🎮 Bowser’s Troops Ranked: Weak to Powerful 💪 — https://bit.ly/378YVSW

I felt like, in context to gameplay, the fusion suit was far weaker than other suits were. The mobility was definitely a plus, but I weigh that as not being quite as valuable as being able to take hits. Pre-Fusion/Dread Samus is noticeably tankier

The Metroid Suit moment in Dread is absolutely amazing.

1: Omega Suit isn't really a separate suit of its own. It's just the Fusion Suit, but modified after Samus regains all of her missing gear and DNA from the SA-X.

2: Raven Beak was a Mawkin, a warrior tribe of Chozo who hunted the Metroids. Mawkin DNA does the opposite of what you stated; it enrages Metroid DNA, which ultimately triggered the transformation of Samus' Fusion Suit into the Metroid Suit. It was her Thoha genes given to her by Gray Voice that suppressed her Metroid DNA, as the Thoha were the ones capable of controlling the Metroids.

The fact that Samus got cold resist from the varia suit in fusion, but needed the stronger gravity suit in dread used to bother me. But then I relaized that what I though was an oversight was actually brilliant foreshadowing.

Samus's cold weakness comes from her metroid DNA she gained in Fusion. In dread we know the metroid is growing stronger, thus its weaknesses would be amplified as well!

The fusion suit was stated by the devs to be Samus at her weakest. She lacks most of the protection of the power suit and she's vulnerability to cold. The raw fusion suit should be below the power suit. All of the fusion suits are objectively inferior to the power suit alternatives except for maybe the 'omega' suit.

The dread suit, even, isn't up to the same level as the power suit, which is why she still takes much more damage than in previous games, iirc. At least until she gets the gravity upgrade abs the thing is fully covered in armor.

Putting the fusion suit above the gravity suit feels very incorrect. She is very, explicitly, weakened by the loss of most of her armor. Pretty much the only advantage it has is the ability to grip ledges without an additional upgrade. I think it ranks above the zero suit, but below everything else.

And it's weird to say that the "Justin Bailey" suit has the properties of the Varia Suit or that the Fully Powered Suit has the color scheme of the Gravity Suit. Those suits only have those properties IF (or because) Samus has those upgrades in the game. Justin Bailey Suit is just whatever suit properties you happen to have at the time being applied to Samus's leotard thing, and the Fully Powered Suit has all the same properties as the regular power suit, just with better compatibility so it can use the gravity suit upgrade.

3:03 To clarify some things about the "Fully Powered Suit": It's essentially a "Mark 2" Power Suit, whereas the one she has for the majority of Zero Mission could be considered a "mark 1". She keeps the MK2 Suit for the rest of the series, and even after losing her suit in Fusion, is able to keep the MK2 system to use things like the Plasma Beam.

In design the best is the Dread Suit for me, and as the PED Suit would be more powerful, we still don't know how far the limits of the Metroid Suit go, let's wait for the next game that the creator confirmed that he wanted to continue the saga with another direction explain to us what will happen to the Metroid Suit now that Samus has even more control of her DNA

Samus is invulnerable to damage in the PED's hyper mode, so even with the risk, it's hard to call the phazon suit better, especially since as a player, you can abuse the invulnerability by edging the hyper mode bar when it's continually filling up to force the auto vent. If you don't want to deal with enemies in a room, you can flicker hyper mode on and off to eat hits without taking damage.

The fact that you used footage of the Varia Suit while talking about the Power Suit bothered me more than it should have

Just from a looks perspective, the light suit has always been my favorite

I honestly would've put the initial Fusion Suit from Fusion and Dread between the Zero Suit and basic Power Suit. She loses her defense against cold (yes, I know due to Metroid DNA), and specifically said she was at her most vulnerable in Fusion. She even takes far more damage in it compared to the rest.

10:51 Samus clearly dons the varia suit in the "opening part of the story"

The PED suit could replace the Phazon Suit's placement on the list solely for making Samus invulnerable to most forms of energy damage in Metroid Prime 3 once she enters hypermode. That level of defense is only rivaled by the Metroid suit. The corruption is a blessing & a curse. It extends the period of energy invulnerability until 25 seconds pass (correct me if i am wrong) & allows Samus to keep pumping out extreme phazon-based damage. Being able to enter & deactivate hypermode before corruption takes effect is extremely powerful.

The black phazon suit is so freaking awesome. Metroid prime went too hard and we love that game for it

I don't think you understand the difference between the fully powered suit or legendary power suit, the basic power suit, and the varia suit. The basic power suit is yellow with triangular shoulder pauldrons. The varia suit is an upgrade that is compatible with the basic power suit and it's distinguishing feature is the orange color. The fully powered suit is the one with spherical shoulder pauldrons. That's why in Zero Mission there is a fully sprited yellow full power suit with spherical shoulders, even though it's not playable in normal play because collecting it automatically gives you varia. With a rom hack you can play the yellow legendary power suit by turning off the varia suit.

Isn't the fully powered suit just samus's regular suit with every power up in the game?
I don't get why it needs to be a separate entry, and especially lower than the varia suit. Since the fully powered suit...Has the varia suit already.

I don't think you understood what the dash attack in Dread was, lol.

13:24 to me that reason alone is why its behind the Light, PED and Metroid suit as my favourite suit
