If she is not above a platform, this is often enough to KO her. It is also possible for an opponent to dodge the move by being behind Samus during the attack, again allowing them to attack Samus as soon as the laser stops.įinishing the Final Smash in mid-air does not put Samus (or rather, Zero Suit Samus) into a helpless state however, she will fall for quite some time until all her suit pieces fall off. Even characters KOed by the Final Smash are often able to return to the stage and attack as the transformation finishes. The transformation into Zero Suit Samus takes quite a while, and thus is easily punished. Zero Laser can also be angled slightly up or slightly down by tilting the control stick in the desired direction, though this does not have much of an effect on the laser's area of effect and cannot be moved above approximately a 30 degree angle. Opponents behind Samus will be sucked into the line of fire, and opponents above the laser will also be sucked in. While Samus is using the attack, she and the laser itself have a vacuum effect. While not necessarily a one-hit KO, if used near the edge of a stage the laser can push opponents past the blast line, or close enough that the final burst from the attack will do so. The move's damage varies depending on how long a character is caught in the beam, ranging from 40-78% damage.

Zero Laser lasts a total of about 4 seconds. The items have very high knockback and decent damage, but, like any other item, they also can be picked up by opponents and thrown back at Zero Suit Samus or others. In Brawl, after firing the beam, Samus's Power Suit is 'damaged' and falls off of Samus's body, transforming her into Zero Suit Samus.Īfter the beam has been fired and the Power Suit removed, the damaged pieces of the suit can be picked up and thrown as items by any player. The Zero Laser also passes through characters and portions of stages. Samus charges her arm cannon and fires a large beam of energy that deals a high amount of damage.
