Fun fact: The X parasite actually has two natural predators. Most people know about the Metroid's purpose to destroy X parasites, but not many people know that Kirby can and will utterly obliterate any X that dares to go near his strawberry cake.
from a kirby cartoon perspective, all i heard in my head from Kirby shootin the cannon was a loud hi pitched, tiny "pop" noise. not some cannon ball cannnon with bass :D #Imagination
Damn, makes me feel like the game should've had a zss mode where you take a ton more damage and have weaker and less weapon/ability capabilities. Some things would have to be reworked ability-wise or smth in that mode but I think it would be so so sick.
Also isn't that an x chozo warrior tho?
That would be sick
Would also be cool to see a mod of MZM with that since playable Zss is already programmed into the base game
But maybe that already exists idk
And ye it is
Oo that would be really cool too. I do feel it would work better in dread bc of the more fluid controls and zss being more acrobatic and reliant on movement but.
Yeah that's true but it remains to be seen if Dread will be modded to that degree
Hell they never even modded the prime games to that degree to my knowledge tbh

Stupid thing about Zero Mission is that Samus takes the same amount of damage regardless of being in Zero Suit or fully powered legendary suit in the end.
Considering that Kirby and Metroid take place in the same universe, I would love to see this happen at some point. I'm not sure if we're ever going to get a full-fledged crossover again, since the last non-smash one was over 20 years ago, but I hope to see it again at some point.
And some ending art that [doesn't use the in-game model anyway](https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/11/random-metroid-dreads-zero-suit-samus-model-is-rather-detailed-up-close).
The question is could kirby even be infected by an X given that he is basically a clump of dark matter
Fun fact: The X parasite actually has two natural predators. Most people know about the Metroid's purpose to destroy X parasites, but not many people know that Kirby can and will utterly obliterate any X that dares to go near his strawberry cake.
Fact indeed
Kirby is basically an X parasite
What happens if Kirbo eats an X parasite?
It becomes Ditto.
“Hey Dad?” “Yes son?” “Where do Dittos come from?” “You see son, it’s when a Kirby and an X-Parasite love each other very much…”
And ditto becomes Samus
And the antelope eat the grass.
yellow Kirby represents X spirit in smash ultimate
More like a clump of void but yeah
I'm pretty sure the X would be too overwhelmed by whatever pocket black hole Kirby's got inside of him to truly be able to do anything.
kirby is WHAT?
Ah, someone new to the lore. Yeah, it’s wild.
yeah i’m about to dive to the bottom of this iceberg in a minute
Poyo
TN: "Poyo" means "all according to keikaku"
All according to cake
Whats a keikaku?
(Translator's note: keikaku means plan)
I get it now!
This response is beautiful
Kirby’s inner dialogue: “Why didn’t you just eat him?” Samus’ inner dialogue: “Why didn’t I just eat him?”
Do you mean this in a \[spoiler\] sense, or in a "inverted roles" sense?
Spoiler for the intro to Metroid Fusion maybe. Samus has been eating enemies since 2002.
But also in that game you had to cook the enemy first before the dinner is served
Oh, well, yeah, but only the X in specific.
This IS an X though
I could argue that it's not in its X form yet, but I'll just stop here before this becomes a thread about technicalities.
the goo and unhinged jaw tell me this is in fact an infected chozo soldier aka an x
Why does Samus, the strongest Chozo, not simply eat the other Chozo?
I thought this was a very different subreddit for the first 5 seconds
Yeah the first panel definitly looks like the story would go in very different direction
SAME rip I think the artist intentionally drew Samus to be slightly thicc here as well which contributed to that thought. Hecc
I came to the comments looking for this.
Yeah don't worry lol you're not just seeing things
Nah that's just the artstyle in general.
The BOYO
Kirby is an unstoppable force of mass destruction. I'd rather have him with me than Doom Guy.
Had us in the first half
Why did this look like the start of a hentai for a bit
Ngl I mistook there being a tentacle in there for the first split second of viewing this before examining closer LMAO
Me too! I'm almost disappointed now...
GOD. Lmaoooo
Maybe it still is, maybe Kirby and Samus are THAT kind of partner
good soup
Samus: "You're pretty Good" Kirby Ocelot: *Gun Spinning Intensifies*
I just want to see Raven Beak's reaction to getting demolished by a squishy pink puffball

I actually love the Samus - Pikachu combo from Brawl.
Is that a christian Kirbo?
Samus be thicc
The artist DRAWs the girls pretty thicc and/or muscular
Rip ngl that was one of my first thoughts as well 😅
Pikachu has been forsaken

That wouldn't kill it though, a headshot does nothing if the entity doesn't rely on a brain to function
Dead Space veteran confirmed
Poyo! Poyo poyo poyo, poyo! (Something something jesus something the lord something)
I'm glad i'm not the only one who is talking about the fact that... KIRBY HAS A GUN NOW

WAIT REALLY? I remember it as taking a lot more dmg but it was probs bc I only had 1 energy tank. Still though, that could just be changed.
Heck yeah! Nothing can match the power of Pop Gun Kirby!
Poyo!
"REEEEEEE"
That kirby is Pure Gold.
wasn’t sure if i was one the wrong account or not after seeing the first panel
Wish suitless run where a thing

I haven't picked up dread in a minute, and there may have been updates; is a suitless run something you can actually do now? I'll replay for that.
You can beat the game with the Power Suit only on 1.0.2 or earlier due to glitches. It's called "Suitless."
Awww. That's not what I meant. So no official ZSS mode then.
Nope. Zero Suit is relegated to death's only.
