Samus is used to fighting waves of enemies comparable to herself, especially in this key since that's what the start of Fusion boiled down to pretty much.
Peter is upscaling 15 Kilotons while Samus is massively upscaling 9.8 Kilotons.
Peter's Regen and Precog should help him hang in there for awhile since Samus doesn't just spam the Speed Booster in-character.
Appreciated; seems like Samus' Charge Beam shots should be able to put a dent in Peter in that case, since Charge Beam shots seem to be at least two times more powerful than normal Power Beam shots.
The Speed Booster automatically activates in Fusion simply by running, though that's most likely due to the limited control scheme of the GBA, so take that with a grain of salt. However, I am not saying she would really spam it, so much as I am saying that it's one of the options available to her from the get-go, meaning there's a pretty decent chance she won't start out with it, but a decent chance she would at the same time.
I don't know about two times since we don't have hard numbers for it like that but I get what you mean.
Fair enough.
I don't think the webs are gonna do much if Samus gets tagged while using the Speed Booster due to the invincibility it grants via Shinespark as well as her also possessing a form of Spider-Sense as well via the Sensemove and being a skilled combatant as well, even in melee as shown in the manga.
Ah, guess that's fair
I only say that simply because the damage values for the Charge Beam have generally been around two or three times the damage values of regular Power Beam shots, so needless to say we're really not working with a whole lot to begin with.
I'm not sure if the Shinespark - let alone the Speed Booster - would be able to prevent Samus from being snared on the off-chance she gets caught. Now, Peter actually being able to land those webs is a different story given the speed amp, but hypothetically, if he does land them, I don't think Samus would be able to simply shrug it off the same way she can just plow through enemies like in source material.
I know Samus is a skilled fighter of her own, however, her feats aren't as well-indexed as Peter's are. I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, though, since Samus' profile is. . .heavily outdated, to say the least.
Also fair.
It destroys anything touching her, it's not just from the impact of her hitting things as it actually creates an aura around her as shown in later games (release date wise) like Metroid: Other M and Dread.
I'm not saying she's as skilled as Peter when it comes to melee combat, I'm just saying she isn't helpless, especially since she should still have her parry skill from Metroid: Samus Returns and Dread to at least partially repel his attacks considering it briefly stuns those that get parried.
Fair enough; I do distinctly remember that the little sawblades in Dairon could be destroyed with the Speed Booster (iirc), so that's my fault
I think it works on some projectiles but not energy attacks, though her armor can naturally reflect energy attacks as stated on her profile so it's not a huge detriment. Regardless, I do think Peter can work around the Parry but Samus' Precog is gonna make doing so a massive pain in the ass.
That’s what I’m sayin’. My goat needs her respect and the pages unfortunately don’t show her at her best
Well I'm trying to slowly fix stuff as I find it, so she'll look at least a little better than before.
