Smash Bros. Ultimate: 5 New Characters Revealed!

4. Dark Samus (Echo)

Smash King K Rool Feature
Nintendo

Yes, you guessed it: Dark Samus is the emo 'echo' of Samus. The bounty hunter's evil alter-ego first appeared in Metroid Prime 2's groady mirror world Dark Aether, reappearing with a distinct case of Phazon poison in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Her design in Smash Ultimate more closely resembles this latter appearance, and like Dark Pit, you can expect her to play pretty much identical to her better half. Except evil.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
