Dark Samus
Discovered by Prime Hunter
By hitting Dark Samus with a Hyper Missile at the following times, she can be stunned for several seconds. Even if you mistime the shot, she will put up the barrier that protects her, which usually cancels whatever she's doing at the time:
- Right after she stops moving
- Right before she starts moving
- As she's about to lower her missile barrier
- During certain ground attacks
Later, when she starts cloning herself, you can turn on the X-Ray visor to see which DS is the real one. The real one is the one that doesn't blend into the background. (Found this out through Gamespot's Game Guide, so I really shouldn't get credit for it.)
When she has a single clone and the two of them start spinning around with the lasers, you can easily avoid them by morphing. You can also attempt to Hyper Ball the two of them by staying inbetween them for some quick damage.
Once she starts spinning around with the two clones and attempts to collide with you, you can avoid this attack by Screw Attacking across the battlefield. As as added bonus, they usually end up spinning right through your Screw Attack and damage themselves in the process several times per crossing. (This can sometimes kill one or both of the clones depending on the timing.)
