ok.

wrong. this is samus.

You're both wrong

>>6224317
get a clue, grow a chin & get some testosterone you fucking nu-male.

>>6224330
this guy gets it.

>>6224317
I know OP is just having fun, but I hate that people actually think like this.

>>6224317
The game drew heavily from the movie Alien. Ridley was named after Ridley Scott. Samus was based on Ellen Ripley, Sigourney Weaver's character in the series, so yes she was originally intended to be a tall, tough woman.

>>6224317
Samus is 6'3. Other M is a monstrosity.

>the real samus is the one that is more convenient to my estrogen filled emasculated agenda
Big yikes oof chief

>>6224345
HUH? it's the other way , only high T men like oem samus

OP's image is American art from Nintendo Power, typical Boris Valejo era American fantasy/scifi style illustration but not necessarily authentic to the creators' original vision. I do like to think of her as a bit "harder" than the modern iterations though.

>>6224350
whatever helps you sleep at night. I'm sure your wife's son is impressed by your super metroid speedrun.

I, too, miss the days when Samus being out of her suit was a rarity and we assumed that Samus spend most of her downtime drinking her nightmares away in bars.

>>6224352
Am I misremembering or wasn't the OP image also in the manual for Super Metroid? If it is, was it in the grolious nipponaise manual, too?

>>6224373
I'm misremembering. I just looked up the manual and it ain't in there.

>>6224373
it isn't in the US Super Metroid manual, no. It's an advertising image.

>>6224384
One second too late, amigo. : (

>>6224317
This is the real samus, frens

>>6224317
> Samus is a butch truck driver dyke.
0/10 bait, that doesn’t describe Benimaru Itoh’s Samus at all.
>>6224352
>>6224383
>>6224384
>ITT: People who never read the Nintendo Power comics
Benimaru Itoh is a Japanese artist who made officially licensed comics based on Star Fox, Super Metroid, and Mother 2. He also contributed artwork to the first two Star Fox games.

>>6224497
neither of them describe other m's insta model

>>6224554
>Other M
compared to the other shit he worked on, this is Hayashii's biggest failure
yes, im even including the original NG3. at least Razor's Edge played good.

>B*nimaru Samus
get better taste
a western nintendo comic did it better

>>6224634
To this day I don’t know how they pulled Samus off so well in those comics. The art was on point and they actually gave her a likable personality. Didn’t she flirt with Kevin a few times?

>in the original comic, you have some greedy fat texan saving samus' ass each time she told him to fuck off on the bounty
yeah nah, that ain't it chief.
he's still pretty funny tho

>>6224634
so has people figure out the lady in the back is actually a redesigned Palutena?

>>6224642
nah shes supposed to be OC

>>6224642
Princess Lana != Palutena. Faggot.

>>6224638
>>6224638
unbelievably based. Samus was a fucking fox in this series.

Metroid is a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything

>>6225012
Holy crap, that's a cool box art.

>>6224317
The original Samus was an anime girl with green hair and a leotard/one piece swimsuit.

This is the real Mega Man, frens, not a smol boy robot like nu-Capcom would have you believe. Instead, the real Mega Man is an awkward and terrified hipster with a gun. Like it or not, you can see it's the original canon.

>>6225341
How is that a hipster

>>6224317
You clearly didn't see the original ending to Metroid. Samus is a babe, not a butch truck driver dyke.

True OG.

>>6225021
She had brown hair. Green was when she had the Varia.

>>6224317
where did this image come from

>>6225341
Based

>>6225341
ahem ahem

>>6224317
But that pic is everything you say Samus isn't. Pic related is more like it (incidentally the first pic of Samus I ever saw way back when).

>>6226294
that's rockman, not megaman, you fucking idiot

>>6226309

>>6224554
I approve of all these designs. Sexy but definitely athletic

>>6224317
>>6224327
>>6224461
This is Seamus.

>>6226309
>>6226339
That art is lending more credence to the tranny samus theory, imo

>>6225341
No this is the real mega man frens. A stubby little GREEN midget robot with a sweet visor and the voice of a has been female body builder with a 4 pack a day habit.

>>6224317

God I want to lick her armpits

GOD PLEASE LET ME DO IT

>>6226367
Metroid II is my favorite. Super Metroid giving her that big floofy 90s hair and black spandex just makes her look like a slut, imho
>>6225459
This anime looks right up my alley. Thanks for making me aware of it, kind stranger.
>>6226416
Just imagine the taste after she's been in that suit all day battling aliens. Unnfff.

>>6226501
every hairstyle is floofy, every outfit is skintight.

>>6225356
he looks like a redditor with a gun

>>6225474
and thank god its varia, that means its the main face

how does it feel the Zero Suit ruined the Metroid 1 leotard to where it got censored?
coomers will defend this

>>6226917
I love this version of Samus.

>>6225341
Mega Oof

>>6224317
How in the hell can her feet withstand in using metal-plated insoles in that suit of hers? Yeah "hurr durr Chozo shit" but even then that has its own limits.

>>6227934
It can literally morph into a ball

Excuse me but why is progress in the first metroid hidden under illusory lava pits that look exactly like regular lava pits but disappear when you jump in them ?

>>6229027
Because.

>>6226386
This is Ramus.

>>6229027
Because fuck you, fucking bitch

play zero mission

>>6229027
Because it's 1986 and fuck you, you're going to get your $60 worth of exploring bitch

>>6227934
How in the hell can anyone withstand in reading your ESL autism?

>>6229135
cute

>>6224554
So why does Samus get naked in the endings?

>>6229143
They're in zero mission as well. Spend an hour running around like a fool only to find i had to jump into the bottomless lava pit to advance so what did i start doing from then on? Jump into every lava pit i came across while i should have been trying to do the opposite.

>>6229220
I don't know what to say, I beat that when I was 6

>>6229250
By jumping into lava pools that looks exactly like every other lava pools which kill you but these don't. There's two of them!

>>6229186
same reason i take my socks off after work before fucking your mom

>>6226917
Those are simply the fruits of the SR devs being too lazy to show skin. Even her hands are encased in her suit.

>>6229220
I beat it without ever looking shit up, don't know what to tell you man
