This article is about Impa's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Infinite. For other uses, see Impa
Smash Infinite flavor text
—Description from the Super Smash Blog.

Impa is Sheik's Echo Fighter and is classified as Fighter #16ε. She was revealed alongside Marin in a Nintendo Direct in August. Impa shares many similarities with Sheik but differs from her in attack properties.

Rei Shimoda, who voiced Impa in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, reprises her role in all versions of the game, recording brand-new lines for the character.

Attributes[]

Differences from Sheik[]

Impa shares the sane stats and attributes with Sheik, however, she has different effects to her Specials.

Moveset[]

Impa’sSpecial Moves
Standard Special Knife Storm
  Impa accumulates up to three knives and throws them forth at light speed similarly to Sheik's Needle Storm but half the projectiles. This variation uses knives instead of needles which is more in line with what Impa uses in her playable appearances. Knife Storm will also go through players and does more damage to shields taking inspiration from Sheik's second custom move for her neutral special, Penetrating Needles.
Side Special Flashbang
  This is a slower version of the Burst Grenade that Impa uses to her advantage. The difference in effect is also apparent, as she deals 9.5% damage as opposed to Sheik's 14.6%, but in turn, anyone facing the explosive will be immediately stunned, as though they were hit with Mewtwo's Disable. Being directly in the blast radius, meanwhile, will stun regardless of orientation. However, the stun doesn't affect airborne opponents, and being inside the blast will simply launch them. You would think she was using a Deku Nut on a trigger with this, and she just might be.
Up Special Vanish
 This would be very similar in function to Sheik’s but, instead of simply producing a cloud of smoke, it produces paper talismans that swirl about upon vanishing and reappearing.
Down Special Bouncing Fish

Taunts[]

  • Up Taunt: She slams her hand onto the ground which causes the SHeikah symbol to appear briefly under her.
  • Down Taunt: She waves her hand mysteriously in front of her which causes magic to pour out.
  • Right Taunt: She transforms into a Sage spirit state and moves about quickly before reforming. During this time, she can't be damaged. It's a reference to Impa's role as a Sage in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
  • Left Taunt: She sits down and patiently meditates before jumping back up; referencing her pose as her older self in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.

On-Screen Appearance[]

  • A Deku Nut drops down from the sky and as it explodes on the ground it reveals Impa in which she immediately throws her black cloak away and gets on a fighting pose.

Idle Poses[]

  • Wipes her brown while focusing.
  • Stands up straight and performs a magical sigil sign.

Victory Poses[]

  • She performs three flips before landing and vanishing in a puff of smoke.
  • She appears along with Skyward Sword Zelda. She realizes the "camera" is close by and shields Zelda by pushing her behind herself and stretching her arm to guard the princess.
  • She waves her cloak in front of her before turning to leave.

Classic Mode Route: Midnight Bout[]

Impa fights characters that relate to being stealthy fitting with her nature as a member of the Sheikah tribe. The stages will also be night-themed stages.
