So I've looked through Samus's profile, and I believe that there's some changes that should be made. The abilities she should gain are the following:
Resistance to sub-zero temperatures (can walk into sub-zero areas in her varia fusion suit ). Some of you might say, "but it just says extreme temperatures, that doesn't mean she can be resistant to sub-zero temperatures since the Varia suit has been shown time and time again to only protect her from extreme heat." Well in this game, she has ran into sub-zero areas, as shown here , and she's not affected by the cold due to her varia suit upgrade.
Absorption of parasites is her next ability due to the fusion suit having metroid DNA, and throughout the entirety of fusion, she absorbs the parasites to either gain health, or gain an ability they stole.
In terms of her weaknesses, both of her weaknesses (her losing her upgrades in the beginning of her missions, and her PTSD with Ridley) should be removed because:
1. The first one is a game mechanic that occurs in every metroid game, and isn't really a valid argument to use during a vs match, and 2. Her PTSD with Ridley is one of the biggest examples of PIS in gaming since, as many of you who are fans of the metroid franchise should know, Samus has fought Ridley numerous times in the past and she came out perfectly ok in terms of her mental health. Even if you use the metroid zero mission manga as source for her PTSD, she quickly got her shit together and destroyed Ridley in the end, and if you are going to use the claim that the Prime games aren't canon according to Other M, she's still beaten Ridley more than once without any traumatic moments in Zero Mission, and Super.
Instead, her weakness should be that she's weak to Ice-based attacks in her standard fusion suit (until she gains the varia suit upgrade, which mitigates the weakness to an extent since she was able to fight off the SA-X in the end of the game, who would usually kill her in a few shots due to her being part metroid.)
