In-universe
[edit]The following description is in-universe:
She is 190 cm (6 ft 3 in) and 90 kilograms (200 lb) while wearing the Power Suit.
It is immediately followed by a description that is not in-universe:
The Super Metroid Nintendo's Player's Guide describes Samus as 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) tall and weighs 198 pounds (90 kg) without her Power Suit.
Either both should be in-universe, or, per MOS, neither:
The official Return of Samus website lists, under a diagram of the Power Suit titled "Samus Aran", a height and weight of "身長：190cm 体重：90kg". The Super Metroid Nintendo's Player's Guide describes Samus as 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) tall and weighs 198 pounds (90 kg) without her Power Suit.
Reverting because "other articles" are in-universe too isn't a good reason to keep the in-universe bit. If the sentence is hard to read, it can be rephrased, but not in an in-universe style. EV stuff (talk) 12:00, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- I see the problem a lot more readily now; that whole duo of sentences is very confusing and the typical in-universe won't work here. It's also off because her Zero Suit height seems to be all over the place, according to Time Extension, so I replaced the primary cites with it as a secondary.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 12:30, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
- I restored the primary sources and kept the secondary source. The primary sources are more accurate than the secondary source. EV stuff (talk) 14:23, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
