Joker and Sephiroth gain Arsene/One-Winged Angel only after certain criteria, whether that's damage received or damage dealt, among other nominal factors. Examples like Pyra and Mythra simply switch with down-special, but it seems one of these characters is showing as clearly superior to the other. In terms of competitive play, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's latest DLC character may emulate how Zelda/Sheik was in Super Smash Bros. Pyra/Mythra Almost Emulates Melee's Zelda/Sheik Ultimate Director Sakurai Reveals How DLC Trailers Are Made Melee, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. In casual play, which is obviously the majority of playtime spent in Super Smash Bros., players may have never noticed just how much better Sheik was compared to Zelda.
Conceptually, the two characters are supposed to complement each other in terms of capability. Zelda would be a strong zoner-style character, while Sheik could build damage up close using combos. Some may not have even know players could swap between Zelda and Sheik at the time, but competitive players are absolutely well aware of that capability. There's a reason why players select Zelda and hold down the A button when matches start: Sheik is infinitely better than Zelda in competitive play. Very early on players learned that, despite being significantly faster than Zelda, Sheik was also just as powerful. In some cases, aerial attacks like forward air in particular, Sheik was notably stronger than Zelda. While the competitive meta had to shake out a bit for characters like Falco and Captain Falcon, Sheik ended up higher in the meta early like Marth. Fast and strong frame data, chain-grabs and guaranteed follow-ups on nearly all characters, and overall an incredibly strong presence in neutral. Players would be hard-pressed to find any "Zelda-only" competitor in Super Smash Bros.

In a similar scenario, Pyra and Mythra are Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's newest "stance" characters, but Mythra is clearly the standout choice. Ultimate's overall balance is more even across the board, so it's not necessarily as disparate as Zelda/Sheik, but Pyra/Mythra aren't exactly a ying-yang relationship. Conceptually speaking, Mythra is designed for fast and quick combos to build up percent, while Pyra is a bit slower but much stronger when she hits. However, in practice, Mythra is all that and more. She's capable of racking up damage with her quick frame data, but is also plenty capable of knocking out opponents just as well as Pyra.
