Shantae, the Half Genie Protector of Scuttle Town! (A Switch To A New WayForward)

[meleebrawler]

What I've been doing is thinking up themed team matches I'd want to do, sort of like when I did Century Smash to commemorate Min-Min and ARMS's 1-v-100 mode.

Shantae, & vs. , & on stage morph between Shantae's stage and Norfair: Metroidvania Melee

The same team vs. , & on Temple: Dungeon Derby

Shantae, & vs. or , & on Pokemon Stadium: Two Generations of Pocket Monsters

Shantae, & vs. , & on Delfino Plaza: Game Boy & Console Originals.

Just that it's supposed to be sometime in September.

I'm predicting mid-September myself.

 

[3D Dillon]

I've checked on SSBU today and no weeky spirit/tourney event has been announced. By Late Tuesday/Wednesday, they should always be revealed before premiering on Late Thursday/Friday. This may be a sign that we may have a fighter reveal soon. Either that or they're taking a break from doing an event every week.

Ugh, I hate the the LE for the repo cart is so much better than the Switch version. I have no real purpose to buy the reproduction and I really want the physical Switch version. Bit of a bummer really.

Same, I would've bought the switch version if it had as much stuff.
Right now thinking I won't get anything :/ But it's still nice to see.

(if I wouldnt be trying to save money, i'd get some of them tho ;p)

That's great news! But holy cow, $64.99-$74.99 is a lot!

On the other hand, I can't imagine how much scalpers will price their copies on ebay. Best get them while the price is right.

[SoupCanMafia]

The $45 price tag, while to some extent makes sense with antiquated technologies like GBC-Repo carts, is a bit steep for my liking unfortunately. If I had more money, I would absolutely do that, though for now, I am satisfied enough with my N3DS copy.

At least it's better than paying hundreds of bucks for a original copy.

I was more interested in just picking up the physical copies for Switch but that special edition for the reproduction cart is hella tempting...

 

[Dukefire]

Well, the Mario 35th anniversary direct has arrived.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Mario and Shantae news on the same day? What are the odds?

Anyway, I was expecting the box art for the GBC Shantae release to be a plain re-print, but I'm glad to see that they're putting good use out of the newer main illustration.

 

[Teeb147]

I mean, things are moving along, some of the news we were expecting is showing up. Now what about news we don't know about next

Smash stuff is sure to happen sometime this month. When, we don't know, but apart from the mention in the Mario Direct, we strangely didn't get any sort of Smash events this week, spirit boards, tournaments or otherwise.

The announced a Mario themed tournament during the Direct for Smash Bros, so they were just holding off on the announcement for the Direct.

There will be an ingame tournament for Smash Ultimate in the Super Mario 35 anniversary later this year

Apparently there is a glitch with K.Rool's cannon ball with the Franklin badge currently and ONLY the Blunderbluss in the current patch.

That is strange that one of my mains is getting a glitch with his Neutral B against the Franklin badge.

Still, would Shantae have a mixture of her genie powers and Pirate Gear from Risky? Or just her entire moveset based on equipment, magic and transformations throughout her 5 adventures so far?

Yes, but the thing is that it was stated to be for "later this year", ergo nothing for this specific week.

Edit: According to Smash's JP account, the tournament is set sometime between November and December.

Lol it's a bit of a stretch. I guess he thinks well if the badge needs to reflect the canon from another direction (like the up b he mentioned), it could happen if shantae was in and it's a bug from working with those things. It's a nice tin foil moment, we haven't had a lot at all in quite a while. So it's not bad to see I guess XD

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

My two cents on the Limited Edition of Shantae GBC are the following.

One, I still don't own a physical version of the game.

Two:

Spoiler

I'm so torn.

On a different note, I guess this will pop up on the milestones...?

We are thrilled to announce Marble Knights — coming soon, only on @AppleArcade! As Orbin, Marabelle, and the other Knights of the Round, up to four players can team up in sword-swinging, orb-riding, puzzle-solving action to save the realm from the evil Lord Terroball! pic.twitter.com/7bxlRezgOk

I don't know what to think if they base Shantae of her Pirate's Curse moveset only.
I mean, it'll still be Shantae. So I'm taking it.

But if that's the moveset we're getting, something is gonna feel off about her...
Not really a bad thing, but just... odd.

I can trust in Sakurai to give her a mix of genie and pirate stuff. Given what's been done with other characters, it's not impossible. Plus it's unlikely for us to get Risky this time anyway...

 

[Paragon-Yoshi]

If it's a mix, then I'd be alright with that.

I think she wouldn't only have that. Most likely a mix. There's plenty of moves to work with anyway.

 

[Paragon-Yoshi]

So just to be sure...
What is the entire history of Smash Bugs in new updates and the characters they "hinted" towards?
And what else could this new bug be hinting at, other than Shantae?

Honestly, it could be cuz of many things. The question is why did they tweak around the canon's properties for that to happen.

I'm curious too which bugs the guy in the video is talking about. I don't know any specific ones, but from what he said it should be that a bug happened with the base character they used for a new character, before the new character's release.

If I find what any were I'll share And maybe someone else knows.

 

[meleebrawler]

The only pirate item Shantae is likely to use at this point is a scimitar. Most anything else can be replicated with magic and transformations, especially post Seven Sirens.

 

[Teeb147]

What would be a good up-b for shantae besides the canon shot?

Harpy flight I guess would be one, but what else?

 

[Teeb147]

Ok Paragon-Yoshi . I have a little bit of info about the bugs.

Apparently, before Banjo's release, there were some bugs with duckhunt dog. People thought he was the base but actually ridley is, so it wouldn't be about a base character, but rather borrowed animations. (which would make more sense anyway since k rool wouldnt be a base character for shantae XD)

Bayonetta's dress or something had visual bugs before minmin's release. At the time they thought maybe that meant twintell because she's closer to bayo than min min. I dont know if or what they borrowed from bayo for min min, but it's possible they did.

Now there are 2 other visual bugs, one with ness (his eyes i think), and one with daisy (her dress becoming short). Nobody really knows what that could mean.
But anyway those and the k rool's canon would be the ones that are going on right now.
