Like edvedd said, it's basically an animation constraint—making Zero Suit Samus's movements acrobatic and flowing will generally mean a fair amount of distortion of her model. It'll probably look loads better in motion.

Exactly. Everyone notes how weird she looks in screenshots, but that's not how you'll be seeing her most times.

Speaking of screenshots, I hope the ability to share screenshots and homerun contest records (as well as other records) is back for both versions of the game. I enjoyed viewing them in Brawl before the service got disabled.

Let's not forget that Samus can curl into a tight ball as is while in her Varia(etc) Suit. She could probably bend in unnatural ways regardless of the screenshots due to her Chozo blood.

i prefer to think of her morphball thing as a "breakdown and rearranging of matter" thing, though i suppose the space pirates would beg to differ...

The Space Pirates lack the genes you need to turn into energy.

It's a good enough shot, but an ideal third image for today would be along these lines.

[up]Captain Falcon has a good looking figure and must be undergoing a lot of chest pain.

Count me as a fan of this alt costume. Maybe I'm at 13 year old boy after all.

Kinky.

Yeah, I like this outfit a lot better than the normal Zero Suit.

I wonder if they will ever announce the Ice Climbers this week, or ever.

I know. sad I've been thinking "Maybe they'll reveal them this week" for like a year, but it never happens.

Some people have mentioned that Samus's new outfit is the kind you'd see in a gym, on a runner, and even an MMA fighter.

Samus' morph ball isn't really all that amazing.

[up] HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAID THIS AND LINKED TO THAT VIDEO?!

The Morph Ball isn't amazing, the Science Team just have vapor for brains. Or Space Pirates aren't as flexible as your average human. Or both.

That really won't stop some people though.

I still prefer the Zero Suit, although I admittedly don't understand how form-fitting clothing that fully covers the body is more sexualized than form-fitting clothing that still bares the legs and midriff...

What other vets are we waiting on besides Wario, Ness, the Ice Climbers, Jigglypuff, Mr. Game & Watch, and R.O.B. anyway?
