Ugly1HomoErectus12021-04-02Version 1.1.0

I have found the new sprites to be ugly and out of place. The quality is considerably less than that of the original sprites, and this difference between the new Samus and old enemies and backgrounds is evident.

Fantastic model replacement 10 out of 10OrangeLuigi2021-01-15Version 1.0.4

After patching a few rom hacks patched I noticed samus combat armor is just a tiny bit taller than regular samus. which makes it impossible to explore other hacks. over all a good one tho.

Simple Cosmetic Change But Makes It Feel DifferentMorinis2021-01-14Version 1.0.4

It may be simple but really makes things feel different! The only 2 downsides I have with this version is the opening sprites are not changed as it shows Samus still in her normal power suit garb instead of being changed over to that of the Combat Armor and her stance when spawning/saving is her head looks over to the side with these odd big blue eyes. The author should take a note from the Justin Bailey hack on how to approach head on sprite editing as that one has no eyes. This one feels a tad off with the eyes.

Other than that, I recommend this!
