Somewhat technical question regarding Z/S's mechanics

[LBK! of CIC]

Does the game consider Zelda and Sheik different objects?

If so, at what point during the Down-B transformation does it switch? (Frame data would be wonderful, if applicable)

If not, does it simply rewrite the character attributes when the character change occurs?

It switches when the stocks change (when the face changes from Zelda to Sheik or vice versa).

That's really helpful. Thanks.

It's just two objects, right? Sheik and Zelda? there's no in-between?

As far as I know there is no Zelda/Sheik hybrid. It's either Zelda or Sheik. Not a mixture of the two.

There is a certain frame in the transform (Down-b) when you switch from one to the other. If you get hit, or die, or otherwise interrupted during this transformation, you will stay which ever for you were before being interrupted. There is no in-between, and you are always exactly one of the two. Sheik and Zelda are two character objects, as unique as Doc and Mario, in terms of movesets and rendering.

A hybrid Sheik/Zelda would be scary as ****.Especially if she/he glowed white like in the transformation time.

there is a frame or 2 where u dont exist. You actually blink out and ALL attacks go right through you. I shwed it in one of my vids vs samus' charged shot. It goes right thru her during the transform

maybe theres an action replay code to halt the transformation halfway for Zeldeik.
