Fighter #04 - Samus

- Samus loves going for midnight strolls and watching the stars at night. She finds it peaceful and relaxing, which isn't very common when you're living in a mansion with almost a hundred people.

- For Christmas, she bought a giant telescope for everyone's stargazing delight. It sits happily on the roof's balcony with a perfect view of the sky.

- She wants a hamster, but knows Ridley will just break into her room and eat it. If she were able to get one, she'd name it Biscuit. Samus loves all her friends in Smash, but she wants something to love and care for on the outside. She thinks it would be comforting and healthy for someone as jaded as she is, but that's a wish that won't come true. Unless Ridley were to mysteriously disappear...

- No, as much as she wanted that to happen, it would cause disorder within the mansion. On top of that, it would be too easy to figure out that it was her. 

- Samus, Fox, and Falco talk about their space travels a lot. Well, actually Fox and Falco do all the talking while she listens to them bicker like a married couple. Samus doesn't mind, though. She finds it hilarious.

- She's an excellent repairwoman. The Chozo taught her everything she needed to know about fixing things. She can easily repair her suit and is often called to help when ROB needs a repair.

- Samus is always fine-tuning her Zero Lazer in case Ridley attempts mass genocide. If that dubious creature tries to kill everyone, she wants to be ready to fight him.

- She is a very light sleeper. Seriously, this woman will wake up at the drop of a hat. She's the first to wake up whenever anyone (ahem, Donkey Kong) gets up for a midnight snack.

- She's considering adding more types of lasers to her arsenal. After all, it wouldn't hurt to mix things up a bit. It would definitely serve as a shock to Ridley during their next fight, and everybody knows Samus will do anything to gain the upper hand.

- For the most part, Samus salutes with her left hand, since her right is covered by her laser/missile launcher.

- When she first met Falco, she originally thought he was one of the Chozo people, but a weaker, less cool version. Falco's ego definitely suffered a blow from that one.

- She's somewhat of a mother figure to the younger fighters, always watching out for their safety and giving them stern warnings when they do something dangerous.

- Peach is like a sister to her. They've both been in Smash for a long time, so it's only natural that they formed a close bond with one another. They'll frequently go for walks or have picnics outside together. Jigglypuff usually tags along as well.

- She's trying to teach Toon Link how to do a cartwheel. Spoiler alert---it's actually going really well. Samus is a good teacher, despite her cold and aloof attitude. 

- Despite her usually quiet manner, Samus is actually a great storyteller. Her extraterrestrial tales are out-of-this-world (ha, get it?).

- When Samus first joined Smash, she wasn't much of a talker, but she warmed up eventually.  With every new iteration of Smash and every new addition to the roster, she always starts out quiet and solitary, but slowly warms up to the newcomers over time.

- Back in the Brawl days, Wario accidentally misgendered her when they first met. Under normal circumstances, she would just remove her helmet and calmly point out that she was a woman. But she was in a bad mood that day, so instead, Wario received a full-powered Charge Shot to the gut. A few hours later, she went to his room (without her helmet on) and apologized. Now, there are no hard feelings between them.

- Falco and Snake really want to join her on her next bounty hunt. Falco says that he wants to embark on a new adventure. As for Snake, she doesn't really know. Every time she asks why, he kinda dodges the question. At first, Samus is reluctant, but the more she thinks about it, the more she warms up to the idea. Both of them can handle themselves and it'd be nice to have friends with her (not to mention, it would make the job easier). She would add lasers to their weapons whether they liked it or not. Samus has no tolerance for complaints. It's either she adds the lasers or they're not coming at all.

- One time during a battle, she used a Poke Ball and Deoxys came out. Thinking it was an evil alien, Samus started shooting at it. Becoming angry, Deoxys turned on her and Hyper Beamed her off the stage. She acted indifferent after she found out it was a Pokemon, but deep down, she was a little embarrassed. Sonic won't let her live it down, and neither will Deoxys.

- When winter comes, beware—she is amazing at snowball fights. She and the Ice Climbers will destroy everyone without hesitation.

- Samus always gets put on trash duty, but never complains about it. It’s a rare chance to get away from the mansion’s chaos, even if only for a few seconds.

- Surprisingly, she gets cold pretty easily. During the winter, especially when it’s snowing, she always wears at least four layers of jackets, two layers of pants, three pairs of socks, and heavy-duty boots. If the cold ends up bothering her, Snake will use this as an excuse to wrap an arm around her. Despite his experience in stealth, he is awful at being smooth. He thinks he's being sneaky about it, but he's really not. Samus just pretends not to notice to give him the satisfaction (honestly, she doesn’t mind it too much).

- Samus added a fire extinguisher to her suit just in case of emergency. As she’s said to the fighters, it’s better to be safe than sorry. That being said, if a fire does happen, she smothers it like crazy. Even if the fire is completely gone, she’ll spray it for a few more seconds to ensure that it doesn’t come back.

- Samus, Jigglypuff, Peach, and Daisy all have this thing called Smoothie Sunday. Every Sunday morning, they’ll make smoothies, perch up on the balcony, and talk about whatever comes to mind. No one is allowed to interrupt Smoothie Sunday, and if they do, Jigglypuff will not hesitate to slap them off the roof.

- Samus grew up with Chozo technology, so she's still figuring out how to use Earth tech. Snake is happy to help her out with it.

- She’s accidentally punched people more times than she can count. Unfortunately, Samus suffers from both PTSD and paranoia, so when she gets startled, her first instinct is to fight.

- She’s actually really good at tennis. Her skill rivals Mario’s. Samus, Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina are the ideal tennis squad, with Jigglypuff waving around pom-poms and cheering them on from the sidelines.

- She and Snake were watching an action movie together once, and Samus made the mistake of commenting that she found the lead guy attractive. Usually, she would never be so open about something like that, but she considered Snake a friend, so she just said it without thinking. Well, she learned not to say something like that again, because Snake became bitter for the rest of the night (he won’t admit it, but he got a little jealous).

- She loves watching old 90s cartoons. They remind her of her childhood. She makes references to them all the time and nobody understands them aside from Snake.

- Samus loves spicy food! She could probably eat a ghost pepper without having the slightest reaction. Whenever the spicy curry appears on stage, she gets super excited and will make a break for it. She’s given bruises to so many fighters because she just wanted spicy curry.

- Her favorite Song from the Smash soundtrack is the Brinstar theme from Melee. It's just a wicked cool song, in her opinion. She's mad that they cut it in half though, that kinda ruined her jam.

Note: I apologize for the lateness! I was pretty busy this week, but I promise I'll have next week's headcanons posted on time! Next up is Samus' evil counterpart, the dark Phazon creature.

While waiting for my physical copy of Metroid Prime remaster to arrive I've been replaying Metroid NES on the Nintendo Switch Online and I actually got a better ending this time!

Got Samus to reveal her hair! Not the whole taking off armor reveal but pretty good!

Propaganda under the cut. If you want your propaganda reblogged and added to future polls, please tag it as propaganda or otherwise indicate this!

Get the Punk Out (Special Stage 2):

Such an incredible action=packed tuen as you face the most aggressive of the Mega Man Killers. During the breakdown right before the central bit, I like to chant "Get the punk out!" to get myself even more amped!

[undedkat]

I’m not too far in Zero Mission yet, but I’ve been enjoying it. It honestly feels like it really captured the magic I felt when playing Metroid for the first time and what the game could have been if the team had the hardware. Only thing is I just wish it was a bit harder.

[dooptown]

i think your favorite super metroid track says a lot about you

Not to post the same game again but here's your video game song of the day:

That's one of those songs that just makes you stop in your tracks for a moment to listen. Truly magical.
