Sheik looks great. I'm surprised Sakurai actually got hold of the Twilight Princess's concept art for Sheik that was never put into the final game! So that's how Sheik would have looked like if she was in Twilight Princess!
Is it just me or does Sheik look more feminine than in Melee? Sheik seems to sport breasts and even got an hourglass figure!
So since Sheik never appeared in Twilight Princess yet still got the style from that game in Brawl, that gives me hope for Ganon the pig demon in Twilight Princess's style for Ganondorf's Final Smash. I rather have the pig demon from A Link to the Past than the pig beast from Twilight Princess!
I'm also hoping for cel-shaded Wind Waker Link to be playable. It seems unfair that we have no representation of the Wind Waker style Zelda games and we already got three characters based off Twilight Princess.

The Final Smash of Zero Suit Samus is... to put back the Power Suit. Hmm.
It's a big update indeed. Everyone's Special moves and Final Smash announced.
With even that out, I wonder what's left for non-hidden characters...

Awesome that Shiek is back, although with no confirmation of Zeldas Down B before this update I had my suspicions. Shiek is good because of her fast speed but I always struggled for a KO with her in melee. Good at racking up damage. Two of my friends always used to start EVERY match with a dash attack at each other. Either with Shiek or Link and they both ended up clashing. I hope to see more of that this time around  |

Wait, Tingle the assist trophy? That would totally kill the 'graphics don't fit' argument once and for all.
And its a minor thing, and off topic, but Kirbychu, regarding your sig, why not put the Pikmin symbol in one of the two spots the smash symbol was in before, rather than adding a new row and having 5 of the same symbol?

Because then where would I put the symbols that're supposed to go in those spots? The icons in my sig are in order, with 13 and 19 missing since we don't have them yet. |

Hooray! My best character IS back! ;D This makes me a very happy panda. Hopefully that means I can leap in to wifi battles, even if the PAL release is much later than the US release.
The new design is pretty nifty too... and nice to see she hasn't lost any of her ridiculous stretchy limb animations!
Time to check out those special moves! ;D

Ha I totally didn't pick that up. Well in that case, carry on. |

HOPE FOR BALANCE this time. I urge everyone to prey for balance between Zelda/Sheik! Let's face it... the system of switching between them in melee did not work as the developers intended. Sheik outclassed Zelda in every way, so let's hope there is more of a reason to switch now. Hopefully, melee taught the developers how they can make this system work. Make Sheik worse... make Zelda better. Sheik didn't over power Zelda. Zelda is much better at 4vs then Sheik is. Sheik's finishing moves are more technical and harder to pull of with many people. Zelda on the other hand can just be like "LOL FORWARD AIR" and give a lot of people. So it's situational. Sadly, the original intent is hard to hit. You can always find a way to kill with Sheik, and can damage your foes with Zelda. Not necessarily. Tingle is an assist, where all the playable Zelda characters have the TP design, even Sheik, who wasn't in TP. Sheik kind of messes it up. Also, WW Link is a trophy now, so his chances are kind of shot. |

I remember they showed Luigi as a trophy in Melee before the game came out and he ended up playable after all.
And besides isn't this WW Link trophy just Link in his lobster shirt? Shouldn't WW Link be wearing the classic green tunic and hat?

Actually, can anyone confirm what that trophy's name is (and maybe its text too)? It might give us a clue as to whether or not he could be playable (I'd imagine calling it, say, Young Link the Character who is now an Unplayable Non-Assist Trophy would probably confirm something)

Sheik looks incredible. I'm amazing this was scrapped from TP if it was actually part of the development process. In one of the screens Sheik actually appears to have breasts. It's not in any others which makes me think it's a glitch but the screens tend not to show those sorts of things. But in any case, Sakurai refers to Sheik as a girl so NYEAH! I was right all along ^_^ 
Seriously, it's like Sakurai is reading my mind; Monday night I remember thinking that the game wouldn't get delayed again this close to release (it was), and last night I was thinking that we haven't seen a veteran character since Ice Climbers back in September, and then we get Sheik today. What the balls? Maybe if I try focusing really hard on Captain Falcon tonight, we'll get him tomorrow...
Oh well. The new design is awesome! I love the spike-whip ponytail she has going and the dagger mounted on the small of her back is a nice touch. |
