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

[Biometal]

If it pertains to anyone else here:
The Discord Server for #ShantaeForSmash is now unavailable to the public until further notice, due to another wave of lowly-wretch scum storming in solely to dish out slews of explicitly suggestive images.

Please, don't any of you ever become bored to such an extent.

Edit: It still exists, but no invites will work, as far as I'm aware.

Understandable. Discord raids are pretty frustrating to deal with, and sometimes the only way you can is by disabling invitations for awhile.

 

[Teeb147]

That's weird. Shouldn't those users who posted the images be dealt with? Well i guess i dont know how it works but if they're reported i would guess something will be done,.. hopefully.

There are assholes in the world. Thankfully there are good people too.

 

[LunarLiv]

Yeah... it's just annoying that people have nothing better to do than act like bratty kids, but what are ya gonna do really, it's the internet. Where all the **** kids come out to play!

 

[GoldLiger]

Maybe we should get a private Discord and anyone who joins will do so via Private Mail that way we can control who goes in or not.

 

[meleebrawler]

You judgin' our boy Bolo for living under the sea like a fish?

SMH

That reminds me, if we get Shantae spirits besides the half-genie herself, and since there are "dojos" where certain spirits can teach styles to others, wouldn't be neat if Bolo was one of them, in reference to his ending quote of Half-Genie Hero?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

"Hey, @MrBozon, I was wondering if I could ask you a question... is Rottytops open for a relationship?"

Hey guys, I think I’ve found the real-world equivalent of Wrench:

But I always thought he was a crossbreed between a Finch and a Wren, hence the name, "Wrench".

 

[logicandreason]

Morning people. Everyone doing alright this morning? I saw a wrench was thrown in the gears last night.

I'm alright, still feeling a little drowsy though.

How are you?

The Shantae Discord's not holding up too well. We get raids and one of the raiders mooned AlphaStoutland, among others within the club. While I did report him to Twitter, I doubt they'll go through with this entire thing. They tugged his damned heartstrings and exploited him and I'm actually quite pissed off about it!

I hate when radiers do that just ignore them they aren’t that s.p.e.c.i.a.l. Speaking of raiders......I’ve just got word that another settlement needs your help I’ll mark it right on your map.

New trailer(well more like Commercial)

[zferolie]

so did I miss anything important or people still just going back and forth on in or not, freaking out, and then feeling better, rinse and repeat?

Seems to me that things are a bit more calm right now. The dust is settling, and people are memin', or whatever.

I've been making sense of how I feel about different characters in ultimate after watching a lot of gameplay, and I think I've pretty much figured out the characters that I'm going to use. It's not exactly what I expected before, but I'm glad with how it is for now.

I did make a 'post your roster' screenshot of my gang, if anyone wants to see.

Yeah, things are pretty calm right now, which is alright.

And sure! I'd love to see your "post your roster" picture.
Also, I see you switched your main from Isabelle, to Daisy.

Yup, I switched quite a few things around, but I'm pretty confident in my picks, at least until we get to play n everything.

Im Ok, never more never less. Though did just get an unusual taunt.

Spoiler: Some tf2 smash jokes

 

[zferolie]

I'm in the process of making a Pyra and Mythra support thread. I feel real confident we will get XB2 DLC due to how massive of a success it was, and if rex is out due to being a Mii costume(who knows), then I till think Pyra and Mythra can be in and work like OG Zelda and Shiek. May take some time becuase... I haven't played the game in awhile and still need to finish it(Got too distracted by other games) so trying to remember their moves and formulate how Mythra and prya would fight differently other then their B specials Or maybe it would be more subtle changes for the A moves. Plus also finding lots of good fanart for the thread,

But I don't see Mythra and Pyra working without a driver (Rex) :/ It would go against their game itself.
Unless I missed something and an Aegis can be independent ?
I'll support anyway since these are great characters ! ^_^

Well in cutscenes we see them fighting with their sword themselves, and we know drives can fight on their own, as you see with Malos, Jin, and a certain character I won't say for spoiler reasons. It makes sense that they could, and I can see it happening for smash.

And lets be real honest here. Who do people like more? Rex, or Pyra and Mythra?

Great translation.

I'd say that the part about teachers, oysters, and Hikawa, are supposed to be separate from the bit about Shantae, but that's a just a guess. So, could this be an ad, or something?

That's true I remember now :D
Honestly I love Rex equally as much as I love the other two. But being able to directly play as Pyra and Mythra would be a-ma-zing ! The idea is growing on me !! :D

It's most likely a magazine issue with manga in it, and maybe has a guest appearance/drawing of shantae somewhere in it, mostly as an ad for HGH.

Would definitely support that thread! Pyra/Mythra was one of the next DLC characters that I was going to start making support videos for

Oh I forgot, in Torna DLC< you actually can switch to control the Blade instead of the driver, as shown here showing some mythra attacks. I actually haven't played this expansion yet, but I have seen this and this is how I thought of making them playable without Rex.

Yeah thats probably what it is, but thats still really cool for Shantae. And more evidence of her growing popularity in japan, and maybe how she has a decent chance even with nintendo picking!

Would definitely support that thread! Pyra/Mythra was one of the next DLC characters that I was going to start making support videos for

nice! I hope to have this thread done tonight. I really should beat XB2, get more blades, do the NG+ and tower, and do Torna... *cries due to so much games

Well, I like that at least they were able to fight at some point. I look forward to seeing your thread.
Maybe they'd pick them because we already have lots of guys (including shulk already) and it'd be a good opportunity for pyra (and mythra too could be cool)

Yeah, I feel like they were able to do this due to the smaller blade pool. I kinda like it better myself, just from a visual side.

And yeah, Nintendo knows they have a VERY strong Waifu game with these 2, and it would be crazy not to bank on that

Again, I shall vote, as long as them making a Shantae Nendoroid means they'd swiftly follow that up with a Rotty one...

Are you guys forgetting what sakurai said about dlc

Xc2 was announced after planing for dlc had started which probably started on 2015 so he couldn’t add xc2 characters in it. that includes fe3h gen8 Pokémon and rabbids. so titles from 2017,18,19 cannot be included.


And before you sayhe was perfect timing for finalizing dlc for smash4 IMO

We didd talk about this already.
It's unclear whether he meant for base roster or for dlc.

Uhh, I dont know if it's worth discussing it with you though.

Not just in gameplay... the reason these blades are as beloved as they are is because of their interactions with everyone, including Rex or Addam. Take that away and they're just waifus, or worse, literally nothing as they need a driver to basically exist. I don't understand how a costume is any more of a deconfirmation than a spirit is.

People dont use the costume as deconfirmation. It's where and how they talked about it. You have to add the context.
It's like, in example, if I say I kicked a ball so I was disqualified from being in a team. It only makes sense when I add something like that I was at tryouts (and maybe didnt do well).

 

[Wademan94]

But I always thought he was a crossbreed between a Finch and a Wren, hence the name, "Wrench".

I meant personality wise, I think that’s him.

I wonder if it’d even be possible to crossbreed a wren and finch in real life, let alone one that’d actually look like Wrench in body shape.

"Hey, @MrBozon, I was wondering if I could ask you a question... is Rottytops open for a relationship?"

I’m actually kinda curious as to what Matt’s response to that answer would be,

You guys were talking about xc2 character for dlc that’s why I had to inform you all

The only way to deconfirm the character is not coming into smash are these points:

1. the creator of that said character confirms that he/she is not coming to smash (Ex. Dante from Devil May Cry series)
2. all 5 DLC spots are filled and with no continuation of them making more.

Mii costume doesn't really hold a lot of value until the end of DLC production. So, we are still playing the waiting game.
