samus is better equipped than most to speedrun the island, but it would require a couple uncertain points to break in her favor, it's probably taxing in a cutscene environment to do that even if she can do it forever in game, and the payoff is trying to 1v4 an unusually prepared and motivated enemy team (i think the fear helps more than hurts in a battle against samus alone, the way it's worded)
