I have a hard time believing that Shantae wouldn't get her as a second unique newcomer at some point when we have
The thing about Mario was back in Smash 1 and Melee he was always known as the most 'basic' and 'simple' character, not a bad character, but just one with easy to learn mechanics that beginners can pick up and learn.
I'm definitely down for more villains to balance things out in the roster. That's mainly why I wanted Sephiroth, aside from just liking him as it is. Specially when he is just as iconic as bowser and ganondorf (like factually even). That said I "personally" would like Risky to be either a hazard or an actual boss fight like Dracula. Just have her hanging from a side of her boat while she bombs the stage and such. Let her be crazy without the limitations of a fighter haha.
Honestly I'm glad pass 2 is the end of this game because 1) I can't even think of who else can get in, and you can even see people out there just naming memes instead of reasonable ideas. And 2) I'm just tired of the lack of common sense and the amount of toxicity in the fandom, speculation has become, for the most part, the least enjoyable part of the game, which is incredibly sad considering there were times were people were less edgy and it was SUPER fun to just speculate without worrying some rando would come in acting like idiots or being naysayers or whatever lol.
Spit Fire (Triple Fireball). Safely harass low hanging recoveries.
Mario's schtick is having average stats. Being easy to play is Kirby's job, it was the entire focus of his series.

Well, it was loading up too slowly for me to see it. Plus. I saw a lot of ads so I didn't feel safe staying on there too long.
True. But Sephiroth is a special case since he is one of the most iconic gaming villains of all time. Risky can't compare to that and I would be surprised if we do ever get Shantae in Smash we would get a 2nd Shantae rep. But I do agree if that ever happens, it has to be Risky and no one else.
Yeah I think a better example would be Banjo-Kazooie. Sephiroth was trending prior to Smash 'cause he's Sephiroth. While still more popular than Shantae, the animal duo never saw a new game for 11 years but still had a big cult Smash following with an Xbox CEO of the same mindset having him in would be cool.
I mean Wayforward were the ones to approach Nintendo right? which usually it's always the other way around… Nintendo then told them to send them artwork. Wayforward didn't even know what spirits were at the time, so they most likely were hoping for a fighter or assist trophy at best. I wonder how much artwork they gave to Nintendo in that case, because it's weird to me that it ended just being 2 spirits instead of the whole main cast, like the uncle, bolo and sky, maybe risky's pirate crew, the red slime guy, etc… Maybe they saved the rest of the cast for her inclusion later? kinda like how Arms and XC2 didn't get the rest of their main cast of spirits in their temporary compensation in base game, because clearly they decided to make a full thing for a pass 2 later on, since pass 1 and base had their hands full already
One can hope I guess…
They probably did approach Nintendo first but Nintendo could've approached back later. Really, we don't know what transpired during their talks. It's possible Wayforward's telling most of the truth while leaving out some stuff because 50/50 owners of that fighter either feign ignorance or nah. NDAs be a pain like that.I mean Wayforward were the ones to approach Nintendo right? which usually it's always the other way around… Nintendo then told them to send them artwork.

Gotta love it each time Metata draws Shantae again
Come to think of it, they did way more than Grasshopper Manufacture's Goichi Suda, who basically spent his time going "I hope Nintendo senpai notices me" without taking any further steps. And all the No More Heroes games didn't get all conveniently released on the Switch until after Travis Touchdown got in as a Mii costume.I mean Wayforward were the ones to approach Nintendo right? which usually it's always the other way around… Nintendo then told them to send them artwork.

I understand your point, but I was specifically referring to series getting second unique characters, not whether they'd get in at all regardless of overall notoriety.
Sorry for the unintentional vagueness (yet again).If anything, right now some are putting more stock into the forthcoming Ubisoft Forward conference at E3.Sorry off topic but wow, Nintendo actually responds to some fan from December 2020 to March 2021 about Rayman for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Now keep that in mind it’s not a promising letter, its more like a appropriation of giving ideas and talking specifically about reasons why Rayman and Nintendo just send a thank you message for a suggestion so yeah check this out and you can reply to me your thoughts, guys.

Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.
If that’s possible then looks like Rayman will finally be free from that ice he’s trapping in on the battlefield lol. I don’t know. We’ll see what Ubisoft and Nintendo has to offer from each other.Come to think of it, they did way more than Grasshopper Manufacture's Goichi Suda, who basically spent his time going "I hope Nintendo senpai notices me" without taking any further steps.

May not mean much, but the kind of effort that WF did is at least enough to have them go "at least we tried" by the end.

Oh, we've come up with a lot of variations for the "Pirate battle" type of trailer. I think it would be cooler and more suspenseful if it was Risky's ship, staffed by Tinkerbats that come out and swarm whoever decided to investigate (whether Risky herself is present or not can vary). For added humor the reason for Shantae being there already would be still sleeping off the slumber party she hosted on that ship.
Very cool trailer conspect. One of my ideas is that Wario would be going into this cave similar looking to the Cave of Wonders from Aladdin and he would stumble upon all this treasure in the cave as well as a magic lamp. Wario would rub this magic lamp and Shantae would come out and start singing "You never had a friend like me!" Just kidding. But Shantae would come out as Wario would be surprised and shocked. The trailer than cuts to Shantae's gameplay footage and at the end it goes back to the CGI cave cutscene with Shantae and Wario and he's spoiling himself in all the riches he found in the cave while Shantae is just sitting there thinking "Man oh man, does this guy love treasure. Loves it too much I would say." She doesn't say that, but she pretty much has that impression on her face.
As soon as someone decides to resell one on Ebay, I'm pouncing on it ASAP. Money isn't an issue for me.
That's what it shows on the page for it, at least for me. Same with Risky's Revenge CE.
So close, yet so far, huh? Where has that been mentioned?
That one's collector edition is...Q2 2021. Yeah, I can't say it's sorted out well.
Reminder: The original Shantae arrives in the Switch eShop tomorrow, priced at $9.99! https://t.co/rqL7gCdYVk

And the start of the two-month wait for the Shantae art book.
You should have pre-ordered the game on Limited Run this past Summer. Sadly, that opportunity has come to pass for those that didn't pre-order back in the Summer. I'm not sure or not if they will release the older Shantae games in physical form at Best Buy since I've only seen the newer or more recent titles like Half-Genie Hero and Seven Sirens there when they came out. We will just have to wait and see.
