Ok, guys I have been doing some thinking thanks to some new information so hear me out for a moment.

Now we know about the yet Christina Vee made about wrapping hey work for a game. Not a lot of people dismissed this saying it was probably about the next Fire Emblem game since she is playing the main companion character in the game. So it could be that but here was what I thought.

Now we don't know when There Houses is coming out, just next year (so maybe someone with knowledge on FE release teens could fill me in) now I'd say if the have is releasing between January-March, then it's reasonable that a main character would have all their lives wrapped by now. But if it's a spring, summer or fall release, I find it harder to believe that they would call it a wrap (yes the script would probably be done, but there is the possibility for rewrites and more likely lip syncing for later cut scenes and battle animations) so the later the game gets released, they more likely they would need final touch up work from her before she could call it a wrap and in the can.

Now it could be some other game, however... Just recently it's come to my attention that the voice actress for Medusa had been liking and sharing posts from fans regarding old snake-hairs in Smash (similar to actions from Shulks voice actor last time around.)

So it's possible that voice for Smash are wrapped (or one by one wrapping) and maybe both actresses for Shanta and Medusa are flexing the little freedom they have before official reveals are made.

Pit hasn't shown up in any of the Ultimate character trailers and we know Sakurai loves him. What if a trailer starts with Pit under attack, Medusa reveled as his attacker and a new fighter, and then Shantae springs in to give the angel a helping hand while making a dual reveal?

I've run out of time at this point, in having to use those little wrappers for chewing gum...
I'm a bit too uneasy about a protagonist needing to be "rescued" from their primary antagonist that they should be well-experienced in fighting. The most the villains can do is get a temporary upper hand, before the hero gets his second wind on his own, as seen with Bowser Jr. and Ridley. Now, if the antagonist is from a different franchise on the other hand...

If Shantae is to be revealed, it has to be on her terms. Or Risky's.

What if the reason Cristina said she finally wrapped up work on the game (assuming it's Smash) was because the last thing she recorded was her lines for Shantae's reveal trailer? That would correlate with a few other things such as the timing of this suspected announcement. I dunno, but just some happy fresh tinfoil for you guys.

Oh that? I heard she's voicing the new Icons character Ezel or whatever, that tweet was in reference to the character being revealed a few days later. That being said, I'm looking for a confirmation and I'm not finding it so maybe I'm wrong.
If Shulk's VA did it with no repercussions, then I think this leans closer to confirmation than deconfirmation.
You're right, she would probably deny she has anything to do with Smash if she weren't in, it's just that Shulk's VA and Ms. Vee are two different people who could like tweets for two different reasons, so I worry this might not mean anything I suppose.

Medusa’s va did the same thing like shulks and now recently OUR GIRL

Stephano Stephano put the spread sheet on edit I need to add something
How recent did Medusa's VA liked a Smash related tweet? So now that Ms. Vee has confirmed Shantae's appearance in Smash we can finally start our pre party celebration.

Buddy, I don't think this confirms anything at the moment, but it definitely works in our favor.

October 1st, but she quickly deleted the retweet.

While you guys are speculating over a Christina Vee like on a Shantae/Smash related image, I will still wait until I hear it from Nintendo or Sakurai. Because without those sources confirming or denying this to be the case, this matters to me as much as rat droppings in the sewers. However, that is pretty suspect, come to think of it, but I'll still hold my tongue before I pass judgement down.
On a personal level, I do hope this means something extraordinary for our half-genie hero, so we could just dance like no body is shooting at us. And sorry I'm so foul in my critique, but I'd rather stay my pessimistic ways and blow my lungs out in happiness when I see Shantae in the game than to go optimistic and drown my sorrows when I see nothing.

Well, if Vee doesn't delete the like... that might spell doom for Shantae's chances.
That was a retweet not a like if it was a retweet it really would spell doom to our chances but guess what it wasn’t a retweet it was a like same thing wayforward did.shulk and Medusa’s va do that Medusa’s va did that retweet on accident so yeah....STOP WITH THE DEBBIE DOWNER DUDE

I think the tinfoil is getting to everyone. I feel we should wait for the next few days to see what else occurs. (Although, coupled with the leak of Shantae and Vee now liking one Smash content is calling my head for more tinfoil)

If she gets in, I really hope her blobfish/tank transformations are represented somehow. Because they are absolutely hilarious.

Or they could have been given the okay to start "liking" certain tweets but not responding.

So if we go about it then in the next Smash Direct both Medusa and Shantae will be revealed as playable fighters!!!

I know I am jumping to conclusions but come on I want Shantae in Smash.

#ShantaeForSmash

Also to those showing off the daily Rotty gifs I will say that you don't have to worry about being new gifs. Any gifs of Rotty is welcome. So I will see you all tomorrow for the next batch of gifs. Let's do this everyday till Shantae gets announced for Ultimate.

Going through Vee's likes for the past month she very seldom likes Shantae related tweets, in fact I think TOY's tweet is the only Smash related one she's liked at all, I'm gonna mention her soon to see if she likes that post as well just to get an idea of whether this is a coincidence or not.

Sounds like a plan.

There's TOO MUCH EVIDENCE surrounding Shantae! This CAN'T be for just a mere Assist Trophy!
I know I've been a bit too tough on you in the past, but you have to remember. Our gathering of evidence relies a lot more on rumors than it does on hard evidence. And that, at the end of the day, the only certain, harder than hard evidence that'll be in effect is if she's in or not. Perhaps it's just me being too much a pessimist, but I want to be realistic with our chances and try to absolve myself of the Spreadsheet and all we got from it, because it could just be our collective undoing.
I will always want Shantae in Smash. There will be gates of Hell I'll need to cross before that's stripped of me. But if you keep on making yourself set up that Shantae will be in this game in one way when it's also been shown that Sakurai thinks on a different wavelength that none of us can reliably pinpoint, you will just burn yourself really badly in the figurative sense.

Control the flow regarding the temptation to release the dam. It will leave ever lasting damage once the flow slows down

I would give it a day. I don't know if it would reflect will on is if we start blowing up their social medias in an attempt to out them.
