As for my favorite super beam? Probably hyper. Only because it has a strong emotional attachment to it as well as being totally bad ass. Plus you don't have to stand in a pool of Phazon to beable to use it.


Emotional attachment?

Well if you remember at the end of Super Metroid, Mother Brain drains all your energy. Just before you're about to die, the hatchling comes and drains Mother Brain and restores your energy. Then she kills the Hatchling and Samus gets pissed and gains the Hyper Beam as a result. So in a way she was furious because Mother Brian killed the hatchling and she gained a new super beam because of it. There's your emotional attachment.

I could've sworn that was one of the powers the metroid gave her when he replenished her energy.

Actually a little bit comes from the comic as well, but the metroid dind't give her the hyper beam, it just replenished her energy. Think about it: If your "baby" (Technically she liked the hatchling as if it were her child) and it saved your life and died for you, wouldn't you be a bit pissed at the one who killed it?

It's also possible because Samus's suit basically is an extention of her body, so it could react to emotions such as anger. (If she gets distracted the suit won't protect her as said in the comics(example)).

Does anybody have scans of this comic?
If I were to trip, would the result be an explosion or a duck?
Will make plots for food.

Well she'd definitely be angry but how exactly could she supply her cannon with that kind of power focus?
I have many moods...
Mostly which center around "sensible and thoughtful" or "random and stupid".
I never have the same mood. It switches with every post.

Like I said, the suit is an extention of her body. Kind of like a second skin, if she senses danger, the suit shall protect her. It probibly just fed off her emotions and adreneline and powered her beam up.

Kind of like if you're angry at someone you get this sudden rush of adreniline and then start beating the crap out of that person. The suit kind of works the same way I think.

If Aura's sources are reliable, then Nintendo is telling us.

Through the Nintendo Power comics. I don't hold much credit to those, but they do get the basics down right. So I trust in what Samus says in the comic.

Did samus even get the hyper beam in that one? I thought she just shot the crap out of mother brain.

I don't think she gets any upgrades in the comic. Sad to say they didn't even use the Morph Ball, or the Screw Attack.

IMO, that means the comic is EVIL!!! and unreliable.

Hey, the comics DID introduce a lot of things never mentioend before that are now canon. Such as, you know, the existence of K2L at all. Plus the naming of the chozo...
