So after looking at the DBZ upgrades I thought, "No way I'm letting Android 18 beat Samus!", and searched for any feats that would upgrade her. What I found , does more than just that. To give a simple summary, Samus' ship in the Prime series, is MFTL+ because it managed to get to another galaxy in 3 months. Meta Ridley outraces her ship, only to be beaten by Phazon Suit Samus. Then Dark Samus steals that said suit, and every fight with every suit after between Samus and Dark Samus would register as MFTL+. Before someone shouts outlier, it should be noted there is a calc on Dark Samus' page that registers her as FTL for casual hopping between planets after having a pocket universe collapse on her, beaten by Light Suit Samus, and having nearly no phazon AKA her energy source.

Low End: >100,000c Mid End: >10,160,000c High End: >19,560,000c

Note: Even though there is a high end, these are scaled from the difference between the Milky Way and the CLOSEST galaxy, where as Tetra is likely farther away.

So just to be clear, this makes Ridley, Samus, and Dark Samus all MFTL+, correct?

Yes, with the exception of normal Ridley
 
This looks good. We going to use the low end, mid or high. Doesn't matter which one is chosen since they'll still be MFTL+.
 
I do enjoy Metroid quite a lot tbh so this would be top notch for me but wouldn't this be MFTL+ travel speed instead of combat speed? Or is Dark Samus flying during the fight?

IIRC Dark Samus flies mid-combat multiple times (as does Ridley), though I can try to find some clips, too.
 
He says Ridley flies during MP1 and Dark Samus flies in really quick short bursts during the fight in MP3
 
This just proves that the Prime variations of Metroid are truly the most dangerous
 
Considering 8 agree (3 of which are admins), I would like it if any two other members come here to state their opinion and if they agree can the upgrades take place?

Yes, yes you may, but make sure to explain it clearly.

How about for Ridley" MFTL+ (via being able to outrace Samus' ship which has shown to be a minimum of 100,000c, and for being able to fight Samus who can tag Ridley's movement's speeds)

Samus "MFTL+ (via being able to tag Meta Ridley's movement speeds in the Phazon Suit, and for being able to tag Dark Samus who has the phazon suit, in the Light, Dark, and PED suits)

D Samus "MFTL+ (Metroid Prime is MFTL+ for being to fight Phazon Suit Samus, also MFTL+ as Dark Samus for obtaining the Phazon suit)

@SomebodyStupid
Sounds about right. What would Phazon Ridley's justification be? "Superior to Meta Ridley"?

Yes
 
.... I find it after checking it.... kind of out of context. I will present my counters here, as I am frankly iffy about this.

1) It contradicts the site. Now, I know that sadly Prime's site has been taken down. However, according to the Metroid wiki here is the spaceship which she used in Prime

Vessel Classificatio Hunter-class gunship
Weight 136 tons
Crew 1
Dimensions 9.144 meters by 6.096 meters by 2.4384 meters
Drive type Relativistic: 44 MHz
Power source Field-exclusion Gluino
Maximum velocity
Relativistic: 7.2 x 10 C
This puts already at a far slower speed, as it seems it is just barely FTL+. But there is more,

More informations here: http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Samus_Aran%27s_Gunship#Samus.27_first_Ship_.28post_crash.29

2) Let us assume the ship might be this fast, when Ridley outpaced it the ship had been just travelling from outside a space station and straight into Tallon IV. I doubt she'd crash or move at full speed into a planet at that speed out of risk of shattering it to pieces. Fiction is fiction but there is a certain degree of logic which I really can't see.

3) For all we know, hyperspace or whatever exists.

Here we see Samus Aran's ship clearly disappearing in a sort of flicker of light, not unlike hyperdrive or whatever.

3) Very few speed feats have happened besides that. And yes, I am calling it an outlier. I saw Samus went to another planet semi casually, but even when next to no Phazon, she had enough juice to defeat soundly the three hunters. Also, for all we know, her speed hasn't increased.


Frankly, I know I am late, but i can't find it legit
 
This is kinda a necro so I'll make another thread if needed but now that I re-think this Xantospoc has a point. It is kinda a huge distance away from every other speed feat in the series (consistently Hypersonic to MHS) and plus I don't think we have any proof Ridley didn't use a Space Pirate ship to get there. Or perhaps he himself has a kind of hyperdrive in him? While the Dark Samus flight seems okay since Phaaze has no ships we should also remember that she can teleport and (presumably, although its uncomfirmed) open wormholes. Her teleportation isn't instant, so I believe it's more likely she used this as a faster method of transportation insted of just her own flight.
 
On Dark Samus:

[After our liberation, she left us adrift. We thought this a test of our loyalty, and so we endured. Some said she abandoned us. They were promptly shot. Disciples do not doubt their leader. When she returned, it was on the back of a titanic starborne beast! As we groveled in awe, she ordered us to follow the beast through a rift in space, a wormhole. Some refused to follow, afraid of the unknown. They too were shot. Disciples must be fearless. Once through the rift, we saw a singular wonder...Phaaze, the source of all Phazon in the cosmos. Phaaze, the home of our glorious leader!]

The Space Pirate Data clearly states she got to Phaaze by hijacking a Space Pirate ship and travelling through a wormhole. She didn't fly there. Her speed feat is now moot in addition to Xanto's points. I also find it very hard to believe Samus would fly full speed towards a planet at millions of times faster than light speeds when she was a distance from it closer than the Earth is to the Moon
 
 
Also, you wanna talk about this, make another thread, and unlike what I just saw, please actually understand whats going on.
