I finally made it into Elite Smash

I felt like I must have been super close a bunch of times, but would stagnate just out of the cut-off. Got lucky and won four straight as Samus (who I hadn't used online yet) and that was enough to get me to 2,545,580.

I thought I didn't like playing Samus but maybe I've been wrong this whole time.

But elite Elite Smash is per character right?

yeah

it's actually a little annoying now, because it defaults to elite Smash and pops up a little message whenever I choose someone other than Samus

Sheik is the only Smash-snub who has been playable in every Smash-game since Melee, and I know a great way to fix this injustice: nominate Sheik!

or has she not been snubbed at all because she's Zelda

you could have been voting for Sheik this whole time if you'd just let go

Do you have an opinion on how Ultimate treats playable characters with spirits? Because Sheik does get posessed by multiple pre-set spirits in the single player mode and players can later customize her spirits too.

I think in the plot of the adventure mode the spirit-possessed characters you fight are technically clones of the original characters created by Galeem.

Last year in particular, calling a game that barely worked better than incredible feats like Breath of the Wild, Nier Automata, and Mario Odyssey seems insane. But did it mean more to the site? Absolutely.

PUBG was a legitimate cultural phenomenon. Considering how it started the Battle Royale wave that gave us Fortnite and a bunch of others it's probably the actual most significant game released last year.
I like those other games you mentioned more, but I think there's definitely merit to giving PUBG the award in a sort of Time Man of the Year way.

but it's like if Bruce Wayne existed in comics for thirty years just being Bruce Wayne and then there was year in those thirty years where he dressed up as Batman.

Sheik's been relevant for twenty of those thirty years, thanks to Smash. LoZ:OoT was only most relevant to Sheik's fanbase when that was Sheik's only game from 1998 to 2001. Zelda has had her own adventures in the LoZ-series since then, but Sheik hasn't been rusting away either -- she continues to be awesome by her own merits in a different series.

sure, but she still appears as Sheik way fewer times than she appears as just Zelda, so including her in the contest as Sheik is a worse way to represent the overall character

because they're the same character. Even if it doesn't come through in the gameplay anymore, there's still theoretically a princess hiding under Smash Sheik's ninja costume

Also though, to me it's like Bruce Wayne has been in comic book contests since 2003 and people insist Batman can't be represented because Bruce Wayne has been here. Why wouldn't you include Batman?! Batman's awesome and has been for years! We have an inclusive solution where both of them can be featured, and if there's no inertia toward allowing Batman to be seen by normal means then we'll work extra hard to out-nominate Bruce and be done with it.

but it's like if Bruce Wayne existed in comics for thirty years just being Bruce Wayne and then there was year in those thirty years where he dressed up as Batman. It's a small part of who Zelda is compared to Bruce/Batman.

getting Sheik in the contest instead of Zelda is like getting Nomad in a contest instead of Captain America

Except the line is much closer and blurred with Batman and Bruce. For example, it's not uncommon for Bruce to start going Batman on peeps while still Bruce Wayne. Bruce and Batman aren't so far away from each other. Sheik and Zelda have a much more clear defining line. Batman and Bruce are much more Bruce in Costume. Meanwhile Sheik is a very different character than Zelda.

aside from the aesthetics are Zelda and Sheik even that different in OoT? Their practical purpose is just to teach Link songs to help defeat Ganondorf. They have identical goals.

also playboy Bruce is the costume, Batman is the actual personality there

I think just Sheik and no Zelda in the contest is the worst option. Sheik is only one very specific part of Zelda, while Zelda is all parts of Zelda including Sheik. It's a less inclusive way to represent the character.

Sheik is more separated from Zelda than any of those Links are to Link.

"separated" in what sense? Wolf Link and Sheik seem like the same situation to me. They're both magically altered versions of a character that look and play differently. Fierce Diety and the other MM Links are even more of a separate character because it's like a DBZ fusion with some other being's soul.

But Sheik is a good bit more than Zelda in a costume. It's a whole different persona. Sheik doesn't look, act, or sound like Zelda. Zelda doesn't look, act, or sound like Sheik. The whole point of Sheik was to not be Zelda.

sure. Zelda is Bruce Wayne, Sheik is Batman. I don't think there would be a lot of support for having Bruce Wayne and Batman as separate entants in a comics character contest .

Allowing Sheik doesn't mean allowing Crossdressing Cloud or Yellow Yoshi. Sheik is plenty unique to consider separately, and if SB is that afraid he can put her in the same division as Zelda to nullify the risk of a takeover (though he didn't do that for Siegfried and Nightmare in 2008 and let them team up in 2011).

I'm not worried about Crossdressing Cloud, I'm worried about Wolf Link and Fierce Diety Link. Maybe even Toon Link if we're using separate slots on the Smash character select screen to justify Sheik.

we don't need more Links

For your BK_Sheikah00.

How clear was it from the beginning Nightmare and Siegfried were separate entities?

I'm not sure, but I don't think it's relevant either way. By the time they both were in the contest they were established as separate, so there's not a precedent there in Sheik's favor.

The fact that Siegfried/Nightmare were allowed after SC3 when they separated feels like a point in Sheik's favor now that Sheik has separated from Zelda, and any Smash player will immediately recognize the multiple differences between them.

The difference is Nightmare and Siegfried were seperated within the lore of their series, not just on a fighter select screen. There's stil no canonical Sheik who isn't Zelda in a costume.

Hopefully Smash/Hyrule Warriors are enough for them to be considered separate.

the Sheik in Hyrule Warriors doesn't help the argument, she's definitely Zelda in that game like in OoT.

At least Kupo has class and doesn't MESSAGE the people -Dr Pizza

oh I see you addressed that a little earlier

Nightmare was once considered to be Siegfried, but they entirely separated in Soul Calibur 3 = Sheik was once considered to be Zelda, but they entirely separated in SSB4.

Zero Suit Samus was separated from normal Samus too, that doesn't make them different characters. Nightmare and Siegfried actually exist as different beings within the SC story.

1) Nightmare is a form of Siegfried = Sheik is a form of Zelda. <-- Ancient Minister is a form of R.O.B., sure I guess.

I don't think this comparison holds up. Nightmare is an entity that inhabited Siegfried's body, not an alternate personality of Siegfried. Nightmare has had non-Siegfried hosts as far back as SC III which was before the two appeared in a contest together

https://soulcalibur.fandom.com/wiki/Nightmare

on the other hand, Sheik is just Zelda in a different outfit. She doesn't exist as a separate entity.

I am really curious as to what @Mr_Lasastryke considers human rights violation and how he think Israel can avoid this
If anything, Israel trying so hard to NOT violate human rights is what Hamas is taking advantage of
Shooting rockets out of mosques and near hospital because they know Israel will never return fire there

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_Israeli_shelling_of_UNRWA_Gaza_shelters

like this seems bad

A Human Rights Watch investigation into three of the incidents concluded that Israel committed war crimes because two of the shellings "did not appear to target a military objective or were otherwise indiscriminate

it doesn't seem like Israel tried too hard here

So it seems like most Leftists don't want Israel to exist (at least at the capacity it currently has). Yet, the vast majority of Jews vote Democrat.

This is still one of the strangest voting patterns that I'll never quite understand. Maybe the Self-Hating Jew is a real thing politically?

the general Democratic Party is in favor of Israel, I think. It's mostly the farthest left people that take issue with it

and again, it has nothing to do with antisemitism. Not liking Isreal's treatment of Palestinians doesn't mean not liking Jews in general.

but would using the power to stop that guy not also be enough power to destroy a quintillian omniverses or whatever

can they somehow precisely target their omniverse destruction powers to not accidentally destroy the omniverse at the same time? How do you even aim power at a concept like a universe?
