(黒の魔女 シア) Black Witch, Cia! The Warriors' Foe!

[IronFish]

I can see her getting in as a Trophy or sticker, but she is a little to new though...

 

[Burigu]

I find it hilarious that these fools think that Nintendo is "family unfriendly" just because of the inclusion of breasts in Hyrule Warriors. It's been done PLENTY of times in many Nintendo IP's already (Mario, Jam With The Band, Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda, F-Zero, Star Fox, Donkey Kong, ect.).

Can you tell me please the minute where they say Nintendo is family unfriendly? they mention that they wonder if Nintendo will make this game canon, speaking of Shia they in fact say they like the character, that is a good thing seen another female villian and that she has Team Ninja's "influence" in her design, I don't think I miss the mention but maybe.

I didn't hear it either. I only saw them do a close-up on... Team Ninja's influence.

...Is she even a Nintendo character?

I guess.
I doubt Sakurai would add a character from a spin-off game that isn't even out yet, though.

 

[andimidna]

Yea, and just as much as a character from Minish Cap, made by Capcom, which did get Ezlo as a sticker in Brawl

I guess.

Yea, nobody is expecting her. It's just an idea. She may become a popular character, but we'll just have to wait and see.
But if things do work out well for her, it could be a possibility in Smash 2020

Wasn't expecting her thread to pop up. The way the thread progressed was weird.

Shia doesn't quite fit the aesthetic we generally expect from Zelda villains... so I'm not sure whether she will ever appear in a mainstream Zelda title. Only will she have a real shot of getting in any future Smash Bros. A sticker and a trophy are likely, though.

 

[Flaxr XIII]

We'd be lucky to get even a trophy for her honestly. I'm assuming that Hyrule Warriors will be released after the 3DS version of Smash and I doubt she's "Roy" enough to be in the Smash roster before her game is released.
Still she seems to be an interesting character (for Hyrule Warriors). Boobs aside, it's always great to have female villains. Maybe in the next one if she isn't just a one-shot villain but it's vary unlikely since it's a spinoff game...

Why would Nintendo release smash bros on Electronic Arts' console?

 

[Neo Zero]

Her page from the newly launched JP website. Not sure if it says anything interesting, but its there for you all the same.

 

[dezeray112]

Probably would see her in as either a collectable trophy/sticker.

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

Boobs? I'm in! (... This have a strange double meaning)

By the way, it will clearly not happen, but a simple trophy could be neat.

Also:

 

[Kind Dedede]

Really liking her design, (not just because if the boobs), and would love to see her in future games. Hopefully she's not a one off type of character and we see more of her. As for smash, a trophy would be her only chance but that's still really pushing it.

 

[Arcadenik]

She seems suited for a masquerade ball, not Smash.

I'm more along the lines talking about the guys who are responding to this on the original YouTube page (which I should have done from the start) not Andre's crew.

 

[Sarki Soliloquy]

I'm psychic. As soon as I saw her, I thought to myself: "Oh, they're going to support her for Smash as soon as possible." Because boobs muh diversity! Murrr Smash needs more cup size diversity!

Well, it's safe to say that Shia was revealed too soon to Smash 4's planned release timing. She's probably going to be in the same ranks as Ghrahim, Midna, and Vaati after this. If you want to squeeze any smidgen of hope out of this, you could say that Sakurai might have known Tecmo Koei/Team Ninja's plans when deciding the roster before now and that Roy had a similar predicament when he premiered in Melee before his game released. Even then, do you like the sound of a "last minute clone?" Why do you think Roy faces decreased odds of reappearing now?

 

[Igneous42]

...

Nintendo...

Tread lightly...

This could be either REALLY good or REALLY bad...

How much "Nintendo" is there really in this though? It seems to me more like Nintendo is just letting Tecmo Koei use the Zelda license. Supposedly Eiji Aonuma is helping supervise some of it but that's probably just to oversee basic stuff. It's also not Zelda canon from the sounds of it, so worst case scenario it sucks in all aspects and people just forget about it since it doesn't/won't affect anything in the long run. It's not like Other M, where is sucked in every aspects and was supposed to be a canon game of the series/true sequel so we're stuck with it (though personally I hope they retcon it into oblivion but that isn't really on topic of this post). Best case scenario it could be a fun extra game in the land of Hyrule and have a really enjoyable story.

As far as the OP goes though, I gotta say no to Shia. All we've seen is her appearance and very basic details about her. I mean, I'll never say no to boobs like that but to warrant a spot on the Smash Roster I think a character has to be pretty significant to the series, we don't even know how big a role she'll play and it's a non-canon entry from what I understand. So she's not really even at the same level as Ghirahim, Vaati, Skull Kid or Zant because they are all at least Zelda canon. Unless she is so well liked in Hyrule Warriors that Nintendo keeps her around I doubt we'll ever see her in a Smash game, and we definitely won't see her in Smash 4 to any significant degree, if at all.

 

[Sobreviviente]

Good thread @ andimidna .

She is the guardian of the trifforce, she also kinda reminds me rauru with that hair and the mask, so, if this game get somehow relevant in the series i can totally expect her in future releases.

Ganon's clone, btw

I agree; if this game is relevant to the time-line, we might actually see her again. I do find it unlikely, but I would not mind in the slightest. I am really into witchcraft and black magic, so I can't wait to see what they do with her and that would translate really well into Smash.

Is pretty much how the four sword series started, is not really that unlikely :B

Ganondorf with boobs?

Does no one remember Veran?

 

[chronomantic]

She seems suited for a masquerade ball

in the Playboy mansion perhaps.
How would she even fight without one of her mammary glands falling out all over the place. I guess it's indeed magic.

 

[Makaronileo]

This thred... Alredy

 

[GM_3826]

you are forgetting the biggest one: Fire Emblem


Also her design look familiar to anyone?

...

Shia (シア Shia?), the Black Witch

Ivy has a unique fighting style that utilizes both short and long range attacks thanks to her magical sword.

Shia = Ivy = Shivy Valentine

 

[Kenith]

I love how everyone is coming here to call her the new Ghirahim...

Spoiler

Just kidding it actually makes me passive-aggressive.

 

[andimidna]

New pictures have been added!

Spoiler

The first one and especially the last one are ****ing awesome.

Yea, Hyrule Warriors won't be as big as Skyward Sword.
And comparing them by saying they're both only going to be villains in 1 game is inaccurate, both could easily return, we don't know yet.

 

[Kind Dedede]

Long live the Shivy! Sm4sh won't be the same without your t for teen reasons

 

[Erotic&Heretic]

So apparently, Link's will be the lady's man again in Hyrule Warriors. Here is some infos on Shia (and Link).

Spoiler

• Shia, the game’s main antagonist, was in charge of protecting the equilibrium of the Triforce. However, she developed feelings for Link and becomes jealous of his relationship with Princess Zelda.

• Shia ends up becoming overcome by wickedness. With her two minions Valga and Wizro, she throws Hyrule in a state of chaos.

• Link is a soldier-in-training in Hyrule Warriors. Famitsu confirms that the chain mail is his soldier-in-training gear.

 

[andimidna]

Uh oh, Shianetta's Shivy's character is getting even spicier:
Her character page description was translated here: http://www.zeldainformer.com/news/hyrule-warrior-character-profiles-translated#.U36WBi-p2jE
Shia, The Black Witch; An evil witch, who had her good soul chased out of her by dark forces. She has a strong sense of self, clearly states her desires, and a provocative and aggressive personality. She wants to make the whole world hers, but especially she wants to make Link hers.

So apparently, Link's will be the lady's man again in Hyrule Warriors. Here is some infos on Shia (and Link).

Yes! Yes! More info! Gimme!

Interesting. The main plot triggered by lust and unrequited love, a first of the kind for a Zelda game.
Wonder how the eternal Link x Zelda will-they-or-won't-they will play out in all of this.

 

[Kind Dedede]

Just like the love affair in Other M: too kinky to put into words

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Shia x Link will definitely rival Zelda x Link easily within the game's launch.

 

[IronFish]

also looking at the poll, how can she be a clone of Palutena if she isn't in the game? (Palutena I mean)

[collapse=Well of course she's in the game]

[/collapse]
Err... I mean...
It is the most plausible option for Shia to be a last-minute clone of Palutena. And I'm not talking about body-type Falcondorf logic, which would work, but Shia is seen with a staff. So that's probably what her fighting style will be based on in Hyrule Warriors. Magic and staff-stuff. And maybe calling in some of her minions.
Looks like a match to me:

Spoiler

But Zelda is the next most likely option so I'm glad these are the top 2.

Spoiler

And before you ask if Palutena is really in...

Yes.
She is.
End of chapter.

 

[shinhed-echi]

After reading her backstory, not only am I actually interested in a Zelda game for the first time in ages (or since Ages, lol) but I'm actually willing to support her inclusion for SSB4/5.

It's sort of triggered an "oh snap!" feeling in me. I feel it's pretty dang late, though.
