@derrickdaniels39553 жыл бұрын
Phazon is a mutagenic agent. A Metroid exposed and absorbed an absurd amount creating Metroid Prime. It absorbed the phazon in Samus suit taking some of her DNA in the process. This would technically make Dark Samus a Human, Chozo, Metroid hybrid. It should also be noted that Samus suit is not all mechanical its also biological too. In the manga Joey and Samus, I can't remember where but at some point a piece of the suits arm cannon came off and later regenerated. Samus states that the suit is made from her DNA, and though the manga may or may not be canon that doesn't mean that some elements such as her suit being made from her isn't. This would explain why Dark samus has a slimmer more organic looking suit compared to Samus.

The SA-X wasn’t attacking the Metroids in that scene of Metroid Fusion, she was attacking the facility. We learn in Other M that The Federation’s Metroid facilities have an auto self-destruct feature when they take too much damage, so she was trying to activate that and kill all the Metroid in one fatal swoop. So I think the intelligence of the SA-X is at least on the same level as Samus, perhaps even surpassing it.

To pile on the vereditct, Dark Samus is actually a Metroid so she would also have the biologic advantage over an X Parasite, not only being inmune to its infection but likely being able to consume it. On top of that DS has shown several instances where she's 100% inmune to all non-Phazon damage, in every instance Samus had to come up with a solution herself, realizing the Phazon Suit could use the Phazon Beam in Prime, using the Charge Beam to draw Phazon particles in Echoes and well, she already had the PED suit in Corruption; the SA-X not having a Phazon weapon and moving only on instinct would never be able to figure out how to do what Samus did, and even if it remembers that fight, DS would not make the same mistake.

Winner of the fight: Dark Samus Bigger Universal Threat: SA-X Seriously, the parts of Fusion that scared me the most weren't even the SA-X encounters themselves. There was the part where, about 30-90 minutes into the game and just after getting the hi-jump, it is stated several thousand X parasites invaded sector 4. The other horrifying part to me is when it was stated that 10 SA-X were in existence after the restricted lab was jettisoned. Something that easily (almost) kills Samus, can reproduce thousands of times an hour, and even factory produce one of the strongest versions of Samus ever seen? That's too broken for words to describe. I was genuinely questioning whether the metroid universe would come to an end by the late game of Fusion. I felt hopelessness to an extent that only the Submerged Castle from Pikmin 2 made me feel (in a video game.)

Outstanding points. ETA: Seems to me it depend on scale and resources. Against a single SA-X, dark Samus would win handily, and devour the core X. Against an army of SA-X... Or even a squad of them, I think the SA-X would overwhelm dark Samus over time, and continue to multiply. There's also dark Samus' reliance on phazon to be considered, it seems to be a finite resource. While they are killing machines, the X do exhibit higher cognitive function at several points in Fusion, namely when they try to cause the BSL to meltdown, when a core X intercepts the varia suit data before Samus can acquire it, and when one SA-X tries to eliminate the metroids being studied.

I've seen this mentioned elsewhere in the comments but I think one element of Dark Samus that many often overlook is the fact that she herself is merely a Metroid. Which in itself gives her a massive edge over the SA-X. EVEN IF the SA-X is just as resilient as Dark Samus, we've seen how single-mindedly aggressive it gets in the presence of Metroids because of its default nature as an X Parasite. That's why it's so aggressive towards Samus and that's why it mindlessly shoots at the Metroids using what it perceives is its strongest attacks. In my head cannon, the SA-X sees Samus as just another Metroid that needs to be destroyed hense why it pursues her throughout the game. Dark Samus as stated is quite cunning and will often lead its victims into traps which benefit it. Further in Dark Samus' favour, unlike the SA-X, when Dark Samus had the advantage over Samus, her intentions were clearly not to kill her herself, although it's quite obvious she could've at the earlier stages of Prime 2. Similarly, Samus' Varia suit was comparatively useless against the power of Phazon, not just on a corruption level. If you notice, it damages her through the suit. If the SA-X was to have the same suit, her durability would mean noting to Dark Samus. The only wild card is what happens to the X upon phazon corruption. I'm assuming they're just as susceptible to it as everything else, but due to their nature as parasitic organisms, I could also imagine a scenario where the phazon itself could unintentionally strengthen the SA-X. At the very least? Mutate it. One final argument I pose in Dark Samus' favour that whilst not ever mentioned, is visibly shown multiple times in both games in both cutscenes and boss fights - she is incredibly fast with the ability to completely fly. Having movement superiority over the SA-X even without the ability to fly would make her incredibly difficult for such a brutish opponent like the SA-X. Plus, Dark Samus would not have to fear infection like Samus as Phazon itself is the most corruptible substance on the galaxy, meaning the likelihood of the X affecting Dark Samus is next to 0 (especially with her Metroid origin). These are my points I wanted to add to the video! I absolutely love both of these antagonists and the opening reveal to the SA-X in the Fusion elevator scene is honestly iconic and SO WELL done for so many reasons. Similarly, the personality shown through Dark Samus' interactions with her subtle yet clear motions makes her feel much more like a threatening rival to Samus with her own unique personality! I love them both for different reasons!!!

"Why didn't the SA-X use the Ice Beam on any on the metroids on the BSL?" One theory I've seldom seen before is that those Metroids were actually "unfreezable ones" similar to the Bottle Ship ones in Other M, seeing as how it seems a few of the specimens that were on the Bottle Ship were seemingly transferred to the BSL station. Also regardless, SA-X could have also deemed it a losable fight, and instead was willing to sacrifice itself to ensure the destruction of the Metroids for the good of the X race. We see this concept earlier when the X nearly destroyed the BSL station earlier in the game by attempting to overload it's reactor, as a means to kill Samus, because of the threat to their race they saw her as, thereby protecting their brethren on SA-X. (we of course know this ultimately proved true as by the end of the game both the BSL and SR-388 were destroyed thanks to Samus, thereby ending the X threat...for now).

And, at that point they had absorbed a scientist and thus knew that sections of the lab were automatically jettisoned and self-destructed if they took too much damage. Note that the SA-X in the secret lab didn't attack any of the metroids directly but was instead blindly firing as much as it could before being taken out by the metroids: it was targeting *the sector itself* to take them down with it. And, they were likely planning it and just waiting for Samus to open the door for them, since it needs something not infected for them to undo the security locks. They were probably hoping Samus would be trapped in the lab too and eliminate all the metroids in one swoop, but she managed to escape.

I played both the Prime series and Fusion. All I'm saying is that Dark Samus/Metroid Prime survived 3 damn games before Samus killed it for good.On the other hand Samus was so terrified of the X, she wouldn't even let Fusion get a sequel.🤣 But seriously, Samus let Dark Samus escape TWICE. Seriously, she DIDN'T deliver the killing blow to Metroid Prime nor did she deliver that blow to Dark Samus at the end of Prime 2. However in Fusion, she literally crashed the entire B.S.L. research station into SR-388 in an effort to eradicate not only the X on the research station but all of them entirely, sacrificing the entire planet. Phazon is very dangerous. But its affects can be slowed, contained, or even prevented. But there's literally no stopping the X EXCEPT with Metroids. But an X mimicking Samus is the most dangerous thing of all BECAUSE it has weapons that can kill Metroids, and it knows how to use them too. What people seem to forget is that Samus is part Metroid thanks to the vaccine. This is why the X aggressively attack her. They can sense the Metroid in her. So not only does the SA-X have the advantage in weapons and also Samus' memories; it also has firsthand experience fighting a Metroid infused being, that being Samus on multiple occasions (along with actual Metroids too). The X KNOW Metroids are vulnerable to the cold, this is why the X WILLINGLY adapt to the cold temperatures of Sector 5 knowing Samus will absorb them in order to kill her. This is also why the SA-X uses the ice beam and super missiles on Samus as it knows the best way to kill a Metroid is by freezing it and blowing it up with Super Missiles. Sure, Dark Samus at this point is some sort of abomination rather than a pure Metroid. However, the SA-X is quite literally full powered Samus from the end of Super Metroid with no moral compass. Honestly, the SA-X has a GREAT chance of coming out on top.

Even if dark samus doesnt have enough phazon to become immune to damage in the neutral arena, the ice beam/super missile combo WOULD NOT WORK on dark Samus, because it uses the phazon suit, which is a variant of the gravity suit, which nullifies the effects of all cold sources

I should make a correction. Dark Samus isn’t an incarnation of phazon. She is the Metroid Prime from the end of Prime 1. She bonded with Samus’ phazon suit and was saved from the Impact Crater’s collapse thanks to the last pool of phazon. Spends Prime 2 absorbing Phazon in order to become strong and take revenge on Samus, then in Prime 3 seeks to bring down all that Samus holds dear by taking control of the space pirates, taking control of Phaaze, and using it to turn all of Federation controlled space into copies of Phaaze. If you think about it, the first Metroid Prime trilogy has been a grand scale battle between Samus and the Metroid Prime.

"Dark Samus is a hivemind but SA-X have a mind of their own so they'd be less coordinated" The X-parasite _is_ a hivemind though. Throughout Fusion, SA-X isn't the only thing hunting you. The entire _ecosystem_ is hunting you, even making calculated moves like having X-forms go to the ARC sector to create cold X-forms to freeze Samus. Not only that, but they managed to take control of mechanical systems like the security robot and, ostensibly, Nightmare.

Another thing is if this Dark Samus is the same as the one at the end of Prime 3, there's no way the SA-X would even be able to harm her due to the lack of a PED suit. Also, one thing you left out is Dark Samus was originally a Metroid. With that DNA, she would be able just absorb the SA-X.
@krispee58423 жыл бұрын
To be honest, I kinda want a Metroid game where you play as the Samus clone. If I had to come up with details for it, then I guess it would start off as usual: Samus goes to yet another planet to investigate something strange on it. She finds out something has gone terribly wrong (as usual) and has to fight off many alien lifeforms (this might be a 2 or 3 part game depending on how far the creator wants to stretch the story (of course without the Part X suffix to keep players from guessing the plot too easily) depending on how far the creator wants to stretch the story) including several bosses. Some bosses later in the game however, will already be defeated, and some items will have already been taken. The only clue as to who had done these things is a green goo. After the final boss, Samus will head back to her ship to notify whoever hired her and have a well deserved rest. In the second part, Samus wakes up on the floor of one of the boss rooms with a green (can be any color) substance surrounding her as well as sticking to her suit. This goo had also been seen in the first part, but not as much and only near places where certain enemies were killed. She has the exact same weaponry and memories from when she defeated the boss of the room (not the final boss of the previous game), so she grabs a sample of the green goo and continues on with her previous mission. This time, Samus goes a different route due to blocked doors and other hindrances. She gets to fight all the bosses that were defeated before Samus came in the previous game (and some new ones) as well as take the items that weren't there before. This time however, she notices that she heals from the green goo and gains some of the abilities of the bosses she kills as long as they have green goo. She also bruises and bleeds a pale green in certain cut-scenes where she's injured, leading her to believe she's infected with a new virus. Samus decides to go back to her ship since she can't seem to solve the problem and is only finding more problems. On the way up however, she meets herself with all the weapons and armor from the previous game, and assuming the other Samus is a clue to the planet's problems, a battle against yourself occurs. After the battle ends, the other Samus retreats deeper into the hive(?) and this Samus continues her route upward to communicate what happened to her superior(s). When she gets back however, she is unable to access her ship and is forced to stay at a nearby home to send the message. Samus learns that she is now weak to water when she tries to clean some of her injuries. Instead of the usual cleaning pains, the water gives a piercing and sharp pain wherever it touches and only makes her wounds worse. Samus then decides to go back into the labyrinth(?) to find the source of her infection and hopefully the planet's problems. The areas where Samus had been in previously are now starting to host green goo. Closer to the boss room Samus woke up in at the beginning of the game, some green goo looks like it's trying to become. . . something. If she enters the boss room, she sees a green and almost humanoid blob react in a non hostile way to her presence. She can absorb it for a health boost and extra missiles (any other goo only restores health and ammo). Deeper in, the strange goo becomes less prevalent, and the normal enemies begin to pop up again. Down here, Samus meets other Samus again (with new weapons too), but this time other Samus curses in a teen friendly manner when in a bad position. This causes our Samus to believe other Samus might be an intelligent clone, but just as she's about to ask questions, other Samus escapes again. Samus follows other Samus this time, and ends up passing through rooms with dead bosses in them and empty item rooms. At some point, she comes into contact with the green goo and its spawned creatures again, but from this level and below, it's very hostile (can still absorb). After defeating the slowly increasing number of goo enemies, Samus battles other Samus and some words are exchanged during the battle such as: "What are you?" and "What's your goal?" Samus learns very much about other Samus during the battle, but the battle ends with her fatally injured. "Why?" Samus asks. The real Samus replies, "You did more damage than you thought (or something along those lines)." The character you've been playing as the whole game dies, and Samus takes the items, samples, and a few new samples directly from the dead clone (unfortunately, the body has to stay for both obvious and less obvious reasons). Samus then restates (new knowledge to the player) her goal: "I need to find the source of the green goo." (something like that). A few more bosses will get the player used to the real Samus's items and powers (Samus cannot use powers gained by goo infected boss monsters, only item and armor substitutes/addons)(an amiibo can be used to gain all goo powers here) before the final boss fight against the origin(?) of the goo. After the battle, a cut-scene will occur where goes back to the body, visits the nearby town, then leaves. Depending on how fast the player got through the areas and bosses, the cut-scene changes. If completed quickly, the body is still there, and Samus can bring it to her ship. If completed at a leisurely pace, then the body will be mostly swallowed by the hostile green goo, and Samus might say something like, "She was a great mercenary. . . just made of the wrong stuff." (something like that). Afterward, the cut-scene continues on like normal, but without the body of the fake Samus. Then the game ends. Afterward: The entire idea behind playing as fake Samus is that I want you, the player, to love her just as much if not more than the real one. The problem is, a lot of my ideas feel like they would work extremely well in a Metroid Prime style even though I was mostly ending up in the traditional 2d Metroid style in my head. I want a town bustling with people for more story content, but in order to do so in 2d, I'd have to compromise a bit. A few other ideas conflict with each other, like if the game is Prime-like, then the reflection might show some green in certain scenarios, but if the game is more traditional, then the cut-scenes won't have to awkwardly switch from first person to third then back. Also, the creator could make a manga based on the real Samus's side of the story. That and the amiibos could make a lot of money.

I'd say Dark Samus wins in pretty much every scenario, though this is mostly when considering her Prime 3 version and is also not going too crazy into the SA-X's self replication (as theoretically, you could just have thousands of SA-X dogpile Dark Samus). Despite how powerful Samus's gear is, we have to acknowledge just how overpowered Phazon really is when weaponized, Hyper mode in Corruption is a borderline "I win" button after all. Even when you acknowledge the SA-X's core X, I'd say it's rather cut in stone the outcome. Once exposed to Phazon, the X would either be obliterated from the radiation, or corrupted into a lifeform that serves Phazon. It's kind of a similar reason as to why the X are rather hopeless against Metroids. If an X tries to assimilate a Metroid, it just gets absorbed. If an X tries to assimilate Phazon, it gets exposed to Phazon.

One note is that the X-Parasite is very intelligent It was smart enough to absorb ice into some individual parasites and actively attack Samus before she'd gained an immunity. And every time SA-X actively saw Samus, the first reaction was to use Ice Beam As far as I know, using the Super Missiles against the Metroids was mostly to destroy that part of the facility itself and force Samus to escape the area

@accywacky26993 жыл бұрын
The main argument I would raise against the conclusions of this vid is that the X parasites are clearly intelligent, able to plan and strategize as a whole. However they do NOT have some kind of instantaneous telepathic communication or the like. Case in point: early on in fusion the x parasites deliberately try to ram Samus after their hosts are destroyed, thinking that they can simply infect her... It takes a while for them to realize and word to get around that.. No man, that one Eats Us. Stay Away. Then later on they create the cold x variation as a possible counter against Samus, and Those cold-x once again try to deliberately ram Samus... They even continue to do this for a while after you aquire a suit that lets you ignore their chill and absorb them with ease again... Only after a good while do they once more figure out that the gig is up and abandon this strategy, causing cold-x to flee from Samus when able. We also generally see the X actively work semi-independently but cooperatively to infest and spread themselves throughout the station, presumably making use of SA-X's ability to plan and execute the initial attacks from the storage bay and rapidly acquiring information about the station and how it works from infested scientists and staff. In the beginning they attempt to balance an approach of obtaining more species and data from the various biomes with their goal of eliminating fusion-samus since she's the only substantial threat to the x parasites themselves. Over time though, probably as they aquire more and more minds, particularly that of Ridley, that they begin to grasp just HOW big a threat Samus is to the X as a species, and start using tactics like just blowing the whole damn station up long as it takes her out too (with there being more x on the planet below in their natural habitat). What I try to point at is that the X do not seem like they operate on some all-knowing instant-transmission type hive mind, individual host-x will try their own things based on what their host is capable of and that host's knowledge and personality which means an intelligent host = more intelligent plots and schemes by the X but the communication and sharing of ideas/intelligence is not instant. Most notably at the end of Fusion, the station is about to blow up and Samus is battling a hostile, mature metroid (not an x parasite obviously), and getting her ass kicked because she lacks a crucial upgrade.. A SA-X joins the fight at a crucial moment, engaging not Samus but the metroid in question and, when the metroid defeats the SA-X, pretty much just hangs there and Lets fusion-Samus absorb it for a powerup needed to win and escape the station. The video critiques the SA-X earlier in the game for firing super missiles all over rather than using its ice beam against the metroids in that section of the station... But I would argue that its goal was not to kill off or freeze the metroids.. but to damage the station section enough that the station safety measures eject and auto-destruct that whole section, killing off all the metroids in there in one swoop. The SA-X at the scene was on a literal suicide mission and personal survival was never its goal. Thus I posit that the SA-X is Every bit able to draw upon the memories and knowledge of not only Samus, but any x-parasites that have acquired knowledge from other hosts and conveyed this to the SA-X in question and the Dark Samus should not be considered to have a decisive advantage in this regard, quite the opposite really since its perfectly possible that the SA-X could emulate not just Samus's memories and fighting instincts but even her spirit to the point of making that self-sacrificial move that one did at the end of Fusion. That kind of move or even the willingness/ability to make such a choice is also not something the Dark Samus would likely see coming should it come down to a mutual destruction tactic. The rules of the duel kind of seem to have been applied unevenly against the SA-X and X in general, since it seems to assume the SA-X gets dropped into an arena with no prep nor time to replicate but the Dark Samus is apparently loaded with a full tank of Phason And an environment from which to freely draw phason to keep using its powers? I mean, yes Dark Samus can use phason stuff without harm to itself, but it still needs to draw/generate phason from somewhere. Ergo I'd argue that if it starts making phase clones and/or spamming a lot of the more high end moves it used during the later boss battles... it'll probably run low on juice sooner rather than later and the SA-X is nothing if not relentless. Hence why I think the duel as given should not so easily be given to Dark Samus for all the reasons mentioned so far. On the flip side, if we where to give both sides time to prep and letting them fight in a beneficial environment... SA-X would have a small force or even an army of itself to bring to bear in relatively little time... The Fusion game took place well within one day after all. While Dark Samus would have, at best, an area stocked up with phason energy it can pull on to spam its more powerful moves and maybe some mutated minions. But end of the day a single normal Samus was enough to beat Dark Samus in those conditions while either Not as powered up as one SA-X would be or while on timers or other conditions that made the battles harder. Meanwhile if Samus had to somehow handle 10-50 SA-X all at the same time.. weeeeell... I think we all know how that battle would end, unless Samus could run away somehow obviously. All that said, was a fun video :)

People keep saying the SA-X has all of Samus' memories, but I don't think this is the case. Samus herself wasn't killed by the X infection, the parasites she was infected by directly were killed by the Metroid vaccine. Only the X on her suit survived, so unless her suit can retain memories, I think it was just an X parasite with all of Samus' abilities. That could explain why it never used all of Samus' abilities (charge beam, speed booster, etc.). Even Samus herself said that she needed to stop the SA-X before it "learned it's potential". If it truly had all her memories, it would know what it's potential was immediately, and likely would've overwhelmed Samus in the end.

Answer to the question posted at 10:32. The simple answer is the SA-X was not trying to shoot those Metroids. Consider the events of entering the hidden sector. You walk in, go threw some rooms, suddenly you hear explosions and backtrack and suddenly the entire area is a crumbling wreck about to self destruct. It’s not shooting the metroids, it’s shooting the room itself. Where else would the damage come from. My point? The SA-X here knows that A. It’s completely expendable and B. It’s easier to kill itself and all the Metroids via a self destruct rather than one on one. This whole thing actually shows its intelligence because at the end of the day it succeeded in bringing the entire area down and killing all those Metroids. The Metroid Trainer made this same exact mistake in his video on the subject and it’s very annoying downplay of the SA-X’s intelligence because everyone seems to forget that unlike Dark Samus, the X is motivated by the collective survival of the species, not by their individual safety. Edit: The question posed there is also literally countered by how the SA-X, blasts Samus, a METROID, with the ice beam to do big damage to her. You know, the entire game. Edit 2: And this whole thing about Dark Samus having this grand master plan level IQ ignores that the SA-X, or just the X in general literally spend the ENTIRE GAME scheming to stop Samus. They destroyed the Data Rooms, they destroyed doorways to impede progress, the nearly caused 2 different self destruct sequences, they turn off the power to strand Samus in the Elevator, the SA-X literally ambushes Samus on her way to Nettori. How exactly are these the actions of a “mostly instinct based” being? Edit 3: 11:28 you say ignoring that Computer Adam references like ten times the X is intelligent. You understand causing the boiler room meltdown requires. . . . Intelligence.

And no, it's not just a random pattern it might do, *the SA-X always freezes the player and fires missiles, in that order.* It's programmed to do that. I'm pretty sure the low amount of Metroids around the SA-X implies that, considering this area was *FILLED* with Metroids, it killed a lot of them already but got tired out. Hence it's panicking.

The SA-X DID show its intelligence in Fusion, destroying several doors and entrances that Samus would've used to progress, narrowing down where she went and allowing the SA-X to follow her or head her off. 10:28 I thought that was going to come up... largely because I remember my last comment on this video, and I can see it... right now, right below this one as I'm typing it, so I'll summarize what I said in it. The SA-X was NOT aiming at the Baby Metroids, it was aiming at the station, attempting to destroy it. And what happens a minute later? The SA-X is attacked by Baby Metroids, yes, but the part of the station they're on was ejected and BLEW UP. Why? Because the SA-X 'fired Super Missiles at random'. And the final fight? Why would she? She has the same chance of killing you as she did every other time before then. The only difference is that you can fight back. 10:42 No, the SA-X only relied on instinct when fighting Samus because it sensed Metroid DNA within Samus. Any other entity wouldn't suffer from that same result. So no, Dark Samus could not use it to secure a victory, because Dark Samus does not have Metroid DNA... maybe I should explain the end of that last sentence. Dark Samus is the result of the Metroid Prime taking the Phazon Suit and latent Phazon within Samus's body and using it as a new vessel. The actual Metroid Prime body, both of them (the Shell and the Spectral... thing) were destroyed. Dark Samus is literally just the Metroid Prime's consciousness within the Phazon suit. In Prime 3, Dark Samus is literally pure Phazon, no Phazon suit. 11:29 No, she describes it as a HEARTLESS Killing Machine. HEARTLESS, not MINDLESS. In fact, she doesn't even call it a 'Heartless Killing Machine', she labels it as a 'Killing Machine', before adding that it's her at her strongest, but 'heartless'. And that's all... wow, that is SO much less than the last video. Wow. At least you didn't bring up Dark Samus coming back in Prime 3 after her loss in 2, labeling it as 'Dark Samus surviving a Dimension Imploding'... she didn't, by the way

I think that the SA-X is probably way stronger since one Metroid probably can't handle over 10 X-parasites at once. Dark samus can only regenerate if there is any phazon which isn't the case since phaaze has been absolutely REKT (samus teabagging meanwhile) and the SA-X can turn into an extremely powerful, grotesk hunch of a creature after being defeated and if that's killed, it can just re-integrate later on. That combined with there approximately being about ten of them would just stomp one samus clone to the ground. Plus that we don't even know if Metroid prime is even an actual Metroid

Well if dark samus is like in the end of prime 3 where she cant be hurt by anything but phazon, 10 sax wouldnt do anything

What I find most terrifying about the SA-X is that unlike Dark Samus, who just by a glance, you can tell is not Samus, the same can’t be said about the SA-X. I’ve seen several instances where the green visor on the Varia Suit helmet is… Opaque? You can’t see her face through it. Other than that, it’s undistinguishable from Samus. So imagine you’re a soldier, you see who you think is Samus with her visor in that state approach, thinking you’re saved… Just for ‘Samus’ to open fire on you and your team.

I believe Dark Samus could simply absorb an X core, since she is part Metroid. That is how Samus could absorb X cores in Fusion, right?

Depending on the version, Metroid Prime's logs can imply that the Metroid Prime itself is not in fact a Metroid, but the PAL version is widely accepted to be the canon version, and it implies that the Metroid Prime IS a Metroid. So depending on your viewpoint, Dark Samus may or may not be able to absorb X-Parasites.

@@whirl3690 I think it’s essentially been accepted that the Metroid Prime is a Metroid that was trapped within a Leviathan and heavily mutated by Phazon.
