They didn't reveal Dark Samus with Ridley. Yacht Club had a similar silence before Shovel Knight's AT was shown. The Bayonetta ports on Switch hinted at Rodin being in Smash, and look who got announced as an Assist Trophy.
The problem is that unlike Shovel Knight, Shantae hasn't been confirmed so far for ANY Indie Fighting Crossover games even though fans have been wanting her and the actual devs of those games were requesting her. Shovel Knight was confirmed to be a part of Blade Strangers way before his AT reveal yet Shantae is missing from that game(even when the devs were actually wanting and had talks with WF about it). That is the difference between Rodin/Shovel Knight and Shantae's cases.
The difference is that Wayforward wasn't just silent like Yatch CLub was, they haven't allwoed Shantae into any of the indies fighting games (that Shovel Knight has been included in), even tho she is highly requested for those games and Nicalis even said that they would love to have Shantae in Blade Strangers.
Still think that FCorrin should have been base gender instead of MCorrin.
since where dropping character renders here is corrin
Exactly unlike the two above it's a combination of multiple things that do not make sense if Shantae is "just an AT".
Nah, I doubt Incineroar, and the retro no one is talking about and I am sure we are getting, is getting a stage. Plus we know 3 more unique newcomers have to be coming with stages at least, as the music test screen has 3 slots open for music icons, which would get their own stages
Man I really wish they used her as the default/base. looks much better then the male.

Is Simon Belmont not retro?
Simon Belmont seems a weird mix. Like his design is definitely retro! Usually his current looks are more anime. But Castlevania has still had releases in recent years, so it's kinda both maybe.
I would say that specifically, Simon Belmont from Super Castlevania IV and before is a retro character, with Richter being a sort of retro character in the Japanese eyes.
Seriously, did anyone seriously expect or want Rodin as a playable character? And did platinum games shill for him as a playable character during the ballot?
Retro's are Nintendo first party retros. Like Pac Man could have been considered a retro last game, but the retro was Duck hunt in reality. CHaracters like Lip, Mach Rider, Donbe and Hikari, and Ayumi Tachibana would be considered retro
Yeah saw a video on it. someone thought it was real because of how they were saying the info haha. yeah not happening that one. No one would risk their job on nintendo like that.
Sakurai has bee known to plow throw supposed rules like that.
Bayonetta, tho. She is far from a legend, but got in because of a special relationship with Nintendo. Nothing to worry about.
Don’t say that. there’s a reason wf is silent and other company’s want her in they wouldn’t do that to the fans.
It makes sense to me, since while Rodin seems friendly enough, isn't he slightly stronger than Bayonetta in her home series?
Actually, I think you're mistaken about Nintendo's and Sony's pre-PSX relationship.
If all those hints in Jammies mode was just pointing towards her being a Assist Trophy in Smash instead of a fighter, I will never play any Shantae game ever again. That's how mad I would be at WayForward.
HUh? since when was anyone not welcome here? Did I miss something?
Mainly people who try to argue that every fighter must have appeared on a Nintendo console prior to being included in Smash.
Those fan rules are so dumb, Sakurai can do whatever he want's outside of licensing issues. People said Ridley was too big and Sakurai made him into a fighter. People said we couldn't have 2 3rd party reps from the same series and he made it happen with Richter.
Ok enough with the fake leaks man jeez!
Which is dumb because Therhythm Final Fantasy is a thing which could even qualify Lightning for Smash.
They could be real but with the extreme overabundance of leaks this cycle, it feels like they're probably fake. Or despite Nintendo's best efforts they're super bad at keeping stuff from leaking.
Well cloud did appear on a nintendo console prior to this, in the rhythm FF games and KH. And honestly, if they were going to pick any FF character, It was going to be cloud. Heck, Sakurai thought of Terra first, but they were worried many people wouldn't recognize her.
He never predicted King K. Rool.has Vereben ever been wrong on anything. I literally have no idea on what this guy has ever said.
Also, lets not forget to
She is appearing in Indivisible, I don't think they would spend tons of resources on adding her in Skull Girls when they are Trying to finish up their other game.
True, but the possibility is still there.
God I would love to see Shantae in skullgirls. I love that game, and know the developers behind it personaly. I actually was on of the big backers of it that got to go to vegas for EVO with them and hang out with the the whole trip. It was a hell of a fun time and worth every penny :D
Hey hey, no no. There is nothing wrong with what he is doing. Whats wrong with seeing fake leaks that put her as an Assist? its the popular thing to do among the fake leakers out there. Plus they are always good for a laugh.
