Well last time they didn't talk about shantae in smash it turned out she was a spirit in the game. Before that they were vocal.
Because they are taking their time to make Freedom Planet 2 great.
Yes, but according to Strife, if Nintendo or Sakurai wanted any Freedom Planet representation in Smash, they would've gotten a call from them years ago.
Well, no, spirit events don't need that long of a time to process things. And even fighters could technically be decided on not that long before a certain pass, though probably still need to be 1 year in advance in order to get everything ready for it. Depends on the companies, since apparently minecraft has been talked about and in the works for like 5 years.
Hey Limited Run Games replied thereReddit - Dive into anything

I think it means Matt is now under an NDA.
But yeah Matt didn't.
That's the most telling part limited run replied . Matt could of easily replied saying something like " that would be great" but nope nothing. And as you can see on the other questions he replied sometimes in paragraphs. I refuse to think that he didn't notice this literally huge question.Hey Limited Run Games replied there
THey havent said anything about her and smash on twitter too. There's definitely a reason. Just don't know what that is.
They'd still take their time making the game even if people asked them all the time (take it from me, the Mega Man X: Corrupted fangame development is still going on no matter how soon people want it. ). It's not like board discussion here magically affects them. All we do is talk, we're a Greek chorus.

. I thought it was coming out as more of a cyan.I guess my only thought on this is; If Shantae is not in Smash what has been the purpose of this span of secrecy. If Wayforward has not been approached for their creation to be in Smash, then there is no reason to not say enjoy "the sticker that we fought hard to get into the game", yet, they have not acknowledged it since it's reveal. I don't think it's a garbage argument to think that a business can act like a business.
(puns for days). Wayforward can bask in the attention guilt-free. They have nothing to deconfirm because they did nothing to cause any speculation. Against, they can say "hoorah we have a spirit." If Shantae is in smash then their silence also makes sense. Either way they benefit from the silence.
To me that's just not good logic. If you saw how they were with fans before, for getting her in smash, even rallying support and made alternate costumes, and more.
Yeah. At least with Ubisoft we figure that they yank out any reference to Smash to the extent of their survey, since they probably don't care that much about Rayman anymore.
Except we now know getting Shantae and Risky as spirits actually required barely any effort from Wayforward. All they did was toss a handful of art pieces to Nintendo to use as they like, not even specifying in what game or capacity. Even assuming Nintendo put them in Smash due to fan outcry is a tad presumptuous.Thanks

All hype that was created was started by Wayforward, quashed by nintendo, and reignited by the fans. Ever since the spirit reveal it has been us fanning the flames
So do I think Wayforward is a greedy corporation who revels in the anguish of their supporters? No, not in the slightest.
Do I think Wayforward benefits from keeping their collective mouth shut to allow one of their biggest IPs to gain insane amounts of fame off the heels of one of the biggest games of the decade? 100% yes. Whether or not Shantae is in Smash, this was a brilliant move and I respect them more.
I meant for that to come out as a "don't diminish our accomplishment" sort of statement, but I see how it comes off mildly presumptuous and ignorant. Good catch.
Okay, but that makes it look to the interviewer like they're not paying attention or daydreaming. Even a "no comment" would have sufficed.
One can only imagine what WF would do if they did ask Nintendo about adding Shantae as playable. Most third-parties seemingly are under the impression that Nintendo should contact them, and not the other way around.
Lol what you said's not true. You're making a lot of assumptions based on what they said.
It could mean he is under a NDA or he is not and is just avoiding all Smash questions relating to Shantae as he has nothing to say to the fans. But realistically, I think it's option 2 and he is not saying anything since she probably isn't in. I'm not 100% doubting she isn't in, but I wouldn't soley bet she is in because of Matt not answering Smash related questions. There has to be more evidence than silence to confirm someone is under a NDA.

Well, of course they wouldn't know what a spirit was, since that wasn't revealed, but it still takes contracts, and it was still for smash, that's why he said that they could include her in some way, not 'for anything nintendo'. They gave the artwork willynilly. And you still need contracts for both company's protection, but it could be something like 'We give Nintendo the right to use the artwork for Shantae we provided', in which case Nintendo might acknowledge it and sign, but WF has no clue whether they'll use it or not, but since they stopped talking about shantae in smash before she was revealed as a spirit, I'm sure Nintendo provided 'something' that would make them not want to mention anything. (they just didn't know any 'details')
Well, it's a good thing I never specifically said there were no contracts, isn't it? Either way he's certainly not making the process of being noticed and setting up agreements sound difficult.
Still Strife said that somewhere within the last few weeks on the GalaxyTrail Discord.
Well, if it was just a few weeks ago, and they said they didn't get any calls, then yeah I guess that seals it unless they're deflecting, which I don't think is the case.
Sure, I can see why you thought it wasn't a big process because of how he said it, and it might've been as short as I mentioned, which isn't a lot for businesses that have to go through a lot to protect themselves.
Except they never answered it in the first place.
We really won't know for sure until 2021 ends, so all we can do is wait, really.
They've been slowing down the milestone posts havent they?We really won't know for sure until 2021 ends, so all we can do is wait, really.
In the meantime, do you think they'll keep the milestones going before New Year's?
Yeah, maybe it'll pick up around Halloween.
At this point it's Schrodinger's Mii for both.
We don't know that.
I would rather Shantae get a Mii costume than nothing at all. That's likelier than being playable since it shows that demand for her is still there, like with Travis. Obviously, I want her playable as does everyone else in this thread, but I sure as hell won't say no to any other form of recognition. It's a hell of a lot better than a Spirit, which she already has.
For what it's worth, not many even realize that Lloyd's Mii costume has yet to come back, and it's the only Bamco one left that hasn't. With Tales' fast hero turnover rate, his supporters may not be ready for a nasty surprise...
I want that Lloyd costume back because I'm tired of waiting. Watching all those Namco costumes trickle out is annoying. Just rip the band-aid off already. It was my favorite Swordfighter costume in Sm4sh, and that is unlikely to change.
The only Smash 4 DLC costumes left are Lloyd, Rathalos Armor, Geno, and the Chocobo hat right? And for Fighters Pass 2, so far we got Heihachi back with Min Min and Gil with Steve. So... maybe they’re gonna drop one with each character plus the new Mii fighter outfits. Or maybe they couldn’t get the rights back for one or more of them. ...Or maybe someone’s getting a promotion, who knows.
You don’t get it do you? If it’s your opinion then ok
In Smash 4, Rathalos Armor and Hunter's Armor came together and Geno and Chocobo Hat came together, so if those combos remain plus Lloyd, there will be enough filler for 3 more challenger packs, and then the final pack will be a complete mystery. It'd be funny if the next three fighters were all promotions of the currently missing costumes, but that would be too perfect.
Like I said, Schrodinger's Mii.
