speed Booster/Shinespark interaction just allows for ball boosts and makes Up-B faster and/or more powerful.

[@kirbymm88]

Playing with this version of Samus would be such a hard-on.

[@TheEvanDude112]

As much as most characters getting updates to their movesets would be a breath of fresh air, I doubt the original 8 are getting anymore changes after Brawl. I would’ve count all 12 if Luigi didn’t get his poltergeist in Ultimate. Even if they *did* and touched up on the movesets, something like this for Samus would be super annoying to deal with 😂

[@Jabersson]

Her down throw is based on when she kills the Chozo Soldiers in Dread

[@cruzmagallanes6914]

4:01 miss opportunity that the final smash should’ve been her transforming into the Metroid suit

[@HOLDENPOPE]

Now we need Dark Samus with this moveset echoed, with every blast attack poisoning the opponent, Phazon Spikes as her Down Special, and a Phazon Shotgun Blast as her Nair.

[@doodoo2065]

Hear me out Next Smash Game: Super Smash Bros DuÆL The game's gimmick: Every character has 2 playable versions of itself, for example, Mario-A and Mario-B, which you can choose at the character select screen These versions can vary slightly, such as Steve getting different specials, but most importantly, could be used as an excuse to give classic characters dlc treatment and thus being complete changes Mario-A: Classic Smash Mario, who's moveset got merged with Dr.Mario Mario-B: A new moveset actually inspired on his games, giving him gimmicks such as the big/small mechanic Samus-A: Classic samus Samus-B: This video's This would also make up for the fact that if we do get a new smash game, it will NOT have as many characters as Ultimate. This would be a way to make up for it imo ...Either that, or smash could just revamp those movesets and give their original movesets to the echo fighters, idk

Easily the best extra mechanic I love for the next Smash game to implement is her shinespark. That could have easily have been implemented to make her unique and have Dark Samus stand apart. I really hope we get to see a few of these ideas implemented as well!

[@ElEseLlamadoAngeloSFA]

I think it's fine, but maybe change the color of the final smash to red would be best in my opinion.

[@ninjamaster9094]

That neutral special looks busted, no one should get that amount of spamable projectiles with completely free aim. At the very least the energy shots shouldn’t make you flinch like Fox’s blaster, and the missiles should have a larger cooldown.

[@Roze_aye]

imma be honest... im not really a fan of this one. We already dont like fighting samus as it is. now imagine fighting a samus that can spam projectiles in full 360 degree motion, at a faster rate. can lay down an absolute minefield of bombs all over the place, and has an immediate dash that can be used up to 3 times and can get back to the stage from the blast zone with way too much ease. let alone allowing her to run away and continue bombarding you with never ending projectiles, Also i think the screw attack was a fine enough up b. its not like thats a dated part of her actual in game kit, she still has it. and she still can use the grapple beam like its used in the series

[@goGothitaLOL]

I think it’s just the Neutral and Down B/Specials that need a cool down They essentially have no end lag/cooldown

[@zeromontalvan1514]

id really looks amazing, imagine a whole roster with movesets that just like the fighting game characters like kazuya, ryu or terry bogard, make you feel like you're playing their own games, like i think mario/luigi could benefit a lot from all the badges that appear in mario wonder, or also donkey kong and yoshie having the ability to carry friends while playing with teams, even imagine a diddy kong mod which brings back the original idea of him being two characters like ice climbers adding dixie and also adding the change character thing from pyra/mythra or pokemon trainer, which speaking of, it could be amazing if pokemon and other rpg characters had the chance of doing a critic attack just like hero (he anyways has his own 20+ special moves gimmick) now, not even the sky is a limit

[@thenewhorkmanga43]

The animations are smooth as butter, and that skin looks really good... But after seeing Samus shoot energy beams and missles whilst standing still I can see why she was never designed in Smash to aim her cannon. She'd, in my opinion, work better if she used her Wave Beam (MP1) and Mobile Charge Attack (MD) for the neutral special... And then Ice Missles for her Side Special. Her down special should drop a power bomb after holding down B or a Spider Bomb (MP2) to shock opponents. The best move in her new toolkit is the use of the grapple beam. And since Screw Attack is an item in Smash, I believe her og neutral air could've stayed the same. The basic attacks and grabs are fine though, maybe remove more beam shot attacks for some of ZSS's melee attacks. Then again, I'm not a game developer or modder so maybe this moveset doesn't need as much balancing as I stated here. And I'm also sure the mod dev could definitely make a better moveset then what I've presented here. Regardless, they both still did a really nice job giving Samus an upgrade for her moveset and her character design in Smash.

I honestly don’t like her projectiles. Buffing the spam and nerfing her movement is boring choice. I would have preferred they nerfed the projectiles and gave her more dynamic movement. Canonically it doesn’t make sense either. She can move and shoot at the same time. It’s like a step back and builds a wall between her normal dynamic movement and when they choose to shoot. The thing they got right in ultimate was how they have her better charge shot movement. So this is a step in the wrong direction. Everything else is fine. And I also understand that her ultimate charge shot was overpowered. Which is why I’m saying I’m ok with it being nerfed so long as they balance other parts of her and give better movement. In my minds eye she’s now a zoomy brawler who spams projectiles in certain situations and circumstances. But it should be apart of her pressure tree. Not seperate from it

This would be super especially with dark samus in the game who keep Samus’ OG moveset

This is really cool and well made!

The hyper beam should've been red. I'd be also be cool to see her switch to her metroid armor briefly as she's firing it off as well
