Hello Majesty! :D

How are you doing?

I don't think you missed anything of too much note, so you're fine there. :)
And yeah, the wait for this direct is getting WAY too long haha!
I'm fine thanks ! I can tell you guys are too.
Personally I'm a bit tired of speculating without any new info coming... After everything we gathered (which is a lot ), we are running out of new clues/hints to discuss. The "strong" soon-to-be directs leaks are going down one by one which leaves us even more in the dark ( which is a good thing because leaks suck ).

I think that she'd be likely if there were a lot of slots left, but there aren't. Simply put, I believe Dark Lord Vergeben and that Ken, Incineroar, and possibly Steve and Geno (or Sora) are the final newcomers. Seeing how Shovel Knight fell into the Assist Trophy pitfall, it's very possible that she's gonna suffer the same fate. Given all of the evidence we have, I fully believe she's in the game in some regard. However, all of the hard evidence is either debunked, able to have some other explanation not involving Smash, or able to point to her being an Assist Trophy. I think there's a an 80% chance she's an Assist Trophy, a 19% chance she's a fighter, and a 1% chance she doesn't appear in the game at all, and more importantly, survives to be DLC.

Edit: INB4 people bash me for pessimism.
2nd Edit: As for my want score: 100%
Well at least you're around 20%, that's not too bad considering how you talk about things..

It's fine if you believe stuff, including that there aren't many slots, but at least dont claim these as if it's final where there's lots of people who dont think the same. It's really just a small courtesy that would go a long way. At least leave things open to other perspectives, especially since you actually want shantae (or so you claim)

It's crappy you say? No it's not!

And if you think that, then **** you, I'm a man of my word, it's my profile picture now lol. :p
Now the entire website can see it!
Buuutt....its poopy...:0 it has to be better.
It's actually quite beautiful. Nothing wrong there. Prettiest rotty ive seen yet anyway :)

It really is beautiful to me, no matter if the creator thinks differently :)
I understand though, I've been hard on some things Ive done too in the past. I'm not saying you couldn't do better if you see a lot of room for improvement, but trust me overall it's great. And I'd literally be looking forward if you think you can make it somehow better!


And Dyllybirdy Dyllybirdy People can call me whatever they want, so long as it's appropriate or in fun :)

Ah, I didn't mean for it to be insulting! My mistake. What I'm saying is that everything about Pokemon works in conjunction. Things like the anime begin their planning and development phase WAY before we see even the first trailer, this is why Ho-oh was in the first episode of the Pokemon anime even though Pokemon Gold and Silver didn't come out till years after.

When it comes to Pokemon in Smash, it works the same way. Lucario was likely decided to become the promotional Pokemon for the next generation when we were all still learning about Mudkip and Torchic. It takes a lot of time to make an entire animated movie after all. Therefore, saying X Pokemon is in BECAUSE of the anime isn't quite right, rather X Pokemon was decided to be in both Smash and the anime years before either of these things were shown to us. There's no denying the anime has a huge effect on Pokemon's presentation as a whole, but that's because both the anime and the games work in tandem to sell us whatever Gamefreak/TCPI is trying to pawn off.

This is why Incineroar has such a strong case even if I personally can't stand it it has mixed reception among fans. Two signature moves, a spot as the rival in the movie that came out before Gen 7, is the starter Pokemon of the Pokemon Special manga for Alola, got the ability and stats that make it #1 in VCG, plenty of appearances in the anime and merch outside of it (namely Pokemon cards). If Incineroar gets in Smash, it will be because it was decided way back before we even knew of the first form Alolan starters, because TCPI wanted to promote it right out of the gate. This is kind of a bad thing because even if the fans choose another Pokemon they like way better (Mimikyu and Rowlet consistently poll way better than Ininceroar) we're getting the less popular Pokemon because of marketing and promotion.
eloquently put, friend.
There's no need to apologize. i said things that you disagree with that are wrong. You respectfully put me in my place. lol
that is literally the way we should be arguing. : )

Not wanting to light up a false flame, but there is talk about another Smash Direct happening Next Week. Don't take it fully, but be ready if does become true.

Be Ready For Anything.
I'm so going to enjoy this

There was discussion earlier on famous Let's Players and Shantae: the Two Best Friends gang played a few one-offs of Pirate's Curse and HGH.

Woolie is a big fan of Wayforward.
The only WF game to get a full LP is Double Dragon Neon. (Unless I'm forgetting something.)
I could swear I got into WayForward originally 'cause of SBFP. They're great!

So, with the music theory dead, I'm hoping the box theory is also killed off soon.

Honestly, the box theory was a huge stretch for one to try finding some ground to prediction. In return, that one hold is losing grip faster compared to other ones.

The Shantae series has no shortage of cute girls, that’s for sure.

Speaking of which, so I was watching someone play through Officer Mode, and I dunno if it’s just me, but does anyone else find Twitch to be absolutely adorable?

I mean all the girls are cute in their Holligan Sisters costumes (and I’m glad we have a glimpse at Sky’s hair) but something about Twitch just stands out to me.

Since they’re posting more than one song get franchise now, I hope they post that kick*** Mega Man X Opening Stage remix during the Smash Direct! Shame it was overlooked by everyone’s dreams getting crushed at that part

I do feel like she's the second cutest of the bunch, behind the obvious of course.
But she's so freaking adorable! :3

She looks a lot like a child, which could be a reason.
She looks so frightened there. I wish I could hug her...
