Played her in the Demo today at E3. It's like... Meta Knght meets Greninja? It was really hard to tell what was happening because it went so fast. No idea what it's called. Also, I used it on a group of two people (Mario and Kirby), but it only picked up Kirby. Not sure if Mario was simply out of range, or if it only picks up one character to the top of the screen for the "Greninja" slashes. Haven't been able to find a video of it yet.

EDIT: Found a video of it

I've been looking for this! Makes so much sense since Link basically has the light arrows now and Zelda got a new one.

Would you say it looked BOTW/Sheikah inspired? Or just general ninja aesthetic?

Like I said, it went pretty fast, but from what I recall, it was just a generic ninja aesthetic. There might've been a Sheikah symbol at some point? I could just be making that up in my head trying to remember haha.

I'll add it to my list of videos to search for including a Ridley victory.

Glad to hear she has a new one though, Light Arrows never fit her.

That does look pretty dope. I was expecting Sheik to have the same Final Smash as Zelda, but this new one is pretty great. I'm all for it.

Well sheik and Zelda are entirely separated now, they have different designs, sheik even goes before Zelda on the CSS and they apparently have different voice actresses, so giving them the same final smash would've been disappointing

I admit of all the new updated Final Smashes, I like this one the best. Looks really cool.

I am glad it is not the same, considering OoT!Zelda/Sheik and the Zelda in Smash Universe have nothing to do with each other (aside from reincarnation shenanigans, I guess).

As for the final smash, it is cool.

Could be based off those assassins in BOTW, but I think it's just based off of general ninjas.

So that's now 47 final Smashes seen in action. How many is that to go? (all these wacky numbering systems have got me confused.)

This is good news, I expect Impa to be just about 98,76% confirmed just about now <3

I wouldn't count on it yet.
Honestly, I kind of am. The Light Arrow was basically the only big obstacle of making Impa a direct Echo. But it's out of the way now, and this new Final Smash is exremely Sheikah themed. So it would make a LOT of sense for Impa to share the same attack.

True, but this doesn't instantly make her a character.

Wondering when I was an edgelord.

Dark Pit still has his Dark Pit Staff as his Final Smash, despite Pit now using the Lightning Chariot. Echo Fighters don't have to have the same FS, nor does being semicloned prevent a character from sharing their FS with another character. Heck, DK and Little Mac's Final Smashes are identical now despite them being almost completely unrelated (besides DK's cameo in the Wii Punch-Out).

Not saying Impa can't be a character, or that she's guaranteed, just that the Final Smash was never really an obstacle to the possibility of Impa's inclusion. Only reason it would be was if Impa turned out to be a skin for Sheik like Alph is for Olimar.
