He seems to have already left and found a new job though...

Well I think he doesn't care about being fired knowking that his snapchat story says " **** nintendo lmaoooo" xD
Yeah the Ninjas are coming for him.
What a ****. I do thank him for destroying that Vergeben cult but geez, why do employers hire so many POSs? There are people who beg for jobs like this.

his life in general is ruined as far as the gaming industry.
And that's his own fault.

I actually want this leak to be real. Yeah, I know there's no Shantae, but Isaac, Banjo, and my girl KOS-MOS, would make up for her nonappearance for me.


I mean, Daisy is also doing it here. :/

So, umm... uhh?
Zoinks kos mos would definitely make up shantae for me, but it Also makes sad considering anti-shantae people would think they were right about shantae

Well to be fair, a lot of the Anti-Shantae were also pro-Vergeben.

Did we all forget that Nintendo themselves are doing the marketing for Ultimate not Bandai Namco(in which this company works under). Looks like someone here forgot that little detail.

Welp, if that recent rumor is indeed true, Shantae still has a chance for DLC if she isn't an AT. It's not over until it's over.

And where did you hear that, or have proof of that? Companies many times outsource for marketing, especially if a property has a world wide release

You need to just stop saying things without facts.

Do you really think Nintendo is going to trust BNE after what happened LAST TIME?

Yellowlord might as well start removing people from the Support List now.

Seeing so many people accept these characters and abandon Shantae is just heartbreaking...
Even though, if this leak is somehow real, Shantae could still be DLC later on, as long as she is no Assist Trophy in the base game.


But yeah, it seems this new leak (real or not) single-handledly crippled the support-side of this thread.
And because of this, it feels like I no longer have a place here.

I will keep supporting and rooting for Shantae, until the end.
Until official word finally reveals her fate.


I just feel so burned out...
This mass-abandonment isn't something I needed...

Well bye, it was fun while it lasted.

Good luck to all Issac-supporters, who showed their respect and support for our cause in this thread.
I hope that for your sake, Issac will make it in, regardless of the leak.
You guys deserve it. : 3


Farewell...

I know what you mean.

This thread used to be fun, but now it's people constantly shoving their negativity in everyone's faces and people looking for any excuse to believe that Shantae won't be in Smash. It seems that no mater how often a leak is debunked or evidence is made against it, people will instantly believe it.

I'm taking a break from here for a while.

Way to suck all the fun out of this thread, everyone.

Sounds more like you're butthurt. If anything, I'm glad everyone is not on tantrum mode and proving that all that Anti-Shantae crap about the fans being man-babies was just verbal garbage.

I do not believe this, too many characters who'd need a new moveset compared to the lack of echoes who are obviously easier to make.

Besides, no new femae character ? Really ?

We got Isabelle, and it's clear they were focusing more on fan requested characters, which just so happen to be mostly male.

Heh.
So this is how weak some people here are.
One image leak with a backstory and you crumble?

Also, dlc.

DLC is always a possiblity, and it's likly as long as she aint an assist. Also, I am still not sure on this leak myself, though I do think it would be the dream roster.

The last leak was from the ESRB, marketing had nothing to do with it

Ok, did anyone here say anyone was giving up on shantae? No. We all beleive shantae is still in the game, maybe more likely DLC if this is true. Whats wrong with that at all?

NO ONE IS SAYIONG SHANTAE IS DECONFIRMED! Stop actling like we all think she is dead or something. you need to get off your pity wagon please.

I agree with this. First of all, guys, don't hop on the leak. While it has a fair amount going for it, it is not confirmed, and even some of the biggest names in the Smash Speculation scene are questioning it.

Don't abandon ship the moment there's a bit of an upset.


I personally refuse to fully accept a leak, even this one, until it is 100% confirmed-without-a-doubt, so so far there are still doubts, and there still has not been any confirmation.

Mass support abandonment huh? That's unfortunate, but if the banner proves true there's still DLC. If anything I'd say now is probably the worst time to be jumping ship if you really want a character in. If they continue using the ballot for reference, continuing that support will keep them in the forefront for DLC considerations.

Regardless, if people leave both sides just need to be respectful about it. Making melodrama about it isn't going to do anyone any favors.

Agreed with this on all fronts.

If there were a time to show support for DLC, now is the perfect time!

Sounds good. But im pretty sure this leak is going to get debunked soon enough.
When it does, I hope you look at how you react and ...

Well, i'll stop there, but I'm a bit upset at how easily some people fall for stuff. ****..

People were so desperate for news that they were willing to believe anything. It's not confirmed to be fake, but its just as much not confirmed to be real.

Hey don't count me as a deserter, I'm standing by Shantae till the end, and that includes DLC if it comes down to it. Not that I believe she's anything BUT base roster. She is in! Grrr! You posers get back here and rally! Now then, A friend of mine is saying more than a few insiders are saying this leak isn't lining up with what they've heard. Any of you know what that's all about?

Why abandon ship? To my knowledge there aren't any leaks with these characters that say Shantae is an assist trophy so there's no reason to give up just yet.

Yeh. Well it's like really early with this still. And it might be elaborate, so it'll take at least a little while for people to analyze things.

If anything that happened with Crunchii's troll the other day shows something, people know they can leave clues and people will try to figure it out. Leave the right clues for people to find legit info, and it looks more believable to some.

Well, just wanted to put that, at least for some people to consider.

Look guys, if its fake or if its real, we will find out it 2 weeks, So Lets not say people are "giving up" on shantae here. We all think she is still in, and this may be a very elaberate fake leak, which if it is kudos.

as Wwlink55 Wwlink55 has said, EVERYONE IS STARVED FOR INFO, so a leak looking this legit is going to have everyone going nuts, especially with so much going for it,

We need to just wait and see, but don't start attacking other shantae fans just because this "leaked" roster looks pretty good. Even if we get no more characters this game has an amazing roster, Shantae in or out will not make or break the game for most of us.

They did new pokemon from Alola but no 7th gen newcomer ?

Also, has anyone voted for Ken or Mach Rider during the ballot ? ( I know Mach could be the usual old dusty character taken out of the drawer ).

To answer your second question because the first could happen (especially if they wanted to do Gen 8 DLC)...

Ken I doubt placed on the ballot at all especially since Ryu wasn't a thing at the time.

Mach Rider is retro so ballot does not apply.

I'm not abandoning the ship for me. Rather sink with it and knew, that I was with my half genie hero til the very end.
