Topic	`````` Nominate SHEIK for CB11! #DownB
HaRRicH 08/02/21 10:07:51 AM #12:	Mac Arrowny posted... Yeah, nominating Sheik is stupid. bananor gives a good reason why. Next you'll want us to nominate Mr. L and Dr. Mario. If you want a good joke character you could at least pick something that's actually funny, like Dr. Goomba Tower. First of all, nothing's intended to be funny about nominating Sheik. She ain't the only Amiibo I own because of the lulz. To your philosophocal point though, here are two categories that blur together in my mind.... TEN VARIATIONS OF EXISTING CHARACTERS: Baby Rosalina Dark Link Dark Pit Dark Samus Devil Jin Dry Bowser Metal Mario Phantom Ganon Rose Gold Peach Toon Link TEN EXISTING CHARACTERS WITH DIFFERENT COSTUMES, TYPES, AND EFFECTS: Crossdressing Cloud Dr. Mario Giga Bowser Iroquois Pliskin Mariachi Raiden Mr. L Safer-Sephiroth Super Sonic Wolf Link Yellow Yoshi You and I agree Pliskin shouldn't make it in (though if you want to try out-nominating Solid Snake I support your right!) and we don't want duplicates overrunning our contests. I also think Sheik is different from these twenty other examples though. 1) Sheik convinced us she was someone else. Pliskin didn't. 2) Sheik made a better debut than anything Zelda did beforehand. Pliskin didn't ever outshine Snake. 3) Sheik has legitimate popularity outside of her original origin story. Pliskin doesn't. 4) Sheik is also more popular than Zelda in that outside source of popularity. And then separately, look at all these other SSB characters who got into the contest right after being announced -- not even playable yet, just announced. 2007: 5 contest newcomers debuted from Brawls hype. 2013: 3 contest newcomers debuted from SSB4s hype. 2018: 3 contest newcomers debuted from Ultimates hype. It appears the origins of these characters matter less here than if people are happy they are in Smash, and Sheik is a Smash-favorite. Pliskin ain't got that. It's time for Sheik. #DownB --- 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:956697733] in `````` Nom...
