EDIT 5: Keep this thread open! Sheik does NOT count as a Zelda update, though it is her down B according to the profile shes an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CHARACTER (lol just noticed while writing this, the ppl making brawl realized zelda and shiek are different ppl, since they themselves said different character). Funny how they revealed all of Sheik's bmoves at once yet still no word on Zelda's moves?
GODD#@%IT my hopes that her transformation would be something like Zelda in a cloak or ANYTHING more canon but no- its just sheik pretending to be part of TP zelda. Seriously I understand ur reluctance to change old movesets for this game, but next one, REALIZE SHEIK IS NOT AN IMPORTANT CHARACTER THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE TO TAG HER ALONG ZELDA.
EDIT4: I can't wait until this thread closes (due to the update not other reasons
). I think next week will be our week if Sakurai plans to release Zelda details before the freakin release date, since Olimar stole this week. In the old estimates this was the worse of all possible scenarios (other than her not getting an update at all till after release), but I'm pretty sure we'll get it before release, if not i'll be (and most people in the Zelda room) infuriated with Sakurai for ignoring a character for almost 7 months.
Though I'm afraid the next 3rd party character will steal the wind out of next weeks update. Then the only possible way for her to be in before the release is that monday, but by that time, those 2 days won't make a difference (if, that is theres no "leak" of the game, like there was 2 weeks before release of Galaxy, and if there's no reliable "pundit" that leaks the status of Zelda in Brawl. So far some of the pundits say sheik is a seperate character (the ones with the more hopeful rosters)! I expect sheik to be attatched but will be thrilled if shes not pulling back zelda.

EDIT3: okay this makes 13/23 characters with DOUBLE updates, 3 of them vets (which are rarer since they only do those if something significant changed) and we STILL dont have ONE Zelda update. Im changing my predictions since the there was no "Dec3 era" where we were supposed to be given a whole bunch of info on why the game was delayed and updates to boot. Instead it was just a normal 2 weeks.
I'm beginning to question whether or not the updates were simply due to marketing or not, because we arn't seeing any info of the stuff they're developing currently. If they truly were working really hard on the game after the delay, the updates woudn't have slowed down.
I'm moving her estimated update time later, to around Januarish or Christmas time. They WILL update her since its not like Sheik is an unlockable character if Zelda is a starter (or mabye she is if Zelda is a seperate character...). That could be one explanation for the delay, to the fact Sheik is an unlockable so they don't show Zelda's specials because it will make people think Sheik was cut.
Spacing out the updates could be a reason as well, but I doubt it since all the other characters got updates too in this update void era. It could just be building anticipation as they are trying to leave us wondering whether or not some vetrans, like CFalcon, Jigglypuff, and Sheik are returning or not, and then make us feel so relieved when they do.
Through my cynicism, i still hope they update her next week, or heck tommorow

EDIT2: ROFL there ya go ice climbers' FS revealed, making Zelda the only character with NOTHING on her profile page other than the standard 4 pics (she was one of the older veterans revealed too, I think its been around 5 months since she was revealed)
sakurai either has something insane planned for us, is creating anticipation, hates zelda, or just simply is spacing out the updates....

Cmon its getting ridiculous now- lets all make estimates. I was thinking anyday now until E4all came up, and correctly guessed that a lot of the updates would be about things already unvieled at E4ALL for a while (peach's FS, metaknight's specials, etc...)
Though I could be wrong as there have been FEW but major updates that happened durning and post-E4all, such as map creator, co-op, and such. If that random factor is in and Zelda gets lucky , we will get an update any day now (unlikeley)
More likely, as the character updates are getting further and further spaced, I woudn't expect to see Zelda FS, her DownB, shiek, or her replacement until say post-dec 3 (we will most likely get SOMETHING significant to smash on those days, since the game was delayed for something the team was working on and isn't ready to tell it- according to the official spokesman, it could just be marketing), or at very worst, januarish. She will be one of the last updated because theyre obviously hiding something , either shiek or zelda's new down b
My moneys on december, how about you guys?
