They went back to her normal look for 2 and 3.

Gamefaqs keeps saying the image is invalid for some reason.

I feel Ike GameFAQs says like 4 outta every 5 images I try using are invalid.

Whenever it happens, I just take a screenshot of the pic, crop it, and use that.

I dunno if "normal look" is the right phrasing because Zero Mission hadn't come out yet when Metroid Prime 1 came out and a lot of the later Samus's really take a lot from the Zero Mission depiction I think. Except the Other M depiction which also might as well be an altogether different character.

They didn't have a "normal" look at the time.

True. Shes also really short in Other M when shes supposed to be 6,3 without the suit.

I never liked the power suit in the prime games. Always thought the proportions looked ridiculous.

It shouldn't happen that often, but what I believe happens is that Gamefaqs will assign a string of characters to the image, but every so often it assigns ones that don't work or contain an offensive word (happened to me).

The reason a re-upload doesn't work is because gamefaqs saves on data by checking any new image against the existing images to make sure it's not a duplicate, and if it is a duplicate assigns it the same string of characters.

So yeah, cropping and re-uploading (or really anything that would change the byte data) should fix the problem.

Prime 1 had a realistic look, but they went with a cartoon look after that. I liked the realistic look more.

I like the Prime look the best. The others are too cartoony

Honestly, I think Prime 1 and Prime 2 Varia Suits are my favorite designs

Prime 3 has the best Samus face, but I do like Prime 1's too

Prime was going for as "realistic" as Gamecube could reasonably do, thus the off-model look.
