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

[Wademan94]

Said much better than I could.

Wait... WHAT IS THAT ROTTYTOPS!?! WHERE'D THAT BRAIN COME FROM!? I AM GENUINELY CONCERNED!

I always wondered why Barracuda Joe was absent in Half-Genie Hero.

I lent my brain to her, of course.

Hope you weren’t expecting to get it back.

I always wondered why Barracuda Joe was absent in Half-Genie Hero.

Well, there's always this quote from Wayforward on the matter:
"Barracuda Joe simply didn't make the cut this story! He's still around though. I think there was originally a plan to incorporate him but we never ended up finding the place."

Hope you weren’t expecting to get it back.

Not at all! She can do whatever she pleases with it.

I know, I mean there’s also this from the credits of Pirate’s Curse so I’m assuming he’s still there:

...Poor Sky, I’d bet she wouldn’t be too impressed that he dumped her for...yeah.

You know the whole "OH MY GOD WATCH OUT DONKEY KONG" meme? I'm now just imagining that with Isaac and the AT people, with the plane being replaced by Galeem's beam.

Samus isn't going to stop dancing until Shantae gets her own body back, is she?

Somehow I don’t think that’ll stop artists.

 

[Aurora Jenny]

I don't think this will ever die, honestly. I wonder if there's any other Shantae spirits to be found. Guess I'll be exploring the game to see.

GUYS!!!

Not shantae related but....

SOMEONE GOT A COPY OF SMASH EARLY!!!!!

Spoiler

Oh genie.

Aurora Jenny i don’t think there are more shantae spirits I think they’re saving them for her dlc pack I think

 

[Kirbeh]

I mean, release is super soon, so it's not surprising honestly.

 

[Deleted member]

He’ll spoil the whole adventure mode tho

Don't watch videos about it then. Do your best to avoid social media and YT.

If people have got their hands on the game, no one can really stop them from posting stuff about it. People are always posting things early, data mining and leaking stuff. While it's unfortunate, the potential to be spoiled is just something we'll have to keep in mind up until release. Business as usual pretty much.

Ok

Let’s just focus back to shantae

Welp Mexico just continues to prove its waste of a country by selling the game earlier for no apparent reason.

That's the thing that kind of concerns me. I mean, I hope that they don't have any data on the potential DLC in the game files, but that's still a very real possibility. And even if not in the base game, update patches sometimes have that tendency to come with future data as well.

I’m sure they won’t put the files in the base game

Oh, I sure do hope so.

(BREAKS INTO WALL)

A SHANTAE TRACK HAS BEEN DISCOVERED!

As I said that info might be not real at all. But according to this from people who already played it this is what they’ve found so far. I couldn’t find a screenshot from the game itself but there you are. pic.twitter.com/dGrjc6sN2b

What dose this mean for her chances is she straight up deconfirmed?

 

[Dukefire]

This is going to be a pain for the final two weeks coming up.

Hang on everyone.

Also, lets try to not post any actual spoilers here about World of Light and the rest of the game. Keep it aside until we can discover it ourselves.

I'm not sure if it hurts her chances...but it sure doesn't help them, in my mind. :/

Which one is Pirate's Cove again?

 

[Deleted member]

That track would go in the other track list

 

[Shinuto]

Please for the love of god dont cover any leaks t hat come around till the game's proper release this is THE ONE PLACE I can actively discuss Smash right now without running into a spoiler, please please PLEASE do not make this board a hazard zone for me and others.

 

[Dukefire]

I don't see Pirate's cove in any of the previous Shantae Games music tracks.

That's a miss on that part

Sry I just found it

Its alright, we all have those outburst moments. Next time, make sure to see if stuff is worth showing with little to no recoil if found fake or just a theory.

 

[LaBeteNoire]

I imagine every Spirit that is being used like Shantae's is (as in one that gets a customized battle) probably comes with a music track to play during the battle.

I don't think it helps or hurts her chances. We will just have to wait and see.

 

[Deleted member]

Guys it’s fake because there is not a 35th track in castlevania

Sakurai said there will be 34 in the 8.8 direct


I’m sorry

 

[Dyllybirdy]

That song doesn't seem to exist, actually. :/

Pirate's Cove music for shantae (according to the twitter post) is nowhere in her 4 games, so it could be a created song or one that doesn't exist.

 

[Shinuto]

anyone have this pic but full size, I accidentally saved a png thumbnail of it instead of the actual pic.

 

[LaBeteNoire]

Looking over the post, it says that it is a list of places (lands/worlds) not songs. So according to that, Pirate's Cove isn;t a song, but a Shantae themed area in the game... Curiouser and curiouser...

I was going to post that exactly but I realized I was gonig commit a double post.

and then I forgot to post once it would longer lead to one...

If this is real, then that kind of gives me hope. What if the theme of DLC is certain spirits reclaiming their bodies? I mean, having worlds for Shantae and Rayman seems odd for characters that only show up as spirits. In world it suggests that their whole Universe exists in the Smash Universe and not just one or two characters.

It's certainly not a sure thing, but we know that the 5 characters are already selected so they could have known ahead of time to add the worlds to the story mode and just fill it in with the characters once they are done...

Or this whole thing could be fake, man,it;s fun to be speculating again...

It is

There’s only 34 castlevania tracks

And that’s a 35 one so yeah

That doesn’t appear to be the case, as I’m pretty sure Yuri Kozukata’s battle just uses the Luigi Mansion music track

 

[Mango The Magician]

I'm confused wouldn't the inclusion of a Shantae area above every other possible area from one of the many many spirits actually greatly help her chances?
