sheiks katana as a weapon?

[h1roshi]

well, as i was looking at her update, i realized that she has a sheath for a short katana on her back. could this possibly mean that maybe she utilizes a katana maybe for like one or two attacks? maybe more?...peace

i think it´d be nice to use it as a Fsmash or tapA or something like that

That sheath is way too small for it to be a katana. If anything it is for a small dagger, but Id bet most on that it is where all her needles are kept.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I think it's a Kodachi, not a Katana

 

[NeoZ]

It's too short to be a katana, way too short.
It might be a kodachi, but due to length I'd rather say it's a tantō.

 

[peach-man]

thats the dagger she got from Impa... so it won't really hold needles, too...
it would be cool if she would use it to stab foes when she grabs them ^^

 

[Dreamking]

She used a knife in the official artwork where she and Link are surrounded by enemies as well as in the manga.

 

[skullkidd]

aren't these types of weapons banned for smash games?

 

[LaniusShrike]

I was under the same impression as you, skullkidd. I think a lot of cultures view knives as being more violent than swords, as swords in the game basically act like giant thin bats, while a dagger is very much stabby-stabby. I'd think that if Sheik threw it instead of shanked with it, it might seem more acceptable- though that's hardly a throwing dagger. Naw, it's probably just there to emphasize "I'ma ninja." Like C. Falcon's gun "I'ma bounty hunter."

 

[Katakiri]

The knife is more than likely used for her Dash Attack. In melee she kind of sliced the air with her hands, so using a knife for that would make much more sense.

 

[freeman123]

That's not a katana, it's a dagger. And I think it's just for show.

 

[sheikattack]

It's most likely for display only, and even if it is a part of an attack it won't be a critical part of her moveset, imo.

 

[Bluerockworld]

Oh yes and Capitan Falcon's gun is used all the time....seriously

 

[NeoZ]

I know some weapons are banned from smash, but I only remember guns being mentioned.
Does someone have a link to where they said something about knives/daggers(considering Pit uses them)?

 

[Polostick]

that is where she keeps her chain and needles

and why were u lookin down there?

 

[Micahc]

I think it'd be pretty tight for a grab attack...

 

[R.Y.N.O]

Funny... I'd like to ask you the same thing. I don't think knives are "Smash Appropriate." I think it is just for looks like C.F.'s gun.

 

[KageJuin]

well..it's not a katana...it's a ninjato...a small ninja shortsword lol

 

[Spudnick]

I think that would be a cool, but doubtful addition to her attacks. However, I can see it being maybe her dash attack, a quick upward slice with it maybe.

^^^lol, slow pc XD
anyway, if the shortsword WILL be used, it will probably be used for damage strikes when holding a foe, or as a dash attack, as stated before. the second is doubtfull though, as her attacks are already very well-balanced.

 

[Greenpoe]

Sheik won't use a knife. Sakurai really wanted to make Snake use a knife, but feared offending certain people, so Sheik won't either. It's just for display.

 

[muesli]

Sry but I need to correct you, it is a Wakizashi, too small for a Katana, mmh never mind.

Back to topic: I think it's only an accessory like Ganons sword you see after he wons a match or by using AR to see it ingame.

i have got this poster hanging from my walls since the legend of zelda, ocarina of time came out....

 

[KageJuin]

it's a freaking NINJATO ****it!!! not a wakizashi..that would be too long!! ****it..read please

 

[Ztarfish]

Yeah I think that it's for aesthetic purposes only, as it is very dagger-like, and shanking is generally unaccepted in E for Everyone games. Plus it's weird to only have it used for one or two attacks. for more than that, sure, but how many moves can you do with a dagger without stabbing?

 

[kainsword]

I think it's a Kodachi, not a Katana

Correct.

It is indeed a Kodachi. I wonder if it just is just merely for decoration. For example, Captain Falcon has always had a a freaking pistol in his holster, yet he never used it. The Kodachi won't nearly be as great as Captain Falcon's 3-HeadShot Kill Pistol, stolen from Halo 1. I mean, seriously, everyone would start tripping balls as soon as Captain Falcon pulls out his gun.

 

[100links]

jesus christ people its just a pointy stabby thingy for the love of god...

 

[PyroRyuken]

I think it would be pretty cool. Having a weapon may change some of her attacks slightly, giving her a new feel.

 

[KageJuin]

darnit..please read this post..before being ignorant and arrogant..this is a ninjato...a ninja sword, wich is like a wakizashi, but straighter and small...and used to be mounted on the ninja';s back like sheik and impa have it (please check impa's official art)

seriously..freaking n00b***s

Dude. Shut up. It's a ****ing pointy thing. Whether it's a sword, a dagger, a wakazashi, a ninjato, or my **** doesn't really matter. That isn't what the thread's about. So quit trying to show off your "ninja" knowledge to make up for your virginity and either say something of value or get the hell out.

 

[S2]

Maybe in TP she was supposed to have a dagger. Guess we'll never know.

 

[Polostick]

WHY ARE YOU GUYS LOOKIN DOWN THERE?

and again like i said on the first page chains and nedles.

when i first saw the update i didn't nitice it cause i was lookin at her metal tip at the end of her pony tail. i wasn't lookin at her *ss.

I wasn't looking at her ***, I was comparing her original clothes to her new TP ones

and it would be nice if she used it once in a while to slice in her combo or in some of her smashes..or in her areal moves
