SPOILERS WARNING!!!!

 

When you see Ridley...

NOT.

 

be a damsel in distress. Come on. Samus kicked his ass in Metroid, Prime 1, 3, and Super Metroid. And chickens out in other M?

I thought this argument was already put to rest but anyways.  Samus's reaction in Other M only makes sense.  It's the realistic reaction, and since they wanted to give her character a realistic portrayal, that's what she did.  You already mentioned she fought him in Prime1, 3, and Super Metroid.  This would be her fourth time killing the same monster, for a one dimensional video game character you give the character no reaction and just jump into the fight.  But for a realistic personality you have to take in her past fights and how that has weighed on her psyche, the Manga's previously released all showed that she had the syptoms of general anxiety disorder, and after fighting for years and has developed PTSD (like most soldiers who have seen too much combat do) which causes you to freeze up in high stress moments.
