Sheik returns in Smash Bros. Brawl

by Scott Jon Siegel on Jan 16th 2008 8:03AM

Gamers concerned that their favorite gender-confused Zelda alter-ego would be absent from Brawl have absolutely nothing to worry about. The Hyrulian princess's down-special move will still transform her into Sheik, now re-imagined to match the visual style of Twilight Princess.

According to the official Smash Bros. Brawl blog, Sheik's look is based on an early design drafted during development of Twilight Princess, meaning that at one point Sheik was a shoe-in for Link's grittiest adventure to date. Sheik appears to retain the needle storm, chain, and vanishing moves from Melee, and shares the "Light Arrow" Final Smash with Zelda.

Is there anyone who ISN'T in this fucking game?

Chuck Norris.................for now

well i cant wait until they announce falco, have the fastest metoer strike, falco has to come, im just wondering what hell look like hmmm...?!?

Hmm.. I note that everyone from a previous game that hasn't been announced yet was an unlockable in at least one previous game.

Wild shot in the dark here, but I don't think we'll see any announcement about returning characters from now on. Though an announcement about a new character isn't totally unheard of.

The best would be an assist trophy of the Duck Hunt dog. It comes out, knocks your opponent out, and then points and laughs.

How about we just finish the current game and not have 10 more delays?

I can't help but find the irony in it when Nintendo fans say "Delaystation 3".
