No, you actually conceded. The reasons do NOT matter. She is more popular. Which you admitted. Stop trying to change the point. You got who was more popular.
Doubt it mathers though, cause Sheik overall isn't too very popular besides in Melee. Just check out the Melee Sheik subforums and compare them to the Brawl Sheik subforums. Fans move on if a character is not good anymore, same thing will happen with Meta Knight when / if he gets nerfed in Smash. Main difference between Meta Knight and Sheik is that Meta Knight is still very re-occuring, many times so actually, and is very important / and popular by fans OF THE KIRBY SERIES.
He got replaced by Lucario or PT, because a new Pokemon took his cut spot. Likewise, both Mewtwo and Roy were going to be playable. They weren't replaced at all. Shadow Ball and Aura Sphere were ALWAYS similar. It has nothing to do with Smash. No, Ike did not replace him, regardless of how similar they were. If that were so, there would be NO Roy date. Your point has no merit if they were indeed going to be playable.
They where, at some point perhaps being considered into playable character status, but that's very likely BEFORE they started to implement the special moves for the other characters. Which does mean that in the end they PROBABLY left the Roy and Mewtwo data in to use for Ike / Lucario content.
If Roy and Mewtwo where really considered, they would have a more detailed thropy (Roy doesn't even have one) or Mewtwo could've been a boss, and Roy an AT. Point is, eventually they didn't even bother giving them propper models.
They were not scrapped before being considered. Mewtwo has near playable data. They all have somewhat playable data. Likewise, your point doesn't hold up whatsoever. They were going to be, so neither of them were replaced. Nobody but Pichu was, regardless of who replaced him.
I doubt it, as otherwise it would be pretty easy to hack Roy and Mewtwo into the game. But that's beside my knowlegde. And I just don't agree with your way of reasoning what to call a replaced character and what not.
Roy may have been just like his Melee self, which means he would've been unique, since Marth was different from his Melee self. And yeah, they would've. New had more priority over old. That's it. If there was more time, the rest would be playable. They were all meant to be. Except Pichu.
Which is funny, cause Pichu was one of the more unique clones. Had the most 'own' moves from the clones right after Ganondorf.
Relevancy does not matter, and she is in Smash. She also did something in the SSE. You really don't know what you're talking about here, do you? She's more popular than Impa is anyway, so your point holds no water. She won't leave for a clone.
Your arguements don't hold any steady flow either, except of trying to proof me wrong with whatever you can. Subspace Emisary is not a cannon apperance for Sheik, or any other character. Just a Kirby game 'colored in' with Smash characters...
Sheik was more popular before, but I doubt she even has a significant proof of being more popular than Impa is
with Zelda fans anymore either. Point is, you have to think about the future with Smash. If Sheik makes it yet again in Smash, but all Zelda characters have a character very similar to her in it, who is not her Smash and Zelda fans will wonder why they had Sheik in Smash instead of the re-occuring character. I don't think Impa's popularity AT THIS POINT is bigger than Sheik's, but given the time I easily think it's possible to exceed Sheik.
Which brings me back again: was Lucario ever more popular than Mewtwo anyways?
If Smash importance is everything, why did a very popular Melee character named Roy lose his spot as the second representitive along with Prince(cess) Marth(a) in Brawl then?
You're beyond wrong, it hurts. People do avoid games that take out content they want. Proof? One of my friends will not buy either MvC 3 only because MegaMan is not in. That means yeah, people won't buy as much. Stop staying stuff you don't understand.
I now suspect you of trolling dear sir. MegaMan is about a billion times more popular than Sheik. Is Sheik the flagship of her series, or even her whole company? No she's not. Mega Man however is. There's a big difference. And it's also the reason Mega Man is wanted in Smash even. I very much doubt Sheik would be asked for as a guest fighter in just about any game. >_> You're beyong wrong with your arguement, it
really hurts.
Only Ghirhim is legit. They won't bother with Impa to replace Sheik, who is more popular, a two-time veteran, and still has uniqueness going for her.
Mis-placed uniqueness. There is nothing Sheik can do that Impa cannot do. Impa is even better due to having actual abilities in game which are NOT playing the harp, playing the harp, playing the harp to warp away, and playing the harp to teach songs. Point is: anyone shaped as Sheik can have Sheik's moveset.
Better yet, if Sheik's popularity had so much influence she would've returned in Zelda.
The replacement is your pipe dream. It's fine to have it, but nobody actually agrees with you here.
Would you believe ANYONE Pre-Brawl saying that Mewtwo was getting cut? I certainly wouldn't. Everyone was saying that only clones will get cut. They where wrong in the end.
You're clearly trolling now, sprouting off crap in some severely lame bias against a veteran.
I'm not trolling. Only sometimes when reffering to Impa again as I know it's not a popular idea perse. But that's only because people don't want veterans cut. And refuse to listen to any kind of logic that Sheik actually isn't a relevant, or even unique character and that there are much better choices. I actually want Impa for some reasons, and one of them is preserving Sheik's fighting style while she gets the **** out of Smash, waiting for yet another chance to play the damn harp in another OoT remake.
Some do want Jigglypuff replaced for Meowth.
Am not one of them, but I do see their point however.
But we both know it won't happen. I don't know who you're trying to convince, but you have yet to give one good reason to do so. I gave a legit reason, but you haven't. Nobody believes your points.
I gave plenty of reasons, here and before.
I doubt there's a strong difference.
She's not unique to Sheik.
Sheik is not even unique to herself. And by actually having abilities to fight, Impa is infact unique to Sheik. Unless you want Sheik to play the harp as one of her moves...
People want to play as Sheik more.
Doubt that it's actually Sheik herself they want to play as, as stated before.
Try again with legitimate reasons.
You'll be hearing more from me about this topic, rest assured.
