I love how in each game she loses all her gear and you have to go around and find it all.
I know it’s for gameplay reasons but lore wise it makes me think that even though she’s the best bounty hunter in the galaxy Samus is really bad at keeping her shit together. Like I imagine her with severe adhd going on a mission and getting halfway there before realizing she left all her bounty hunting shit at home.
I remember this. There has to be a higher-res scan of this out there somewhere.

Here we go. Lemme upload a copy.

Hasn’t had the seam in the magazine pages cleaned up, but you can reasonably read the text and such.
Done! Updated the post image, too.
Damn, nice! Thanks!
Oh!
There’s some overlap in the image for the seam.
BRB, time to activate my re-draw powers again.
Its lacking an example of her morph ball form. Does she become like a caterpillar in a chrysalis?
Yes.
I had this players guide as a kid! My mom got it for me because we were both obsessed with Super Metroid and we kept getting stuck on certain levels lol
Isn’t that pretty heavy for her height and build? Or is the weight including the armor.
6’3" 200lbs is about right for a fit male. I imagine her muscularity plus future stuff like diet and augmentation would make that realistic for a female.
It isn’t off by an order of magnitude, so that could be down to the fact she isn’t wholly human. It’s probable that her enhanced genetics increase bone and muscle density.
Yeah…seems like it’d be pretty light if you include the armor, though, if it’s power-assisted.
Samus Aran also lives in the future. We also don’t know how medical, genetic engineering, nutritional, or such changes might alter human physiology in the future, and that could be pretty substantial.
Prior to WW2, Japan didn’t have access to a lot of milk.
Subsequent to WW2, Japan started importing a lot of milk.
The average Japanese height shot up.

This doesn’t have “age at 18”, which is what the chart I’m remembering had and is probably a better metric, but here:
https://heightcomparison.us/average-height-in-japan/
Japanese men who are 80+ years old average 5 feet, 3.8 inches. Japanese men age 20-24 average 5 feet, 7.7 inches.
Jesus, did Liefeld draw that foot?
No way, there aren’t enough pockets lol
It’s drawn like a foot and not a toothpick, so no I don’t think so.
As long as she never moves the arms she’s good.
