Because there's basically two characters that represent 100% of Metroid's options for viable playable characters. Ridley doesn't seem to work the way they would want him to. Which means that if Metroid is to get more than one character (which it deserves), it needs to be another version of Samus.

I'd love to see that military outfit.

And I'm in the "ZSS' design is highly sexualized, with only her monochrome look being worse" view. Having a less sexualized design like that military outfit is nice.

Shadow?

Samus is totally different under the suit though. Like Zelda is totally different as Sheik.

But not many other characters have non-superpowered transformations...do they?

ZSS Solution: Tone down...Everything!

Solution #2...Tone down Breast size, curves, and "Butt"...(No heels)...the suit being skin tight was never an actual problem, it was what they did with Samus IN the suit that was the problem.

They just need a nice long talking to.

Why would having larger breasts or ass be inherently sexualized? I mean it's just normal variation in the human body.

His Final Smash is grabbing someone with his tail slinging them upwards, then grabbing them with his hand and driving them downwards like a meteor. And slamming them into the ground as if it were a Meteor Smash. tongue

I guess it would be nice if, after all this, ZSS still ends up being a good character to actually play.

Anyway, RIDLEY IS TOO BIG

Is there any other Metroid character at all who could be used? If we really scrape the bottom of the barrel?

Can I ask a question? What's wrong with the Zero Suit being sexy? It's not like it makes her a less competent fighter. In fact, in some ways, it's better for actual fighting, since it's not a bulky set of armour. The only thing that's really difference from other characters with more-or-less skintight outfits like Captain Falcon or Snake is that Samus has breasts. Big flipping whoop.

You know who we should really be concerned about? Jigglypuff. She fights naked. Or occasionally with a hat.

One of many Space Pirate variations.

[up][up]The way Other M basically shoves the Zero Suit at you and a lot of the time always manages to have ZSS "features" be in clear view...is where most of the "fan-service" complaints come from.

edvedd: You laugh, but a Space Pirate is pretty much the only other possibility besides Samus and Ridley. They have enough appearances, are basically the right shape to be a fighter, and have possibilities for a moveset.

[up]x4 That's what I say.

Anyway, as for another character to represent Metroid, we always have Anthony Higgs, Defier of Gravity and Master of Subtlety.

Metroid...the original black guy in Video games. Survives death, and saves "the girl"

He could totally be in Smash Bros. Four.

Metroid actually has a lot of viable characters to use.

They just don't often have a second appearance because Samus travels alone. Or they die. Or run away.

Though Ridley does both of those things and keeps coming back. [lol]
