I know that most people are taking sides, saying Sheik should be in, separate, out, etc. Well, so far it's been pretty difficult to find a happy medium, but I think I've come up with one.
What if Sheik was the result of Zelda's FS, but you could still turn into Zelda with down B and can't turn into Sheik with Zelda's down B? I think that would please a lot of people.
You could still start a battle as Sheik, and she would gets her own FS with no transforming result. However, since she has even less canon moves to use for a down special, she'd retain Transform. Zelda however, would have her own set of specials, chucking transform for something else, and a nice FS and after-effect changing into Sheik. You can change right back though, with Sheik's transform. Also, for those Sheik users who like to use Zelda's recovery, you still can, but you have to learn Zelda too, because you can't keep changing back. That'll make the pair more strategic, meaning if you get knocked too far with Sheik and can only recover with Zelda, then you have to be prepared to use her for a while. Also, you can still switch back and forth strategically, using final smashes and down Bs, so people who enjoy using both still can. Hopefully this time they'd be both full, strong characters and not rely on eachother for abilities, but become more of a super-character when you use them both together and effectively. Separate but equal, together and amazing. Both would be choices, and those who pick favorites won't be fighting with half a character.
I'd honestly prefer a separate Sheik, or a completely removed one, because I think it ruins Zelda to still be carrying a one-time-only persona as a marketing point, but I'd be willing to enjoy this combination.
Edit: Gasp, this thread involves Sheik. Still, it's directed towards Zelda, and with the lack of information, it's far better to contribute to the Zelda board with speculation than have good ideas pushed to the back page with a busy and vague all-character forum, or have it closed because mention of Sheik is considered sacrilege.
