Its depiction in the prologue of Metroid Dread shows that it has hair like Samus , suggesting it may have had an unseen human form under its armor. From its escape, the SA-X roamed the station, occasionally crossing paths with Samus and attacking her on sight.
As it had the use of the Ice Beam , Samus originally stood no chance against it due to the Metroid vaccine leaving her with the Metroids ' only weakness: an extreme vulnerability to cold.
As Samus descended in the Main Elevator , the SA-X blew up a wall of the elevator room, walked into the room, and paused for a few moments; it is here that a close-up of its face could be seen. The SA-X then jumped over the elevator shaft, destroyed the room's hatch with a Super Missile , and left the room through the destroyed hatchway.
When Samus reaches Sector 1, the computer informs her that an "unknown agent" had severely damaged the Main Elevator and disabled it for the time being. Upon Samus's arrival in Sector 2 TRO , the computer briefed her about the SA-X, informing her that it disabled the Main Elevator, told her about its abilities and to avoid it at all costs. The second encounter occurred shortly afterward, which was after Samus downloaded the Bomb data. As soon as Samus left the Data Room , an explosion shook the surrounding area, immediately after which the SA-X's footsteps could be heard fading away into the distance.
When Samus dropped down to the lower part of the room, she discovered that the hatch she had come through had been badly damaged and rendered totally inoperable. Artwork of Samus and the SA-X.
Samus's first physical encounter with the SA-X also occurred in Sector 2, shortly after the defeat of Zazabi. Attempting to return to the Navigation Room , Samus discovered another damaged and completely impassable hatchway. Using her Bombs, she was able to open a hole in the floor nearby and dropped into a room with two sections. The SA-X was in the bottom section, but it soon left the room. The SA-X entered the room almost immediately afterward, forcing Samus to hide in a passageway under the floor; after walking to the wall, it then used a Power Bomb of its own to destroy both the wall and a significant portion of the floor.
It then jumped down the next area and exited the room. While using Power Bombs to get around blockages created by the X, Samus entered a portion of the sector she had not previously explored.
Almost immediately afterward, the SA-X suddenly entered the room right behind her. To escape, Samus had to jump over a pillar and use Bombs or a Power Bomb to find a secret passage in the wall behind it. Unfortunately, if Samus set off a Power Bomb, the explosion would destroy the pillar behind her, revealing her position to the SA-X and alerting it to her presence; it would then run over to the wall and fire Beam shots until Samus left the room.
The SA-X can also be alerted when a charged shot is fired in its vicinity. While traveling towards the source of the vegetation choking the Central Reactor Core , Samus dropped into a large chamber only to discover that the SA-X was there waiting for her. As she still lacked a way to damage it, Samus was left with no choice but to run from the SA-X until she could reach a safe hiding place, though she could slow it down by hitting it with Ice Missiles , which would freeze it for the time being.
When Samus's navigation computer requested that she destroy the Security Robot B. But before destroying B. After defeating the robot, with her newly regained Wave Beam , Samus entered the Lab and discovered the Galactic Federation 's secret Metroid breeding project.
Following the sound of explosions rocking the lab, she found the SA-X attacking the lab, though it was quickly overpowered and overwhelmed by the Infant Metroids its attack released. However, the SA-X's assault had activated the emergency fail-safes, meaning it would detach and self-destruct. Moments after Samus escaped, the Restricted Area was jettisoned from the research station and exploded.
Samus believed that the X mimic was gone for good. However, her feelings of victory were short-lived. After the incident, Samus's navigation computer told her that there were no fewer than ten SA-X aboard the station because the X reproduce asexually.
Once the computer was revealed to have Commander Adam Malkovich 's personality, he ordered Samus to go to the Operations Room and adjust the station's orbit path to intercept SR , effectively wiping out the X Parasites for good. By this time, Samus had recovered almost all of her lost abilities; even without the Federation's help, she had recovered the Gravity Suit and Plasma Beam, giving her enough defense and power to almost match the SA-X.
In response, it mutated into a huge, misshapen monster in a desperate effort to crush Samus, yet she emerged victorious. You encounter SA-X a few more times after this in Metroid Fusion , and this is when I started to wonder if I might have to fight her earlier than the end of the game. You find the aftermath of her explosive power in one hall. She marches down a hallway just below you at one point, her footsteps leading before she steps from the shadows.
This time, she comes with this eerie music track that chills the blood. What would happen if you dropped down right now? Or right now, if you want to push your luck. The next time you run into SA-X, she comes marching out a door just overhead.
An ice blast followed by a missile or beam will just tear you to shreds, as will her lethal spin jump Screw Attack. And a realization that she can mess up your day fast. Nothing in Metroid Fusion can move like her. Again, she just demolishes you if she catches you, and the game has put plenty of things in the way to slow you down and make sure she does.
This is a few hours into playing the game, and all of the previous encounters had just seemed like narrative beats. Then, suddenly, you start blundering into her. Samus encounters it in this Sector briefly, where it displays its Ice Beam to open a simple Blue Door. Samus then encounters it while she is in a vent as a Morph Ball. This incredible display signifies that the X seems to gain the cognitive ability of the creatures' whose DNA it absorbs, if it didn't already have it.
Samus then encounters it in Sector 5 ARC , where she has now gained many of her abilities to protect herself against the powerful foe with, but not yet the ability to defeat it. The SA-X chases Samus until it loses sight of her. Its destruction triggers the ignition of fires, creating a hazard reaction to detach the restricted area from the rest of the ship for self-destruction. Without the option of fleeing, Samus fights the creature armed with the Wave Beam.
Even with these weapons, Samus at first only manages to damage the SA-X to the point where it transforms to a grotesque, mutated form. Once this creature is injured, the SA-X reverts to a blue Core-X, but escapes before Samus can break its protective shell. By absorbing the SA-X, Samus regained her abilities and upgrades at her peak strength, including her original Varia Suit and the Ice Beam, which she uses to defeat the powerful Omega Metroid.

The objective throughout the game whenever you encounter an SA-X is to just run and escape. Your arsenal of weaponry is useless aside from ice missiles, which only temporarily freezes the SA-X for a couple or so seconds.
You won't get those until a bit of ways into the game, so your best bet is to just run. User Info: DeadSkullzJr. Which sector 2 encounter specifically? Because if its the one with the plants taking over over the station, the other answers will work.
