Speaking of a Shantae Fighting Game...
It is actually something I've randomly come up with on a noon walk.

I guess Hyper Dragon Ball Z left some impression on me.
And before I knew it, I had an idea for a Shantae themed Mugen/Ikemen game.
One that focused on Half-Genie's as characters.

Of course, Shantae would be one of them. Duh!
But all the other Half-Genie characters from Seven Sirens would be characters as well.
Not only allowing them to shine at all, but also exploring new abilities and heights, fitting for their character.
And then I thought of a couple new Half-Genie characters. Raising the number of characters to around 8 to 10.

Like I said, a random idea that just so happened to pop up inside my head.
Thoughts? ^^;

...guess I should've waited one more page...
Heh s'ok. Well if there was a shantae fighting game, which would be awesome, I'd expect the other half-genies, but of course all the main characters and some bad guys too. It would be awesome. In the meantime maybe there's a few mugan characters, I dunno.

Congratulations everyone!

Not sure if I could see a full on Shantae fighting game though that would be interesting to consider. I remember suggesting an indie fighter that had Shantae, her friends and Risky in it.

...weird thought but I’ve been trying to think of possibilities for bizarre but fitting guest characters for my Sonic fighting game ideas, I wonder if she’d fit?

hey anything with shantae in it would be great ;p
Honsetly though, if they wanted to make a shantae fighting game, like, I'd give to a crowdfund or anything to see that happen, it would just be really great.
Does WF have any experience with fighting games? Well, there's a first time for everything XD

Congratulations guys!
Hopefully we don't have too many more pages to go before we see her dance through final destination...
Maybe she'll even bring Vee's cover of the opening song. :p

Isn't there a current fan Sonic fighting game already called Sonic Smackdown?

You think she’d get along with the Sonic cast? Despite the more MvC style gameplay, I want the characters to have Netherrealm style intro banter and I think she’d be able to take full advantage of that.

Shouldn't we technically wait for WF to finish their remaining 12 milestones first? Although they're probably stalling on those on purpose.
Lol. just hire more people to work :p Well I dunno how big they're getting, but if they're not working on a next shantae yet they dould just make that kind of spin off in the meantime :p

I mean, shantae's style is cartoony, so i dont think it would look that odd with sonic :) As for banter, yeah i guess that wouldnt be too hard for shantae? :p

Ah gotcha, would you go tranditional 2D fighter or an arena fighter similar to Sonic battle?
I actually really liked Sonic Battle. But it's definitely not traditional. I really liked the customizing aspect though. You dont see that too often. Arcana Heart had a small bit of choosing a few skills, but that's about it.

Chiming in to the fighting game discussion.

My idea was literally just a Mugen/Ikemen game, with Shantae and other Half-Genie's as characters.
Essentially the fan-made route that Hyper Dragon Ball Z took. ;)

I’d say it’d have similar gameplay to the MvC series/most of Arc Systems titles. I know it’s overdone but I feel like that style would fit the Sonic series so well.
If it's well done it would be neat to see. I guess with mugen it wouldnt be impossible to make one.
Might be overdone, but if something's tried and true, then why not.

My idea I think is if Sega wanted to make a great sonic fighting game they should do a Kirby Air Ride: City Trials without vehicles and it would be a huge city arena battle royale with characters speeding around looking for power ups (Emeralds, Rings, Shield Power ups, etc) and beating each other up.

I mean, the fighting mode in Sonic Adventure 2 kinda had that a little. I could see what you're saying though, and kirby air ride was fun, but still feels pretty different to a fighting game.

Oof, haha, that's a tough question. What does a half-genie think of fast snarky hedgehogs? :p (& friends)
