OMG no this is too stressful xD

By the way, can anyone of you provide me with an english link for the direct ? Because I keep finding french ones

I'm gonna be salty as **** if Shantae is an Assist Trophy, but @Connorb0t2 is super right. Let's show some class as a fanbase if that happens. It's still way better than nothing. Plus I still think ATs getting upgraded to playable fighters is a DLC possibility.



Well in that case, regardless of whether it's real, which of the Grinch characters would you guys be most excited to see join the roster?

For me it's probably Isaac, despite not playing much Golden Sun back in the day. I know a couple people who would be thrilled to have him in the game, especially my brother. Plus I just started playing some Golden Sun on Wii U VC, so I'm starting to feel some of the hype for him firsthand now.
Dont worry about that, we'll deal with it if it comes to it.
Looking to see her in all her glory! Well, keeping open :D

Well guys: today's the day of the Smash Direct. No matter what happens in this direct, we'll stick together. I feel that regardless of the result, we should be respectful of what we see and not get frustrated or sad if Shantae isn't confirmed as a character or just isn't in the Direct at all. At this point, that is all I ask of all of you, alright? :)

Here's my bingo card before I head off:

It's so weird that we've only known about this game for a relatively short time. Now we are less than an hour away from the final reveals. I won't be able to watch it live, so best of luck to us all. Let us dance through the danger one more time. #ShantaeForSmash!

Ladies and Gentlemen we are reaching our final destination of the last Direct. As we approach our stop please fasten your seat belts and keep your speculation-tables in the upright position. We hope you enjoy your ride on Sakurai's hype train and hope to serve you again another time.
But without further ado...
LET THE FESTIVITIES COMMENCE

It's been the shortest wait for any Smash game and yet it's felt like the longest to me.

You know something guys this year Nintendo had a Mini Direct on 1. 11. 2018 while today is 11. 1. 2018 Smash Direct. Maybe a clue? Maybe not.

Not even Brawl? Geez, but I can understand that.
I was super pumped for Brawl coming, but I don't remember feeling this level of constant anticipation.

I still remember watching the reveal for Meta Knight with my brother though. Probably the character we wanted most at the time. As soon as we watched it we were both like, "hmmm, super fast with a sword and can fly.... yeah he's gonna be totally busted".

The most nervous part is that it feels like we've all been on a journey, and its all culminating into this one 40-minute direct...

It hurts knowing that I'll never rectify my first post in this thread, in which I just scolded someone, for being harsh.

Simpler times.
Don't carry your regrets with you. All is forgiven here in the Shantae thread lol.

logicandreason logicandreason That profile picture is amazing, do you have the original fan art handy?

EDIT: Damn actually all of you have some amazing fan art in your profile pictures, we need a collection of these in the OP.

15 more minutes! It's been a wild ride, everyone. Let's hope for the best for Shantae.

Does anyone have a link to an English Direct? The chat always ruins it for me on YouTube.

Well folks, this is it.

I remember before August the thread barely had even 1/100 of the pages it has today.

Let us hope our Genie is RET-2-GO!

You know, whoever posted that GamingIntel link where they said Banjo-Kazooie was out of the base roster makes me fairly happy, because if they're out that means the grinch leak is already kill.

I'm going to be watching the Direct in a few minutes, so I won't be posting here until after it's over. I wish our half-genie get's in.
