And the beam auto homes in to the target no matter where it is. And it has a lot of other nifty abilities that lets it ignore everything in its path.
Which beam are you talking about? All of samus' beams have different properties.
Edit: Well Marthage, there is the fact that even if he gets a hold of her, what will he do with an indestructible being?
As I said, drop her into a black hole, or just keep her in place until she starve to death, runs out of oxygen, the suit runs out of energy, whatever.
Also, this indestructible stuff...
It's from fusion, but all we see is samus' suit being paired against Samus' weapons. That doesn't mean REAL indestructability, that just means one of two things:
1. He suit is too powerful for her non-upgraded weapons that were present IN THAT GAME.
2. X increased it's durability, rendering it immune.
3. The weakened state of samus suit rendered it unable to penetrate the varia suit.
4. 1 through 3.
The answer is probably 4, this doesn't say a thing about weapons of superior force or different properties, including other types of beam weapons not present in the game.
How precisely does samus take damage in the game if she and the suit are indestructable?
Or more importantly, HOW IS IT SURGICALLY REMOVED? This was storyline, so it can't be passed off as game mechanics.
The suit is not indestructable.
