If people want to change the topic, stop replying to the current one and implement your own. The Impa talk won't stop, but it'll just be contained to one guy talking to himself. :p

And if you don't have anything to to say... don't post. Go elsewhere.

Crazy, I know.

When Diddy stops being stupid, which will in turn make me stop the Fire Emblem discussion.
So it'll be renamed the Impa/FE discussion thread when we stop talking about Impa and FE?

People need to understand that we all love certain characters. Wait until more members come. I can almost guarantee that there will be a devout Sheik fan that will war against Diddy. Then we'll see who comes out on top.
There've been 'devout Sheik fans' who simply don't care if Impa would replace Sheik. Chances are, if people like Sheik, they like Impa. Other way around cannot always be assumed, why? Impa simply has more roles.
Brain cell die lots now because Diddy.
I believe you mean expand, because I force you all to think in a way you guys aren't used to.

I dunno, here's a topic. F-Zero, have fun talking about for a rousing total of three post. If we're lucky.

I don't know, sheik just has made a bigger impact on me as a gamer. impa not as much.


and before you call me out on it, I DID in fact play Skyward Sword.

Did you also finish the game?

And do you claim this because you feel Ocarina of Time is a 'classic' and thus counts for more than Skyward Sword?

Do your age and nostalgia also make a part of this judgement?

I think it's unfortunate that not much has been done with F-Zero, cause the cast of characters is great. I think Goroh is obvious, but if we were just talking about fun characters, I would love to see more of Pico, Mighty Gazelle, and Silver Neelsen.

Alright, we have this same Impa argument every day.
There's no reason to cut Sheik JUST so that we can have Impa instead. Why cut a character for a clone of that same character? Not to mention, even if they were separate, Impa wouldn't really bring anything new that Sheik and other characters haven't brought already.

Skyward Sword sucked.
Dungeons where ****ing boss though. I still rate it higher than Twilight Princess. Also think it's better than out-dated Ocarina of Time.

Which by your means around here is blasphemy.:rolleyes:

oops. my bad.

I've never finished a zelda game. don't judge, I've started pretty much all of them but the closest one I got to finishing was Phantom Hourglass. *Sobs* I'M NOT GOOD WITH PUZZLES DON'T JUDGE ME!

*crawls into corner, still sobbing* :cry:


but really I like impa from where I got into skyward sword, but the first impression was kinda meh. the one after the.... dessert place I think it was? made me like her a lot. Sheik on the other hand, I never finished orcarina(I couldn't ever find that last damn carpenter) always gave of this feeling of mystery and wonder. it's a tough call. impa really never did anything useful in orcarina that made an impact, going to say I like sheik better at the moment. (BTW im still planning on finishing skyward sword no spoilers plz)

And do you claim this because you feel Ocarina of Time is a 'classic' and thus counts for more than Skyward Sword?

what? I'm only 16. I played them at about the same time, (a couple years is considered the same time right?) so none of that matters for me, I'm making claims about my first experiences with the game. Impa's cool, but sheik is cooler, and also relevant.

I see. Skipping posts isn't an option? What about ignoring?

Captain Falcon is all we'll get, and all we'll need until hell freezes over and we get a new F-Zero. :rolleyes:

Skyward Sword sucked.
So did MM until WW. So did WW until TP. So did TP until SS. :troll:

Here is a new topic: is Genesect a likely character?
Nope.

There was apperantly also no reason to cut Young Link for Toon Link then? Ocarina of Time is 10.000.000.000.999 x better than Wind Waker right? And any other Zelda game in existance. How is it even possible an Ocarina of Time character got shafted for such a worthless character, that's basically the same character but in a different skin? :urg: Bothers me greatly till this day and hour.

...

Impa doesn't NEED to be much like Sheik. She can do kung fu-like fighting, cast barriers (that aren't like Pit's shields), have a moveset involving shadows and invinsibility (based on her being the Sage of Shadow / having the Lens of Truth) and possibly use a whole ****ton of weapons. For example, a longsword, as in Hyrule Warriors.



She'd be based of Sheik yes. Much like how say, Jigglypuff is based on Kirby. The alikeness could stop there, or not. I honestly doubt that with Rosalina's reveal, Impa would be anything like Sheik if Sheik is in the game. If she's not however, Impa is easy to create using leftover files from Sheik.

It's actually really quite simple logic...

This explains A LOT! Since Impa's real role gets revealed after the final boss battle. And apperantly, everybody is bashing Skyward Sword without ever having finished it. I won't spoil you anything but damn, can't wait to see your reaction when you completed the game.

Also, like N3ON said, Skyward Sword will be the BEST ZELDA IN THE ****ING UNIVERSE once Zelda Wii U gets released. :smirk:

After Tetra, Impa is my favorite idea for a Zelda newcomer. This is the kind of stuff I would like to see Impa do if she were implemented into SSB. But if she's this different from Sheik, I don't think Sheik needs to be cut to accomplish this.

Nope.

You see, to get a new F-Zero game. Hell needs to freeze over, then thaw, and then turn into a desert.

Also, A Link to the Past > Wind Waker/Orcaina > Twilight Princess > Zelda 1. Just because.

Impa doesn't need to be in Smash 4.

As for Fire Emblem: I could be satisfied with Marth, Ike and Roy. Of course, if not all of them return and Sakurai adds a new, more unique character, then I won't complain.

Of the remaining FE veterans (Roy and Ike), I think Ike should be more prioritized. Considering Roy was planned for Brawl, it may be possible for Roy and Ike returning alongside Marth.

I honestly don't think a new character has any bearing on Sheik whatsoever, even if it is Impa. I think she's safe because she's with the irreplaceable Zelda, whose most interesting fighting debut was in OoT, with Sheik. Unless they cut Zelda for Toon Zelda (which is incredibly unlikely), removing Sheik would mean taking away half of Zelda's moveset and completely reworking her, which will only anger fans and make for a less interesting fighter. There's no reason they absolutely can't conceivably coexist.

skyward sword is on my list for games I need to finish.

after super metroid, but before majora's mask.


I almost never actually finish games, I just get about 80% done and then never actually finish it. I think the most recent game I have played from beginning to end was golden sun over the summer.

Personally I don't really care whether Shiek stays or goes or whether Impa joins or not. If Zelda's gameplay is busted, they can fix it - cutting Shiek isn't the only solution. Shiek's much more likely than Impa, though, or at least I think so. Sakurai had a perfectly good opportunity to cut her in Brawl if he thought she wasn't working or wasn't relevant enough, and he didn't, so she's probably here to stay. Impa's got enough going for her to allow for a completely unique moveset, I guess, so they could coexist if they needed to. But that's not to say she's guaranteed a unique moveset, and Shiek coexisting with Shiek-clone-Impa seems awkward, tacky, and unlikely.

i swear to god though if i see that hyrule warriors screenshot one more time -

The fact you guys keep replying to Diddy doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

I don't think Sheik will be cut and Sakurai seems to want the newcomers to be unique, so if Impa get in I think she'll get an unique moveset.

I have already stated my opinion on Impa many times. So many times, I find Diddy Kong's Impa propaganda tiresome, bothering and overall unpleasant. It's the same old broken record playing the same **** over and over again.

i liked her, though i wouldn't mind if she got replaced, as long as there is some sort of sheikan still playable or something ^_^

Then use common sense and ignore it, or am I asking for too much?

I mean, I don't agree with Diddy, but he's doing exactly the same thing everybody else is in the argument. It's no more propaganda than anything anybody else is saying. Why don't we just acknowledge that both sides have a point and we have absolutely no idea what's going to happen?

It really erks me when people suggest unimportant side FE characters when anything they can bring to the table could also be done by another, more important character.

The problem with Diddy isn't just that he likes or supports Impa. It isn't just that he brings up how he wants Sheik to be removed to make a spot for Impa. It's that he brings her up over. And over. And over again.

It's like FE debates: the reason nobody likes them is because it's the same boring arguments that we've heard over a million times already.

So then stop responding, I guess. I don't get why everybody forces themselves to get pissed off about a video game.

That's why I love reveals like Rosalina's.
They really shake things up and bring new conversations and debates to the table.

Ahhh the sweet sound of people biting their arms off because a certain someone brings up a certain someone up to replace a certain someone again for the up-tenth time as well as all that lord talk that makes everyone grit their teeth. Good times, good times.

So... I assume people have hyped out of Rosalina and are back to their usual ways now?

I am still hyped, I even made a Rosalina avatar club and changed my avatar and location. Will probably change my signature to something Rosalina-related too.
