Around when Smash Bros. Brawl and Other M got to her, the Zero Suit got high heels, and she spent more time in it (or having sex partially out of it) than in her badass powersuit punching giant monsters in the face.

I feel for ya, Sammy.
She's still canonically 6"2', smash's sizes have never been accurate. I didn't play Other M, but I remember her being pretty tall there (as an adult)

Anthony Higgs towers over her. But then he towers over the entire squad. It's possible he's got basketball playing genes in him and he's over seven feet tall. But that would be giving Sakamoto too much credit.
If there is anyone willing to know what exactly is up with Metoid: Other M, and why Samus seemed a tad weird in that installment, check this guy out. He explains a lot. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxz3JGu0m38

Bringing up shit like the manga as a way to retroactively fill plot holes with no evidence that those were the actual explanations for what happens in Other M is baseless guessing. Even if it were true, it would have been horribly handled to the point where it's unintelligible to most viewers. (And it is the author's job to convey meaning, not the audience's job to infer exactly what the author wanted. As the famous Ebert quote goes, if you have to ask what it symbolizes, it didn't. Yes, there is Death of the Author, but then we can just stick in whatever meaning we want, and that, according to popular acclaim, means it really WAS just misogyny top to bottom, anyway.) Even if was true, there would still be the fact that the narrative fails to deliver any rational storyarc with this plot development. There is no climax, no resolution, no point to that scene being there, OTHER than to cheapen Samus as a character. Samus doesn't even get to overcome her fears (except by inference when she is in other games and not being drained of character by this game) because the boss fight gets stolen from her.

You were listening when he /did/ say that Other M definitely wasn't perfect, right? The game most certainly ain't perfect, but it ain't the memetic mess that people bring it out to be.
