"Before you say she'll dodge it, it can't be dodged." Bullcarp. It's got a long charging time, and a nicely visible laser pointer at the target during charge-up. It can be easily dodged.

You're too focused on the Spartan Laser, Hawk. That thing is an incredibly clumsy weapon for fighting anything that isn't a ship, especially against a fast opponent, due to the charge-up time.

And Spacy isn't likely to get close - Samus is bringing such a superior ranged game, that it's the least likely thing in the world.
