Now that is a bit discouraging. however that just makes matts deleted tweet more suspicious. Almost as if it was a breach of contract or something......

Tha ks. I dont think this means no shantae. Nintendo could have picked her still. Until wayforward says otherwise we are still in the running.Okay, here you go:
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s DLC line-up is now complete. This time the selection was made entirely by Nintendo. I decide if we can create a fighter based on their selection, then come up with the plan.

This doesn't deconfirm Shantae, it just confirms what I already assumed. Basically, if you want your character in Smash you submit them to Nintendo, and if Nintendo wants your character they'll ask you; regardless this compiles a list and then Sakurai decides who gets in and who doesn't.Okay, here you go:

I thought 3 houses started development in 2017?This spells good for Edelgard tho

So... nothing about this speculation and support was in any way fun for you? Besides, you could also interpret your "Nintendo only cares about marketing" line of thought as using Shantae to market Nindies.Just saw Sakurai's tweet and it took the wind out of my goddamn sails. Nintendo being the ones who decided the characters just confirms that we're only getting advertisements for fighters and now I can only hope Sora or Rex are one of them. I'll see you guys again if a season 2 gets announced but for now I have to bow out, I just don't have it in me anymore and I am NOT looking forward to random gen 8 Pokemon and new FE Lord.
I'm guessing Shantae might of been chosen for the first 5 DLC characters.I've heard that Sakurai has made some tweets regarding DLC, and, apparently he stated that all of the DLC characters were chosen by Nintendo...
Huh.
No that was just the announcement about it, in january 2017. They'd have been working on it before that.I thought 3 houses started development in 2017?
Well let’s hope she doesn’t end up as corin 2.0No that was just the announcement about it, in january 2017. They'd have been working on it before that.
At the very least she'll be an axe wielder, something we dont have yet, and unlike corrin's game, I think, this one will release not just in japan in time. Should be fineWell let’s hope she doesn’t end up as corin 2.0
Nah, if anything, it goes back to my point that they got way ahead of themselves. Besides, if anything he was saying to still support her for a season pass of 5 more characters. Even if that was hinting at a second pass, it wouldn't confirm that she's a fighter.Now that is a bit discouraging. however that just makes matts deleted tweet more suspicious. Almost as if it was a breach of contract or something......
Basically that (man you guys are quick I can't even get a post in without someone already addressing a point). Here's hoping this doesn't happen.Man, now I'm really worried. I feel like with this Matt could end up killing our hopes in a matter of hours. He could send out a tweet telling people to stop using the hashtag and harassing Nintendo and basically confirm Shantae isn't in.
He said it was a joke, and he probably thought 4 of 5 due to the piranha plant. I dont think he knows much about dlc.Nah, if anything, it goes back to my point that they got way ahead of themselves. Besides, if anything he was saying to still support her for a season pass of 5 more characters. Even if that was hinting at a second pass, it wouldn't confirm that she's a fighter.
It's naive to assume simply ramping up support near a game's release will result in a different outcome.You guys are fast, I just saw that tweet but it's already been posted.
Not going to lie, I'm a bit nervous seeing that. I'm by no means abandoning ship, I'm supporting our girl to the end. Butas far as the first wave of DLC goes, we're going to have to hope those at Nintendo who are deciding see marketing Shantae as a good move to have her included in DLC.
Failing that, if wave 2 happens, go from there.
The only thing that would make me truly worried is if Matt retracts us from campaigning as a result of Sakurai's message.
Basically that (man you guys are quick I can't even get a post in without someone already addressing a point). Here's hoping this doesn't happen.
As they say, "It ain't over 'till the fat lady sings"
Great news for me then...I guess this means this thread will most likely be alive til 2020, lol.
It has indeed been fun, which is why I said I'll be back to campaign for our girl if we get season 2 confirmation, but at the same time I'd be lying if I said I'm not still extremely disheartened after that last Direct (character wise). This is the first Smash game where I didn't get a single one of my most wanted characters, I'm used to characters I want getting hit by the Assist Trophy hammer but usually there was at least one that I wanted that got in and I'd hoped it would be Shantae this time around (or even Shadow or Skull Kid, like wtf). The DLC was a last resort beacon of hope that I'm pretty sure Nintendo is gonna use to promote their latest triple A-listers, I can only hope the Rex Mii costume ends up being a red herring to throw people off while the real Rex is in development, or Square Enix is planning a Switch port of KH3 with Sora in Smash on the horizon. Sorry, but I can't campaign till 2020 when my spirits (get it?) have been beaten into the ground at every turn,So... nothing about this speculation and support was in any way fun for you? Besides, you could also interpret your "Nintendo only cares about marketing" line of thought as using Shantae to market Nindies.
On a another note... holy snap! I just realized yet another thing ZSS has in common with Shantae! Her jet boots could be a stand-in for Risky's Boots!
Well, it'd still be better if she got in as dlc, because then the thread would be immortalized, and we'd have our own shantae section.Great news for me then...
Slighty confused was this directed at me or towards what Matt Bozon is doing?It's naive to assume simply ramping up support near a game's release will result in a different outcome.
If you stop supporting just because of the chance of not getting what you want apparently increases, then it just becomes a death spiral and self-fulfilling prophecy.
No, it's some other things...Well, it'd still be better if she got in as dlc, because then the thread would be immortalized, and we'd have our own shantae section.
I feel ya. Well, drop by once in a while when you feel like it. The thread might become more mellow, but may still be worth chatting once in a while.It has indeed been fun, which is why I said I'll be back to campaign for our girl if we get season 2 confirmation, but at the same time I'd be lying if I said I'm not still extremely disheartened after that last Direct (character wise).

The only way this thread was going to die out is if she became an assist trophy, really. (or straight up deconfirmed by WF)No, it's some other things...
Keep in mind that she is an Ace Spirit, meaning that it won't be an easy fight if the team is weak or you don't have the right countermeasures of characters to fight ZSSSo I watched Gamexplain's World of Light analysis. Their analysis of Shantae's fight is disappointingly shallow.
More importantly, though, her location appears to be southeast of where you start, in case you want to try and nab her early.

Lets hope we do not fall into that category for the ends of Smash HistoryI hope matt doesnt tell the support train to stop, not because its means shantae wont get it, but i feel like all shantae supporters will be catagorized with those people who threatened sakurai for not putting in waluigi
Also some nice artA (very humble) fanart to celebrate Shantae's inclusion in Smash! Congratulations @WayForward !!! Let's see if Shantae can make it even further! pic.twitter.com/HWU8bRFzuX

Yeah about that why can’t they just make her an AT at first?The only way this thread was going to die out is if she became an assist trophy, really. (or straight up deconfirmed by WF)
Then we're back on the NDA conspiracy train.What if Matt and WF became uber silent again?
It's too late now, they're not going to make dlc assist trophies.Yeah about that why can’t they just make her an AT at first?
It was more of general reminder to everyone, I just felt your post evoked the feelings I was hoping to see when I wrote that post.Slighty confused was this directed at me or towards what Matt Bozon is doing?
'cause I wasn't planning on stopping support. But it would be discouraging if Matt backpedaled on his call to action because he didn't know about the recent statement from Sakurai. As in "my bad everyone, please respect Sakurai's descision and don't go campaigning for Shantae" or something along those lines.
