I can't get over the extreme confidence in this take down. Whoever animated/choreographed this scene is a genius.

I was making a video and then Prime remastered came out, I beat that game and now I somehow own like every Metroid game and have finished like four of them. 😂

this reminds me of driving through a city

The disrespect she has in this game is insane

Metroid Dread is a masterpiece.

what is this song from its so familiar too me 😂

Mercurysteam Samus is SO GOOD They nailed absolutely everything. I still hear those screams from the ending

Her reacting to Kraid by just nonchalantly charging her gun is one of the coolest things I've seen in a game

I can't unsee it.

@TakGoUp Samus bodylanguage in Dread is amazing My personal fav is against Kraid She hears something & gets battle ready She turns around,sees whatever it is & relaxes Why is she suddenly so casual? the camera pans & we see it's Kraid She knows how to handle him

I feel like Dread has some moments of Samus at her coolest. The dev team must really like her and the game is better for it!

This game has my favourite characterisation of Samus, her body language is incredibly well done!

This game is fantastic 😭

Samus is straight up disrespectful in dread

My favorite is before the Kraid fight where she’s stances up and ready to go, but the she realizes it’s just Kraid and eases up

The body language in this whole game is perfect

I can't believe mercurysteam just said "screw it, make samus The Doomslayer, but even more badass" and nintendo was okay with it

@spankzilla85 For me it is up there with the scene from Samus Returns where she checks the Power Bomb upgrade, and without breaking her line of sight with it she aims her cannon sideways at the damaged Diggernaut like "Oh you're still up, let me fix that" and blasts it to kingdom come.

Thardus is still the only one who doesn't put up with her cool ass

Samus is the COOLEST in Dread

Samus is like a sci-fi Jill Valentine, they both know how to look good while kicking ass and making monsters scared of facing them.

Samus just bleeds cool

The way she casually walks to the upper right of frame to give herself dominance first is just *chef’s kiss*

Samus is such a bad bitch for this.

Dread Samus feels like such a brutal overcorrection of her character, after what they did to her in Other M it is kinda hilarious But I adore it

I appreciate that they didnt just have Samus blast it down. She had a plan to use the already broken structure to make the creature take itself out. Just proper placement and a well placed shot was all she needed. The results of an experienced hunter.

If u have 38 minutes I highly recommend this video Suzi ! the animation work in this game is phenomenal !

That’s really hard on your knees

It really shows how experienced she's become. She's been through this so many times it takes a lot more to phase her now.

Samus Aran is THE dommy mommy of gaming

Samus is effortlessly cool in most of the cutscenes in Dread, almost makes up for the travesty that was her characterisation in Other: M…… almost

This game put Samus right up there with the Doom Slayer as the only silent protags I genuinely love.

That’s @mercurysteam for you…. They should develop Star Fox

After watching a whole retrospective on Samus’ history it really delivers her energy of experience and no nonsense, especially when it comes to the confidence in her abilities, not overestimating but being badass when it counts 💪

damn another game I want to play but just don't have time for it xD

never played metroid but I never seen her act this badass before seems unnecessary metinks

This was the moment I was like, "Samus is finally back." Nothing against Smash, but the high heels stuff, the Other M stuff, the way they tried so hard to make the armor look more female and sexualized her... I was so happy she got to be this badass after all that.
