Yeah, it honestly doesn't matter as long as he's got Ragnell. A mix of all three would be neat too, I just wasn't a fan of the Awakening redesign at all. (Whereas for Roy/Ephraim it was ****ing sick)
I am sorry I brought it up. My main point was that I wanted a Skyward Sword redesign for Zelda.Okay, romanticist time!
The reason we don't like discussing Sheik vs. Impa anymore is because wayyyyyy back when smash 4 had only just been announced, when the forums you all see now were all actually just one thread (and an idea thread before THAT which was before I came into the speculation scene), Diddy used to create page-long arguments about how Impa should replace sheik (absolute no disrespect to Diddy btw, he's cool, this story is just funny as heck to tell!)... and no matter how much reasoning and logic we came up with to dispel the idea (for you see, we were not opposed to the idea of Impa coming in so much as the idea of Impa REPLACING Sheik), Diddy would come up with his own logic and reasoning which usually happened to be on a completely different tangent from ours.
And as such the argument would die down, then start up again, then die down, then start up again.... and so on.
And this is why we must never speak ofromanticismImpa and Sheik in the same sentence again. :3
If Sheik just being Zelda didn't utterly obliterate your argument (it does), OoT3D would. And if that game being released didn't obliterate your argument, Gerudo Valley as a Stage in Smash 4 would. If even then you still clung to your irrationality, all one needs to to is say that this is Smash Bros, and your argument is obliterated. Jigglypuff isn't relevant. Ness isn't relevant. Captain Falcon isn't relevant. However, they're all mandatory because they've become Smash mainstays. Sheik is no exception. You can't let your unfathomable worship of Impa blind you to the facts.
SWORD ARM.
Yo diddy buddy, go back and read my comment, I think you'll like it. =DYeah I know, but I like to joke about it. Also, Japanese version. Can't trust translations. She legitimately looks like a man though. Moreso in Melee and Ocarina of Time than in Brawl though.
Sheik being Zelda matters not to me. Each Zelda is a different one, and I'd like Goddess incaration SS Zelda to be the main Zelda. Sheik doesn't really fit on her for me, but if they go for a mix of characters, like Link, it would fit better. Still, Sheik is Ocarina of Time specific. A one-off with a small role, responsible of bad balancing between Zelda and her, and still counts as a full character spot on the roster.
Impa is an all around more important character than Sheik. And it's far more likely we're gonna see Impa in future Zelda series. Seeing as Bowser already got fixed, I'm hoping for more character revamps for characters who've never been good. Namely: Yoshi, Ness, Luigi, and Zelda. All have been low and bottom tier in all their Smash appearances. I think this is a good time to buff those all up, and revamp some moves.
Am personally thinking Impa is a good way to give the Zelda series a 'lazy' newcomer. A way to buff the Zelda character roster, while mostly revamping the veterans: Link, Zelda and Ganondorf. Impa could inherrit most of Sheik's playstyle, and some moves, and probably get different specials. Tilts and aerial game have most of Sheik's moves, and I'd think Impa took good use to those moves cause of her longer legs. Which is a slight range buff for Brawl's Sheik, who also wasn't that amazing (yet leagues better than Zelda).
I easily could see it happen, but people here don't agree with cutting Sheik. While I'm mostly in favor of cutting nobody, except well, Sonic, which won't happen, I think it's only logical cuts will happen. We had them for Brawl, we might always have them in each installment. I mean, c'mon the dude Sakurai is working on TWO games at a time. Cuts will happen, and he said it before.
I'm only looking at the least deserving character fitting the 'Nintendo All Star' rank. And Sheik easily is the least deserving in my book. Ice Climbers might be second. And I'd consider cutting both of them for balance reasons.
Impa is a good replacement for Sheik's moveset, and a legit Zelda newcomer. As I don't like to see playstyles gone, and like the most newcomers possible, I full heartly support Impa. Her recent role in Skyward Sword made quite the impact on the story of the game, and to me she seems worthy of inclusion now.
I'll still pick Diddy over her any day of the week though.
I hope it's that stage in the cave with the spinning wheel platform. (Some people are saying it's from Donkey Kong Country Returns.)
Oh, why it is absolutely no problem, my good sir. :3I am sorry I brought it up. My main point was that I wanted a Skyward Sword redesign for Zelda.
While I'm obviously not as adverse towards the idea of Impa being in Smash as others are, I just have to tell you: you could almost smell the bias emanating from your post, it really doesn't help your case here
No objections AT ALL!Impa will also have a mach tornado and be modeled after Zoe Saldana
Any objections?
Zoe Saldana is sooo damn hot! Would wife.
Yeah... I wouldn't be surprised if they made Sheik look exactly like Impa... to keep relevant and what not.
No objections AT ALL!
Only objections is no Diddy though. He is all I really expect from this game. All others are a nice bonus.
Well alright then...This is my reaction to Impa discussions EVERY TIME:
Well the proportions and prospective is off, hence the "sword arm" comment. Though having an sword for an arm would actually be kind of badass, albeit impractical.
Imo, the arms and head are disproportionately sized on this.
It's the only acceptable Impa design.
It pretty much describes the horrendous character animations in Sonic Adventure.THAT SONIC IS THE GREATEST THING. I just sat there laughing for a while.
I am not trying to argue anything. I am just pointing out that Nintendo will want to promote their games through SSB. You can give me the 3DS stage argument all you want. I will just rebut with the Skyloft stage argument. You can tell me Zelda is a hybrid all you want. I will just tell you that her physical design in Melee is clearly OoT and her physical design in Brawl is clearly TP. Sheik is Zelda in ONE game. An outdated one at that. Impa has a similar build. She is in the most current game. Forgive me for assuming that Sakurai is going to keep the designs current. Sheik is still a possibility. It is also a possibility that Impa will replace her. There isn't one option that is more likely. Both odds are equal. I can argue that Sakurai will REFINE the roster. You can argue that Sakurai will KEEP the roster. It is all the same. You can throw in stuff Sakurai did in the past like mashing characters together to fit the game instead of redesigning that characters. I can throw in things Sakurai is doing currently like cutting characters and pulling unexpected stunts like Wii Fit Trainer.
The tails moving along the ground while his body was perfectly standing still scene stands out the most to meWas there anyone in that game who didn't have bad animations? Minus Gamma, because he had no face, really.
Seen your post and it made me laugh
Congrats with your 9th placement btw.
Told y'all didn't I? He who has serious ear for it, hears what I was saying all along. Everybody is so certain they'll keep Sheik, but who's to say? Last time, I saw newcomers as Wolf, Toon Link and Sonic take priority over Mewtwo and Roy.
OUTRAGEOUS!
I'm on the job.
So since when did ZSS have her own cartoon show?
I'm on the job.
