The problem you have Diddy Kong is you have no argument. You have no ground to stand on. You have yet to bring an argument for Impa and your only justification for her is Sheik's spot. Let me say this, as far as people asking for characters, no one is asking for Impa. Yet you want to have her take the spot of a very well liked character. Post Brawl should show you that most people want the old guys in as well.
The only character he had no intention of adding was Pichu. Any argument you make about the Brawl cuts is irrelevant becuase of this.
So far, no character has replaced another one. Lucas never replaced Ness. Mewtwo and Roy were to be side by side by Ike and Lucario and it will likely happen in the next game. On that note, people were in outcry when these characters were cut. You'd think they'd like Impa replacing Sheik.
Your argument is based on a thing that never happened.
Why does Impa have to replace Sheik. If Impa is so important, why not have Sheik AND Impa. Was does one have to replace the other. I mean, Impa is important enough to warrant her own character right.
The rest of the post does nothing for your argument. You don't even know what your point is anymore.
Most of what you said was background story about Impa, not what she did. You were even wrong as
I say Ghirahim is far more impotaint because he is an antagonist. He is the main villian until towards the end and you fight him three times in the course of the game. He is what is moving the story. The struggle between you and him. Impa offers nothing besides
Now, I'm not saying Ghirahim should be in. I'm making the point that she is not that important. She is very much a side character and not the main one. Zelda, Link and Ghirahim are, which is why they have appeared more in trailers and promotional material. We didn't know Impa existed until near launch.
....and Sheik was just in OoT 3D
She's a Smash Brothers veteran. That's all you need. Your arguments are "She hasn't been in a game for a while," and neither has half the cast (Pit ring a bell).How does Sheik's irrelevance make no sence? I've explained all. Read it up.
Difference is you either have no point, or it's just bad.Same here. I feel this more, cause people refuse to see the point I'm making.
Are you Psychic or something. Sakurai hasn't said anything about this doubt of Sheik nor could you infer it. Your making stuff up now.Not quite, but now would be a good time cause they seemed to be in doubt already.
So he's lazy now because he brought back an older character (one people liked) Your arguments get worse and worse.Not quite, he was pretty lazy with Zelda characters in general I feel. If anything he wanted to use Zelda / Sheik another time cause Zelda had not much to base of from from Twilight Princess. Except for a sword, but Ganon didn't get his either.
Except he obviously caes about "Smash importance" because HE BROUGHT NESS BACK.You fail to see that with having said this, Sakurai DOES seem to care about relevance, not "Smash importance" which all of you seem to cling on to for a counter argument to Sheik's replacement. That and 64 had less characters to cut than Brawl has, and Ness being more important than Sheik.
Young Link was planned and added as seen here. He brought Jigglypuff back, a character who's inclusion was always questionable. I do think he cares about old characters. So again, you have no argument.Maybe as another last minute Mario addition, but he preferred new characters (keyword: NEW) over him as Wolf and Toon Link, and long time veteran Jigglypuff. Pichu and the actual OoT / MM Young Link where definitely not planned though.
OK, let's go back to your argument because you don't even get it any more. Your saying that Impa will replace Sheik, as in Sheik bye bye Impa in. If Dr. Mario was in the data, that means he was planned to come back. In other words, Dr. Mario was no bye bye. He was in. But time made him not be in. Someone is replaced when someone else takes their spot. If the plan was to have both, that means they ae not replaced.You forgot that Sakurai quite early said there would be cuts from the Melee roster. That he tried to bring back Dr.Mario might be a sort of make up act for that. He didn't push it through however, and if we'd get a veteran back it'd be Mewtwo. He had the most data from all cut characters.
The only character he had no intention of adding was Pichu. Any argument you make about the Brawl cuts is irrelevant becuase of this.
So far, no character has replaced another one. Lucas never replaced Ness. Mewtwo and Roy were to be side by side by Ike and Lucario and it will likely happen in the next game. On that note, people were in outcry when these characters were cut. You'd think they'd like Impa replacing Sheik.
Your argument is based on a thing that never happened.
Let me say it again because you don't get it.Cause they're both Sheikah, could both function as part of Zelda's moveset, could INDEED be similar to Sheik in terms of regular A moves and why bother upgrade a character to recent appearance (Zelda) with an outdated character coupled with her (Sheik)?
Why does Impa have to replace Sheik. If Impa is so important, why not have Sheik AND Impa. Was does one have to replace the other. I mean, Impa is important enough to warrant her own character right.
No one said Wario. That never happened. You are making stuff up.Wario your right with, still SOME said what I said.
Lucario and Mewtwo where both wanted, but if you had asked Lucario fans about it, they would indeed pick Lucario as a replacement instead of not having him at all. Which is what likely happened.
Everyone wanted 'Wind Waker' Link to be Luigified based on his Wind Waker appearance. Hence, an UPDATED version. Of coarse relevance had nothing to do with this right :/ New Zelda games should be ignored for Smash of coarse to keep the same (boring) cast with the same (boring) playstyles.
Everyone who actually played Fire Emblem recognized Ike to be the better choice. Here relevance had no role to of coarse?
The rest of the post does nothing for your argument. You don't even know what your point is anymore.
The bold is why your argument stinks. if your a background character, you are unimportant. This is like saying the stage hand in the play is the lead character.You purposefully left out just about everything, which really makes me doubt if you played the game or not, or just skipped through 87% of the text.
She guided Zelda through all 3 of the first temples, protected her from Ghirahim himself three times, most notable in Earth Temple where she had to interfere cause Link was too slow and of coarse in the cutscene. She knew just about everything on the seal on Demise and how to keep him in there in her old forme, guided Link through everything in her old appearance as well. She was also send by the Goddess herself as her chosen warrior to guide Zelda, a role she kept with for THOUSANDS OF YEARS, she is the first human to know about the Triforce's existance, she literally is responsible for guiding both Link and Zelda, Zelda even both in young and old appearance. Heck, the fact she alone has a double role should be enough actually. Hence she wasn't shown much in the trailers. Was Demise ever shown in trailers? No. Why? Spoilers. The famous cutscene was showed though, and they literally revealed Impa as 'a character you might remember from previous games'.
Thats a lot more than Sheik did in OoT, where she just teaches you songs, and gets beaten by a boss in a cut scene.
That Impa was much in the background doesn't make her less important. Especially as her real role is revealed in the end anyway. If I didn't actually complete SS, I might've agreed. But I did, so I don't.
Most of what you said was background story about Impa, not what she did. You were even wrong as
Impa only helps Zelda in the second and third temple. Even when protecting Zelda, she fails and you come in and save both of them. You are saving them from a chaaracter who has appeared three times before and fought you once. You do not see Impa again until 3 dungeons later.
being old. In fact, if you want Impa, you'd get the old version because that character did something though most of the game. The Impa you want sat in the past for at least a third of it. In that time, you still see Ghirahim.
Ness hasn't been important for years. Pit has been dead for over 20 years.Sheik being unimportant is an overlooked fact though. Read this entire post btw.
....and Sheik was just in OoT 3D
You cling to very piss poor arguments. I'm saying a lot of this as someone who was around during Brawl and saw everyone do the same thing and be wrong. Your argument is trying to stretch Impa's limited importance (even having wrong facts) and trying to say Sheik isn't important when she was just in a game and they are still making figurines for her (and none for Impa, funny huh). Yet, as you say she is SOOOO important, you ignore Ghirahim who was actually moving the story forward and did something. All the while, you argue about how she isn't relevant, making up stuff about Wario and pre Brawl and say Lucas replaces Ness which never happens. All the while you ignore the fact that if Impa was important and could be in the game on her own merit, she wouldn't have to replace Sheik (here's a hint. Seeing as she has to replace Sheik, it means she's not important or a good character and has to be tied to another character who already has and will keep that slot.)Says the one who disregards Impa by overlooking just about, everything.
