Evidence for that one?Note the video I posted before, the one where Samus launches a hundred feet upwards and can still shoot. Her fighting style is mostly made up of tossing herself through the air and I doubt Kain really target her moving like that anyway. The thrust that let's Samus fly is her jumps. The Space Jump upgrade lets her do unlimited spin jumps.
See, you're going to need to prove that "doesn't touch obstacles" thing first. You'd need to prove that Kain can still call/influence the blood when there is a substantial obstacle in the way. The force field field blocks demonic possession and telepathy; magic is not much of a stretch given that Samus has fought magic wielding foes before.
Can't receive telepathy, as in telepathic signals cannot directly access her mind.

She usually just scans them. You know, because of the force field and suit in the way. Kain can't access her mind because of this, you realize. He can't control her mind if he can't reach it, and even then her willpower and resistance to such things would make her more or less immune to Kain's mind control.
Dark Samus. Phazon. Dark Samus is made of phazon, but there is no dark phazon. Now that that's out of the way, it is not "corruption" in the way you're using the term. It's not slow, and it's not using temptation or offerings or anything like that. It's a radioactive poison, one that Dark Samus can control you with once its in your system. Resisting that kind of assault does, in fact require some good mental fortitude. They're both mind control, and need a strong will to resist. Same thing, slightly different mechanism.
The evidence shown contradicts it or support it depending on context. That scan is something from the first Metroid Prime, with Space Pirates experimenting with it. The difference being back then there was no Dark Samus controlling it, so the victims simply went insane. Yes, phazon can cause brain damage, but it can also disintegrate things on contact and bind ghosts and spirits to the mortal plane. Point being phazon is a context based, plot based material that just does "whatever." In the specific instance of Space Pirates injecting phazon into their blood or eating phazon mushrooms, yes, it caused brain damage and increased muscle mass. In the specific instance of Dark Samus implanting a phazon "seed of corruption," there is no evidence of brain damage in any of the 4 Hunters. In fact, take another look at the videos I linked you earlier: Rundas was being directly puppeted by Dark Samus, Ghor went after Samus' ship to prevent her from escaping, and Gandrayda set a trap disguised as a Galactic Federation Trooper. Do any of them appear to have any brain damage at all? Aside from suddenly obeying Dark Samus, none of them have reduced faculties at all. Except Rundas, but again: puppet.
No physical form, victim dies without it, compared to an "essence." Sounds suitably soul sucky.
So far, Samus kills Kain with a single shot of the plasma beam, has resistance to or immunity to everything he can dish out, and can kill him as a ball. Samus probably will end up dying of old age, though Kain would'nt be so lucky. (These points are still be discussed in other paragraphs, please don't assume you've you won them.)
The whole game is set in Nosgoths distant past and Kain spends the majority of it outside, both in the Sarafan stronghold and in the marshes etc.
Yes because her launching upwards under her own power is teh same as Kain throwing her around...no...so she cant fly? she just jumps?
I dont have to prove any of those things, it never comes up in the spells "cant do" list, if you want to prove Samus' suit can counter magic then go and do so, making up reasons why blood shower wont work randomly without evidence is typical of your argument style. Its enough of a stretch here, forcefields and such work on forces striking them, where no force strikes them other than Samus' blood pouring inside her suit (assuming it cant get to Kain) then it wont help her.
You seem to be just making things up here, youve yet to show me any actual resistance, just things she does such as opening transmissions, shes never actually fought sorcery or mind control from what youve actually shown.
Its a physical substence that damages brain cells and makes you work for it once its taken you, theres no comparison there to actual mental control but more as the source says corruption, your reaching. And resisting that assault just means you can resist phazon itself.
I looked at the videos and I am seeing nothing different to what this source states, brain damage and control from Phazon itself, Dark Samus is simply another entity working for the Phazon because if I am correct, she is also part of the phazon. Its like physical possession, alike to head crabs in half life only with phazon instead.
I wouldnt describe the spirit as "an energy source" tbh, in this case theres little evidence to compare them. Parasites that suck energy of an unkown type is not =/= sorcerous devouring of the spirit specifically.
Also thats just gas, I have countered the plasma beam, you see my counter is proven, TK or teleport to dodge while so far your evidence is the fact it can melt tin.... and the rest is nonsense, your claiming immunity when your just making up theories and not backing them up for pretty much everything. Using your baseless comparisons and your opinions on them as proof. Also kill him as a ball? wut? Kain cant die of old age, hence why her being thrown about with TK for 100 years or so is an easy tactic, youve yet to show her escaping TK like this.
So Kain wins with his most simple technique until you can prove otherwise, claims dont add up to much dear.
