Character Sheet: Metroid Prime

METROID PRIME

And now, we have another set of characters, this time hailing from the Prime series of games. You'd think a series like Metroid wouldn't have that many, but we're pretty close to fifty now. Our new ones include:

1. Federation Mech

2. Rundas

3. Ghor

4. Gandrayda

5. Noxus

6. Sylux

7. Spire

8. Trace

9. Kanden

10. Weavel

11. U-Mos

12. Aurora Unit

13. Dark Samus

14. Meta Ridley

15. Metroid Prime

16. Emperor Ing

17. Gorea

18. Chozo Ghost

19. Mechanoid

20. Ing

21. Liquid Phazon

22. Quad

23. Phazon Elite

24. Berserker Lord

25. Labor Golem

Today, we will cover the Metroid Prime, most of whose story we already covered with Dark Samus, being a Metroid mutated by the volatile chemical Phazon by Space Pirates on Tallon IV, before it was fought and apparently killed by Samus and subsequently took on her shape. So this is basically Dark Samus before she became Dark Samus.

The fight has different phases, but the bulk of it is spent in a giant crab-like form, so that will primarily be the form she takes as the Metroid Prime. She can barrel forward at high speed, hang from the ceiling, shoot energy beams, lunge forward, burrow underground, drop bombs from her underbelly, shoot balls of fire and spit green fire, and turn invisible. That should be more than enough for us.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Green Fire

Just to differentiate from all the laser blasts, let's give her a fire blast to work with instead.

Side B: Charge

I would like a slightly more unique one, but she does charge a lot in this form, so let's just do that. She could also lunge forward too.

Up B: Ceiling Cling

She will launch herself high into the air, clinging onto any platform above her if one happens to exist.

Down B: Burrow

Invisibility or the Bombs could work here too, but I'm going with the burrowing. Possibly could do the whole Bugs Bunny Multiversus thing too while we're at it.

Final Smash: Final Form

She will transform into her final form and start using attacks from that end of the battle, lashing out with her tentacles and breathing fire.

Entrance: She will start out on the ceiling and drop down.

Taunts: Up, she will rear up on her back legs and roar. Side, she will spread her legs and look around. Down, she will act protective over a batch of phazon.

Kirby Hat: He'll be wearing the top of her head like a hat.

Kart: Based on her base form, but with wheels.

Special Move: She will extend her legs and barrel forward at high speed.

Spirit Battle: A giant battle on Frigate Orpheon.

Victory Screen: She will hatch and emerge as her final form.

Losing Screen: Her death animation will play out.

Color Swaps: All will be black on the shell, but with different glows at the edges. These will be red, blue, green, pink, yellow, purple, white, and gold.

Thanks for reading! Next up, another more beastly final battle.
