Slight problem, Sakurai would more likely go with Male Byleth as the default.
Ayumi Tachibana said:Sakurai used kanji 忍 which means ninja.
The grammar isn't off but still sounds weird and pretty distinctive in that context. You don't normally use this verb.
Ayumi Tachibana said:The part "I had endured" correspond to the kanji 忍. The translation should be "I was hiding/sneaking" in that context.
Ayumi Tachibana said:I don't think so because the kanji 忍 has a specific meaning which is ninja.SKX31 said:If that's the case then that not only helps Hayabusa, but also any character whose main job is sneaking. Tracer (really), Ezio / AC rep, etc.
It's a bit to vague to call one way or the other IMHO.
Sakurai used verb 忍んでいた, but this a bit unusual choice of word when you can use more normal verbs such as 潜んでいた or 隠れていた like he did in the How to Use Banjo video where he pulled out Snake's amiibo who was hiding in a bush. You only use verb 忍ぶ when you imply something ninja-like situation or just trying to sound edgy.
Maybe Sakurai just wanted to sound edgy because he's a big dork
Are some people seriously going with the "default isn't female so it's not a female character" rhetoric for Byleth? Come on now
Watch out. Nintendo UK is promoting Fortnite Chapter 2 on their homepage!
I don't think this solves the puzzleWanna know what's an argument I haven't seen in a while?
Does Shiek count as a female fighter?
He's a male you cowards, Zelda wouldn't use magic to change her race and eye color but then also improvise an uncomfortable binder. Bill Trinen doesn't know what he's talking about.

The Hyrule Historia also refers to Shiek as male, but sure fair enough. Hyrule Warriors in particular is clearly a female design, I won't argue there.Sheik is referred to as female in basically every other source outside of OoT. The only Sheik that was the OoT design in Smash was Melee's, where she also was referred to as female. I would say that you can make a case for OoT Sheik being male, but the other incarnations that were explicitly created for Smash - and Hyrule Warriors - are female, and her physique also is more feminized as a result.

Make it happen Sakurai
There's also the new question, is Ultimate Sheik intended to be Zelda or an actual Sheikah? Perhaps there's text somewhere that hints that it's still Zelda.Funnily enough we're back to it being ambiguous with Ultimate Sheik, because she's based on the costume from BotW, and also has a more masculine looking chest.
I'd imagine so. These guys did it with the intention to call Blizzard on their hypocracy and show support to Blitzchung and support the protests.Definitely not China that influenced that decision either, I'm sure.

Barring reinstating Blitzchung there wasn't anyway for Blizzard to win here. If they didn't punish them then the punishement on Blitzchung was insanely hypocritical and if they did then it further Blizz's new anti human rights image. If anything the team more or less got exactly what they wanted
I've got to admit, if it does end up happening, most of my Ninja Gaiden experience is with the 2004 game, but I imagine Sakurai is probably going to focus more on the NES games (with a few '04 and DOA moves for good measure). As for the song list, what would be the obvious picks for music from the original games?
The one song I do know off the top of my head is:
Which has so much potential for a new Smash remix.
There's no I in Sheik.
I wasn't entirely serious, but those are all good characters so I wouldn't be mad. I would give it to Edelgard or Claude though.I am not a Fire Emblem hater, I loved Robin and Lucina, but I think 5 Fire Emblem characters from one game might be pushing it. Also, after Corrin, I'm kind of meh on the concept of the default version of avatar characters. Edelgard deserves it the most. We need a Fire Emblem "villain" playable.
Daemon X Machina's five Direct spotlights were all leading up to four spirits in Smash!Nintendo's entire business revolves around Smash so this must be a sign.
