So yesterday I was watching the Nintendo World trailer for Brawl. They had some spotlight on ZSS, and I noticed, "Hey, she has a whip, and she uses a lot of leg for her attacks..." I'm thinking that Zamus is not a direct clone of Shiek, but a replacement, almost like that whold Ness/Lucas thing.


Oh, and sorry if old.

No ZSamus is not Shiek...

Shiek has a good chance of being in the game

Looking at her physics, i agree. It seems like her tilts are very similar to shieks, but I dont think she will be as fast and I think she will a fast-faller. Also, her aerials will probably very different than shieks

*sigh*

If Zero Suit Samus is going to be a clone of Shiek, then Donkey Kong was a clone of Ness in Melee. Heck, Captain Falcon has the same tilts as Samus. Do they fill the exact same niche? No. Stop making stupid assumptions and wait until Brawl is released.

I don't want Shiek in Brawl just because she was uber. I highly suggest she be dumbed down a bit to make her more balanced. But does that give me a right to hate a totally original character? Hell no, Sakurai isn't going to get rid of original characters. If he did, he would be just stupid, honestly, and I know Sakurai isn't.

Hey, that arguement can be very debatable, but I guess we have to wait and see how Zamus fights, but judging by the screenshots, Zamus seems like she fights similar to shiek.

You have no idea how flawed your logic is, and how biased you are. You're not worth my time to argue.

skill always wins, only tiers just help. on topic.... ZSS does have a paralyzer thing, and do you honestly expect more than 3 of her moves to use fists? shiek was more like a male ninja, but it's very obvious ZSS is a girl

You have to use the final smash to get that form, and FS is suppost to be really powerful :ohwell:

It does seem like a definite possibility. Their fighting styles seem to be very similar. I don't think she will fight the same in the air, but I do believe that she replaced Sheik.

While Sheik may not be in the newest Zelda (or newest couple Zeldas), I don't think there's any major reason to kick her out of the game. If they do, it's their decision because it's their game. But it would make sense to revamp he and Zelda to make them equally powerful.

Sheik and Zamus do look like they may have the same tilts, but I personally believe it would be sheer laziness to cut a character from the game and then create a "new" character with the same moves. Maybe Zamus's whip will be the same as Sheiks, and Zamus' gun the same as Sheik's B>, but in the interest of new ideas, I HOPE the other two are original.

On a different topic, do we have any idea yet of whether or not Zamus is her own character, or just the after final smash version of Samus?
