:In regards to Sheik, however, given how [[Dark Samus (SSBU)|inconsistent]] the Smash Blog seems to be, I think that it's very likely that this was an error, and that it will be fixed later; this is just speculation on my part, and we could very well see something consistent later.

::Given the earlier mention that one of Zelda's trophies in ''Smash 4'' refers to Sheik as a "young man" (and the avoidance of any pronouns in Sheik's tips), it's likely that NoA uses masculine pronouns when they're trying to hide that Sheik is Zelda, and feminine pronouns when they're not. For what it's worth, although Japanese ''does'' have gendered pronouns, it's very easy and natural to write while avoiding them entirely (this also happened with [[Sukapon]]'s Smash Blog entry). I doubt that it'll be changed, though, and the final game will probably use the same guidelines as ''Smash 4''.

::Official references to Sheik as male were also a one-time thing, within the script and promotional materials of OoT itself, and never again after that. As I said, what people cite as recent official references to Sheik as male are entirely misconstrued references to the male ''persona'' of Sheik as acted out by Zelda in OoT (such as the Zelda trophy description).

:Was just about to talk about this until you beat me to it. Not sure if anyone has seen [https://twitter.com/NintendoVS/status/1047018344212250625?s=19 this], nor am I certain if this helps close the case, but I thought it was worth posting here. <b>[[User:john3637881|<span style="color: black;">John</span>]]</b> [[File:John3637881 Signature.png|20px]] <b>[[User talk:John3637881|<span style="color: red;">HUAH!</span>]]</b> 22:34, 2 October 2018 (EDT)

== Newcomers for SSB Ultimate ==

In the Nintendo Power strategy guide for Melee, the names of every standard move are given. Many are consistent with the Ultimate counterparts given in the tips section (like Lead Headbutt, Electric Flower, Straight & Cannon Hammer, etc.), so I think we should add the names for moves that haven't changed from Melee to Ultimate. One argument I've seen is "Just to be safe/consistent, I'm removing these names for normals since none are mentioned in-game." I feel that it's more speculative to remove them for not being mentioned in game, since it hasn't been confirmed that they would all have changed names. Few moves have changed names though (like Meteor Knuckle, Jump Slash, etc.). If we were given the names in Melee, and many are still consistent, it's logical to add them back. After all, when Super Smash Bros for the Switch was announced, we didn't need official confirmation to know that Mario and Champion Link were in the game, their names weren't mentioned but the physical appearances were consistent.

== Why does no one check this page? ==

For being a talk page, people sure don't really talk. The last few topics brought up good points but since no one checks this page, they're never considered. I understand that this may be improper use of a talk page, but this is a big problem. [[User:Luigi86101|Luigi86101]] ([[User talk:Luigi86101|talk]]) 19:00, 26 February 2019 (EST)
