No way man!!! Sheik is back?? TOTALLY didn't see that coming...

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Man oh man, and here I thought she was going to be "replaced". Silly me.

 

[HRR2b23]

I never thought Sheik would get replaced, but it's nice to be able to write off all those silly speculators now

 

[8-peacock-8]

Wonder how Diddy feels about this.

 

[Ryan.]

I half expected it, thought it could go either way. Great to see she is a stand-alone character now.

 

[Dreamking]

Seemed like a logical move to me. I just wish that since they excised Shiek from Zelda, they would have gotten rid of the ponytail and made the character look more like the OoT version. Also, I wonder if she will still have her chain.

 

[Malion]

Sheik has changed a bit actually. Though sheik still has the ponytail their physique is more masculine this go around. Both in body shape as well as facial features.
I'm a little disapointed but i guess it's in making sheik more like their oot counterpart.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Wonder how Diddy feels about this.

Like this:

At least she's now separate from Zelda but... Damn, would I have preffered Impa.

Cool her stupid Chain attack is gone though.

 

[Lautsuu~]

Personally, I'm overjoyed that Sheik is back. Sheik was one of my mains in Brawl, alongside Marth, so...yeah. Loving the design!

 

[Diddy Kong]

Guess Impa could still get in as a semi-clone of Sheik, now she is a separate character. Think it would work out very nicely with all these new moves Sheik has. Am a tad dissapointed that she has no Deku Nuts though! Instead, she has a... bomb? Okaaayyyy..?

If Impa were to get in, I doubt she'd be very ninja-like as Greninja already quite does that. She could be more magic based or something. Or with some kung-fu like moves or ****.

*sigh* Guess I should just get used to Sheik being a lock. Same as Toad being forever Peach's Neutral B. And of course, Ridley never being a playable character. I'll even give her a try again, played her a lot in Melee and Brawl after all...

it's going to be okay..... *hugs*

I wonder if she will still have her chain.

Her specials appear to be:

Neutral: Needle Storm
Side: Burst Grenade
Up: Not shown, but It'll probably still be teleport.
Down: Bouncing Fish

 

[Sonicguy726]

Down: Bouncing Fish

Still a really dumb name

 

[Diddy Kong]

A Barrier as Down B would've been so much better than a lame ZSS-like Down B...

Actually, her down b is making me consider her one of my new most hyped characters, that and her grenades (even if they make no sense). I always liked playing as zelda, and now that her specials seem useful I really want to use her (though admittedly I do like playing ZSS and at this point she is my most hyped character 'cause of those kicks).

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

You never see Sheik fight in her source material so of course they had to come up with all of her moves. I just roll with it.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Deku Nuts could've worked well.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Deku Nuts could've worked well.

Now that you mention it, that's what she uses for her up special, Vanish.

[andimidna]

I saw Sheik coming.

 

[Maikou]

Personally I love the new Side-B. her chain was kinda useless unless you seriously wanted to screw with a Ganondorf and take the time to play it out perfectly so they went up to 999% damage. Sooooo looking forward to Kick-Flipping my foes off-screen in Casual Online/ For Fun mode. I don't main Sheik, but I might start to play her even more often than I do (which is a lot by the way).

and I'll admit, Sakurai had me a little worried after the mention of no transformations. Then ZSS appeared on screen and my hope was renewed just like that. and then we get a more ninja-like Nintendo Ninja. (and then a more stereotypical Ninja in Greninja! I is happy char )

Honestly I don't know what Impa's chances are, but after Skyward Sword I certainly hope she ends up an Assist Trophy at least.

and I'm pretty sure ZSS' down B is changed so......hopefully it doesn't end up being something better suited for Sheik than Bouncing Fish (I myself wonder the name, but then again, Martial Arts techniques tend to have wierd names).
