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

[meleebrawler]

Have you guys watched this?

I just noticed one final touch in that clip: the one challenging the puppet to a fight is the Inkling. As in a Warp Squid or Squid Baron?

 

[MajestyIndigo]

Hey, something rather heartwarming just happened. Guess what art tweet Wayforward has finally retweeted after all this time?

There was a problem fetching the tweet

You can tell that the reveal of Shantae being in as a spirit relieved much tension off of them.

I can't wait for them to become silent again... If you know what I mean

I mean, at least if that happened, this time they'd still be able to answer some questions about Smash...

Nice to see this. Yeah, I wanted her playable, but I was actually still happy when I saw her in the trailer because it's a good thing that she appeared at all.

Yeah. It was a bit sad to see she wasn't going to make the base roster, but the fact she got any recognition (let alone recognition as focused as it was in the direct) was definitely something to get excited for. Sakurai knows she exists, and the focus on her shows that they might also be aware of her popularity!

We got their attention, so now we just need to make it clear we want her in as a fighter!

Not to mention, the trend of possession seems to have focused heavily on both her and Samus. Needless to say, it's great potential for a popularity booster in her favor.

Here's hoping that Spirits come with bios.

Oh, don't mind me. Just in the process of writing what I think Rotty's bio could be like.

Shantae's casual clothing there is great.

 

[Jave]

By the way, since Shantae is identified as being part of the "Shantae series" in her Spirit, do you think we may see other Shantae characters as Spirits? I'm not expecting a whole lot, but maybe Risky and Rotty could show up.

 

[Wademan94]

I really am sorry, Wademan94 . I was just trying to joke there, I didn't mean to come off as harsh.

For future reference however, try not to compare Rotty to Yoshi, at least when I'm present anyway.

I thought it was obvious from my overly dramatic reply there, but harm done dude, I was honestly more surprised with how savage you were being, but yeah, it’s cool dude, you’re fine.

As for that last comment tho...we’ll see

I cant even think of a way they are similar except they are both green....except Yoshi can be other colors but green...

...They really aren't that similar.

I mentioned it earlier, but I figured it’d be appropriate for a zombie to be represented by a fighter who eats their opponents. But yeah I’ll switch over to something else

Sorry I’m just catching up to this, haven’t had much break time yet

Not just in the Direct, but smack dab in the trailer for the Adventure Mode. So even if someone just watches the trailers that came out and skips out on the whole half hour of Spirits(Okay, not really that long, but it kinda feels like it lol), when they watch that epic story trailer, they will see Shantae!

 

[MajestyIndigo]

Would be nice to take this poll and vote Shantae for the wanted DLCs :

Just to show we're here :D

And the views on just that trailer are still growing, as of the time when I’m typing this, it’s at 4.8 million, our girl’s gonna get so much attention from this!

In the everyone is here poster I think Daisy still needs to interact with someone. Incin was added to spot, and now things make more sense.

Spoiler

But daisy seems like she's interacting with someone that's not there.

Spoiler

There are a few other things that seem off about the poster. Bowser Jr. Seems to in a weird spot behind Ganondorf. I think later they might put him next to the piranha plant.

 

[logicandreason]

anyone know who the voice actors for zelda and incineraor were? they sound familiar.

Incineroar was voiced by the late Unsho Ishizuka, who sadly passed away this past summer due to esophageal cancer...

This means Heihachi and Joseph Jostar lost their second seiyuus...

Here’s Incineroar’s Japanese voice actor (RIP):

Incineroar was voiced by the late Unshō Ishizuka who voiced professor oak in the Pokémon anime JP

Press F to pay respect everyone


Also I feel like Zelda was voiced by Cristina vee.

It's nice seeing Zelda get even more voice acting.

Oh my god, zferolie, you actually liked a post?

This is the first time I've ever seen you doing that.

Who should portray risky and rotty?

Was this comic translated to English?

"Selled" is a very weird word.

 

[KoopaSaki]

I had an idea...

Remembering how the Geno, Shantae, and Isaac communities supported each other during speculation, why not have a bit of a comic or fanart series with them interacting, perhaps with the ultimate goal of all of them becoming fighters?

I for one would love to contribute to that. I think I'll go make some fanart of that later.

 

[Shadowknight1]

So I'm sure I've said it already, but screw it. Been thinking about it, so here are my wants for DLC.

1. Shantae, of course.
2. Geno.
3. Banjo Kazooie.
4. Tails.
5. Elma.

I could substitute Dixie into either of the last two slots and I wouldn't be upset.

My man, you nailed it perfectly, art-wise, but for future reference that should be sold, not selled.

while im flattered you think i can draw this good i would like to point out the "by Zenox-furry-man" at the bottom.

...... **head-thunk** I saw that, and yet my brain didn't even register how wrong that was. I'm having one of those off days.

ANYWAYS! I really want to ask Matt Bozon if he believes we can make that much of a difference, and if so, how we can make ourselves be heard to Sakurai.

Don't worry about it. If i had a nickel for every sill mistake I've made i wouldn't have to work and be every stores worst nightmare.

He just asked us to do so. That should be answer enough to whether he believes in us, unless you think he's a filthy liar.

Here is non twitter pick I found on Know Your Meme. A bit on the bigger side, so it is in a spoiler.

Anyway, really hope there will be some crossover art between Shantae and other potential fighters soon. That stuff is always sweet to see.
