Starfy would be too. Seeing as how he didn't get a character page but appeared.

That's one or two new ones lately. Neither labeled as an Assist Trophy, notably. I can't wait. waii

I also just got a Wii U. So now I can get both versions. grin I also can't wait till Nintendo's online is fixed. I plan to download the Wii U Demo of Sonic Lost World to see which version I prefer. I'm quite glad they didn't pick it up for me.

Err, to someone who said that Zeldas and Links personalities are interchangeable... Err, nope. I mean, with Link it IS mostly that, but you have to remember that A Link to the Past/Oracle games/Link's Awakening Link is apparently a bunny, Ocarina and TP Links are wolves and Windwaker Link is comic relief. So basically while they are all mute goody goody protagonists, they do have minor differences. And with Zelda that is more radical even though most of the time Zelda is type of "Oh my hero, please save us all while I'm captured and wail about it" type of damsel in distress in most of the games where she lacks role in story besides being the goal of the game to save, she tends to have more differences between games <_< I mean, TP Zelda is basically the one that is serious all the time, Skyward Sword and Minish Cap Zeldas are much more energetic and Tetra is... Well, you know. Hourglass Zelda is also pretty different. So yeah

Also, fricking Reggie, you might as well have replaced him with Sukapon considering how small chance both of those have :P Or is it a thing to have impossible character in a bingo card?

But change for the sake of change is alienating and can ruin a good thing.

True, but changing because the developers have an idea for a new thing they legitimately think is better than the old thing has just as much chance of being a good thing as it does being a bad thing.

Hey! I already signed one supporting a woman who had lung problems that was going to be put in a nursing home if she and her husband didn't keep getting support from the government and the petition succeeded, so I can sign a silly video game petition if I want!

I don't see how petitions for video games are stupid at all. They only exist to gather support.

My experience with the Zelda franchise isn't too deep, but I never thought of her as that kind of character.
She is at her most serious in Ocarina and Twilight Princess (where in both games the situation was extremely dire from the get go or soon after you meet her), but most of her other incarnations are either variants of Damsel in Distress (such as in the NES games and Link to the Past) or play off of her being more child-like, if not actually a child (any incarnation of Young Zelda and Wind Waker Zelda. I don't know if Zelda in Skyward counts since I've only played up to the first dungeon in that game, but she's way more chipper at the beginning of it). Since this Zelda is essentially the same character in design as the one in Brawl, she's mostly based off of the one in Twilight Princess. So yeah, she's in serious mode.

Similarly, Link is supposed to be based off of his "adult" selves from the series (mostly Ocarina, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword), but they appeared to have made him... angrier, than he was in his own games or in the other Smash games (especially in the Mega Man reveal trailer and in these screenshots with Zelda). Toon Link's more passive expression only makes Link's expression stand out more.

Anyway, I'm glad Zelda's back in and yes, I agree that she's very pretty in this game. I doubt that Shiek won't be returning; Sakurai considers Shiek and Zero Suit as their own characters, so Shiek will have a separate reveal if she's indeed returning.

Technically speaking, Ocarina of Time and TP Zelda's don't match up exactly <_< They do come across as semi similar when you consider that Zelda spends latter half of the game as Sheik who is similar, but once she reveals herself she enters into "Oh my hero" mode and gets instantly kidnapped, kinda like what happens to Tetra when she becomes Zelda in Wind Waker minus insta kidnapping. TP Zelda on other hand has her serious face through pretty much whole game. Which I guess is kinda fitting since her first two scenes are her wearing omninious cloak and flashback where she has sword even though she never uses it against Zant. That and game doesn't play the usual Zelda x Link at all, not even small hints they usually do. Though thats probably because of Midna and not because TP Zelda is ultra serious :P

...Why I'm oddly started to get reminded of that variation of "insert response" meme where they have different Zelda's from different games being depicted with being completely different in personality?

Although I'm glad she got revealed today, by expecting her to be revealed today I was less exciting when I did see her. Like I was all like "Cool" and stuff, but it wasn't like when Marth got revealed and I was totally not expecting a reveal and was more excited because of that.

Granted, I was super-hyped when I saw Toon Link revealed even though I knew they'd be a reveal on that date, but that's probably because there was bit of mystery as to whether it'd be Toon Link or Zelda getting revealed. And because I like him and everyone said he'd be cut.

[up][up]What meme?

EDIT: I'm also glad they decided to reveal a new character before Zelda because I was hoping for a nice even twenty characters to be revealed before next year rather than an odd nineteen.

Last night, I had a dream that the Teen Titans were announced on the site. Turns out that my dream came true in that there actually was a character reveal, but it was one that made much more sense.

^^One minor one, its one of those "Here is blank label someone did, now use photoshop to insert your own text" ones and not really an original one either :P Like I said, its just variation of those "Multiple people respond to same thing with at least one or more of them having completely wtf responses" memes. Also kinda made up when you consider that A Link to the past Zelda and original one didn't really have a personality to speak off

[up][up]What [lol]

I'm a little worried. I tried to avoid finding out the secret characters in Brawl before the game came out but ended up spoiling all of them for myself. I promised myself not to do the same again with this game, but this time around Sakurai seems to be posting secret characters without spoilering them like he would on the Dojo.

I mean, there's no way all five Mario characters are start-off characters. At least one of them has to be unlockable.

And involve something from Spirit Tracks despite her being from Ocarina?

What? From my understanding this is Twilight Princess Zelda who can transform into Sheik for some illogical reason. Taking that into account then having the Phantom from Spirit Tracks be one of her moves wouldn't be too much of a stretch.
