How long until a Zelda update!?-- YUCK sheik!, doesnt count as an update :P

[Chepe]

Oh wow, another Final Smash update... just wow!

 

[Iris]

Lucas's Final Smash? Sakurai's teasing Zelda fans, I know it.

Fine, you win, she doesn't exist.

 

[Rane]

Sakurai had better give us a good Zelda update soon. She was confirmed 5 months ago, and hasn't gotten anything, but newcomers like Sonic and King Dedede have gotten updates the day after they were announced. This is totally unfair.

 

[Tingle_Stole_My_Pants]

I personally think they're taking all this time with Zelda's profile so they can try to even out the strengths and weaknesses of the Zelda/Sheik duo. Seriously, they were not an equal pair. A lot of people ended up ditching Zelda for her Ninja alter-ego, which went against the original concept (balancing out Sheik's high speed and low power with Zelda's low speed and high power). Maybe he's trying really hard to get it right this time, but just in case something doesn't work out he won't reveal anything so as to keep from making any kind of commitment.

Then again, the coffeeman may have weighted the dice...

Or Mr. Sakurai just wants to drive us nuts.

 

[Tingle_Stole_My_Pants]

Did you just make these up or did you find them somewhere (and if the latter, where?)

I made them up. Although there's a good chance you'll find a book with that exact title if you look hard enough. But with my luck, it'll be in Chinese, because I can't read Chinese.

 

[fishman3114]

why not tomorrow?

I hope by tomorrow, seeing as you posted that and 12 in the morning, you mean today. Becuase updates only happen on week days.

 

[Ryudo_Sama]

He will probably do the rest of the characters Final Smash and moves first then he will get to Zelda last.

 

[Drake3]

Or just forget about her until the game's released.

 

[Coen]

Just wait and be patient. Whining is not a option.

I'll leave this open for now though.

 

[Iris]

Well, who else exactly was left alone for 5 months on the Dojo? I don't think there's that much whining, but I personally don't have much patience left.

If she's not updated by December 15, hopefully CoroCoro comics will be able to say whether or not Sheik's included, so at least we'll know that much.

 

[Demoncannon]

well Zelda will be completed soon, if you look at the veterains, most of them have had ONLY their final smash introduced. Zelda will have her skills known soon enough, good things come to those who wait

 

[Iris]

Well, it's already clear that Sakurai's avoiding her. Not to be a pessimist, but there's plenty of other updates he can fit in first, especially since we only get about 1 character update every week or two. I can easily see every other character having a full page before Zelda gets anything.

If they update Zelda's page, they'll have to eventually do her moves. I mean, that pretty much controls why she's not being updated, so they'll have to offer some kind of explanation about them.

 

[Demoncannon]

well don't panic, she will be revealed soon enough

 

[Tingle_Stole_My_Pants]

Iris, I just realized something...

So far, they've only made an update for the Veteran characters if they changed something about them, like Mario's new Down B, or the new designs of Fox's B moves, the alterations of Link's B moves, things like that. I'd expect an update to be made about Bowser shortly.

It could be that they haven't changed Zelda's B moves enough to warrant a Dojo update. Of course, that still leaves the Final smash, but don't forget about Kirby, who had about a 4 month difference between his profile update and his Final Smash update.

 

[Iris]

If Zelda's moves aren't worthy of an update, why would they avoid giving her a final smash update and make her unplayable in the demo? I see where you're going, but that moveset is what's controlling her from being updated, not her final smash or anything like that. Hell, even if it hasn't changed, transform would be interesting enough to earn an update. Trust me, if Fox's blaster's simple "aesthetic change" was worthy of an update, a new Down B or graphically enhanced transformation is too.

 

[Drake3]

Exactly. Zelda being able to transform into a different character (to people who are new to SSB) will be worthy of an entire update slot.

Fox got an update, for his updated looks ( the gun ,etc) Sheik is supposedly returning with a new look in some way or form . Shouldn't they have updated Sheik by now if she were to be present with Zelda? =S
( I don't really consider Sakurai wanting to conceal Sheik. She was in Melee, was a starter, most people expect her to return. Not much shock)

Hmm..

 

[Ztarfish]

I don't think they're holding out on a Zelda update for Sheik, Sheik wouldn't be too shocking or hype gathering. I mean a good portion of people already expect Sheik to be in. If they wanted to go for shock and awe they would've released Zelda and Sheik and held out on ZSS. That would've gathered hype.

I think they changed her Down-B and that's why they're holding out. It could just be wishful thinking though.

 

[HipsterKid]

I know everyone is saying that many people are expecting Sheik so it wouldn't be a surprise or anything but what if Sheik's moveset was the one that was changed.

I mean, I know that is hardly likely but that could also be a reason why they are holding out on them.

 

[Iris]

They could easily release Zelda's moves without Sheik's moves included. In fact, it wouldn't make sense for them to be in the same update as they're different characters in the same sense as Samus and Zero Suit Samus are.

The only sensible reason they would be holding it out would be if Zelda could no longer transform into Sheik, at least not in the same way as Melee.

 

[HipsterKid]

Yes but you know that the updates have no logic behind them and the just go randomly.

 

[Zelda_Sheik]

Since there are six Final Smashes lefting (Zelda, Wario, King DeDeDe and Snake) and without confirming in the Dojo official page (ZSS and Sonic), I think that they will be shown on 3 weeks (If they are in the same mood like this week with two final smashes). I think Zelda will be the last one though. They did something to Zelda.

 

[wisewaters]

Technically, Sakurai updated Zelda on 21/11/2007 Wed.
But all we got from that was two alt. color costumes!!
Zelda hasn't been in many pictures. And she wasn't in any movies or E4All videos either.
Sakurai's certainly making her elusive.
I bet on December.

 

[Drake3]

Technically, Sakurai updated Zelda on 21/11/2007 Wed.

That's not even close to counting.

 

[Airgemini]

That's not even close to counting.

I know right....I'm going to guess on a Zelda update on Monday....Hopefully.

 

[Wing-Zero]

there is no way of telling
(stop beating a dead cow)

 

[Wing-Zero]

or horse ........
same thing lol

 

[Chepe]

Well, now we know that even if Sakurai doesnt do a Zelda update on the Dojo, we will know if she can transform into Shiek on December 15. This is 100% certain because if Coro Coro doesnt do all the characters then they will at least do all the starters, and who really believes Zelda wont be a starter?

I still believe a new Shiek design (in TP style glory) would be enough for Sakurai to hold back on revealing her... Who else thinks that if Shiek gets a profile update we will see a Zelda Special Moves update along with it (including Down B)? Just seems likely...

 

[Airgemini]

Yeah I think if Sheik is in the game he'll make a double update, one for Zelda's moves and the other for Sheik's moves.....

 

[Your Hero]

It doesn't matter if he tells us what her moveset is, because the character pages on the DOJO are usually missing one or two attacks. I could be wrong thouhg, if sheik is out and they move nayru's love to b-down.

 

[Iris]

I don't know, hopefully CoroCoro comics will provide explanation, but just listing Zelda isn't going to be good enough for anyone. If they list a transformation with her, we'll know. If all they say is "Zelda," then it's inconclusive.

 

[Mirron]

Maybe I'm just being optimistic, but I'm hoping for a Zelda update this week. I have a good feeling, so who knows, maybe we'll get lucky.

 

[HipsterKid]

I've had good feelings for Zelda every week since the beginning of October. My optimism has died. But, hey, maybe your feeling is more accurate than mine is.

 

[Mirron]

Well, I like alot of characters, so it could be a good feeling for them. But I'm fairly sure it's Zelda. For all I know though, it's just something minor. But, who knows. Aside from Sakurai.

 

[ugg1020]

I'm betting that sakurai will eventually show zelda's Up, side and neutral b, and leave out down-b. XD

 

[VideoGamer713]

The reason they delayed it was to perfect the online play.

 

[SpitFire15]

The reason they delayed it was to perfect the online play.

Zelda's down B =/= online play

 

[super-7]

The reason they delayed it was to perfect the online play.

wtf, what does this have to do with online?

 

[Beet]

Give Us shiek Or Give us DEATH!!!!

 

[RyokoYaksa]

Give Us shiek Or Give us DEATH!!!!

Hold your breath.
