Editing List of other SSBU characters (section)

==Metroid characters==
*Samus Aran - Famed bounty hunter known across the galaxy and raised by the Chozo, Samus debuted in the original ''Metroid'', completion of which revealed the shocking surprise that, in spite of the game's manual using masculine pronouns, Samus was a woman. Samus has been a part of the ''SSB'' series since the first game.

*Zero Suit Samus - Debuting in ''Metroid: Zero Mission'', this separate character was still Samus Aran, albeit in a skintight cyan suit instead of her Varia Suit. In this appearance, she relies on her Chozo DNA and training, as well as her Paralyzer gun, instead of her Varia Suit's various weapons. First appearing in the ''SSB'' series as a transformable character in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', Samus was able to swap between her Varia Suit and Zero Suit with usage of her Final Smash. In the games following, Zero Suit Samus was separated into her own individual character slot due to technical limitations on the 3DS. The character can be unlocked by:
**Going through VS Matches, with Zero Suit Samus being the 19th character to unlock, or Classic Mode with Fox and those in his unlock tree up to Captain Falcon. After either condition is met, she must be defeated on Brinstar.
**Recruiting her in the volcanic area in the World of Light.

*Ridley - The iconic villain of the ''Metroid'' series first appeared in the original ''Metroid'', and has appeared in nearly every game following, usually as a major antagonist. In the ''Metroid Prime'' games, he was revived by the Space Pirates by cybernetic technology and became Meta Ridley. He has appeared throughout the ''SSB'' series, usually as a boss or a non-playable character, before becoming a playable character in ''Ultimate'' - this is noteworthy, as he had been requested by fans ever since the first game. The character can be unlocked by:
**Going through VS Matches, with Ridley being the 25th character to unlock, or Classic Mode with Yoshi and those in his unlock tree up to Lucina. After either condition is met, he must be defeated on Norfair.
**Recruiting him in Forest Hill in the World of Light.

*Dark Samus - A being created from Phazon energy and the Metroid Prime itself, this dark doppelgänger first appeared as a major character in ''Metroid Prime 2: Echoes''. She later appeared in the ''SSB'' series as an Assist Trophy in the 3DS/Wii U installments, before being upgraded to a playable character in ''Ultimate''. The character can be unlocked by:
**Going through VS Matches, with Dark Samus being the 50th character to unlock, or Classic Mode with Samus and those in her unlock tree up to Incineroar. After either condition is met, she must be defeated on Frigate Orpheon.
**Recruiting her in The Final Battle portion in the World of Light.
