Official Samus Discussion
« on: August 09, 2007, 02:35:35 PM »
Let me start this off.:

Why the bloody, bloody hell does she leave her armor? It's a choice between a jumpsuit and a fricken suit of power armor with a cannon mounted on the arm. Why? There should be no gain in that, only a loss of endurance.

Also, why sexualized her so? She's one of the few video game heroines that hadn't been sexualized, now this (I didn't like the out-of-armor parts of Metriod Zero Mission, either). Is it too much she stay as a cold-blooded world-weary warrior instead of yet another cliche videogame babe?

It's bloody power armor. If anything it would make you move faster.

Hopefully the two-forms and incredible hotness will put her where she deserves to be, the top tier, solidly over Shiek, if Shiek is still in the game, even. And only then will Smash Brothers be better than Halo 3 and Metal Gear Solid 4 put together.

Lemme see... At the age of three her home planet of K-2L was attacked by Space Pirates and everyone she knew was killed. Samus was taken in by the Chozo race, infused with their DNA and trained as a warrior. Became a bounty hunter who was hugely sucessful. Hired as a mercenary by the Federation to take on entire fortresses alone, while barely saying a single word.

That picture seems hardly fitting.

And why is it a bikini/jumpsuit? Shouldn't it be some high-tech under-armor that connects her nervous system to the suit?

There is only one Samus I hold dear in my heart, and this is she.

Don't try to start a debate about how Chozo technology works, because it'll go nowhere...

Sure I can. Sure they could theoretically do anything, but it would be much easier to have the armor link directly to the user's nervous system.

EDIT: Actually, because Samus' suit isn't invincible, their technology is limited.

How do you know that that hot Bikini isn't some high-tech under armor that connects her nervous system to the suit?

...Because it's a bikini, and the best place to connect to the suit would either be through the spinal column or the back of the neck, neither of which are covered by a bikini?

I don't see a need for a neural uplink. All the suit needs is a negative feedback pressure system to do what the user wants it to do.

A neural link would bypass the need for the muscles to function at all and speed things up. Nanoseconds count.

Touché, but there's still no uplink.

Maybe they've got a wireless neurotransmitter?

High levels of radiation can screw with transmissions, and if the enemy jams it you're paralyzed. Wired connections are easier to troubleshoot, too.

Ok for starter I have that complete NP comic series and its really good.  All the ones they did were really good and its a shame they stopped.

Now for the suit.  Personally it makes more sense to have a flexible form fitting inner suit for a number of reasons.  First of all its almost always a bad idea to be hardwired into something you like to take off.  I propose that the form fitting suit allows for more gradular temperature control and makes contact with the skin.  Thus being able to read the electric current running through the user much like an EKG, I think that is the one that does brain monitoring.  Then the skin tight suit has connections that feeds the data into the outer armor.  This is all assuming that it works on that sort of principle instead of working like a modern piece of armor.  Thinking about it the long hair makes less sense then the skin tight suit or even the bikini.

Flexible and form-fiitng, yes, but jumpsuit no.

Connectors can be removed and disconnected. Chances are Samus doesn't do a lot of switching, only at the start of a mission and the end.

However, the same effect could be done by a link to the nervous system. Re-rout motions for the user's arms to the suit's motors. Messages such as pain could be ignored and instead only displayed as a damage report, analyzed and treated with the correct dose of cellular regrowth stimulants.

It's not military regulation, but as long as it's in a pony tail and hid in the back sections of the helmet so it's not in her face it will be fine.    

Edit: I need sleep. Leave a comment and I'll respond sometime tomorrow.

How does she go to the bathroom in a form fitting inner suit? Hmmmm, yeah I thought so.
