Talk:Sheik/Archive 1

I don't see why we have a picture that says "Zelda" on it in the Sheik article. --ycz12

That was the old picture when this page was for both Zelda and Sheik. We need to get new pictures for all of the characters, but if you'd like to start, you're welcome to do so. --Kirby King 01:24, August 4, 2006 (GMT)

I was thinking about doing that myself. I'll see if I'm not as busy as I have been this weekend and try to get a decient start on it. Oddeven2002 22:04, September 5, 2006 (GMT)

I added a new pic, but it's more of a temp pic. I put it there until a better one is found. --Respawn 08:46 P.M., Oct 31, 2006 (EST)

REDRAGON is editing adjective and reversing it ex. "Sheik is the easiest character to play well," to his verson "Sheik is the HARDEST character to play well, harder than Falco." And this isnt his opinion, Ive looked over the whole article. - Marthsword 19:47, March 16, 2007 (GMT)

Confirmed For Brawl

http://wii.live-360.net/wii/sheik-confirmed-for-brawl-and-more/ And if that's not enough, the site also includes a source itself. Magiciandude 12:49, January 11, 2008 (EST)

Oh, right. Then say something that contrary to pop belief Roy appears in FE7, even if it isn't relevant to Sheik. Maybe put it in the <!-- Hidden messages --> --RoyboyX Talk 17:55, 6 October 2011 (EDT)

Done. ReiDemon 18:02, 6 October 2011 (EDT)

New Artwork of Sheik

The concept art of Sheik from Twilight Princess, which is the source of Sheik's design in Brawl, has finally been published by Nintendo. [1]

Thank you for this information. :) Unknown the Hedgehog 23:15, 3 February 2012 (EST)

Combo ability?

The page claims that Sheik has great combo ability in Brawl, but I read somewhere else (don't remember where) on this wiki that it is impossible to combo in Brawl. Which one is correct? Accoolx (talk) 16:21, 3 March 2012 (EST)

It is possible to combo in Brawl through the use of hitstun. Sheik has the neutral attack capabilities and the follow up tatics. People will say that Brawl has less combos than Melee, but that does not mean Brawl has 0 combos. MegaTron1XD 16:28, 3 March 2012 (EST)

Thank you. Come to think of it, I think I read it just on a talkpage, so... Accoolx (talk) 18:00, 3 March 2012 (EST)

Ocarina of Time 3D

It says that sheik only appeared in one game. Did she appear in OoT3D? I don't know. I don't own that game. But If she does than this should be fixed. ChuckNorris 10:55, 11 July 2012 (EDT)

As OoT3D is an exact remake of the original game, Sheik isn't really considered to have appeared in more than one game. Literally, Sheik has been in more than one game, but in terms of game story, timeline placement and such, Sheik only has a place in one. Toast ltimatum 11:17, 11 July 2012 (EDT)

That makes sense. Thanks. ChuckNorris 11:25, 11 July 2012 (EDT)

Peach the Top Tier Female

The latest tier list says Peach is top tier so the info that Sheik is the only Top Tier female is false. --TheLegendaryKRB (talk) 11:00, 20 December 2013 (EST)

Profile image

File:Sheikartwork.jpg

Left Image: Twilight Princess design
Right Image: Twilight Princess design

Which do you think should be used for her profile default image? I personally think we need to go with her Twilight Princess design for her profile image as its the one that matches her current appearance in smash. Going with her OoT design just densest make sense, since her OoT appearance hasn't been in Smash Bros. since Melee. It creates inconsistency by referring too her OoT appearance as her main profile image when she doesn't even use it in the Smash Bros. games anymore. It's her most current, and most used, design in the Smash series so I feel its a better fit than her one-time OoT appearance.
Ixbran (talk) 18:17, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

Here's the thing. The "Twilight Princess" artwork was made especially for Brawl. In the main image, we always use a non-Smash image. The "Twilight Princess" image may be newer, but it was only made for Brawl. They didn't make it for Twilight Princess. ChuckNorris 19:39, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

CN24, you're incorrect. The Brawl/SSB4 design was based on pre-existing concept art for Twilight Princess that wasn't used in that game; it wasn't designed explicitly for Smash. Check Hyrule Historia, or Sakurai's quote: "Sheik doesn’t appear in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but we based her model on a design that was drafted up during the development of that game." Miles (talk) 19:44, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

Yup. I dun goofed. However, I still think it would be better to use actual official artwork rather than concept artwork of a game she didn't appear in. ChuckNorris 19:50, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

Exactly what Miles. Had Sheiks TP design really been made specifically for smash, the quote would have been along the lines of "Sheik doesn’t appear in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, but we based her model on designs of the other Zelda characters during the development of this game.". And even if it was made just for Smash, why would that even matter in regards to her default picture? Sure we may not use smash artworks for a characters default image, but if that's all we had, why wouldn't we use it? Again, Sheik hasn't appeared in a SSB game in her OoT design since Melee, so theirs no reason to use it since it doesn't match her current appearance. It would be like using a picture of Skyward Sword Zelda for her default picture, over her TP design. Its not the version that's used in game, but still her latest (and i use that word loosely) official Zelda series design. It's just aesthetically better to go with Sheiks TP design, as it fits the theme of the default image of the main character profile matching their current SSB design, as well as matching the other Zelda characters who use their Twilight Princess looks over their others.
Ixbran (talk) 19:55, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

The OoT design isn't obsolete by any means. The TP design barely changed anything, other than making it a tad more gritty. I just think the OoT design is more aesthetically pleasing. Also, I think it makes more sense to have the main image be from a game that she actually is featured in. ChuckNorris 20:03, 22 April 2014 (EDT)

Again, I reiterate, smash character profile images are meant to represent their current Smash Bros. appearance. SSB4, and Brawl, went with her unused TP design, so its best to stick with that one. And, again, her OoT design hasn't been used since Melee, so theirs no point in using the OoT design since it doesn't match her current Smash appearance.
