Sorry, that was my fault.

Wade doesn't appreciate how I'm calling him by affectionate forms of address. :(
Just playing the bit here dude, not legitimately upset


Yeah. I dont count indie pogo, it's more like a party game than a smash-like game to me. (fun, but not a platformer)


Also, Deviant Art is really weird sometimes (ive said that before).
I found someone who for some reason likes to draw characters with tons of water in their pants, and it's really weird, lol.

I fear for your innocence if you think that’s weird by Deviantart standards.

Smash IS a party game though, or it is at heart anyway.

And, yeah, DeviantArt is weird, but it still has some really great stuff to make up for all of that too.

I think I'd buy any smash-like game Shantae's in JUST to play her. But she'll be in smash anyway :D

Edit : Also, hi Dylly ^^
Hello Majesty! ^^

How're you this evening?

I know, I've seen worse, I just dont want to post those here lol.
May you show some of them to me in PMs then, please? ;)

I'm fine, although I have been having massive and exhausting neighborhood issues lately but it's not the place to talk about it xD
I was just passing by to stay updated on the thread before fading to sleep :p
May some smash news be coming sooner than later !

To be fair, their "normal" is weirder than that.

Umm... this isn't right.
View attachment 170577
That's photoshopped, right?

Yeah, it's a bit strange though. Isn't that Risky's Revenge?
I'm pretty sure that's the cancelled game, judging by the HUD. Could be wrong tho.

Edit: Actually maybe not. Never played RR for me to remember.

I really don't understand the big problem that this thread has with the original game. It's the Game Boy Color's best Metroidvania and its cult classic status is the reason we have more Shantae games. If anything, Risky's Revenge is flawed because it's half the game the original was. Really, it has half the dungeons, half the dance transformations, half the game-length, no day/night cycle, and you don't even fight Risky despite the title. Half-Genie Hero was given to the wrong game.
The original GBC-game is still my favourite in the series.

So yeah, not getting the stigma...

agreed! on a side note it also has a pretty fun ost for a gameboy color game and a lot of melodies were great enough to get remixed and remastered a myriad of times in later games. :)

Pro tip: it's best not to use terms of endearment when not everyone's gender is clear.

Unless you're African-American, of course, it's easier to let it slide then. :reverse:

And that wasn't for lack of trying, since the episodic game format ala Final Fantasy IV: The After Years was simply picked at the wrong time (and eventually scrapped come Pirate's Curse, so as it is now it's the Kingdom Hearts 3D to PC's KH III). Still the least best game in the series, but the circumstances it was made in are understandable.

The things are going good, Kirbeh.

How are you, this evening? :3
Good to hear.

Tired from work as usual, which is what I respond with as usual... But I get the next two days off so I'm finally going to have some time to get back into drawing and maybe finally finish Luigi's Mansion.

And I take it there's been nothing from Nintendo about anything yet?

Unfortunately not, still awaiting news from them. :(

And, which Luigi's Mansion are you specifically referring to?

Soon I'll be able to experience the PAL Hidden Mansion (in a fashion). Just as well because it feels like the 3DS normal mansion showers you in hearts.

Part of me hopes that we can see some of those portrait ghosts in the future, especially after seeing E. Gadd being much more lax with the ghosts in Evershade Valley. Sure a lot of them were jerks, but most of them felt like they were just being used by King Boo to block Luigi's progress without their knowledge and were otherwise doing nothing malicious without provocation. And yet of all of them, it's King Boo, the one ghost that absolutely deserves to be locked up in a painting, that gets sold off for no good reason.
I know this isn't Rottytops' Theme, but it does have Luigi's Mansion music?
None that I know of, sorry.

Though I guess that "music box" segment is reminiscent of how the Brawl remix of the Luigi's Mansion theme starts.

How often did he say "Mario is an evil sociopath" and "Sans is Ness" by now?

Kinda makes me shudder on what he will do with Shantae, if she hits the big show.
Shantae takes place in a post apocalypse world? The old world technology is shown to be our stuff right? and characters live in a arabian world but stuff like watches exist and a bicycle I think is "old technology" in the game.

Hey there everyone. Haven't actually used Smashboards yet, even though I've been following speculation since it was revealed. Thought now is the best time to make an account, especially if it means supporting my favorite potential newcomer, Shantae.

DeviantArt is equal parts a place for address to demonstrate their craft as it is a place for others go to express their many, many (checks the actual numbers) MANY bizarre fetishes...

You know... I have been thinking. I've been on the Shantae train since Ultimate was announced, but I never really thought about who to support if and when she is confirmed. Who are you guys going to hop to in the event she does get in?

For me, I think I'll join in with the Geno Bros. That puppet deserves to be in Smash at this point.

I don't know. Shantae was my second most wanted character I jump on after Palutena was confirmed in that GLORIOUS ANIME TRAILER. So for the 3rd...I am not to entirely sure at the moment.

The guys from the Isaac thread have come in multiple times to throw us their support, so I hope he gets in for their sake. Geno I also think has high chances.

Tho if it comes to wants, I will probably soft my support to Medusa/Viridi as Palutena echos or even Roll as an out of nowhere Mega Man echo.

And any Pokemon other than Incineroar.

It is Uiharu. Uiharu is absolutely precious.

I love Pokemon, and to this day I still love Sun and Moon...but man, Incineroar is a really meh pick... Decidueye seemed so much more interesting.

As for the Isaac fans, I got absolutely no qualms with them. If they are willing to support us, im more than willing to support them. He seems like a real interesting newcomer as well, even if I haven't had the opportunity to play Golden Sun yet.

I'll be stopping off at Smashboards station then, on probably hopping aboard the hype train for Isaac. Although, he's not the only one I'll support, and am already supporting.

It is Uiharu. Uiharu is absolutely precious.
I love you too then! :D

Uiharu is great.

There aren't many characters I want at this point. I guess maybe all that's less is Impa and Dixie and since they, assuming they do happen, would probably be echoes, I think I'd be content assuming Shantae got in...as far as characters are concerned. I still want confirmation that there's a significant amount of single player content.

Yeah, there is already too many fire based characters in Smash. Decidueye would be great, but I feel any Pokemon that got into Pokken probably will be picked.

If we get a sun and Moon Pokemon I feel the most likely one is Zeraora.

I think the easter egg was a joke; Nuts & Bolts was released in 2008, so that'd be weird...

Besides Shantae and Geno I just want more of the girls in the game. Not saying it 'should' have more, just that I want more :)
(so I'd go there, but I'd still talk about shantae a lot probably :D)

You know what’s funny I can still see ultimate get more female representation it could be because of shantae being the ranked high female in the ballot

Your next genie girl!

Im fine with more female representation. The only issue I have is it makes the title "Super Smash Bros" more and more inaccurate. ;p

Only kidding. The more the merrier. Im extremely happy to see Daisy, Female Pokemon Trainer, and an updated Zelda being in Ultimate, and I think more representation is great.

I'm supporting Shantae and Bandana Dee at the same time, so if one gets in I'm going 100% on the other one.

As for someone else who I'd probably support in addition to Bandana Dee, I'm split between Rex + Pyra, Spring Man, Octoling and Euden [from Dragalia Lost] (good luck making a unique moveset for that guy). Basically a lot of Switch-era guys that would be DLC if they were to get in.
