Chances of Dark Samus/Metroid Prime fighter for Smash V has increased. She is now both alt and assist.
Edit: We aren't getting Ridley(I have accepted this) but Metroid could do with a second fighter that isn't just Samus split into two. She could probably be the Lucina of V.

I don't think that's the case. Even though she has a greater degree of prominence here than in Brawl, the Prime series is over, and the character is inarguably dead. With all the new I Ps and characters that will be up for consideration in SSB 5, Dark Samus really isn't much of a priority or likelihood.

@56177: Not possible. Different body proportions, different hitboxes.

"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — Ultimatepheer10 days from JP release, eh? I wonder if Japan has it's fair share of insatiable Melee fanboys. It would be interesting to hear what they think before it comes out here. Then again, the overwhelming butthurt of some people really gets to me. I know it's a very vocal minority, but as a competitive player as well it just gets kind of annoying that people refuse to move on.

It's a "once bitten, twice shy" kind of deal with a lot of them. Only time will tell wether or not Sakurai's actually learned his lesson. I'm in the camp that hopes he has, though — I WANT to move on, but if it somehow does turn out to be another Brawl...

"It's liberating, realizing you never need to be competent." — UltimatepheerThat is a really nice looking Dark Samus color for Samus. Reminds me of how Mario still has his Wario palette even after Wario actually showed up.
Who knows, by the time of Smash 5, we might get Dark Samus!Samus and Wario!Mario versus Dark Samus and Wario.
Actually, I like all of Samus's colors. They really captured at least the impression of the different suits.
Don't PM me. We don't like being PMed.

I don't like that we got Shulk last Friday and people are asking for a new character reveal already. I think they should wait 10 days if they want a character reveal because that is the Japanese release.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre AdventureIt does seem like a "now or never" time for reveals. Of course, this just probably means that this is our starting roster (beyond obvious unlocks like the 3r Party characters and usual unlocks like Luigi), and anyone revealed after Shulk will be our secret characters.
The New Age of Awesome is here! Not even the sky is the limit!If I play, and if I play Samus, it'll probably be exclusively that Dark Samus outfit. Man, I wish Dark Samus was playable.
@Metroid Prime series is over: and how many other series didn't have anything out when they were included in Smash?
So I see the X-Bomb hits everyone, including the person who threw it. That's a shame, I don't like it as much now.
You know, I don't think there's ever been a canonically dead character in Smash, except repeated ressurectors like Pit, Ganondorf, and possibly Ridley.
That just occurred to me, that's all.

Wait. This also means that Pikachu may get lots of other things to wear for the remaining 'colors'. What could they be, I wonder?
