What good is Samus' Ice Beam for one who can teleport? Even a wide-range one wouldn't do much good if Kain teleported behind her. Perhaps the Soul Reaver couldn't take her down in one strike, but an unblocked blow would probably do some nice damage.
Samus' X-Ray, Thermographic, Dark and Echo Visors allow her to track invisible and teleporting enemies. No dice.

"Unblocked blow"? No such thing. Her shields are up as long as she's wearing her suit.

She can't hit him there, because her weapons' shockwave from whatever she did will take her down with Kain.
Wrong, boyo. Samus' own weapons don't deal her any damage. She doesn't have to worry about splash damage, so distance isn't an issue.

Kain's in danger no matter where he is. The Ice Beam is more dangerous at close range, and the Light Beam is most dangerous at medium range.

For long range, Samus has the Annihilator Beam, which is sonic-based, which Kain is also weak against due to his Vampiric nature. If Samus wanted to end the battle as quickly as possible, she could just unload a Sonic Boom attack, which would completely immobilize him from the start, leaving him open to an Ice Spreader. He'd be done literally in seconds.
