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

[SoupCanMafia]

Huh, you should tell this to everyone on GameFAQs:

pfft. That's always a little thing. Regardless of everything, though, we only have so much time before we get blown away by the Directs.

 

[Swade]

I’ve noticed. It’s because of the support from the Isaac thread we have received that I want him in the game along Shantae.

Oh yeah, that is sweet of those guys.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Just wanted an excuse to put BrentalFloss on to this thread somehow. Somebody mentioned GameFAQs so I leaped at the opportunity.

 

[Teeb147]

What did I miss?

Better get it open so I keep track of the time left..

Nothing much happened. Billybo10K came to wish us luck from the Isaac thread I guess.

 

[Teeb147]

Good. Clean slate to build up for the next hour :D
And I have enough time to take care of a few things too.

Less people in the thread than I expected, but must be the timeframe.

 

[Jazzy Jinx]

Ack! Well again, it's going to be torture having to work today.

If this does end up being the Direct where Shantae gets announced, it'll suck that I can't be here for it. But no matter what happens today, it's been an incredible ride guys!

I've enjoyed all of the speculation (even if it gets negative sometimes >_>) and hopefully at least one wish will be granted today.~

You'll be here at heart Jazzy
We're all in this together.

And yeah it's too bad, but look forward to knowing what's new when you return! high five.

 

[DeltaSceptile]

Just one hour... I’m getting a bit nervous!

 

[Dyllybirdy]

1 hour to the direct!

Even though I did hop on this ride a little late, I'm happy that I came. You guys are just the best! It's great to finally get accepted by people.

 

[MajestyIndigo]

I'm currently listening to my pre-exam late-night-last-moment-study YouTube playlist full of epic boss battles from different games ( including Shantae of course ) to hype/stress myself

 

[SoupCanMafia]

It's quite amazing seeing so many Isaac supporters going towards us, actually. It would be a pretty grave injustice to forget about Isaac boy.
Regardless, I'll stay my allegiance to Shantae until the end of the DLC Dev Cycle of Smash Bros 5.

 

[Teeb147]

Just one hour... I’m getting a bit nervous!

I had a few butterflies earlier, but I'm mostly just looking forward to finally seeing what's new
And I want to try to enjoy the direct itself.

Remember to take a few good breaths once in a while and enjoy as much as you can
Yup, it's not a bad time to be around

Just stay off any form of social media until you get home or you will most likely be spoiled.

 

[LaBeteNoire]

I don't know if this is the day we get Shantae revealed (Tho I'm pretty positive she is in at this point) but no matter what we are getting someone announced today (possibly a new character and an echo based on the missed blog posts) and that's pretty exciting. Here is hoping for something everyone can be happy about.

 

[Dukefire]

Ready for it and I do have my doubts to avoid backlash if its not happening in this direct

 

[SoupCanMafia]

Anyone up for a horrible meme?

Spoiler: Horrible Meme

Shantae Shantae
Yes Papa?
Smashing Guys?
Yes Papa!
Telling Lies?
No Papa!
See Your Fists.
Ha ha ha!
And that's it for horrible memes. Join me next time for another forced meme

 

[MajestyIndigo]

The positive thing if Shantae is not announced is that we can keep speculating like madmen together for a while longer ^^ I grew to like this thread

 

[Teeb147]

I'm gonna be gone for maybe 30 mins. I'll be back in time.
I might not chat too much during the direct tho. we'll see

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I wish you all guys the best of luck for Shantae. Here's to hoping it comes true for all of you.

 

[SoupCanMafia]

If she does get in, I will miss this thread. Even if it was littered haphazardly with negativity and doubts over single images, as well as the inevitable ****post to hide some of our crippling depression, it was nice being here just to see how many people really do support Shantae as a fighter. <3

If she gets in doesn't this thread just get migrated out of the speculation section to the newcomers?

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Oh god, I hope so. It's actually quite worrying to me.

 

[GoldLiger]

Well guys this is it. Less than 45 minutes remaining to see whether or not the office background theory still holds. Which character(s) will be announced today in the Smash portion of the Nintendo Direct today? Will it be Shantae? Will it Issac? Will it be Incineroar? Will it be Goku(jk lol)?

We will all find out in 40 minutes time.

 

[SoupCanMafia]

Next time on Smash Ball Z!
Shantae's muscles buckle with her newfound powers!
And [Freddy?] sends his [Goku?]s to test the girl's strength all at once!
[Goku?]s reveal that they know the God Smasher's special moves... but it's too little, too late!
Shantae's prepared to destroy... or dance. Whichever one works, at least...
American DBZ Music plays out

 

[Baws]

No matter who gets revealed I probably won't be on Smashboards for a good few hours afterward, so I decided to drop by and wish us all luck today!

 

[loozer2]

Even if there's nothing related to Shantae in the direct, I'm sure there will be something interesting to fuel speculation and discussion in the community for the next few weeks.

 

[Hollywoodrok12]

I'm probably gonna get off now until after the direct,'

Hopefully she does get revealed today. If she (and/or Bandana Dee) does get revealed as a fighter today, I will lose my mind.

Now we wait for 25 more minutes.

 

[AngrySun88]

Remember, even if she's not shown today, it'll have no impact on her chances in Smash. So hopefully nobody here starts panicking or freaking out if she's not shown today. My fingers are crossed for her reveal.

Also, does anyone have a link where I can watch the Direct without seeing any comments? The comments are always cringe worthy.

Watch it from here.

 

[AngrySun88]

Watch it from here.

Thanks!

I'm also going to quote my predictions from earlier to see how many I get right.

Alright, so I'm going to go on a limb and post my predictions/hopes for the Direct this evening.

[Teeb147]

Oh god, I hope so. It's actually quite worrying to me.

Yeah that's the common thing, for threads like these to be moved to the characters' section, don't worry about it, it'll all be fine. and fun.
Here's hoping to shantae, and enjoying some new news.
cheers. <3!

 

[IGuessItsOver]

[Captain Hazama]

You all suck. Getting to watch it in 15 min. while I'll work. I have to be careful when I look the video up with getting spoiled. =P

 

[RetrogamerMax]

I hope we see Shantae today. I'm about to watch the Direct guys, so see you all in a bit.

 

[Deleted member]

It’s got to be her!!!!!! I hope.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

You all suck. Getting to watch it in 15 min. while I'll work. I have to be careful when I look the video up with getting spoiled. =P

Oh, it's gonna be GREAT! Watching a direct live is the best!

 

[GoldLiger]

So let's start out with both positive and negative predictions(this way we all are prepared for the best and worst things)

Good thing: New character(s)
Bad thing: Nothing Smash related is shown

Well what are your guys' good/bad predictions?
