Then honestly, you can probably use this to scale the EMMI's durability above every character in the verse (outside of the EMMI killers of course).

Hmm yes I will now scale EMMI above Hypermode…

To be fair I'm talking about dura, and eeeyyy, if it's a wog statement, then anything canon is valid.

All of the top tiers in Metroid either aren't made of some common material (Animus has some weird magic going on, Gorea was sealed using psychic powers) or don't exist anymore by the time of Dread (Phazon doesn't exist anymore), it doesn't scale to that much. Zebes' explosion is the biggest thing since you go back there in ZM and SM and while scrunched up the architecture still remains intact.

Ah well, might be a way to scale Samus to Gorea anyway.

Oh yeah, you can probably legit get another Tier 6 feat from the Zero Mission explosion via inverse square law. Don't know if anyone would scale to it pre-Dread though.
As an aside, would the Light Beam from Echoes potentially qualify as legit light? Visually it definitely looks more like an actual laser than most generic energy weapons in the series, and it never displays any wacky properties iirc.

A lot of the explosion feats and the leviathan crater got nerfed with the gravity downgrade, admittedly.
Although ig the leviathan may be planet anyway due to trucking through the LoA.

Excluding gravity stuff, Mother Brain's suicide attack from Zero Mission would be Low 6-B and the Leviathan crash would be like High 6-A in Prime 1 as well as three of them in Prime 3.

Just beat Zero Mission hard mode and even 100% Nestroid. Love and adore Zero Mission and Nestroid can be fun as long as you have a map. I genuinely enjoyed it and it's ahead of it's time, but it's definitely a dated game.

IMO NES Metroid is pretty fun if you draw a map like the manual tells you to, really feels like you're an explorer (BTW old Metroids' manuals are absolutely worth looking at, tons of cute/cool art and neat lore). Still has a lot of issues but I enjoy it. Metroid II is just straight-up good though.

I've memorized Metroid 1 enough that I don't need a map. Though drawing one out does sound fun.

So how much does the Gravity revision drop Ridley's plateau busting calc by?
- 14,912

Dog that shit barely 8-C, it just exists.

We could still use Inverse Square Law and calculate the explosion that resulted from the crash.
- 44

It's probably best to just calc it via the kinetic energy of Samus herself, the energy of the resulting explosion would've been mostly absorbed by the ship's hull.

ISL can only be done when you know how far she was (and if there's nothing in the way) so that's not really viable. There's some other stuff for ZSS that's probably on the same level now that the gravity's gone though. The Paralyzer has an 8-C feat which is funny.

This calculation is wrong, I refuse to believe Samus 5’4

That's just for the Other M LS thing, cause her being short got retconned in future games.
- 14,912
- 12,093
Other M do be Other M (wrong and bad)
- 6,482
- 6,569
Doesn't Samus have canon info that puts her at the 6 foot range? Or was that shit retconed?
- 14,912
- 12,093
Was retconned, then retconned back because it was dumb.
She's 190cm~.
- 6,482
- 6,569
Wait, then why not use this one if the 5 foot figure is only in one game?
- 3,670

Chozo DNA is fucky
- 14,912
- 12,093
because that's the game with the fucky, but it was ONLY ZS that was small, she magically grows a foot in suit.
- 15,844
- 12,213
Yeah it's like, we're only using it specifically for Other M calcs (or rather, that one Other M calc), every other ZSS feat would use her 190 cm height, or I guess a few less cm since you can tell she's a little taller in the suit if you compare sprites in ZM.
