Samus Aran

Samus Aran is the main protagonist of the Metroid franchise and an intergalactic bounty hunter. She is a playable character in every Super Smash Bros. title. She wears a heavy power suit but falls at a slow speed, giving her "floaty" jumps and aerial movement like in the side-scrolling Metroid games. Samus's moveset is designed around extensive use of her projectiles and other weapons, along with a number of hand-to-hand moves and short-range cannon blasts. Several of her moves make use of her arm cannon, while her special moves are all based on the equipment that she obtains in the Metroid series.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Zero Suit Samus is featured as Samus's alternate form for whenever she loses her power suit. Since Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Zero Suit Samus has been featured as a separate fighter, so Samus's power suit was made indestructible. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Dark Samus was introduced as an echo fighter of Samus.

Samus's grab move is similar to Link's Hookshot except it involves her using the Grapple Beam. She can also use it as a tether recovery to pull herself up to the edge of a platform.
