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

[Silvera]

Real talk, I legit thought it was Sora.

 

[SoupCanMafia]

WELP!
Sephiroth's in Smash! I did not expect that, but I am highly thankful for it! But by God, poor Geno. He's now at grave risk of getting AT'd via Mii Costume.

 

[Shinuto]

MY COLLAGE guessed a character lol!

 

[Teeb147]

Geno fans were hit the hardest I think. When "flies in a circle" boy has his fighter breakdown, Geno is at high threat of officially being Mii'd

I woudd've wanted Tifa
Tifa fans were hit too

 

[SoupCanMafia]

Though remember, the Mii Costumes will likely be teased soon. Us Shantae people aren't fully cleared yet!

 

[GoldLiger]

Also Cloud Gets a new Final Smash when he uses it against Sephiroth. Really showing love to Advent Children huh?

 

[SebTheGamer]

Well there goes Crash and Shantae leak. I knew it’s good to be fake. I never experienced Final Fantasy 7 but it confirms any villains are allowed to be in Smash now

 

[Dukefire]

Didn't expect another FFVII character to appear. Again, expect the unexpected

 

[LaBeteNoire]

I'm realizing I have very little fondness or attachment to any Square Franchise. I think FF7 in particular is very over rated. Not to say it's not a good game, but people often act like it's the greatest game of all time.

I dunno, if it was gonna be another FF character i would have preferred a throwback like Black Mage or something.

But it will be interesting when the Mii costumes come around this time. Geno as a gunner, Sora as a swordsman, Tifa as a brawler... Any of these could be possible.

Wherever Cloud goes, you know Sephiroth isn't far behind.

jesus christ the &%^in ange on those attacks UUGHH GOD OH NOOOLOL

If she's mii brawler, which makes sense. I'll cry while playing her xD

 

[Dukefire]

The drop date too. Somewhere this month.

Ironically, Sephiroth looks to play more like a traditional FF protagonist than Cloud himself, what with the spells instead of exclusively limit breaks.

 

[zferolie]

yeah, this most likely kills any chance for Geno and Sora becoming fighters. RIP them. Geno most likely is returning as a deluxe Mii costume.

At least Shantae is still in the running!

I'm sorry. I feel bad for anyone who get's Mii'd or AT'd. Lots of my favorites are stuck as AT's

 

[Teeb147]

I'll get over it, at least she'll have a small presence (hopefully will get the costume). thx tho.
Curious how sephiroth will play, but looks like maybe a laggy character with long range.

 

[Dukefire]

Also, Cloud's Final Smash is getting an update.

Spoiler: Image

 

[Shinuto]

Can we also discuss how terrfying it Sephiroth ONESHOTTEED GALEEM?!

 

[Dukefire]

When you got unlimited mana with materia from the world, you have the power to kill worlds and even gods.

 

[Captain Hazama]

You think "Gentle" Sephiroth might be a boss as well as Final Smash?

 

[RetrogamerMax]

DOOOOOOH MY GOD, jesus how are they gonna make that swordWORK?!

Just imagine Simon with a sword.

 

[M00NFIRE94]

Been wanting to see Sephiroth also in Smash so this is pretty cool. Lost my mind I did.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Well you know what this means guys? If Shantae ever get's in Risky isn't a impossibility anymore. We could get Risky someday.

 

[Motor Bug2005]

Has the video showing Sephiroth's place on the mural been uploaded yet? If not, it could mean there's another reveal on the way.

 

[Dukefire]

I think that is it for the challenger reveal. I doubt we will get a double reveal.

Also, sephiroth needs a whole bottle of shampoo and conditioner to bathe for his hair. (Based on Final Fantasy information)

lol yeah

But the slots are getting smaller before it’ll closed. Only 3 more left. Please god

 

[zferolie]

i feel bad for the geno bros and sora fans. they seem to be on suicide watch right now...

 

[Shinuto]

Oh...ooohh God we're getting Sephiroth Kirby...

 

[Schonberg]

Sephiroth in a week! Prepare for Mii costume salt and 2 more songs!

 

[RetrogamerMax]

Oh...ooohh God we're getting Sephiroth Kirby...

Lol! Emo death god Kirby.

 

[zferolie]

Indeed, but nothing has outright deconfirmed her yet, unlike Sephiroth does for Geno and Sora most likely

Thats very cool! I guess the sakurai presents is a day or so before this.

 

[Dukefire]

Update: Sephiroth's release date is in Dec 18 2020.

 

[SebTheGamer]

I know I always go with this everytime but I’m just worried about Shantae might not be joining for any reasons especially having smaller slots now and then it’ll be the end and some big disappointments.

 

[Teeb147]

I'm disappointed by the Sephiroth costume colors. They're all dark colors like Cloud, but one where he's topless :O

 

[Jovahexeon Joranvexeon]

Real talk, I legit thought it was Sora.

The minute that Galeem got sliced like that, I dared to HOPE! Hope it was Sephiroth. And it paid off!

Before the slice I thought we were gonna get Reimu

 

[Teeb147]

Unrelated to the new character, but this art was posted today:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Shinuto]

Welp the leak was a fake after all. Just as I expected.
