Both of those suits are incredibly non-standard for her. Both were only given to her through outside help, are explicitly far above her regular suits, and are immediately lost at the end of their games, permanently. It’d be like giving Rock the Chaos Emeralds from the comics. Without those suits, she’s probably more like country level, since all the high-end Metroid calcs come from Dark Samus. Even if she is small planet, that’s not enough to really do much to a large planet character, the difference is surprisingly big. Yeah cause Rock has totally used stuff like his time stopper more than one occasion also Samus can still blitz Rock I mean

He has lol. The difference between lettting Samus have those suits and letting her have all the different weapons she’s acquired across the games is that she feasibly could have all those weapons at once. She feasibly could have the Gravity and Varia suits while retains her experience, like how they had Toph have her experience in old age but her abilities in her prime. Same with Rock. The PED and Light suits though? Poof, gone. She can never get them again. She never even got them on her own in the first place, both were forced on her by outside forces and she needs those same outside forces to get them back. It’s a careful balance, you can’t arbitrarily limit Samus to the arsenal she has in one game, but you can’t give her stuff that is clearly non-standard. The Infinity Gauntlet comparison rises again there. And besides, what’s the point in blitzing if nothing in her arsenal outside of super-bombs can even harm Rock?

Sorry for derailing the thread by the way lol.
