Samus (サムス, Samus) is a starter character in Super Smash Bros. Samus is a heavy, yet floaty, character with decent horizontal recovery. However, she also has sluggish moves with a lot of ending lag, and she lacks a quick and easy-to-land kill move. Samus currently ranks 8th on the tier list, a noticeable improvement from her original placement, having risen two tiers. She has a low amount of combos and relies on prediction and predictable finishers to KO. The few things that save Samus are spacing, recovery, and the fact that she cannot be comboed as easily as others.
