Metroid Online - Pre-release Party Post

[Pooky]

I really don't think Samus is capable of enough brute strength to do a lot of damage with melee weaponry.

Crouching was only available in all the 2D metroid games besides the first one

.

I have some thoughts about pick up beams.

a sniper beam

a gausshogesque exploding beam

a beam you charge, and then shoot a large powerful blast, like the spartan laser.

a rapid fire beam like the one dark samus uses in metroid prime 2

super missiles

mines

etc


just some ideas, any of these things would be cool to see in gameplay

[ExAm]

^no. This is metroid, not halometroidgenericshooter

PS. go look in the secret room in talon IV (behind the closed door)

No don't, the door is a lie..

ya, thats where the morphballs origenaly spawned, I locked that door way back then, and I guess it never ended up getting unlocked lol
acualy.. those morphballs may still be there.. people have said it lags over there? the morphballs cuased that if they all spawned at once.. O.o

[Hurrvish]

I like the morphball models

Something similiar to the shock coil, and imperialist from metroid prime hunters would make me a happy panda.

Seriously. Give me a CANON example where Samus demonstrated raw powah not in form of firepower or acrobatics; Super Smash Bros and its sequels don't count.

.

Even so, has it really been useful for something besides starting the shinespark?

I think the fact samus can perform the acrobatic maneuvers she does is testament to her strength (and if you claim that it's the suit helping her, then why can't it help her wack).

I think the fact samus can perform the acrobatic maneuvers she does is testament to her strength (and if you claim that it's the suit helping her, then why can't it help her wack).

Obviously the suit doesn't assist with her agility, save for the Speed Booster powerup, as Samus has the same core maneuverability out of it as she does in it.

I'm just saying that she doesn't possess the same brute strength as a SPARTAN-II, Covenant Elite, or, well, a Brute. While she's certainly strongER than a normal human being, I doubt she can put on enough hurt to an armored target with just her bare hands.

[n00b1n8R]

there are metroid games where samus does stuff out of the suit?

and also, she's not fighting a brute/elite/chief, she's fighting a clone of herself
