Topic	`````` Nominate SHEIK for CB11! #DownB
HaRRicH 12/05/21 2:30:29 PM #11:	Here are two categories that blur together..... TWELVE VARIATIONS OF EXISTING CHARACTERS, STAND-ALONE OR OTHERWISE: Baby Rosalina Dark Link Dark Pit Dark Samus Devil Jin Dry Bowser Evil Ryu Meta Ridley Metal Mario Phantom Ganon Rose Gold Peach Toon Link TWELVE EXISTING CHARACTERS WITH DIFFERENT COSTUMES, TYPES, AND EFFECTS: Crossdressing Cloud Dr. Mario Giga Bowser Iroquois Pliskin Jaycee Mariachi Raiden Mr. L Safer-Sephiroth Super Sonic Wolf Link Yellow Yoshi Zero Suit Samus Here are twenty-four characters that, more or less, we mostly agree shouldn't be in a contest. You may have your exceptions, but the point is we have a fear of our contests being overrun by duplicates who only have fans because of their more popular sources. That fear is justified, but Sheik is not the same as them. First of all, since Smash is why this rally began, Sheik is the more popular character when it comes to Smash -- get out of the way Zelda! It's also worth noting Sheik did something these other characters failed to do: she convinced us she was different. She has an identity that was unique enough for us to take seriously on its own merits for the majority of her first game. Sheik's personality had us sold compared to these other personalities listed above. We saw Cloud go into the dressing room. Snake almost gave his name away, allowing us to catch his near-mistake. Julia Chang's moveset was similar and her initials were her new name. Luigi was brainwashed after previously playing as him -- you get the gist. Meanwhile, in this important moment of gaming history, Sheik was immediately cooler than Zelda ever was before 1998 and we didn't know the spoiler until nearly the end of the game. So now we're supposed to say Sheik -- whose debut was better received than anything Zelda did previously and who is consistently out-tiering Zelda in another genre ever since -- we're supposed to say Sheik is not allowed because Zelda's here? Nah. Sheik is the good stuff, not Zelda. Sheik and Zelda are different enough from most duplicates and Sheik has more legitimate support than any duplicate. Release her from Zelda's shadow and nominate Sheik! #DownB --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://imgur.com/OpudFxm <cite>HaRRicH posted [p:960645181] in `````` Nom...
