:In regards to Sheik, however, given how [[Dark Samus (SSBU)|inconsistent]] the Smash Blog seems to be, I think that it's very likely that this was an error, and that it will be fixed later; this is just speculation on my part, and we could very well see something consistent later.

::Given the earlier mention that one of Zelda's trophies in ''Smash 4'' refers to Sheik as a "young man" (and the avoidance of any pronouns in Sheik's tips), it's likely that NoA uses masculine pronouns when they're trying to hide that Sheik is Zelda, and feminine pronouns when they're not. For what it's worth, although Japanese ''does'' have gendered pronouns, it's very easy and natural to write while avoiding them entirely (this also happened with [[Sukapon]]'s Smash Blog entry). I doubt that it'll be changed, though, and the final game will probably use the same guidelines as ''Smash 4''.

:::I'm belaboring a point here, but the line from the trophy description is that Zelda "takes on the guise of a young man named Sheik." This is not hiding anything, it is explicitly stating that Sheik is a male persona used as a disguise by Zelda. You can say that the in-universe character of Sheik as acted by Zelda in OoT is male. You cannot say the out-of-universe Nintendo character called Sheik is male, since she is just Zelda in diguise, and no official material has ever been inconsistent on this point.

::Official references to Sheik as male were also a one-time thing, within the script and promotional materials of OoT itself, and never again after that. As I said, what people cite as recent official references to Sheik as male are entirely misconstrued references to the male ''persona'' of Sheik as acted out by Zelda in OoT (such as the Zelda trophy description).

The fact that the official posts have all been using she pronouns aside from one case makes it clear the outlier is the error, especially when we have consistent precedent since 2001.

Sheik is most likely still female (although there are theories that Zelda changes gender when transforming), but is often referred to as male due to the majority of in-game characters thinking that Sheik is male. [[User:ProLink|ProLink]] ([[User talk:ProLink|talk]]) 09:08, 20 December 2018 (EST)
people in the game think Sheik is male, like pit. and people in the real world think "he" is male, "he" is in quotation marks because Sheik is female because sheik is Zelda in disguise, also I never saw theory like that prolink. --[[Special:Contributions/98.127.69.195|98.127.69.195]] 00:40, May 27, 2019 (EDT)

== Names of regular attacks --
== Names of regular attacks ==
 
The tips section of Ultimate provides the name of some standard attacks, such as Lead Headbutt for Mario's up smash and Tornado Kick for Fox's forward aerial. Is it worth adding these to the name section of the movesets in Smash 4's character pages or in Ultimate's, if they will be added eventually?

== Challenger's Approach ==
 
I believe that "Challenger's Approach" should be added to the "Menu and UI changes" section as a new gameplay mode(?). Unless there's another place this could be put in. [[User:ChefLaur|ChefLaur]] ([[User talk:ChefLaur|talk]]) 08:54, 17 December 2018 (EST)

== Additional info for perfect shields ==
 
I think the info that after a perfect shield, the attacker suffers 3 more frames of lag then the perfect shielding player should be added to the Paragraph about perfect shield changes from SSB4. I would add this myself if the page wasn't protected.

== Names of standard attacks ==
 
In the Nintendo Power strategy guide for Melee, the names of every standard move are given. Many are consistent with the Ultimate counterparts given in the tips section (like Lead Headbutt, Electric Flower, Straight & Cannon Hammer, etc.), so I think we should add the names for moves that haven't changed from Melee to Ultimate. One argument I've seen is "Just to be safe/consistent, I'm removing these names for normals since none are mentioned in-game." I feel that it's more speculative to remove them for not being mentioned in game, since it hasn't been confirmed that they would all have changed names. Few moves have changed names though (like Meteor Knuckle, Jump Slash, etc.). If we were given the names in Melee, and many are still consistent, it's logical to add them back. After all, when Super Smash Bros for the Switch was announced, we didn't need official confirmation to know that Mario and Champion Link were in the game, their names weren't mentioned but the physical appearances were consistent.

:(This is the same person) Additionally, Smash Wiki is not official and it's against the rules to remove a term for not being official, not to mention that these terms even ''are'' official. [[User:Luigi86101|Luigi86101]] ([[User talk:Luigi86101|talk]]) 20:35, 8 March 2019 (EST)
 
== Why does no one check this page? ==
 
For being a talk page, people sure don't really talk. The last few topics brought up good points but since no one checks this page, they're never considered.

The tips section of Ultimate provides the name of some standard attacks, such as Lead Headbutt for Mario's up smash and Tornado Kick for Fox's forward aerial. Is it worth adding these to the name section of the movesets in Smash 4's character pages or in Ultimate's, if they will be added eventually?
== Character artwork ==
I distinctly remember this section had official artwork of the Mother 3 cast. Anyone know what happened to it? I know M3 was Japan only but it still makes sense to have various franchises represented in this section, since it is about Ultimate and the EarthBound series is growing in popularity. Why exactly was it removed? Or was it actually unofficial artwork?[[User: supatoad64|<span style="color:blue;"> '''SupaToad64''' </span>]] [[ Image: Supatoad64Sig.jpg|20px ]] 00:15, June 9, 2019 (EDT)

::::I see now thanks for pointing that out. I didn't notice the section was focusing on the countdown (I just recently joined, which kinda explains why my original sig image was huge).
