That would explain the hair.

I find it incredibly hard to believe that people are actually comparing ZSS to the girls from DOA. Even if they changed her character design for the sole purpose (which I am not saying was the reason for the ZS design) of injecting some sort of sexuality into the Metroid series they did not go anywhere near the level of games like DOA, and a lot may argue they went in the direct opposite direction.
I do find that she's being led a bit in that direction. Now, the comparison isn't really warranted yet, but it's a possibility.

Another thing is a lot of you seem to equate being pretty or sexy to being weak, which simply is not true. For example, I once met a female Russian Olympic Gymnast who was built, in the since of muscle tone and fatty tissue (which includes the breast, which I have a feeling is at the heart of the issue, since if you have breast you are not athletic and you must be a whore, or at least that is how most people think in my observation), almost exactly how I would say that ZSS is, given a comparison to a stylized hand drawn character who is supposed to be six foot two and almost 200 lbs and a real life person who was probably a little over five foot and weighed probably 130 - 140 lbs. If you ask me a gymnast's body would be more conducive to Samus' way of life then say a body builders, considering all the jumping she does and the lack of real heavy lifting. Regardless of all that, maybe the Chozo blood effects her metabolism in such a way that it causes her to look like that.
Apparently you took my "lol bewbs" comment out of context. The complaints I have about Samus' frame are mostly that she just seemed too skinny and her shoulders should be broader. You do raise a good point about her being more gymnastic, but she's still labeled a warrior, and chances are she would do some wight training at least.
Your mentioning of her height though counters your entire argument, however. If she's meant to be 6'3''and 200 pounds, why doesn't she look it?

I'm with bill (oh god I'm slowly becoming bill =O), MP1 Samus did look realistic (it looks just like a real person 360 eat your heart out) but it really bland with no personalty while the brawl model look more toony than realistic but she actually has an personalty to her instead.
I don't know about you, but as far as personality goes, the MP2 model looked like they tried and
failed to add personality to her. But that's just me.

Her hair the same just a few inch longer all around
And wider, and that horrible color.

New law of the internet: if you haven't beaten Metroid Prime games or bitch about backtracking you are forbidden to talk about metroid or call yourself a metroid fanboy
HEY! I
LOVED the Prime games! I beat MP1 and the reason I didn't beat MP2 was because upon getting the Light Suit I got too distracted exploring places I had missed. I
LOVE exploring.

Her face is vomit MP2 I give you that, but brawl model is perfect.
Yeah, I must admit the model is no longer painful to look at.

Agreed.

I guess a game where someone can be infused with an alien species' blood and not have their body immediately reject it, or a game where one could fight a dragon that has the ability to fly in the vacuum of space, or a game where a powerful galactic civilization would send a single person on a mission that has already killed two groups of trained soldiers could be called realistic. 
Compared to a game where you play as a fat Italian plumber fighting giant turtles and walking mushrooms to save a princess, yes it is realistic.

The other characters have "highlights" in the hair so that it doesn't look like one glob of solid color. Why not ZSS?
Exactly! I've NEVER seen anyone with hair that yellow.

Well, that's one way to look at it.
