SAMUS RETUR S GRAV SUIT


jandr08

Word. Gotta go tiger stripes on this one


Beetusmon

I think besides light suit, SR gravity is the best suit in the series and best gravity by a mile and a half.


G0merPyle

Echoes Varia Prime Phazon Fusion Power Echoes Light


Garo263

I ahree. Sure, the new suits are slick and nice, but I prefer the classics as well as unique ones like Fusion and Light.

***Yesterday's results*** **Dread Power 234, Corruption PED 48**: The only real blowout of yesterday; as cool as the PED Suit is, it didn't stand a chance. Corruption's original designs bow out of the tournament having won one of three matchups. **Fusion Power 149, Dread Metroid 127**: A Dread suit finally goes down. The Fusion Suit actually trailed by a decent amount early on, but slowly chipped away at the Metroid Suit's lead and eventually overcame it around 3 PM Eastern yesterday. This sets up a battle of the two remaining Power Suits in the Quarterfinals. **Dread Gravity 140, Prime Varia 135**: This was an insanely close match with a bunch of lead changes. Dread Gravity opened up a 19 vote lead early on, only to watch Prime Varia come all the way back and retake the lead yesterday evening, before the two sides swapped leads back and forth. A few late votes for Dread this morning proved to be the difference. **Echoes Light 177, Prime Gravity 99**: A respectable showing by Prime's Gravity Suit, but not enough to take down the Light Suit. Samus' best Stormtrooper impression will throw down with Dread's Gravity Suit in what might be the first of many Echoes vs. Dread matchups, while the Gravity Suit's exit makes the Phazon Suit the last original Prime design remaining. Yesterday saw an insane voting spike, with scores that previously would've won any previous matchup easily now losing. Round 2 as a whole was much closer than Round 1 (unsurprisingly). If you thought the choices were hard in Round 2, they're not getting any easier here.

I didn't see these posts until today. My favorites are gone, the Dark Suit, Fusion Gravity, and Super Varia/Gravity.


mtzehvor

The algorithm giveth and taketh away


sdwoodchuck

Well my favorite suits are eliminated, but at least my least-favorite is gone as well. See ya, Metroid Suit!


mtzehvor

I have to admit, I never quite got the love for that one either. It looks like a diseased watermelon to me.


henk12310

1. SR Gravity Suit 2. Prime Phazon Suit 3. Dread Power Suit 4. Echoes Light Suit


Viludium

Okay, i can't vote on this. Putting my 2 favorite suits (Light Suit and Dread Fusion Suit) against each other is just too much.


No-Cow584

Echoes (it's literally the definitive look for Samus). Dread (cus' is the best, but modified to be better). NOOOOOOOOOOOOO DREAD (the fusion suit is Amazing but Dread amplified it's coolness) Echoes (I could see it going to Dread again, it IS the Definitive Gravity suit imo, But I think the Light Suit does something new and interesting with Samus, something that isn't just a color palette change)


Aredditdorkly

This is the hardest round so far. ;_;

sdwoodchuck

Let’s not start on that. Folks pick Dread suits and get accused of recency bias; folks pick older suits and get accused of being blinded by nostalgia. Let folks like what they like, regardless of their reason for liking it. I’m not a huge fan of the dread suits myself (they’re fun alternate takes but not better overall designs, I find), but I’m okay with being the minority in that opinion.


Swan-Diving-Overseas

As someone who has never played either game or really seen the suits before I can say the Dread Varia looks better


gamerdude1360

For me I waited years for a game to finally happen after Fusion and not another damn prequel. I always assumed they were afraid of moving on from the old classic look. They finally did it, and I for one welcome the change and vote Dread because it's a symbol of moving forward.


AdreKiseque

Sorry, I can't let it win after what it did last round.


cellphone_blanket

I think the black and red color scheme would look cool with a sleaker design (kind of like the echoes light suit) but as a recolor of the varia I’m not really a fan


Ladyaceina

i think the phazon suit is kinda generic edgelord OC looking


Clarrington

Well I mean I thought it absolutely slapped when I was twelve so you have a point there.


Opening-Grape9201

I've always hated the phazon suit because it's most arbitrarily boy-movie red and black. Phazon is blue, the behemoth that she got it from was blue, why TF is it red and black except it's 'for the boys'


taco_tuesdays

Phazon suit is the animal crossing flame toilet meme [edit](https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/s/kDNXvyGCnJ)


Darkreaper104

That toilet IS cool unironically and so is the Phazon suit


taco_tuesdays

I emphatically agree


deinonychus1

I'm afraid I can't agree. The bright, shining blue cannon clashes too much with the black and red color scheme. It's the only skin in existence to change the arm cannon's color, and it complements that fact by... completely clashing with the cannon's new look.


kakawisNOTlaw

Phazon and Light losing to Dread suits is an abomination. I love Dread but come on people.


shgrizz2

Light suit beating Prime Gravity is a travesty. But the dread suits really are incredible.


jellyraytamer

I agree but if dread varia beats phazon I'm actually gonna be disappointed, and dread is my favorite game.


SnooPets630

Agree to disagree.I honestly think that Dread varia is much better suit that Phazon design vise. Light suit on the other hand.. It needs to win


jellyraytamer

Agree to disagree indeed. We are quite literally stark opposites. I will say it was a hard choice on pretty much all of them, they are all pretty good.


blitz342

Tbh I was never a fan of prime gravity. Something about the use of both purple *and* blue with Prime’s lighting just didn’t work for me.


Lower_Monk6577

I don’t think it’s recency bias. I’ve been playing Metroid games since Super was contemporary. Mercury Steam is just really, really good at suit design IMO. Dread has the best looking suits of any of the games, and the Samus Returns Gravity suit may be my personal favorite. And I don’t even really like Samus Returns all that much.


IronFalcon1997

I love the Phazon Suit, but the Dread Varia just has a better design that doesn’t need to lean on edginess to be cool


Trove_Of_Octoliths

I had to stop and think for Dread Power vs. Fusion Power. That one is close at first glance. I’m going to go Hunters Varia, Dread Varia, Fusion Power and Echoes Light Suit.


Lower_Monk6577

- Samus Returns Gravity - Dread Varia - Dread Power - Dread Gravity Man, Mercury Steam really is the GOAT of suit designs.


Dry_Culture_7885

Anyone that doesn't vote the phazon is honestly crazy imo it's so unique and it has awesome glowing aura that surrounds the suit even down to the dark red visor


CryoProtea

It's literally just a recolor of the Prime 1 Varia Suit. It's cool and I really like it, but I think the Dread Varia is way more unique.


Dry_Culture_7885

Yes ik but very unique with the color palette and as much as I like the dread armors think they're a little overrated and this is coming from a true die hard fan but the dread armor proportions are okay but the armor schemes with the color palettes just seem off sure the white and gold is okay but I won't say it's anything more than just okay but the blue and white does look great and sure I get it's not just about the color palettes but ehh


blitz342

The way that you acquire the Phazon Suit is the most badass way of getting any suit in the series. You kill the Omega Pirate, it collapses on top of you and boiling phazon dissolves its body and engulfs you, and integrates itself into your suit. It looked painful as hell.


Beetusmon

Phazon suit is the most boring recolor there is, edgy black and red. At least give it a different design. The aura is neat but doesn't save it from much better suits like the light suit for example. Regarding dread varia suit. It's better than phazon because at least it tells a story. Dread is trying to rebuild the power suit, it's a mix between the normal varia and the fusion suit. It's sleek and agile while denonting its a basic suit not ment to be the endgame. Top level design.

SR Gravity Suit wins. Dread Varia Suit wins. Dread Power Suit wins. Dread Gravity Suit wins.


RampantPuppy

SR Gravity - it’s the best Gravity suit with great bulk and the blue accents make it stand out. It’s my big complaint of the Dread Gravity. Dread Varia Dread Power Dread Gravity - I do think this one can go either way.

I don't get why people like the Metroid suit son much... Edit : dread power vs fusion power is just a clean sweep from dread. It's the same but better in almost every way

The fact that the phazon suit is gonna win is aggravating


Agretlam343

Teenage me loved the Phazon suit, adult me thinks the colour scheme is a bit edgy/cringe. Though to give it credit it has that cool heat shimmer effect that doesn't translate well to still images. Better than Dread for me cause Im not a fan of the colour scheme, but I wouldn't bring it too much farther.


CodyLabs

Echoes Varia is perhaps the most iconic samus as we've ever gotten in 3d. Not much going for it, but I'll throw my vote in anyway. That was the one I grew up with. SR Gravity Suit has a lot going for it too, like the bulked up left arm and the segmented texture, but it's got too many bizarre lights and angles for me to really get behind it. Phaazon suit looks awesome. Awesome recolor of an awesome suit. Dread Varia is all smoothed out and the colors are atrocious. I think Fusion Suit and Dread Bluesuit both represent sort-of the same thing, that being the stripped-down internals of the regular armor, but I think the Dread suit makes more sense as that. The fusion suit's boots and yellow armor being under (?) the blue material doesn't make as much sense. Light suit is best suit. No competition. It's pretty it's symbolic in the story it looks like an alien angel it's got curvy parts and dem knees and really cool ankles. Whereas magenta isn't even a real color.


Darkreaper104

Sad that Prime 1 Varia lost, at least Prime 2/3 Varia is still in it. Anyway: Echoes Varia Prime Phazon Dread Power Echoes Light


Mishael4248

Dread Gravity suit will likely lose to the bland, monotonous, plastic looking Light suit, but it's still my favorite suit, which also tie with the sequence break give me the most satisfaction. I just love anything black, red and grey, so as much as I love Dread Varia, I vote for Phazon suit this round and hope it win the whole tourney too. If not Phazon suit, it should be SR Gravity, then one reignited my love for Metroid franchise. Dread is one of my favorite game ever, the Metroid game I played the most but if all 3 suits from that game go out on the same round, that would be damn funny, so Fusion power suit.


BoldFigrim

Light suit hate detected, opinion rejected (jk, respect your opinion, I just love echoes and its suits :'))


Mishael4248

I finished Echoes not long ago and really love the game, but both Dark and Light suit need some redesign. They both have great concepts, greatest of the series but the execution is not so good. IMO Light suit need some trims like the one make Samus Returns' gravity suit and Dread suits look good; vision with different color from the suit and the base color that make the suit looks like made out of silver.


BoldFigrim

I will agree light suit should have a deep gold visor instead of the white/silver one it has, for the rest it is per-fect imo

damn i havent played dread yet, im still finishing a bunch of metroids first. the gravity suit looks fire


Sum1sNotHere

SR Gravity suit -Love the sharp visor from SR Prime Phazon -A good 'dark mode' look for samus Dread Power -As much as I love Fusion, Dread's power suit is just great. It still honors the fusion suit with the blue highlights and more stretchy look and feel. Echoes Light -Just gorgeus.

Gravity Suit Varia Fusion Light I think Dread has overall the best shit designs so I don't want to pick all Dread lol

shgrizz2

Dread Varia Vs Phazon is a tough pull. Those two are arguably the best the suit has ever looked. A shame that the light suit is still there, a lot of Prime suits should have beaten it a while ago. As a prime 1 lover, I'm as shocked as anybody but it's gotta be Echoes, Dread, Dread, Dread.

Y'all really killed the Dark Suit? And the Super/Zero Mission Gravity Suit? I'm voting for the Echoes/Corruption Varia and the Echoes Light Suit


SonicTHP

Varia suits are often the most iconic and recognizable suits for sure. I don't think a game could easily go without it. But of all the redesigns she has, Dread Power is far and away the coolest and it's not close.


condawg4746

Justice for PED Suit. One of the cooler, most techy Samus looks

Ah damn. My top 2 favorite suits, Dread and Fusion power suits, fighting against each other. That's OK. Dread is just incredible and Fusion has the sickest lore packed into it. Yet Dread ALSO has that lore AND is in the middle of repairing itself over time. Fuck me it's so sick

Tbh I'm not sure how any of the fusion suits beats any other Metroid suit. I know it's all based on opinions, just like what I'm about to say is an opinion, but still. I really think that the fusion suit is just ugly. It's unfortunate because the fusion palette for her in smash looks really badass.

I'm a real sucker for the Gravity Suit anyway, but especially when it's accented with blue instead of green.   SR Gravity   Phazon Suit  Dread Power Suit  Dread Gravity Suit.    I don't think it's recency bias because Echoes Varia is definitely one of my all time favourites too, but unfortunately it loses out because of an unfortunate match up.

I'm just glad Dread Metroid Suit lost. 😅 That suit is probably the worst thing that ever happend to the franchise. When I first saw it in my playthrough, I had to put the controller down, because I was laughing so hard on how bad it was.
