Topic	`````` Nominate SHEIK for CB11! #DownB
HaRRicH 12/28/18 12:55:13 PM #59:	Dels posted... Sure, Sheik has a different name, but if the character was called "Disguised Zelda" instead, would you have any case? If Zero Suit Samus was suddenly called "Zero Hunter" as an alias instead, would that make her any more of a different entity? Sheik's success was more than a name -- players were effectively convinced Sheik was not Zelda through the majority of LoZ:OoT, then Nintendo honored those separate identities and character traits by first of all including her when they never added the likes of Tetra, then they went further by separating them mechanically in Smash. Zero Hunter would help Samus's case in my book but not really in a big way. Metroid's original spoiler was ~~Samus is a woman~~ and they've kept with that for thirty years. ZSS's appearances in the Metroid series never intended to surprise players with a different identity, so Sheik is different in that way. --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/ssb/images/0/0d/Sheik-Victory3-SSB4.png <cite>HaRRicH posted [p:914828377] in `````` Nom...
