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

[Dukefire]

Shantae looks like she's trying to convince herself that her being a spirit actually means anything besides her chances for DLC getting killed.

Oh and about the spirits deconfirming fighters thing...

Note: This is a Fighter Spirit.

Fighter Sprits are separate from Normal Spirits and can't be equipped to fighters, meaning they can't just change an existing spirit to a fighter spirit if they end up being DLC, so Shantae HAS been deconfirmed after all.

But there might still be Smash 6/7! If we want a chance, then that's where we shoot for!

There are characters that have multiple spirits for their representation in smash. If one can't be equipped, another would. It still doesn't mean it stops shantae from joining Smash as DLC since that arguement is countered hard by Lucas and Mewtwo's position back in Smash 4 before returning as DLC Fighters

 

[Paragon-Yoshi]

Uh yeah they can. All they have to do is use a different piece of art, like something from Pirate's Curse. That's literally what they did for Kaptain K. Rool.

So? That does not mean Shantae could not get her own different fighter spirit if she gets in, like how Mewtwo and Lucas got there own fighter trophies separate from those regular trophies.

I can only give you one advice:

Sorry got to poke the troll.

Can you just stop. You are just veing a negitive nancy, a jerk, and rude to all the shantae fans here. All you do is tell us she jas no chance and yo give up on thos game, and wsit till maybe 2 ga.es from now. That is stupid, and just trying to yoset and anger people.

I do not like to tell people this but you, if you do not change your attitude, get out of this thread and dont come back

 

[EarlTamm]

You know, I am curious if assist trophies get spirits as well. Does anyone have any word on that?

 

[MajestyIndigo]

I'd just like to remind you guys that I've seen a normal ( I believe ) Peach spirit equiped which backs up the fact that characters can have more than one spirit to represent them and that these spirits can very well be "main" ones and not just support ones
Look :

I'm press sure it's confirmed. I remember Shovel Knight getting a Spirit as well at some point in the direct.

Yes they 100% sure do. I've seen Mario with a Shovel Knight one ( when he knocks Pikachu out )

Good to know. Hey, do we know what tier that Shovel Knight spirit is?

 

[Dyllybirdy]

So everyone having fun today? Just relaxing today, ordered some pizza and gonna watch a bunch of psyche episodes, maybe do some gaming. What are you guys doing today?

I'm not doing so well at the moment.

 

[Shadowknight1]

Okay guys. Nothing is deconfirmed. If anything, Matt actively getting us involved means that he hasn't been told "There's no way she's getting in." It's gonna be a while, but let's just keep supporting and dancing through the danger here.

On a related note, Matt's tweet has been liked 5,000+ times in just 17 hours. This goes to show that we, as a whole, have NOT given up, nor should we!

You know, um, this has definitely, already been established.

We are not ever giving up, do not worry.

 

[logicandreason]

You know if she does get in I have a feeling sakurai's going to start off with a joke about removing her from the game.

 

[RockOfMind]

Never gonna lose hope for our favorite Half Genie Hero. Don't let others get under your skin, stay confident and level headed.

 

[Shadow Novus]

Hi all! I removed my previous tweet since the jokey "4 out of 5" hashtag was confusing to a lot of folks. Please keep showing your amazing fan support by using the usual (and more effective) hashtags! Thank you! pic.twitter.com/MUrgd5GryJ

Despite that, he wants us to keep showing support, so who are we to argue! FAN THE FLAMES MY COMRADES!

 

[Hollywoodrok12]

I apologize for my pessimistic behavior. I'll go and talk about the whole spirits debacle elsewhere.

Me, trying to see if that's Real Peach or Rabbid Peach.

I'm legit unsure about it.

And without fail, his next comment completely ignores you and responds to someone else instead, that doesn't go against him.
If that doesn't tell you that trying to reason with him in any way is futile, I don't know what does.

Seriously, block him and save yourself the trouble of dealing with him.
Nothing else you can do...

Since it appears that you don't know how Rabbid Peach looks like ( or just pretend not to know ) :

 

[Shadowknight1]

Well, in his defense, it was a little confusing. He's still not shutting us down though! #ShantaeForSmash! ....now we gotta get those likes back up again.

 

[Hollywoodrok12]

Since it appears that you don't know how Rabbid Peach looks like ( or just pretend not to know ) :

It probably is actually Real Peach. I guess I just felt the render was a bit off because I don't remember seeing it anywhere.

Fine I'll leave. Just don't be 100% sure I won't come back, because I actually unironnically support this character and care if they do or don't ever get in as a fighter.

What did I just say?

Seriously, stop feeding him already. >-<

He appears to give Shantae enough importance to frequent this thread and I'm not one to kick out any supporters since we need as many of them as we can. He may be a troll... or just have different ways to "support" and think. He does get under my skin everytime he brings his negativity here but anyhow, such conversations make this thread bigger.
Let's be patient on every level

Well he is always doing the exact opposite of supporting.
Always telling us how she is deconfirmed, that she'll never make it in and force his views on everyone, trying to make everyone believe his way.
That's not supporting at all.
And it's for that reason, that he is not a supporter in my book, but a simple troll, trying to make people feel bad.

Here's a wild idea: Why in the hell would Sakurai put a fighter spirit of an unrevealed DLC fighter in the base game? That sounds a bit counterintuitive dontcha think buddy?

 

[Shadowknight1]

Just remember, with any way you show support...

 

[Teeb147]

Hi everyone.
I've been feeling into things, and I'm not able to get over some of the stuff that's been going on, right now. So while I'll still be around, I may slow down things, and won't support WF for now unless I can see some resolution, either in general, with all this, or in my own feelings and mind. I've voiced my thoughts and feelings, and I dont want to sound like a broken record or get in the way of the motivation I've seen around, so I'll try not to push my own negativity. I'm glad if people can get behind it and and put positive energy for getting her into smash. I look forward to seeing where it goes, and I'll find my own flow, whatever that is.

I encourage everyone to simply be true to themselves, as well as be considerate of others as much as they can
Keep going along the way that feels good to you

Hi it's me again.
I know this isn't Shantae related and that I should probably post this in the Geno thread, but Geno is NOT a spirit, he is a profile picture icon for the Battle Arena mode, which means he is not deconfirmed to be playable. Just making sure you knew

He still could be a spirit.
We likely won't know until launch.

Idk, why did they put a trophy of Mewtwo in the game when they were pretty sure they were gonna put Mewtwo as the first DLC fighter?

 

[Deleted member]

He's not. Battle Arena is an online mode. Spirits don't work online. He's still a possibility.

 

[Teeb147]

He maybe meant that he could also still have a spirit in the game. Which wouldn't mean anything bad. We saw Peach and Wii fit trainer as spirits, and I've heard other stuff too like that. It's like stickers, in a way.

Well he wants to keep the dlc train going, but with an easier hashtag maybe? Still i think he is pushing for her for dlc, and we should too

Don't forget K. Rool

That seems to be the case. That hashtag was a bit weird, but it shows something about him that he heard said confusion and made not of it like this.

To be fair #ShantaeForSmashDLC is easier to type than #ShantaeForFourOutOfTheFiveSmashDLCs.

 

[Deleted member]

That's not what I said.
I mean we haven't seen all the spirits. So it's still possible he's both an icon and a spirit.

But I don't think either of them deconfirmed him for smash.

 

[WingedSupernova]

Idk, why did they put a trophy of Mewtwo in the game when they were pretty sure they were gonna put Mewtwo as the first DLC fighter?

Those two don't compute. Being a fighter spirit means you are a fighter, and would therefore spoil the DLC surprise.

Being a trophy and later being made a fighter is entirely reasonable and leads more credence to the idea that Sakurai does NOT plan the DLC fighters until he's planned all the spirits and base roster.

It's entirely reasonable with that line of thinking to believe in Spirits being possible DLC, especially since Mewtwo and Lucas were the first two DLC fighters revealed for Smash 4. Shantae as a result could be next.

If Daisy is both a spirit and playable, as well as Wii Fit and K. Rool, then Geno has a chance. The same goes for Shantae, as well

Isn't that what I am saying? That having a spirit does not effect potential future DLC inclusion like how the trophies did not effect it.

 

[Teeb147]

Geno definitely has a strong chance. I'm sure sakurai will still base some of them on character votes. I could see Geno and Bandana dee being the first two.
