Comparing the villains of already represented franchises to one's protagonist is kind of apples and oranges, don't ya think? We also have a long DLC life ahead of us and no pesky veterans to compete with there. And, we're in the unique position of being able to make our demand known and/or increase it within the game by using Shantae's online tag. Star power isn't everything, but Nintendo certainly hasn't been shy about promoting her in the past and it doesn't look like that's changing anytime soon.
A combination of the first 2, I don't even know who that guy is.Hadokeyblade i want you to ask me this
What made you say shantae as an assist trophy during someone saying that she’ll get to do this?
Is it because you fear about her fate in the next smash game or is it because of what someone said to you or on a post?
Or maybe your secretly Hollywoodrok12 in disguise and you made another account?
Nah there’s no way.
I think he's more referring to the fact that they found data for more than just 6 extra characters in the game fules, that along with Nintendo saying they want to focus more on updates and DLC for their products going forward implies that Smash will get another fighter pass eventually.
Then don’t listen to what they say.

) but I can’t wait any longer because this thread is a ghost town right now I mean cmon!
1. You can edit your first post and add more to it you know. That way there's no need to double post.I’m sorry for this double post (
She’s starting to love shantae right now

Hmm, her old Capcom "alumni"(by technicality) eh?
1.sorry
1. No need to apologize (though some may beg to differ), just keep it mind for next time. You always apologize for DPing regardless, so it'd save you the trouble if you remember the edit option instead.
There are actually a few CS supporters in this thread, myself included, but I am definitely in agreement in regards to Wario Land getting the short end of the stick.
More people are starting to recognize shantae and that’s good for her
You do have a point
One thing to look forward to first would the kind of spirit treatment Joker will get. Will it only be his fighter spirit? Or will we get a number of them from Persona 5, or even the Persona series as a whole?
If he does get more spirits than just a fighter one, I'd say it'd exclusively just be Persona 5 characters, anyway...
Well, technically, I don't think they'd be able to run out of choices per se, depending on whether or not the ballot gets glanced at occasionally.
Speaking from experience, I feel that how much you get out of Shantae is magnified tenfold if you have a history with a good deal of Nintendo, especially the classics. The series pays plenty of homages to them if you know where to look. You can tell the devs have great passion for Nintendo games, and it shows with how well they've treated Nintendo, sticking with their platforms first and foremost even when all signs point to other platforms being more profitable. And with Shantae often being the headlining heroine of the Eshop's indie section, and now spirits and an online avatar in Ultimate, it's pretty safe to say Nintendo treats them in kind.
Sorry to hear about that, hope you bounce back soon! But yeah you haven’t missed much right now.Ok so a bunch of crap happened the last week, like me losing my job
So what did I miss?
Thanks. Already got a part time at gamestop and looking to make it fulltime, and will probably do uber starting next month too
Transformations?
Starting from scratch yes. Estimate time usually based on me would be months given 3 months minimum and could be reduced if that one can be done on a base of a character model already made
The transformations mainly. It's how they will be used that will distinguish them. I propose a mix of Game & Watch's per-move basis and Shulk's arts in the form of dances buffing certain of those moves.
You mean like the shoto's command inputs?
She could use the Pirate gear and the moves from her First Game on the Gameboy Color.
A lot of people in this thread, myself included, have also brought up the idea of partial transformations similar to Corrin if full transformations aren't feasible. Have Shantae use moves from her transformations but rather than fully transform, she merely takes on a few traits such as growing a tail while performing a Monkey Bullet or her arms becoming the Harpy's wings to fly upward for an Up B. I think it's a creative liberty they could take that still feels true to Shantae. After all, they're still moves she uses and we already have plenty of cases involving characters doing things they normally can't to represent other aspects of their game/s and flesh out a moveset. Ness and Lucas using other party members PSI, and Pac-Man using a Galaga beam and Mappy trampoline are a few examples.
Besides, I could see her being considered for Wave 2 if there's enough demand. Especially if she's saved for last.
I don't know, in regards to third parties Sakurai usually makes it a point to have the characters be as faithful to their source as possible (with occasional concessions to be made, as with Pac-Man's case). It's kind of like if Mega Man sprouted his Super Adaptor jets for a few seconds and didn't change color at all. Meanwhile Bayonetta's moves were pretty much taken out of her games as is, she turned out to be among the most complex characters to play as, but they still did it.
Today marks two years since the launch of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero! Thank you all for dancing through danger with us! pic.twitter.com/wZyFYeQiYZ

Has anyone tried asking Yacht Club Games questions about Smash? Their response might tell us if something's up.
We live in a completely different age now then we did back in the Melee and Brawl days. A character can get popular a whole lot faster because of how big social media is compared to how it was back in those days. Shovel Knight got a lot of votes during the Smash Ballot and his game was less then a year old when that was going on, and he got a Assist Trophy which, is pretty impressive popularity for a character that existed less then a year when the Smash Ballot was going on. I'm pretty sure because of how popular both Shovel Knight and Shantae are, they will definitely get into the roster by Smash 6 or 7 because by than, I'm pretty confident we will get our first 3rd party western character into the roster.
