Super Smash Brothers

After months, and possibly years, of dealing with Metroid fans' demands for a new game with Samus in it for the N64, the executives at Nintendo

"granted" our wishes. We got a game with Samus in it, alright, but she wasn't the star of the game. Still, Super Smash Brothers is a total classic, and a great game which is hard to get tired of (just like Metroid).

Samus is, by far, my favorite fighter in this game, not only because I'm a Metroid fan, but because of the fact that she is highly versitile. Unlike other characters, which only have one or two things going for them, Samus is very well-rounded in all aspects. Her speed's just right, so she's not as easy to lose controll of as with faster characters, such as Fox or Falcon. Her air qualities are surpurb! It's not easy to knock her off the stage, just because she can stay (and attack) in the air for a long period of time. Most of all, her attacks are probably the most varied out of everyone's, with Link being a close second. Ranging from her charge shot and trusty bombs to an airborne drill kick and heafty napalm blast, she deals out damage quick and hard.
