  • Your story is very inspiring that it is. It is wonderful to see people achieve their goals, both for life as well as for the cosplays they aspire to do. I too aspire to be a cosplay maker. I have done a few in the past. However, I want to get good enough to actually start a costume and prop making business with a few of my friends. There needs to be more stories like this on the web ^^

  • there is this thing called papakura and u can make the powersuit out of paper with this thing all u have to do is find the files on the internet for the power suit if u cant find any ill be happy to make the files and send them free of charge for u. PS i have made half of my iron man suit with this program and once the paper is done u can fiber glass it and it will be incredibly strong.

  • I wish I was a chick so I could cosplay as Samus Aran :P

  • u look very cute :3 ^^

  • 0:24 Im totally shocked that was you, and not even that you were a Goth, but more that you are completely unrecognizable, that is total amazing transformation! Samus is a great inspiration for young women in general, and not just in how she looks, but more that Inside she is a very strong woman, she is her Own woman. I hope above all else this is the main Inspiration you have drawn from this character, to be your own person. Very Inspiring Real story and I hope to see your power suit one day :))

  • You're pretty cute

  • no ass? no fame... that's just the way it goes

  • tell me where did you get that figure!

  • Very inspiring story. I've recently made a vow to work out more and get healthy again I just lack the motivation.

  • @zadra Sorry About Your Mom That's So Sad 😢 But Awesome On The Suit.

  • Awesome story, and to your ex boyfriends and dudes that passed you up. I think of this song.

    Cause and Effect: You think you know her.

  • You are very pretty. I never would of guessed that, that was you 5 years ago. Congratulation ^_^

  • I saw an Xbox 360 in the background wht ur gamer tag

  • @HardcoreXboxFan Enought with the Other M hate already, Samus Aran was physically as tough as ever in Metroid Other M and just as smart as ever in Metroid Other M, and if she was truly a crybaby b#%th then why was it just Ridley she fell into shock over why didn't she fall into shock over the other enemy's and bosses in Metroid Other M, face it the reason she froze up infront of Ridley was far more personal then because of how physically powerfull Ridley.

  • Hey Zadra! It's Kagato from Brawl Domain. Good seeing ya!

  • I lost my mother to cancer in 2010, so I understand what you went through. I'm glad you found something to focus on and pulled yourself up and out of the dark. Never let it win and always remember there are people who care for you and will help you should you feel yourself becoming overwhelmed.

  • More girls need to play video games and be inspired like you, well to be honest some guys should be too! Hahaha.

  • awesome costume awesome story :D great job and congrats :D

  • Very nice story.

  • wow you have inspired me to do the same but with a green lantern costume i'm 280 lbs i'm 6ft 1"

  • This weight loss is amazing. I wish I was as disciplined as you. You got my most sincere respect. Keep it up!

  • dude get a varia suit next time samus is hot

  • you are one baddass chick, my role models Isaac Clark

  • Please tone the music down next time. I can barely hear you!!!

  • @commiekittiessaymao

    Most of the other viewers didn't have a problem. I was trying to mask the dead air whistle from the raw video.

  • @zadra Can you please show us how you put it on? wink wink :D

  • let me guess, all the guys who ignored you, would not give you the time of day or told you "lets just be friends." Then after your transformation they suddenly started wanting to be more then friends and the began staring at you and tried flirting with you.

  • @capnhands

    Yup. Including ex boyfriends.

  • @zadra bet their kicking themselves in the ass now.

  • @zadra Now, when guys say they want to be friends with you, are you aware that they are just using "friendship" as a guise in order to fuck you one day, or are you in complete denial about this like most women are?

  • Comment removed

  • YOUR A BOSSANOVA!!!!!!

  • congratulations. 

  • Man your so fucking cute top 10 blond girls in the last year

  • Well we know who to go to, to play a Samus in a moive ( If they ever did make a Metroid Movie.

  • thumbs up if you think she's hot!

  • Congrats on caring enough about yourself to take positive steps to improve your health. That much weight loss is no laughing matter.

  • Very great story and also amazing costume.

  • thats super cooooool!!!!

  • You are an inspiration to all of us.

    That's quite a suit.

  • Its been awhile since my jaw hit the ground O.O

  • now, if there where only more girls like you :/

  • i love that videogame and i have metroid other M and samus is my IDOL XD I LOVE SAMUS ARAN

  • :)

  • :sweetjesus:

  • You sound different on camera.

  • well since it seems like no one asked yet...(or i just cant find it) ill ask for everyone, whats the first song playing?

  • @nqflip

    The very very first one in the title screen? That was a track by Metroid Metal

  • Bad. Ass.

    Totally inspiring.

  • Awesome. To me, Sonic the Hedgehog has always been an inspiration, like Samus is to you.

    And you should definitely build a power suit. I once built a Boba Fett costume a long time ago, mostly out of plexiglass. It was tough, but worth it in the end!!

  • Role Model? Don't tell me you wear this suit in public.. Loos awesome by the way. And I feel so sorry for you, that you mom passed away. I kinda know what it feels to lose a beloved relative. In April 2010 my cousin died of cancer at the age of 33. He was kind of the only one I could really relate to in my whole family. Was a great loss for me too. Have you made this suit on your own?

  • You look absolutely stunning as Samus! btw Zero Mission is my favorite game in the series, and I'm really sorry for your loss.

  • You go, Glen Coco! <3

  • sweet room lets get married

  • I thought you were featured in Nintendo Power years ago? Because I recall reading your exact same story in an issue from 2005 - 2007?

  • While the costume was simply amazing, it was the story that really made me love this video. I am very sorry about your mom, but this video shows that if you really want something, anything in the world, you can do it if you try. Cheesy, yes, but still true. Also, Samus is the single best video game female ever made. And I felt that before I saw your vids. ^^

  • Awesome story MIchelle keep up the work.Metroid is one of my favorite all time game back in the 8-bit Nintendo growing up(Legend of Zelda being the first) .I have to pause your video still cant believed that was you back in your teens.I just wanna say great job and hopefully your story should inspire alot of people.good luck in the future "GamerGirl".

  • Awesome story Michelle and keep up the good work.Metroid is one of my favorite games back in the 8 bit nintendo(Legend of Zelda being the first) when growing up.I actually have to pause your video being i cant believed that was you back in your teens.You have change alot and more power to you and everything you do :).

  • at the computer is that tails?

  • OMG!and even the voice is so like Samus!XD

  • WHOLY FUCK YOU ARE THE MOST AMAZING PERSON IN THE WHOLE WORLD! i am so inspired by not only your amazing story, but your passion of samus and the amazing metroid games! you are honestly the coolest person in the world!

  • quite attractive ;)

  • cool it suits you and nice hair :)

  • wow great job getting rid of all that fat.

  • you've done and awesome job with the costume and your sexy too so thats even better

  • Congrats you look awesome

  • This is a very well driven costume. But I am trying to keep it simple very well don Zadra very unique!

  • Wow, this is actually very inspirational. Even though she is a fictional video game character, samus is a good role model to look up to. The costume looks A-MAZE-ING!!! :D

  • I remember this story from an another video I've seen...I'm not sure if you made the one I'm thinking of though...

    So much in life was going on since then, so it feels like a long time ago when I saw it lol.

    ...and to be honest, I love your story. :)

    It actually taught me something too...

    The back of the Zero Suit is soooo sparkly....lol. *.*

  • I was fat during my first 2 years in high school then lost 60 lbs cause I joined the DEP (delayed entry program) for the Marines.

  • Inpsired choice of role model, excellent design skills, and your plush metroid is absurdly adorable ...

  • wow ur so hot!

  • hey that picture of you in 2005 at 1:22 that's dekalb avenue!

  • You are awesome! That was a very inspiring story. Keep it up.

  • This suit was made really well!

    I'm thinking of buying a spandex suit for my girlfriend to allow her to cosplay as zero suit Samus, so I was wondering what sites have the best spandex suits, or what the site you used.

    Thank you!

  • awwww i want that metroid plush doll

  • you are sexy as hell now! good job! i wish more chicks would follow in your footsteps.

  • Congrats on your transformation. I myself am a hardcore gamer (as u can see on most my videos with nintendo stuff in my gym) who has lost my dad to diabetes.

    Very inspiring. keep up the great work. Hope to meet u one day at a streetpassnyc event!

  • You are super gorgeous and Im sure your boyfriend has to keep a good eye on you haha

  • those eyes are beutifull trully 

  • wow that was you in that 0'5 pic damn thats a big transformation congrats and awesome zero suit

  • That's quite a transformation you went through. Maybe anything is possible.

  • YOU.....ARE.....SAMUS!!!!!

  • 2:46-2:50 The guy in the red sitting in the front row. I know him, lol.

  • Hope you are able to make the Power suit :)

  • the back part of the suit reminds of rupies from the legend of zelda

  • What a great story! Have you thought about using rubber instead for your zero suit? It looks better IMO but is less comfortable to wear. Check Ebay, seller name super-qiqi, a great zero suit goes for $200 or so :o

  • @zadra

    Oh wow ouch xD I just read your comment war with dean thingy... "are you like 15" I was just sitting here like... Im 15... Im not like that... Anywho, that's a cool suit, samus is awesome! :D Lol you can see by your walls that you like video games :)

  • so friggin awesome.

  • But no seriously, this was a fantastic story thanks for sharing it with us

  • Has anyone proposed to you via youtube comment before?

  • Samus is a very inspirational character for e.g. on a youtube video (i think it was a soundtrack to zero mission 5 people said samus inspired them just like you thank god nintendo made the metroid series.

  • how did you make the shoes? I want to do a Samus cosplay so bad, and i got some stuff down, except the shoeeees!!!

  • Just like samus...independent and I like it. We need for tough girls

  • A great example of how videogames can be much more than just a waste of time as some haters claim. Inspiring story and <3 Samus. I would say she's the female master chief.

  • @S461371

    Samus is superior to Master chief, not equal ;)

  • @zadra Yeah, let's see Master Chief curl up to the size of a basketball.

    Oh, what's that? He can't? Didn't think so. XD

  • @ilikethecoke Forget about Morph ball tech. Master crap has to run around and find his weapons - Samus has them built in to her suit. She was also infused with advanced alien DNA, and given a suit and trained by them as well. Beats him by a million ;)

  • @zadra OMGalaxy...that's almost exactly what I say to people too! LOL!

  • @zadra She's half alien?!

  • @zadra What would you say if I'm to say that Solid Snake or Naked Snake (Big Boss) from the Metal Gear series beats Samus hands down? ;) btw you're really cute, especially in that outfit looking like Samus :)

  • @zadra let's not forget that most of master chief's job was to protect an ai in his helmet... i guess that made him kinda expendable where as samus in every game is both the heroin and asset to the story not just a puppet of the military in a war XD

  • @S461371 Master cheif and samus hook up and have metro-masta babies. In my fantasy world. Lol

  • @biestigcreature Sounds like an interesting fanfic to me, lol

  • @S461371 lol samus would whoop master chief's ass

  • @WalkingWithStrang3rs I wasn't debating that. I meant they're equally iconic heroes to their own platforms. For the record i do think Samus would win in a fight, she obviously has more advanced tech. But i'll leave you to the fanboyism, because it's stupid to like more than one thing, right? ;)

  • @S461371 i wasnt trying to insult you, it was only a light joke, not directed towards anyone :3

    i know that samus and master chief are often compared to one another, too.

  • nevermind you were a fatty

  • @modshroom fuck urself.

  • @S461371 Fuck yes Samus Aran + John Forge = I dont know umm... Super Galactic Fedral Space Comand Superior Defense Force? but ummm well actually John (master chief 117) is actually in his 40's so

  • awesome job with what you've done. i used to be overweight as well, it is very liberating to get rid of it. to all the guys downplaying her breast size...SHOW SOME FRIGGIN RESPECT! she is a lady, not a porn mag. i bet their wangs are teeny. you are beautiful, great costume all the best.

    btw the stemage sounds very influenced by In Flames(took me until now to notice). you should check out my rock reversions of metroid tracks

  • Also, I love your room!

  • I loved this! You're an inspiration to gamers everywhere. A lot of guys and girls could learn something from you.

  • you've really come along way, you must be real proud to accomplish something this great! :)

  • you are beautiful

  • props!

    

  • This is cool. My only criticism is that the music is way too high! Can't hear your inspirational story.

  • @CantStoptheRobot

    Aw. Sorry. Yeah, I tried to make the music as low as possible. The video itself has a nasty hissing in it that I tried to drown out, while still having my voice audible. You kind of have to turn it up a bit.

  • Comment removed

  • wow you look great now, i love your character i am going to check out your videos, thanks for posting your seem like a really cool girl

  • Pfff,

    I made you into Zadroid in my animation class. It was a little yiffy but it was my idea first.

    I hereby claim half of your assets.

    You'll be hearing from my imaginary lawyer.

  • @monk3yv

    Hah!

  • You actually really look like samus =)...also I really want that teddy metroid in the background! :L

  • O.O that was awsome! ^.^ i would luv the armor suit, hopefully better than @marinmaker's!

  • Do u like blazblue too? For me it's actully hard to find a blazblue fan

  • U are AWESOME and u have a wonderful life that I wish I will have and again u are completely cute too :)

  • Now do the varia suit

  • That's an amazing story. I'm a pretty damn big fan of basically all the Nintendo games. Zelda, Metroid, Mario, etc. Metroid has always been awesome with the unique and exciting story of the lone wolf samus. She can pretty much kick any guy's ass, great choice of role model. I check out a lot of cosplay cuz it's cool seeing how much people love the characters. You have done an amazing job with the costume, I would LOVE it if you'd manage to make the powersuit :) best of luck!

  • Really inspirational story, you should be proud of losing all that weight and becoming a better you.

  • Comment removed

  • Cool costume. Can't wait for the power suit.

  • :)

  • What is your FAVORITE Metroid game? Mine is Prime.

  • My god ITS SAMUS!!! :O

  • Wow what a beautiful story...

    Congratulations on the life transformation, not many people can make it.

    Hugs from Brazil!

  • you hare of super smash bros 2011 xD

  • I loved ur story

  • thats a great cosplay, but more importantly that is a incredible feat you accomplished, ive never seen someone use a video game character as a role model like that, and with samus having such a amazing figure i dont think you could have chosen a harder body type. But you pull it off nicely.

    I too am a cosplayer, check out my channel

  • Leave it to an Xbox fanboy to shove their beliefs down your throat. Anyway great job on the suit, and congrats on the weight loss!

  • get big breasts and a nice ass

    do it for daddy.

  • @HaIo5

    Get a life and stop bandwagon trolling youtube.

    Do it for your own self worth.

  • @zadra He (maybe she?) is just jealous ;)

    don't worry you're looks sweet and beauty.

    oh, i see a xbox *_* the console for "real gamers". you're get my full respect ^^

  • @MrDean1424

    How is the xbox a console for "real gamers"? I disagree, that is a bit of an ignorant statement. a "console" does not determine a "real" gamer, that is an elitist standpoint.

  • @zadra

    -.- bla bla.. it was just a compliment

    it's not ignorant, it is the reality

    sorry little girl I forgot it, you're a Metroid Prime fan, so your "real gamer" console is the super duper Wii :P

  • @MrDean1424

    I don't own a "real gamer" console, and I have no idea what such a definition is. A real gamer is a person that plays video games. The consoles owned by the person have nothing to do with that. What don't you understand about that? Are you like a 15 year old? Just because you complimented me doesn't mean I have to smile and agree with everything you have said. I didn't particularly like the comment you made about the xbox. I thought it was juvenile and biased.

  • @zadra

    nonetheless, your video is good

    and I prefer no discussion about "how play a real gamer" or "which console is for a real gamer" and so on.

    namely, it does not interest me

  • @MrDean1424

    Ok. I thank you for that. I would rather not get into that discussion either.

    However if you really werent interested in such a topic, you would have never called the xbox a console for "real gamers". You are automatically making yourself look like an xbox fanboy, and someone that is only going to start arguments with sony and nintendo fans.

    There are plenty of other consoles out there that define gaming as a hobby (ie: SNES, dreamcast, PS2, GBA, etc.)

  • @zadra Arh, opinions... aren't they awesome!? Basically it wouldn't be his fault when such a discussion would get started. Instead it would be the fail interpretation of other people who aren't able to accept other opinions. But do you have to accept other opinions!? - No. And what's wrong with the fact that he likes the 360?- Nothing, because that's life. People just have different preferences. Btw: A nice suite you have there little miss sunshine ;)

  • @LuckyAirstrike

    It was NOT stated as an opinion, if you read his original comment again.

  • @zadra

    rejected.

    sorry, but you can't understand me. I forgive you.

    it doesn't matter if I'm an xbox fanboy or not and that you're an owner of a Wii is no allusion by me.

    from the beginning: it was a compliment by ME yeah by MEEE did it?

    namely, it doesn't interest me which console is the best for gaming and so on .. and so on.

    and in my first post I mentioned the xbox, because I've seen the console in your video.

    and why I did it? Yes you got it: I have an Xbox too

  • @MrDean1424

    Sorry, I don't understand immaturity. Thanks again for your compliments, but if you keep dumping this elitist gamer garbage on my video, I'm just going to block you. I don't have time for children with half thought out standpoints.

  • @zadra keep cool my little sunshine ;) let me quote my sentence: "nonetheless, your video is good and I prefer no discussion about "how play a real gamer" or "which console is for a real gamer" and so on. namely, it does not interest me" and now your answer: "Ok. I thank you for that. I would rather not get into that discussion either." where is the mistake? you're always talking about "real gamer consoles" but why? you have finished the discussion about that theme. ok ? 100 :-* for u
  • @MrDean1424

    I'm always talking about real gamer consoles? What the hell are you talking about? Again, there's no such thing, you dolt. All I said was that a console does not define a gamer .Get over it already and shut up.

  • @zadra

    keep cool beauty :)

    it was all said. it's okay.

    you have said that a console doesn't define a gamer.

    I'm not criticizing your statement :)

    when I got the suit, where can I find such a pretty girl like you, which can carry the suit?  :-)

    100 kisses for u

  • Comment removed

  • great video Michelle. Touching story. Good for you for turning your life around for the better! ^_^

  • Cool! and i also thought you looked hot with the weight ;)

  • i love you. no homo.

  • i was a girl with overweight too 9_9 and i also wanna make a zero suit samus cosplay!!!

    how inspiring!!!

  • FYI you can get the justin bailey outfit with out the code you just have to beat the enitre game within a certain amount of time.

  • @Visc0us1488 FYI I know that.

    I don't expect too many people have been capable of doing that. You have to beat it VERY quickly. I believe within 2 hours.

  • @zadra Oh ok thought you said the only way you can get the suit is with the code. But if you know then all the better. And beating it in 2 hours wasnt as hard as you'd think. Just gotta not get every single bloody tthing. And go put the smack down on ripley and the other fella. Then mother brain and wham bam thank you ma am. Code free suit.

  • I've seen some people with power suits, and I always wonder how in the heck they're able to hold those shoulders up. Great story and costume.

  • I really enjoyed this video thanks for sharing!

  • That's awesome!  Great job on the suit. It looks great!

  • I Wonder if you cross your arms, that the Varia Suit will appear(Other M) XD? And Congrats for the Weight Loss and getting over the Tragedy. We all have a role model we follow, and you picked the best.

  • Wow. Unbelievable result (1:25) O_O
