TP Zelda had a Sheik persona design back then. It was originally planned for TP, but only appeared in Smash. Seems logical to bring forth a scrapped concept so they didn't have to change Zelda/Sheik's overall battle style.

So I see the logic right there. Not like Smash is canon, so it shouldn't matter anyway.

It doesn't even matter if Sheik was planned for TP or not, or that TP Zelda isn't associated with Toon game-only Phantoms. Zelda, like Link, is a composite character.

Also, considering how they completely redesigned Pit instead of basing his design on anything prior, I doubt Sheik would have been cut from Brawl even if she didn't have a concept for her in TP.

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.

Got you beat there.

[up][up] That too.

I'm quite happy with the line-up so far, honestly.

I like the current line-up too. I feel every first-party character in this game should be a permanent character in the series.

I specify first-party because third-parties have complicated stuff behind them that means they may not return in the next game.

[up]x4 Now that you brought up Pit, yeah, they actually gave him new moves. So I hope that Phantom Zelda really is a new move to Zelda, because they have already done it in this game.

Seriously, it just shows how far people go with their avocation of advertising. It gets to the point where they'll replace the main protagonist of the series with a one-shot character who people actually think should replace Marth because of a simple plot twist in the most recent game where she pretends to be him when it was obvious it was a woman in the first place.

Minor nitpick, but there is no the main overall protagonist of the Fire Emblem series, just several different ones for several different games. Marth is the most important of them all though, being the original one as well as one of the only two to star in more than one game.

Main. Most Important. Difference is minor in Marth's case. He is the protagonist of four Fire Emblems (two are remakes, but they are still counted otherwise Awakening would be called FE11).

True, the difference doesn't really matter in the grand scale of things.

I wonder how Sheik would look like in this game.

Probably like in Brawl, but nicer.

Wow, Zelda's design looks great in here (Should keep the guys that said Rosie would replace Zelda quiet)

Something I noticed: The pose she has in the Darknut armor pic is the same one she has in the one where she catches Link red-handed.

"Don't you forget who's on the spotlight this month little princess."

People have actually said that?

[up]It's not a Darknut, it's a Phantom.

She could be in the process of summoning it?

Ya know, even if that is assist trophy, it still would appear to be Phantom Zelda since armor has pink tint <_< Unless thats just lightning from attack sparkles or something weird

Then again, it lacks glowing eyes

Yeah, its the same pose. Does Zelda have that kind of pose in Brawl? If not, yeah, Phantom Zelda move maybe possible.

That's entirely a Phantom Knight. The exact kind that Zelda can possess. So it could be an attack, or an Assist Trophy.

[up][up]There's one taunt where she waves, but she's not angry and her other hand insn't sticking out like that.

I'm sorta surprised nobody else here was shocked about the date of this post. That's like a day before the E3 Nintnedo Direct.

It's probably just a guess. Wii Fit Trainer is the only odd one on there. The rest are pretty easy to see.

I'm now conflicted of whether that is supposed to be Zelda possessed one or not, its appears to be pinkish like Phantom Zelda, but it lacks glowing eyes D:< Dang it Sakurai, you should put captions into pictures and make videos for each character upon introduction so we would know! xP

And yes, I saw in Tumblr a good few of guys that were concerned about Rosie overtaking Zelda.

So, I was wrong on guessing the Zelda design. Great. (Not that I have an issue with the TP design... I guess it keeps the number of blondes low. Not that I have a problem with blondes...)

Part of me sorta doubts the Phantom is an attack, mostly because that's something that belongs to an entirely different Zelda. (I wonder if it still has that little eye on it's back...)
