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

[zferolie]

Well then... this place has certainly bloomed, hasn’t it?

Bloomed is an understatement. This place is exploding

 

[Aurane]

Well then... this place has certainly bloomed, hasn’t it?

Its a flower field.

And its about to be burned to a crisp in a few hours.

But joking aside- keep your expectations low, folks. Not saying it won't happen, but... Its highly unlikely.

The blog udate is running late and it's killing me. Because if it's Shovel Knight it could be a hint, or if it never updates that means that they are saving something for later in the day, and normal stuff like an assist trophy, stage or one of those veteran trailers are never saved like that.

Edit: I fixed some typing errors. It's harder to type on a phone.

 

[M00NFIRE94]

this game is already the hypest game ever. The Half Genie Hero would just be a delicious cherry on top of the best sundae ever made.

Who else can't stop thinking of a videogame-themed ice cream shop now?

 

[Sudz]

With Ridley, K. Rool, and Simon now set in the roster, the last remaining character I've been wanting for a long time is Shantae. Another Kirby rep would be nice tho.

Here's prayin bois, if Shantae gets in I am prepared to go pro as a quad main

when does it normally update on JST or American times?

 

[SneakyLink]

when does it normally update on JST or American times?

I think it normally occurs before 10 pm EST.

 

[Aurane]

There's ****ing 70+ people here holy ****.

I actually hope I'm wrong now. ._.

 

[CloudedSun]

Right? Wow I can't believe there's this many people.

 

[Shadowknight1]

Me too, but I'm trying not to think about it. Honestly, I just hope some cool games get shown off tomorrow. I'll probably catch the highlights thanks to GameXplain during my lunch break.

 

[Teeb147]

Just enjoy the show. And enjoy the chances for something more

 

[Sleepy_Icarus]

I log in and see 5+ pages in less than a day. Damn if that doesn't show some excitement. Here's to hoping for something Shantae-related tomorrow, folks.

 

[Baws]

Yeah I have to keep my expectations at 0 here to keep my sanity, but I love Nindies showcases anyway so I will definitely be there for it, even though it will **** up my sleep schedule lol

 

[CHAMPIONX9]

The big question is who would be the captain?

4 way smash, winner is captain.

 

[TeenGirlSquad]

The cool thing about Shantae is that she probably has the most moveset potential out of any potential newcomer. Also she'd probably have some cool cutscene interactions if there is a story mode.

 

[Yellowlord]

If Shantae gets announced tomorrow, I will record myself saying Ret2Go in a stupid yet silly voice (or purely a silly voice) because I literally can’t think of anything else to do.

 

[kirbstr]

I've wanted shantae for sooooo long, ever since pirates curse came out on the 3ds and I got the chance to play it. I really hope she gets her chance. She probably won't tomorrow (as it is an indie centered direct) but I hope she gets at least some representation in smash.

 

[Shadow Novus]

You people are killing me, I've been trying *not* to get myself too hyped but man the activity here in the last few days has been incredible.

I'm more excited now than I ever was during the ballot days

 

[Teeb147]

If Shantae would come in next, She'd be #68. I think this is better than 69, because then we'd be getting too many jokes of a certain kind.

If she got announced tomorrow, I promise you I will custom order an edible Shantae hat and eat it

 

[Jave]

Man, it really feels like it might happen. Not getting too hyped for tomorrow, but it's amazing how far Shantae has come from the Brawl days.

Time for reposting some optimistic artwork:

I pity whoever gets that number. And hopefully it is not Shantae.

uh.. well, I did come across this:

Spoiler

 

[EarlTamm]

uh.. well, I did come across this:

Spoiler

Oh please do not let it be Geno. In all likelihood this leak is false, but the idea of him being that number is horrible. And the worse part is that the jokes would be easier than you would think for him.

I dunno he's a puppet lol, I think he'd be the best to take the brunt, since he doesn't have anything.. uh.. down there.

What about Rayman?

 

[Dixie Kong]

Smashboards would explode if both Shantae and Geno were revealed tomorrow.

im legit gonna hold you to that.

 

[kingkalamari]

Dropping by from the Geno thread, hoping Shantae gets announced tomorrow!

 

[NukeA6]

Is there a party in this thread? Why so many views all of a sudden?

 

[WreckitRyan]

Okay seriously, where is the blog update people?!
PS. I can already tell I’m going to sleep very little tonight..

 

[CannonStreak]

Is there a party in this thread? Why so many views all of a sudden?

I dunno. Maybe because it's about the Direct tomorrow, even though she may not be announced there.

 

[NukeA6]

Oh, makes perfect sense. I forgot about the Nindie Direct.

 

[Veodok]

While all you guys are tempering yourselves, I'm over here like:

 

[Shadowknight1]

uh.. well, I did come across this:

Spoiler

Huh...I rewatched Roy's trailer and Lyn does appear when Roy taunts...BUT that could just be coincidence.

 

[zferolie]

Yeah... odd no update yet. Happened the same way before the 8.8 one...

Speaking of the 8.8 direct, I remembered out the music got changed for one of the videos, and took a look... I may be wrong, but the last 2 video files are named differently then I remember. Gang plank and Gear up for are not called that on the youtube listing... they are called 12 and 13. Was this always the case? The other songs have their full names their, just these 2 don't... Can someone tell me if that was always the case?

Huh...I rewatched Roy's trailer and Lyn does appear when Roy taunts...BUT that could just be coincidence.

I assume most of those videos involve some sort of data manipulating to get them perfect in Sakurai's eyes.

I think the names are because the Castlevania music was leaked through Galaga Medley the day before.

 

[CHAMPIONX9]

uh.. well, I did come across this:

4 chan has 8 billion leaks a day so .5 leaks out of 8 billion is true so 0.0000000005 chance of being real.

Huh...I rewatched Roy's trailer and Lyn does appear when Roy taunts...BUT that could just be coincidence.

She has a teleporting slash so it is possible without the leak being true.

Well the show doesn't start until 12PM EST. No need for the insomnia unless I'm missing something here.

Planks, pirates,.. clearly it's about Shantae.

..P just kidding, I don't know anything about the videos.
