It's actually pretty great news that shantae has 2 spirits in the game :O

Looking at the list of spirits, it looks like all the fighters have their own spirit. That would be good but I thought I heard that 'fighter' spirits can't be used? So that could be a good thing or a bad thing. depending on what it means.

Well she gets her own world so it’s probably a good thing

Hey guys look at what I found an insider named ryce said this about you know who

“Vergeben has been saying there would be Minecraft content in Smash since June, long before Nintendo and Sakurai made the DLC roster plans. If that piece of information was legitimate I probably would have heard about it over the summer. It sounds to me like Vergeben is pivoting to the Minecraft content being DLC to save face for bad intel.

(I'm not saying Minecraft DLC is an impossibility -- I just don't think Vergeben actually knows anything about the DLC.)”

Welp looks like that Microsoft representation could be banjo

13 Days Remaining

Tomorrow is starting the countdown with the original 12 that started it all

View attachment 179484View attachment 179485
Allow me to do the 12 day countdown

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but another bit of Shantae content has been found in Ultimate:

Someone is going through the spirits datamine and Risky Boots is confirmed to be a spirit
Who’s she gonna possess?

Yo everyone, what's up?

Still supporting Shantae here, just taking a small break before the game releases in two weeks (preinstalled it already!).

It's *Minecraft* representation, not *Microsoft,* and apparently there is Minecraft in the base game of some sort.

Also, I don't trust anyone who claims to know when the DLC plans were finalized.

Yeah, I knew something was fishy about that. Only thing he got left going for him right now is "Square DLC character".

Also...Ridley? He's a pirate and purple. Might explain that odd pose in his illustration.

Ooooof world of light cut scenes have been leaked, please beware.
Alright, time to go into info blackout mode.

No Snashboards, no Reddit, no GameFaqs, etc.

Also would be wise to avoid multiplayer games with chat functionality (Team Fortress 2 for example) as someone is guaranteed to post spoilers there.

I'll say this, theres more then 2 cut scenes so that's cool.
Anybody got that shopped pic of Sakurai with glowing eyes? This would be the right time for it.
Indeed, I feel so bad for sakurai. If only those copies didn't get out so early.

If we even get microsoft content. Hell not even sure on SE content anymore looking how little SE let Sakurai use their stuff already.

i have heard rumors that ender dragon is a boss but that may be a lie. I think they are still lookin g at mii costumes

Easy to ignore them, they aren't on youtube but random sites. Made sure to make a note of where not to go :)

Hey guys: sorry for my general inactivity as always. I have to admit now that I'll be busy/inactive again in a few days as I'll be flying down to Japan for a study abroad related trip and the plane flight to Japan is not going to be fun... alongside adjusting to the timezones there, so we'll see. In terms of when I return, that'll be on December 10th, so I'll be a bit behind on Ultimate. Either way, the rest of the trip should be quite interesting either way, though.

I wont be looking into it.
I dont think it's that big of a deal if it gets spoiled tho. Could be wrong, but I think the story's just there to make the adventure :)

Remember that there is a reason why Kirby was chosen to survive Galeem's attack. Just don't spoil it until December 7th.

The game's already being hacked. It's just a matter of time before it's all out there.

Try not to spoil it for those who care, I guess.
I'm curious about everything else besides the story ;p.

I find it a bit unfair for Shovel Knight to have more representation than Shantae ( so far )...
Maybe, but with Shovel Knight assisted he's unlikely to get any more. If Shantae gets in we'll most likely have a plethora of spirits to go with her.

Looking at the list of spirits, it looks like all the fighters have their own spirit. That would be good but I thought I heard that 'fighter' spirits can't be used? So that could be a good thing or a bad thing. depending on what it means.
Apparently Piranha Plant was not found among the spirits. But a counterpoint exists in that it was clearly planned and developed early enough to avoid having a redundant spirit, like everyone else in the base roster.
I find this inherently funny, since WayForward originally wanted Risky to be a ghost pirate.
And now Shantae and Risky are in a position where they must work together against a common foe, once again. Them being trapped and forced into servitude... almost like a certain pirate's curse, no?

Pretty much, as long as I don't see gameplay for anything original to the game or World Of Light I'm fine with being spoiled. Seeing the final boss in a thumbnail doesn't tell me what it can do, after all.

Yeah, im not worried about spoilers.

As for the plant not being in the list. Well that's not good for any spirits (for dlc). It may not matter at all tho.
In the end, we don't know. But there's plenty to enjoy in any case.

Maybe that reason for 4 not having a story mode isnt that far fetched anymore.

Honestly it because he knows what to do. How many times has he taken down gods and beings of mass destruction?

It doesn't help, but contrary to popular belief, it doesn't hurt either.

The last time we got a DLC announcement prior to a game's release, was for the Wii U. The 3DS version was already out for some time, along with it's Mewtwo trophy. So it's likely Mewtwo as DLC wasn't considered until near the end of development. We don't have that prior release muddying things up for the Plant, though; he was far enough done to have a gameplay trailer in his announcement before release, whereas Mewtwo only had a model until much later. For all intents and purposes, Piranha Plant was treated like a base roster character.

Well it does hurt. I just doesnt deconfirm anything, since it's all up in the air. Who knows what nintendo really is planning for dlc. If I were them I wouldnt let a spirit stop a suggestion for a playable character. So it all comes down to what nintendo suggested (+sakurai).

Avoiding all World of Light spoilers for the next two weeks is going to be a pain. I'm purposely avoiding all open spoilers threads, and I hope people are kind enough not to spoil it here.

To me, only if it's completely original to the Smash game and not officially revealed by Nintendo. Most other remixes, even new ones, are only half-spoilers at best since you likely know how the original sounds anyway.

Someone told me some rather interesting things on Discord. Apparently there is a Shantae online avatar available.

Now is our chance to flood the online playerbase with cute genie avatars!
We will put her on our tags and when we lose their tag lists will be full of Shantae, so no matter what they will notice Shantae, whether they like it or not.
