You can't tell anything from the pictures, but SHEIK IS "basically" CONFIRMED.

In a (REAL) interview about Phantom Hourglass, the guy talks about how he created the basic designes of Link, SHeik, and Ganondorf for Brawl.

The only question is if she'll be a transformation again or her own character. Most likely another transformation.
That sounds ambiguous.

Maybe he designed the Sheik trophy? D:

if Sheik ends up being an Assist I'll die...

Sheik's chances of returning are as good as Zelda returning....

Yea, I know it's pretty old, but since people were basing Sheik's confirmation on blurry screenshots, I figured I'd throw that out there.

But I've had that feeling of hope for about a week now so it can't really be trusted.
I've been hoping for an update for a while now, but nothing so much as an important screenshot. Pretty soon I'm just gonna accept the fact that Sakurai hates her and will never give her an update.

SSE with Zelda and Mario...again, but less shaky :p
she used Dins Fire and we didnt even noticed, and twise, it seems to be more powerful, at least it has more knockback, as her Ftilt and such did send primids away,, but didnt killed them, Dins fire did, but it can be just me though. She also seems to have super armor (or whatever the name for that thing that heavy characters have) when using Farore's Wind (she got shot by one of the clouds, and she didnt flinch)

Also, what I though it was transformation, is actually some kind of new Down aerial, it seems

Personally, I don't want Sheik to return, or at least return as Zelda's transformation. I didn't like that idea for Zelda, and noone used it like it was intended. Really, who switched back and forth between Zelda and Sheik during every battle? And now we have Pokemon Trainer which seems to improve the concept of transforming characters.

Zelda will no longer be unique if Sheik returns, and with her absence from the demo it probably does mean she/he/it/potato is back, but what I don't understand is why we haven't been shown it yet? Everyone who played Melee knows about it. Does Sakurai want to surprise all the people who've never played or heard of Melee before? "Check it out! This royal princess can turn into a ninja! How cool is that??"

if you dont like sheik or even zelda for that matter dont use her and if it just sheik....then dont use her. you can complain all you want but their are a lot of ppl that use sheik and also a lot of ppl that like sheik. just because of your personal opinion of sheik is negative that does not mean she should be taken out a lot of ppl have been complaining about sheik " oh she'll be rigged ", " oh i don't want her to come back " for those ppl it does not matter to you because you wont use her so don't complain. sakurai is aiming to have brawl balanced so im pretty sure sheik's return will involve quite some nerfing so she will be fair and not many ppl should complain about her anymore... oh and imo about separating sheik........ that like saying let separate batman and Bruce wayne so they can fight each other or even saying let have Clark kent and superman duke it out its way to weird and awkward its just not right.....this is just my input........

Wow this was absolutely pointless,Just kidding. the speculation for her coming back is cool, zelda and sheik are one in the same so there should not be a split.
Him. Lol.

Anyways, I can't see a **** thing. At all. o_O

It is weird though, since only the Zelda in Ocarina of Time could transform into Sheik, and this is a different Zelda from a different time period, so her transforming into a Sheikah would be weird o.O

In a constant state of self-examination. In MN.

Why would they need to update Sheik's style to be consistent with Twilight Princess if they were just making her as a trophy or Assist Trophy? In fact, it would make more sense to use her OoT appearance for those purposes, since she actually appeared in that OoT. Making a Twilight Princess version of Sheik for a trophy/AT makes about as much sense as making a Sheik character desgin in the style of Wind Waker for a trophy or AT.
The question at hand is more whether or not she'll make the cut, considering that characters were supposedly designed for but cut from Melee. However, personally I think the million dollar question is whether she returns as a move of Zeldas or as her own character.

I can't see anything! Are you just joking, or are you for real?
Okay, you're right, the video is ****, but this quote from the dude who did windwalkers for the ds had my hopes up:

Aonuma: "I’ve been working with Sakurai for a very long time with this new Smash Bros., because the Wii came out and when discussion for a new Smash Bros. took place nobody could think of anyone other than Sakurai working on it. He was kind of the default, and I was very happy to hear that he would be working on it. Actually, my designers did work on the designs for Sheik and Link and Ganondorf. So they submitted the initial designs, and so it would fit in the Smash Bros. Brawl environment, they’ve had to tweak some of the designs. But Sakurai has brought those altered designs to NCL. We’re working very closely with the team of Smash Bros. Brawl to make sure the characters look their best."

Of course, I had hopes until raptorbite completely smashed them with his...logic. Yes, the Sheik designs could be just for a trophy, but that would be REALLY gay. It's like Miyamoto saying "Hey, everybody loved Sheik so much, lets just tempt them with a trophy...wait a minute, I have to take care of this *kills baby*...but not actually include her in the game."

If they do put in Ganondorf, he'll definitely have an original move set; either a combination of OOT and TP attacks he uses when Link fights him as a boss, or they'll just make up some moves for him like they did when they made Captain Falcon a playable character in the original SSB. (he was only ever a head inside a vehicle, so all his moves were original)

And about shiek, what about combining the OOT version of Shiek; the one we all know and love, and combining it with the Twilit costume of Zelda? That is most likely the closest character in TP to that of Shiek. Twilit costume for Zelda never really moves around in the game, so they could use that costume, and use old Shiek's move set for it. How about that?

All I do know, is that Zelda was withheld from the demo because of Sheik.
if Sheik was in, they didn't want to reveal him/her/it/potato
if Sheik was out, they didn't want to disconfirm him/her/it/potato.

That fact that you brought up Tai-- is because there was a princess under that hooded cloak. Sheik is a ninja, not a princess under a cloak.

No doubt about Sheik returning, I just hope that they make Sheik look a lot darker, preferably giving her a scarf covering her face with rips and tears at the ends of the scarf with prints of Sheikan art with her blue toned down, almost a black, instead of blue. Make us proud. Aonuma.

For her movesets, I wish they'd make her even flashier, like make her have a 4-step chain combo with her dancing with the chain, deflecting projectiles and items while damaging opponents that come in contact with her chain.

OR, Zelda simply wasn't ready yet.

OR, they didn't want us to know that Sheik ISN'T in yet.

Why would they not want us to know Sheik isn't in? Didn't Aonuma submit updated designs for Sheik and Ganondorf? Sheik is too unique to get booted. I wouldn't see why they'd get rid of her, yet Zelda still use Farore's Wind, Din's Fire, and Nayru's Love when they were nowhere to be seen in Twilight Princess.

===========================================

i think so too, and that she wasn't ready yet, they haven't even released her moves yet, and that's probably another reason why, probably because sheik is in. and is it just me or zelda looks alot taller?

What is potato? I've participated in other online communities, and never once have I seen that term used like that. xD

Anywhoo, yes, she does seem a bit taller, and somewhat faster, but then again, to me, everyone looks like they got a boost of speed. Her Din's Fire looks bigger too, and Farore's Wind looks more graceful.

Nayru's Love hasn't been shown yet, and to me Zelda looks smaller. But then again all of the humanoid characters seem smaller compared to Bowser, DK, etc. Proportions seem to be a bigger thing this time around.

I hope that when performing Naryu's Love, the dimond breaks into shards, instead of the dimond desappearing, and then the shards appearing, it wouldnt bother me if it didnt happen, but it would make the attack look cooler. Also probably make it countinuous, like, if you keep holding the special button, the shards would just keep slicing around.

Also, it's cool that Zelda now has super armor while performing Farore's Wind, now you can teleport without the fear of someone attacking you before you could, it was so annoying in Melee.

I think Zelda looks... taller :ohwell:

And about Sheik. She will return, as a seperate character or not. They won't remove a character from the game since many fans would be dissapointed.

Except that they will remove characters and that it doesn't really matter that the few people who actually like Sheik as a character would be disappointed because they'll buy the game anyway and characters like Sonic will do more than enough to counter such disappointment.

So long as they take away that forsaken horrendous lag. It could almost be used as a "Get away from me" skill if it weren't for the fact that after you get everyone away, they just jump right back while you're vulnerable.

I was thinking that since they've started charging alot of attacks that the same might happen to NLove. The longer you hold, the bigger/longer the shards are/stay for.

I actually meant that you could hold the attack like Fox Reflector thingy, but your idea is also good :p

Because they want to keep people in suspense?

Designs for Sheik could mean anything - it could be for an AT, a trophy, or even a **** sticker.

I dont think so, because the dude that released info about giving Sakurai the art for Ganon, Shiek, and Link said 'doing his best to fit the characters into the world." he called them characters, so that's gotta do something for proving Ganondorf and Shiek will be playable characters...
...maybe??

I hope not, because that is what they are doing with Samus; they won't do the same thing twice. If the final smash transformation is Samus, and the character transformation Down+B is Pokemon Trainer, Shiek might end up being something new and original. *cough like his own character cough*
