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

[SoupCanMafia]

10 minutes to launch time!

 

[MajestyIndigo]

Ok guys, see you after the direct, hopefully with good news
also : *PLEASE DONT MAKE HER AN AT*

 

[Teeb147]

For some reason I'm feeling 3 characters now. XD

 

[Dyllybirdy]

10 minutes!

This is gonna be great, no matter if Shantae is revealed or not!

 

[Jorichi]

Keep your eyes open and be on high alert you guys! I feel like we're gonna get quite some info to chew on for the next month or so!

 

[Dyllybirdy]

I have a bunch of different tabs open with different Youtubers. My ears are going to die tonight.

 

[GoldLiger]

Also check for hints if Sakurai does make an appearance. If not look at the character trailer itself(if there is going to be one) and see if you can spot any clues to the next character.

 

[zferolie]

Home with just enough time to spare. the hype is real. whoever we see, this should be a good direct!

 

[RetrogamerMax]

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

Yep, I know the feeling. I almost had a heart attack when I saw K. Rool in the last Direct.

 

[Teeb147]

Everybody's got the direct?

 

[GoldLiger]

FIVE MINUTES TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[AngrySun88]

We're almost at 200 pages! Let's hope our half genie hero is revealed tonight!

As long as she's not shown as an assist trophy, I'm sure it'll be another great Direct.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Yep, I know the feeling. I almost had a heart attack when I saw K. Rool in the last Direct.

When K. Rool was revealed, I was watching it on a phone in a public square lol. I got kicked out.

 

[GoldLiger]

Okay my other prediction is going to be a "WTF" character for Ultimate. Who would it be? Your guess is as good as mine.

too loud lol?

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Captain N the Game Master would be hilarious!

too loud lol?

I was a bit too loud for people.

 

[SoupCanMafia]

T-Minus Two Minutes, gentlemen! It'll come in like a tidal wave!

 

[GoldLiger]

HYPE INCREASING!!!!!!!!!!!

Calm down Liger, calm down. Keep expectations low. Breath in, breath out.

*inhales* *exhales*

 

[LaBeteNoire]

Alright, guys. Here we go!

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Here we go guys. See you on the other side!

 

[Teeb147]

It's on!! have funn aall

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Luigi's Mansion 3! Hype!

 

[AngrySun88]

Barely five minutes on the 3DS. I was expecting a little more with that, but Luigi's Mansion 3!

 

[Teeb147]

waiting patiently-ish

 

[MajestyIndigo]

Come on, give me some smash ! anything ! D=

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Final Fantasy 7!!

 

[Hyfiner]

Well we got something, though not what I was expecting.

 

[SoupCanMafia]

Welp... our day will be soon!
Final Fantasy, whoo boyo... And all our conspiracy theories were for naught. ;-;

 

[Stephano]

Isabelle? Well, I guess it was expected.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Isabelle I guess...

 

[Teeb147]

Well then. That wasn't the surprise I was expecting, animal crossing. Fun game though.

I'm a bit disappointed that there wasn't another character reveal, but I actually legit cried when they showed Isabelle, lol?

 

[AngrySun88]

No deconfirm or confirm, so that's good, but RIP my wallet.

And looks like Isabelle is our new fighter. I was not expecting that! I thought for sure she was going to be an echo.

 

[GoldLiger]

Wow so they made Isabelle a unique fighter and not an Echo. Nice.

 

[Captain Hazama]

Watched the tail end of it. Nice.

 

[MajestyIndigo]

I'm underwhelmed about this newcomer, good night everyone

 

[MagusOfIllusions]

I always thought Isabelle would be an echo not sure how to feel about this...

 

[SoupCanMafia]

Well, at least we still have October! Or November...
Good grief, the wait's gonna be an eternity! At least we know for certain the Half-Genie Hero still has a shot!

 

[Jave]

I like Isabelle and I'm cool with her being in, but that has seriously got to be the least hype I've ever felt for a Smash trailer. The whole thing felt incredibly dull. I get it's the super relaxing Animal Crossing series, but come on.

 

[GoldLiger]

The only thing we need is to congratulate the Isabelle fans. Is their a board for her here?

EDIT: It also seems that Luigi's Mansion 3 was just announced over in the Japan version. Glad to see that the theorist were right with how Luigi having a new Pultergust in the Simon reveal trailer.

 

[Red Dead Redeemed]

As always, I'll always be happy for the people that got what they wanted. I didn't expect Isabelle of all people to be a unique character but I'm more than happy for the people that love Animal Crossing finally getting their break!
