Or a Valentine's Day episode where Shantae decides to date Bolo only for Risky to seduce him to be her's (for laughs of course) and Shantae spends the rest of the episode trying to look more pretty than her while taking bad advice from Rottytops (who's also doing this just for laughs).
but Boolo sees her as a Sister.

I wanna see an episode where Sky and Rotty notice Shantae and Bolo go somewhere secret once a week, and come across Vinegar saying the same with Twitch, follow them only to discover the three of them are part of a D&D styled tabletop game with Squid Baron, Poe and Abner, and the Hypno Baron is the DM

If Shantae does indeed get in I want to someone to draw Shantae sitting on an ornate throne, her legs crossed, one hand clenched in a fist holding her chin up, her face looking smug with a cheeky smile. the other on the arm of the throne holding a Smash Ball. Shantae is adorned in a crown and is using Shovel Knight as a (possibly willing) foostool, with a title above her saying"Indie Queen" with various other indies bowing to her.

Yes Im aware its out of character but it just looks funny in my head.
Maybe Shovel Knight is like the Royal Grand Vizier?

Oh for goodness sake! Stop posting pornography on this website! Wrong message board to do it on!
I gotta be serious, I think that this post may actually invoke the wrath of a mod (wo)man.
May God have mercy on their souls.
All while Shantae and Friends are just playing some Dungeons and Dragons, or should I say Parrots and Pirates.

Maybe to be extra mean, it could be a Game of Thrones parody with the throne being made of weapons and tools from other indies like Shovel Knight’s Shovel, Quote’s Polar Star, etc,

EDIT: Basically this, but with Shantae.

Whoops, but that tv shows and games don't have to agree with each other 100%.

I'll be even meaner, how about a throne made up of Assist trophy characters with every single one of them having been confirmed before Shantae's reveal. It would be a subtle, "Where's your Most Wanted now?" with Shantae looking all smug like she's taking over Risky's job.

Yeah. all we can do is hope that WF wasn't contacted till later.

On a more positive note, we talked about who Shantae would probably make friends with on the roster, so who could you see her making enemies with?
Wario.


I get the feeling she might not like Dedede all that much either, but Wario. Definitely Wario.

Also just as a small update, David Hayter recently said in an interview that he hasn't been called to record any codecs for Ultimate.

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...t_been_recorded_for_super_smash_bros_ultimate

While I'm not surprised, I am a bit disappointed that we won't get to see a codec/Palutena's guidance crossover. But one can dream and I ain't giving up hope yet.
I am not to worried. I think they are just waiting to show off all the characters(Or at least most of them) before calling in the codecs. You know how careful Sakurai is when it comes to keeping such a big secret, and there is more than enough time left to record all the needed lines.

If anything, there is a chance that he "lied" in that while he's not necessarily telling the truth, he's mainly doing it to mitigate possible NDA violations. And that he may have recorded new Codex entries for the newer fighters and possibly rerecorded the older ones to better reflect the prospect from 10 years ago. Come to think of it, I hope that Palutena can record new Palutena Guidances. I doubt that there would be too much rerecordings, but it's entirely possible with Sakurai's Donkey Kong-like Determination.

Yeah I agree, my reveal trailer idea for Shantae has her facing off against Wario after he tries to steal a magic lamp before she knocks him away from it and crushes it with a mighty elephant stomp

It likely won’t be the same as in Brawl considering the Japanese voice actor for Colonel passed away after Brawl and the union status for the English VA’s of all the other Metal Gear characters.

That is an unfortunate side effect of 10 years of time. Well, maybe 11, give or take a year. But the crew will likely cross that bridge when they get there.

The Western side of Pop Star.
Considering that IGuessItsOver gets rebuffed every single time he brings up Shantae in the general, it's probably a good thing this thread doesn't get noticed for any infractions. Wouldn't be much fun.

Plus David's much older now, so it wouldn't be consistent if older codecs were included alongside new ones. A Crash Remastered/Spyro Reignited approach is best in this case.

I’m just saying unless they can convince the others, it’s likely we’ll hear different voices for the Colonel, Otacon, and Mei Ling if we get Codecs at all.

Dunno if this has been added yet, but Nintendo of Japan is now active on Twitter again along with the Smash blog being updated. Their last tweet was on the 6th about the delay, but now it seems operations at Nintendo are up and running. Keep a look out for that Direct announcement soon.

Regardless of the possibilities of the Codecs being in the game at all, I just wanna see how close the codex would get to being like the ones on the TV Tropes page.
Dude, I have been looking all over on the Just or Fun page on TV Tropes to see if there has been one made for Shantae. Did I miss it or something?

I was just thinking it seems like it's a good point in time where nintendo might announce something, from here on out.
Can't know for sure when, might not even be soon, but could be, can't hurt to keep a lookout once in a while.

It's been pretty defunct for a while, mainly due to waiting, though I did write a hypothetical codex back in 2016, I think? It's under SuperMafia, not SoupCanMafia. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/JustForFun/SuperSmashBrosCodecsAndPalutenasGuidance This is the URL to the page, just in case. But yeah, there's also a Shantae-made Palutena Guidance, though it's likely in the middle.

Whatever the case I just want to see a scenario where the MGS and Kid Icarus characters bickering and taking low blows at each other. Or they just become bff's.

Funny, maybe. But I don't think Shovel Knight should be a footstool. That's asking for trouble with the fans. (Also degrading since he's an AT.)

Shantae can be friendly with almost everyone, and the worst they usually do is just get on her nerves sometimes. Even Ganondorf could be seen as having a softer side if she could get him talking.

The only exceptions are Metroid villains Ridley and Dark Samus. The former is much like the Pirate Master in having commited atrocities that changed the protagonist's life and reveling in it, only lacking the raw magical potential (yet he's more adept at cheating death!). The latter is power-hungry creature impossible to reason with, and probably would like nothing more than convert the rather easily corrupted genie half of Shantae to her side.

Found them. Pretty neat, though any official one will likely be a bit different. I do hope that Shantae does poke her head in on the Palutena's Guidance one though, like Chrom did.

smartly enough, he did an amazing job with his wording. Every question refers to the past. An NDA would refer to current inclusion. He used past tenses in most of his responses. That interview, honestly, affects nothing.

Thank you for giving us hope and not letting us down! that could be part of speculation with Kaufman’s possible nda and daisy hip bumping in the artwork.

I’m going to sleep I hope nothing goes wrong when I’m away.

Night night :ultkrool:

I’m imagining a similar scenario between the Uprising cast and Shantae cast if Shantae’s friends are part of her final Smash and they get their voice actors in on it

dream of daisy and shantae. :colorful:

Whatever happens we'll turn around and get back on track.
And personally I think it's possible the interview was before they got contacted. I don't believe all decisions for the game are made only at the beginning of design, I think that's just for the base stuff.

Yeah that may be a bit too far, i was thinking something like this image except with Shantae and the tools/weapons of her indie rivals like Shovel Knight’s shovel and Quote’s Polar Star:

Velvet from RWBY.
Weiss is best girl though.
And everything past volume 3 is garbage.
I agree on your first spoiler and we'll have to agree to disagree on the second.
I agree Weiss is best because she has just grown so damn much over the course of the show. I'm proud of the Ice Queen.

Btw, I love Mojojoj RWBY art. It's so good, and they are quick at making it. Looking forward to the next season coming soon.
