Ahh Monday, the day I go back to work. <img src="http://smashboards.com/images/smilies/urg.gif" alt="Urg" /> On the plus side, that’s the day Sakurai also goes back to work, which means more updates. Today, we have something totally new, kinda. A returning character from Smash bros Melee, Zelda! (dah dah dah daaaaaaaah!)

<img src="http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/zelda/zelda_070625d-l.jpg" alt="I see she's still got her Down-Tilt" />

<!--more-->

Zelda’s retaining some of her previous moves, her Down-tilt, as shown above, and what appears to be her neutral A. Sakurai says that her movement capabilities aren’t great (Like in Smash Melee) but her magic empowered attacks make up for it.

“There’s a reason her hands and feet glow you know” also seems to hint she might very well keep other old moves, including both Forward and back arials and Forward Smash too. However, not a hint at all to wether Sheik’s staying or going. You could argue that since she’s in her Twilight Princess style Sheik won’t be in it, however, what’s the alternative? Have Zelda look like she did in Melee? As usual, post away and feel free to discus this on <a href="http://smashboards.com">our forums.</a>

If sheiks gone and her moveset is remotely the same as melee, I might never be her. So I’m pretty confident Sheiks back, probably with an all new look.

Don’t worry, it’s just the perspective. Zelda is just that much closer to the camera.

Sweet, who would have guessed? A new returning character before Snake, Meta Knight, or Z-Suit Samus are officially re-announced. :B

YoshiBro.222: Your logic as to Sheik being back is that you personally wouldn’t play as her? That’s silly.

sheik will be back no doubt. hes making this game for the fans and is merely using the most current editions of the characters to give the game visual appeal, i hardley think its to keep in line of some story balance. if that were the case than mario wouldnt be wearing that plumber suit now would he? hes have fludd on his back. sheik was to popular of a character to not make it. and yes u could say thats biased but i think that sakurai knows what the fans want and dont want :p

I’m pretty sure Sheik was taken out in favor of Z-Suit Samus. I mean really, Zamus looks to play more like Sheik in the Nintendo World trailer anyways. And frankly, I don’t want two transforming characters unless the second one is Ganondorf with the ability to become Ganon.

I doubt Zelda will suck without the ability to turn into Sheik anyway. Just look at how well she can shoot Light Arrows in Twilight Princess for darn’s sake!

What about wolf link with midna on his back? Or just Midna alone? None of that ‘alternative costume’ crap, I hope.

What about… an alt. form of Zelda looking like Sheik. It would be a clever recurrance for Sheik. But the reason most people ever played as Sheik for Sheik’s better moves. They may include a Ocarina of Time Zelda in the game instead.

Zelda is good for casual players. I just played 8 rounds with her and didnt change into sheik and won 6 out of those 8 matches. Now this may not mean much to the pros since the computers were only on level 8. Shes not the worst and not the best. As i said shes good for casual players since were not the best.

I have long stood by my belief that tiers are an invention of people who are no good with some fighters and rule with others. There is NO worst character, just the one YOU are worst with.

The post i made was supposed to be in a different blog sry. But shes really not the worst. In fact just like the inker said no ones the worst only the person controling the character is the worst.

Alright fine. Well all say bowsers the worst. He has the most damage, and most deaths with me. He just gets beat down every fight.

The one that looks like a neutral a on the ground could be an aerial; look at her dress and how far it’s extended. With the waist so tight on her model picture, it seems that the only way it could be that far extended to the right is if she were in the air.

I believe she is in the air, but it looks to me as if she is performing her &gt;B move. Definately in the air, tho.

I think that since zelda has her TP look, they’ll make shiek a character all on her own. if they decide to keep just zelda she’ll be the most unplayed character. but as a bonus, she’ll have a new down B move. and also will shiek if shes her own character.

Princess Peach doesn’t have to be in every super smash bros game. Although I shouldn’t say that, because I really think Zelda is the best. :)

The sweet, sweet land of sweet, sweet, chocolate,
why does (almost) everyone hate zelda, she’s not that bad; her smashes do good damage, her throws are strong and her aerials can finish everyone off if you time them right. BTW, shiek is good for combo’s, but doesn’t have a good finishing move, so if you want good damage and be able to finish them off, you have to switch between both. Thats a good reason to use both and not to exclude zelda (or shiek, in rare cases)

linkxzelda; I said it before, peach is a valuable smashcharacter, and people underestimate her. she can be a real powerhouse;
if you combine her float and aerials, cause before you end the float, you can do about 80% damage!!
use her forward aerial to finish them off and use toad for both defense and offense.
BTW; there are only a few female characters, so she’ll probably stay in the game to keep it balanced…

the float and aerial starts when you throw them up and then smash thaem in the air, then press down + Y to hover in the air and start using your aerials, so the float combo only does about 55-60%, but it’s still a good combo, right?? so please don’t underestimate her

srry for the double post
