That's really cool! :)

But, um, why did you choose Yakko's World, in particular?

Well Peacock references cartoons in her game, and I thought it would be amusing to have her sing that. plus she does do a little singing herself. She was more then happy to do it, and had a lot of fun

I feel like the skullgirls cast loves doing anything related to the game. They frequently played the game on voicesofgaming, and I think those playthroughs actually inspired some of the alternate voicepacks that were later introduced.

Just wondering, but did they censor Shantae's Spirit?
Click to expand...
From what I seen only Mythra's spirit has been censored... though I got to wonder... we saw pyra wasn't censored, so why was mythra?

Also, yeah, Shantae's spirit not being censored is also a good thing for her as her design has no issues being in smash then, so we don't have to worry about that blocking her as a fighter

Teacher with a whip. kinky. And they cant do more untill Autumn games stops being a @#%$!?. Maybe if the mobile game dose well enough, because they are doing character origin stories in it which i think are cannon.

Good, Shantae's design is iconic to her. It would suck if they like gave her leggings or some **** (cough cough Mythra)

To be honest, I actually quite like, Mythra's leggings. :p

Hmmm I am not sure. terrible with names but yeah I think Sarah Williams works. She voiced Peacock from skullgirls yes? I actually have a video of peacock singing Yako's world. Got it made as part of the reward for the skullgirls Indiegogo(as well as going to vegas and hanging out with the whole team)

I’m not gonna lie, I’m legitimately surprised you chose her, not in a bad way of course, I love Sarah and like I said I think she’d make a good Twitch, in fact I see most of the Skullgirls cast in the Shantae series and got quite a few already, but I never would’ve thought of her for Slimegal, and I can see her fitting pretty well. Interesting...

Also, I’m incredibly jealous you got to do all that. That’s really cool!

That was one of the VA's I know pretty well, so she popped up first. I think slime gal would have a more cutsey like voice and Sarah can do that well. I'm sure there are others as well but pulling a blank atm.

And thanks haha. It was a fun time for sure. Wish I could still do stuff like that but bills to pay as well as a morgage put a stop to that

Wow that is a bad censor.

I don't mind that it was censored in the first place, more power to them if they want to keep that juicy CERO A and PEGI 12 and ESRB E10+ rating. I'm more angry at how lazily it was censored. Like they literally just opened up MS Paint and used the bucket tool. It looks slightly better in game vs the datamines because the shading is better, but they still ruined the color balance of her outfit and her whole light vs dark theme with Malos. The leggings should've had some green highlights or been light grey or they could've just lengthened her skirt, but nope they had to butcher her design instead of spending more then 5 minutes to handle it with grace.

...I'm acting really salty about a jpeg, aren't I

I think I understand the idea behind Mythra's leggings. It's not that bare legs themselves are bad since Zero Suit Samus has them, it's more the implication that she has next to nothing covering her... naughty bits underneath her dress. Leggings were the easy solution, and I have trouble picturing any other color looking good, including white.

And even if it didn't happen here, it most certainly would have if they made a model of her in action. Every move she made would be a panty shot waiting to happen, and the Smash 4 void technique just wouldn't look good.

I'm playing through my first Shantae game, Half-Genie Hero, and I gotta say I'm loving the art so much. Even with those dialogue boxes that remind of Kid Icarus Uprising, they just look great. I'm really looking forward to completing this game. Do you guys have any recommendations when I finish this one? Like which Shantae game should I play next?

Been feeling good for Shantae's chances these days. Maybe from reading how high of spirits people are in the Geno thread, with all the hoops people would have to jump through just to get anyone other than em. And I'm here just thinking about how easy Sakurai could just phone up Bozon for everything. Though in my mind it would be Sakurai personally flying to his home in a Helicopter and ringing his doorbell. He then tells em, "It's time". Then they bro-fist so awesome it just causes shockwaves through the Universe.

At least she's clearly non-human, which can allow folks to let it slide (see Krystal's AT). Besides, not even Bolo got to show up.

I just hope Risky hasn't been covered up.

No, I don't think they could. Besides just being a lot harder to do for little gain, it's a slippery slope. Too little extension and it doesn't solve the problem of excessive panty shots. Too much and it just ends being a robe in the same vein as the princesses, which is completely unlike everything she can wear.

We gotta think of the long-run here; chances are the leggings are the only way to adequately fit her in a lower rating without compromising her identity. Especially if you intend to put her in motion later.

Besides, the black helps her stand apart from those Bayonetta angels and Balder :p. And in my opinion, actually kind of fits her personality, both in the sense of hidden dark secrets and the usual dual nature of the tsundere.
