Considering Cloud's Fighter Spirit is only his Smash design, and I think Wii Fit Trainer as well, I feel his logic for why Spirits don't disconfirm Shantae should apply to all the other Spirit characters as well, especially since Shantae looks generally the same in her appearances anyway and they could rename her equip-able Spirit as well as others to include something like "(Game Title)."
The downside is that it starts airing right as my shift starts (seriously?), so if any surprises happen it'll be tricky to dodge the Internet not to be spoiled.
Sorry to hear that, hope you are able to dodge info until you get a chance to sit down and enjoy it. I'll make sure not to post anything hear without spoiler tags.
This is better than lax Chris vid

Another thing in that shantae video from
Alpha Stoutland
I’ve noticed thunder productions isn’t doing his whole routine when a shantae for smash vid comes up.
Whatever it ends up being, it'll probably end up in the next Shantae game anyway. Wayforward loves incorporating fan efforts and suggestions.
Well, they teased three pokeballs, so we are definitely seeing the starters. We will get a title an name of the region, a little gameplay with scenes that give us an idea of what real world nation it is based off of, and maybe a few early game mons. Other than that we might meet the new professor, will probably see silhouettes of the box legendaries, might see some grunts from the evil team (but no team reveal) and I bet whatever trailer we get will end with the trainer activating their mega stone, but we won't see which pokemon is mega evolving.
I heard rumors from a friend a while ago that gameplay would take an Action RPG slant. I doubt the new changes will be that drastic, so I guess we'll find out in a few hours.
The fact that you could choose your gender in the Smash Ballot and Shantae being like the most wanted female character makes me believe she has a chance to be in the Season Pass or the next one if there is one. Of course Bayonetta was chosen from the Ballot, but K. Rool, Ridley, and the Belmonts were chosen from the Ballot as well and they are all characters that would cater more to the male audience. There is no reason Sakurai would have had that gender option unless he planned to add newcomers in Ultimate chosen from the Ballot that would cater to both the male and female audience. I think another female from the Ballot will be chosen, and that female will be Shantae if I'm right.
Holy ****! Mewtwo at 2:03.
It always depends on what kind of exclusives each has, but I usually get the "blue" equivalent so I will most likely get Sword.
Im calling it right now: the sword legendary will have the highest base attack stat, while having terrible defense, and vice versa for the shield legendary.
From just what we've seen here, even if the rabbit turns into a Fire/Fighting I think I'll still pick it first. Not that the other ones look bad, and honestly the thought of the water one turning into a Loch Ness like pokemon seems really cool to me. Or maybe that could be a legendary? Also Ape man since I like monkeys but my sister doesn't. This region might not be the open world I've been wanting, but heck it still looks great. Until I play it and I change my mind, but yeah.
The fact that Scorbunny is literally a shonen protag in the form of a rabbit is so adorable. Between him and Sobble, another gen where I can't tell which of the starters I like more (and one I'm not that interested in out of the three).
The last thing we need is more men having placed their choices in the ballot than women, if that turns out to be the case that'll be another point for the "Shantae's only wanted by horny males" detractors. In the meantime, all that can be done is praying.
I still think Sakurai strongly counted the female votes into consideration though. Like I said, why else was that a option?
I guess, let's hope this amounts into something (besides Lara Croft, of course).
I think too many people sleep on Lara Croft, she is a real possibility. She is one of the most iconic females in gaming, if not the most iconic.
Yessiree. At least she can get noticed more than Ms. Pac-Man.
Same here. I don't know why nobody in the Square-Enix thread takes her chances seriously.
It's a common thing that surveys do for data. It doesn't necessarily mean it will always factor. And I doubt that such alone dictates what gender of playable characters we'll get. Besides, this assumes that the majority who asked for Shantae were girls anyway.
The name Sobble implies shooting liquid from it's eyes ("sob" being a word for crying), like the pygmy horned lizard does with blood.
Monster hunter crossing over with pokemon sounds like a nightmare... All those poor carved up pokemon...The name Sobble implies shooting liquid from it's eyes ("sob" being a word for crying), like the pygmy horned lizard does with blood.

It's probably one of those designs that hybrids several species.
Also, Sword & Shield... like I needed more prompting for my dream of seeing Pokemon and Monster Hunter cross over. But where does Aegislash fit in all this?
I was thinking more of a crossover in something like Pokken. Or Stories, which is more Pokemon-like than the main Monster Hunter entries in a lot of ways.
I still believe K. Rool won the Ballot due to the massive support he got because of us Kutthroats, how much his face was shown on the pictures on the mode screens, and being in the WOL intro right behind Mario and Link in the crowd no less.
I believe they were Ballot picks as well. Not Isabelle of course, but Dark Samus and Daisy. But the thing is though Richter, Chrom, and Ken are all Echos that might have been chosen from the Ballot as well. So if we go by this theory excluding
, , and , we have 3 unique males chosen from the Ballot which are , , and . 3 Echo males chosen from the Ballot, which are , , and . 1 unique female chosen from the Ballot, which is and 2 female Echos which are and . won the Ballot, I do think she was chosen from the Ballot and was advertised to be claimed as the winner. I believe they saved the bigger fishes like , , and for Ultimate on the bigger more successful console.
There is always got to be people that brings it up to stir things.
I just want Ms. Pac-Man to get in because she is iconic/I like her, not because she's a girl for balancing things out.
I think the thing is that we have no idea how big the silent majority is. I have seen Bayonetta rarely brought up in Deviantart art, threads, etc when it came to character campaigns.
Nice outfit, where's that from?The pace is at a unstable level, but we are currently slow as with the rest of the fans and their character(s) picks. It will pick up again once April Arrives, till then it's waiting time.
Also, Welcome to March Everyone. (Not everyone yet depending on your zone.)
Here is a Shantae Art for today.
Artist: JaysonBlade
the artist made those outfits from Into the Spiderverse movie.
It's not even a "poll". It's just a suggestion box. Polls have specific character(or other tangible) choices. At most you would fill out something like your e-mail/name/age/gender/etc. But it already tells you specifically what the options are. Here the options were "list your own ideas entirely" instead.
I can assure you that the Smash Ballot in Japan was NOT a competition in the slightest, but a suggestion box. A friend of mine (who used to be on SB, but recently left) explained that the English translation of the JP Smash Ballot even says that the Smash Ballot was never meant to be 'most votes wins thing', but moreso 'Who do you want to see in Smash, and we'll see if we can make it happen' thing.
This kind of info makes me more confident in seeing Shantae in Smash at some point. It's just a matter of time, especially if support remains consistent.
