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

[SoupCanMafia]

Probably some form of shantae nab and the dancing mini game.

Hmm, perhaps the Transformation Dances are multiballs and you have to progress upwards to the Tinkerbat Multiball? Perhaps a "Final Battle with the Pirate Master" is a sort of the Wizard Mode for this Shantae pinball game?
Of course, while all sorts of characters from the Shantaeverse will be part of the board, it'd be pretty cool to see some Mighty Switch Force references, Cat Girl Without Salad references, maybe some of their more obscure characters can get in on the action, like the other Mighty protagonists.

I'd also love to see some references to Sigma Star Saga, LIT, and a Boy and his Blob too.

You know, im surprised I didn't ask yesterday. Is there any other evidence/potential hints besides what was on that one spreadsheet? Im still feeling really confident about Shantae, but im wondering if there's anything else that is being considered.

Not that I know of, no, that spreadsheet is basically an all inclusive compilation, of all of Shantae's evidence so far.

I think the spreadsheet has the big ones, There might be some smaller bits if you go digging in this thread back 300+ pages ago.

if you really wanna flex your Uiharu level computer skills you could deep dive in this thread. but i dont wish that on anyone.

Im sorry to say, but the only thing I've inherited from Uiharu is flowers in my hair and Satens in my personal space.

Saten, but how? She's fictional too. And, I also have a headband made out of flowers in my ha-
Oh wait, yeah, I'm male. I think... I dunno why a male would own so many school girl skirts.

Ohh i love multiballs! (Metroid prime pinball phazon multiballs!) The tinkertub and tinkerslug could be obstacles to higher levels too. I'd also like to see chef girl make a cameo.

 

[Teeb147]

Ooo pinball now that's something I havent played in a long time.
Imagine Shantae pinball Of course she'd be the one turning into a ball (well, doesnt have to be)

Hopefully we get direct news soon
Goodnight y'all

This reminds me. Why is it called a slug when it's clearly a snail?

 

[Red Dead Redeemed]

So if Shantae does make it in, what are some stuff y'all are hoping she'll come with?

Personally, if Spirits mode does turn out to be the successor to Melee's adventure mode/SSE like I'm hoping it'll be, I want one of the story team ups to be between Simon, Bayonetta, K. Rool and Shantae. Just to see a Witch, a Pirate, and a Shapeshifter, all led by a Vampire Hunter, to go kick some ass in homage to Castlevania 3. Plus I think their interactions could be hilarious, especially if they have to shanghai K. Rool into helping them.

For the same reason I also would like to see Richter team up with Ultimate Zelda, so that he can once again team up with a blonde cute as a button magic user dressed in pink.

I would also totally want Nega-Shantae to be an alt just like how Young Link gets Dark Link as an Alt.

And maybe add in a Rotty Assist Trophy too because I know it would definitely bring a smile to Dylly's face. Risky, Bolo or Sky would be awesome too though.

 

[Makai Wars]

Sigh I wish she was in fighters like skullgirls even Matt would like to see her in it but just as Makai Wars said she isn’t in it I feel like they got denied
I wish they couldn’t be this stingy with their ip

It's not a denial thing, it's more like Lab Zero is just a small (ish) studio and every single character takes a ton of development time AND Indivisible is in development atm.
Here's a good video on it!

Forget what I just said I’m good

 

[Dyllybirdy]

This reminds me. Why is it called a slug when it's clearly a snail?

Eh, yeah, maybe.

Although, if it's name is irritating you, you can just refer to it as "P.O.O.P. T.O.O.T." from now on.

And maybe add in a Rotty Assist Trophy too because I know it would definitely bring a smile to Dylly's face. Risky, Bolo or Sky would be awesome too though.

Yes, I would be ecstatic! :D

 

[Grimacebsx]

This reminds me. Why is it called a slug when it's clearly a snail?

Maybe because slug sounds cooler no one wants to be a slimy snail. But personally i prefer POOP-TOOT.

sigh... time to start shipping.

I’m kinda curious as to how they came up with that acronym, though at the same time I’m kinda afraid to hear the answer...

 

[Hollywoodrok12]

Anybody heard of that Nintendo life tourney Sakurai himself tweeted about? I wonder if thatnmeans that we aren’t due for any news in October due to maybe saving the direct for that event. Also apparently some leak that may have not been debunked yet in the image department is the geolyte from meteos. I don’t believe it honestly, but it could potentially be our wtf character. I’m still gunning for next week on the 24th or 25th for any new smash news as that would be shantaes best chance. What do you guys think?

I remember debunking the Meteos leak myself a while ago (not on here tho).

Look at the way the shadow goes to the left from the damage number on the leak (Edit: It's failing to come up. Just look up the leak on google and it should come up).


Now look at the actual game, where that shadow goes to the right.

Everyone everyone!

I was thinking moreso Riki or Tora (or any Nopon for that matter)

 

[Dyllybirdy]

sigh... time to start shipping.

Heh, I haven't actually seen that one be brought up in the Smash Shipping thread yet.

 

[Wademan94]

Cause it depends on if Richter makes comparisons between Zelda and Maria who at the time of his game was 12 while he was 19. Yeah maybe not make that a ship.

 

[Red Dead Redeemed]

sigh... time to start shipping.

Naw, he'd think of her just like Maria and treat her like a little sister (plus he's married yo). But hey, shipping is just good fun at the end of the day, you do you dude.

Cause it depends on if Richter makes comparisons between Zelda and Maria who at the time of his game was 12. Yeah maybe not make that a ship.

Also this. Ulitmate Zelda looks way too young for him. Then again Richter got that JoJo thing going on so maybe he's actually younger than he looks? I duuno.

Unrelated note. I'm changing my avatar to this if Shantae gets in as my act of victory:

Spoiler: Smug Shantae

I noticed that Richter is 19 in Rondo of Blood, so he’s not as old as I thought, but my point still stands either way.

Also I love that face. Das a good face.

Can somebody please draw that picture, just swapping out Shantae for Rotty?

 

[Grimacebsx]

I’m kinda curious as to how they came up with that acronym, though at the same time I’m kinda afraid to hear the answer...

Well the way risky boots puts it is (according to the wiki) Part Omni-Organic, Partially Titanic, Ocean-Optional Tinkerslug. As far as wayforward who knows maybe accidental? I'm a little surprised me and dylly said that at the same time though lol!

Lol I'll just use the adult zeldas

(plus he's married yo)

Unfortunately this never matters in ships oof

 

[Red Dead Redeemed]

To be fair, his fiance is just kinda...there. Just a very typical damsel in distress with little personality as was common during that era of gaming, so it's easy to see why she's ignored so much.

 

[Luigifan18]

Oooh, I love pinball! I'd definitely be interested in seeing some sort of Shantae pinball title.

Here I am, having an essay involving the efficacy of drug laws due by the end of the weekend, and yet the only drug I can focus on being Smash speculation and cute genies.

Livin' the dreeeeeam.

This is gonna be the worst newcomer ever

???: I don’t think so you blockhead

Steve: who dares say that?

???:GUH-HUH

Banjo & kazooie get jiggly!!

(B&k Brings shantae out of her misery)

Shantae dances into battle!!!

How many times have I said guh huh?

I should probably join the banjo thread.

Believe it or not... I have never actually played Banjo Kazooie. I had a N64 as a kid, but I wasnt aware of what games were really popular aside from Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64. Is there even a legitimate way to play it anymore besides on Nintendo 64?

You have an Xbox?

I think they're on the Rare Replay collection on Xbox One.

[LunarLiv]

So if Shantae does make it in, what are some stuff y'all are hoping she'll come with?

I'm hoping she'll bring some of the Mighty Switch Force OST with her (Considering Officer Mode is part of Half Genie Hero), it has some fantastic tracks in it and they'd be great for Smash! Also hopefully some trophies of other WayForward characters like Patricia Wagon.

>Xbox One

Cries in Playstation 4

Look on the bright side! We have a whole bunch of rad exclusives. Poor Xbox One has most of its games on PC as well

 

[Red Dead Redeemed]

At least for the most part we got better exclusives. PS4 and XB1 pretty much swapped places from the PS3 and XB360 days.

 

[Jupiter Ivan]

Just popping in from the Isaac thread to say I think Shantae would be a great addition to Smash. I’ll admit I’ve never played her games, but I know she has a long standing history with Nintendo despite being an Indie character. If any Indie rep gets a spot on the roster, she definitely deserves it.

So here’s hoping my Earth Shaking Adept and your Half Genie Hero both make it in!

 

[Wademan94]

I’m surprised how many people from the Isaac thread have come to offer their support here
