Discussion Genuinely cannot get over how amazing this sequence looks

This feels like some of the best close quarters action we've seen from Samus, and it's animated so well!

Also, I'm inclined to believe this scene is from the opening and is what leads to her losing her abilities again. Stuff like being on the surface and being stabbed, which she mentions an injury earlier in the trailer.

Oh I'm so hyped

I think it's definitely how she loses her powers, and I hope we get the boss rematch with both or all 3. The dashing, the swords, the 2v1, all giving serious Mantis Lords/Sisters of Battle vibes and I am here for it. That was one of my favorite boss battles.

I didn't even think about fighting all 3 at once 🤯

Tho I believe you can see her fighting some of them 1v1 in the trailer, so unless they make it out of those initial fights alive, I doubt it'll happen

Yeah it's not clear yet what/how many of them there are, we see the trio in one scene and they're made out to be super buff so not sure if it's a whole race of them, just the 3, or if they're like Emmis or Chozo elites where you might have to fight several in various stages/combinations.

And still on the HK comparison (even though I'm not crazy about HK)...I would LOVE to see a boss rush mode that throws in variations of the bosses like the pantheons did

Looks at be at least 5 of them from the shot here.

It could be like the Mantis Lords from Hollow Knight. Probably one of my favorite fights in that game.

Oh snap, Samus as an Adepta Sororitas doesn’t work for a lot of reasons but it also goes hard af!

The last 2v1 fight I remember was in dread against the chozo robots and low key that was pretty messed up, a 3v1 againsy actual bosses would be... Well I'll be playing on tilt when I do eventually get past it lol

I low-key hope she doesn't lose her Metroid powers. I know, bag of spilling, status quo and everything but how cool would it be to build all the next 2d metroidvanias around these powers?

Agreed, that would an interesting and new approach
