 monody | And because Samus's suit was custom-modified for her and was never intended to become Warrior-Class, the design got shunted through the suit upgrades, relying on there being a "suit" module to work. | 22:48:10 |
 karmacolorcat | as nonsensical the lack of consitency may be | 22:48:19 |
 genghiskombat | And every time, I can't help but think of Sakamoto in his office snorting a line of whatever unique substance lets the Japanese make as much weird stuff as they do, and then going "okay guys, hear me out..." | 22:48:33 |
 Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | Okay so this is a weird thing but SM technically had the angled pauldrons for the front facing sprite, but just recolored the Varia suit sprites to save space.
Also a lot of the artwork for SM that does have the Power suit shows the classic angled pauldrons too. | 22:48:34 |
| monody | I guess by the time of Other M she'd managed to fix that bug by tinkering with her suit. | 22:48:43 |

| genghiskombat | Okay, so it's even more inconsistent than I thought. | 22:48:53 |
| karmacolorcat | like you can go on a needless mental gym exercising to explain why suits are so different and there's some fun to that | 22:49:01 |
| karmacolorcat | add Other M into the mix and more the fun LMAO | 22:49:12 |

| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | Yeah Other M was the first Metroid that added round pauldrons to the Power Suit. | 22:49:35 |
 Spooky Detective Lucario | (If you don't count the SM sprites) | 22:50:00 |
| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | Already explained that above. | 22:50:09 |
| monody | Don't get me started on my two suits theory… XD | 22:50:29 |
| karmacolorcat | oh god, please do start | 22:50:38 |
| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | * Already explained that above.
That was specifically done as a space saving thing | 22:50:40 |

| genghiskombat | Well the way I see it, the new suit Samus got in ZM is an entirely new model of Power Suit from what she used to have, which explains why it was hidden so discreetly in the temples of Chozodia. How she replaces her old one with the new one is a mountainous can of worms we could argue about all day, but as far as the new suit being a, you know, new suit...I will die on that hill. | 22:51:30 |
| genghiskombat | It's not a patch, an update, or an extra layer. It's a whole damn new operating system. | 22:52:02 |
| genghiskombat | It can resemble what came before, like going from Windows 98 up to Windows XP, but it's new, improved, bigger, longer, and uncut. | 22:52:34 |
| genghiskombat | And its own separate entity. | 22:52:42 |
| karmacolorcat | I do disagree to that | 22:52:52 |
| genghiskombat | Too bad. | 22:52:56 |
| genghiskombat | When I said "I will die on this hill," I meant that I will die on it. | 22:53:28 |
| karmacolorcat | I dont think it's too far fetched to think the chozo statue in chozodia simply reactivated her suit and updated it on top of it | 22:53:29 |
| karmacolorcat | * I dont think it's too far fetched to think the chozo ehh... ghost in chozodia simply reactivated her suit and updated it on top of it | 22:53:42 |
| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | Agree with Karma, makes mores sense for it to be a direct upgrade to the original Power Suit Samus had. | 22:53:45 |
| Co-Chief to the Idiocy Officer | If it was a completely new suit I’m pretty sure that would have been clarified. | 22:54:01 |
| genghiskombat | You can get the entire damn server to disagree with me on this. I don't care. | 22:54:06 |
