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

[Biometal]

Hmm? A leak actually including her? As a fighter? On 4chan/Fireden? Hmm.

I feel queasy.

Edit (coz Dylly will eat me if I double-post):

It's a fake leak because

Spoiler

"Febuary"

doesn't exist.

 

[Dukefire]

4chan/Fireden is always a place I don't trust.

 

[zferolie]

people don't trust 4chan leaks, but that Pokemon Sword and Shield leak thats 100% true so far was from there right?

Granted, yes 4chan is true on other games like Pokémon Sword and Shield. But, Smash Ultimate is always a curveball with what Sakurai and the development team are doing. Few or none can't predict of what is coming next regarding rumors and speculations.

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

The ONLY Ultimate leak on /v/ that was true was the one with Piranha Plant, and it wasn't noticed until after the fact.

5Chan is even less accurate, yet people still gobbled up the fake leak from there because of Joker, Mementos and Hero (and even then Erdrick wound up being an alt instead of Luminary, and Anlucia never appeared at all).

Gotta say, I'm really loving the look of the new Risky figure!

There she is! https://t.co/l2JRxutnBQ

Me too. I wonder how long until it gets on Ebay, I'm focusing on getting other stuff at the moment, so I didn't get to pre-order.

Can't wait for that Febuary direct, even though there is no such month. I really want to know what feautures it would have shown.

Only the best. For their loyal coustmers

so the 28th is mostly over and no hero, so that 1 4chan leak was fake not sure why someone would guess a sunday

At this rate Hero will be out during EVO.

Joker dropped at 9pm EST, just saying.

 

[Dukefire]

Guess we will find out once August starts. Maybe Nintendo might do another direct August after EVO or on September.

Also, here is a shantae artwork for tonight.

Because historical DQIII release reasons, apparently. Now they should realise how silly this logic is.

EVO reveal seems to be the most logical outcome, so I don't see why anyone would be desperate to think otherwise.

how random. Smash has always done things its own way. I would have guessed evo because last evo they announced the smash direct. I assume with smash being a final round it will go over all of Hero, maybe new modes or if crazy then announce an upcoming smash direct for new modes or stuff.

Of course causality had to go and prove me wrong. Well, at least the wait is over.

Quick. Say Shantae will not be DLC.

So i doubt this counts for that leak haha. Still, i bet he will drop right after or something. Still, 22 minutes is a lot for just a character, unless he is pretty complex.

I wonder if evo will reveal anything... I can still see them releasing a trailer for fighter 4 there. I mean other games have done very early reveals like that there

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

I can't just force it like that, I much rather want to bring it up naturally.

 

[LaBeteNoire]

So a NoE tweet went out and got deleted saying that 4.0 will be going live in the 31st. So you can bet hero is coming with it.

That was what i was expecting. I wonder if they will play that version at evo or not. I would guess not.

They won't since hero just arrived and no one doesn't know how to use him yet.

Best not to show champs stuggling with the new challenger live at the finals.

Found a good Shantae art piece.

Spoiler: Risky's Revenge playthrough progress

Well I just beat the first dungeon and Squid Baron to get the first seal yesterday, and now I'm in the desert trying to beat Ammo Baron's enemy trail in his tower. I'm probably going to have to go back to Scuttle Town to get Spike Balls in order to beat the enemies in the trail fast enough to get through it before the timer goes off.

 

[Inoj]

Anybody post this remix yet?

 

[Captain Hazama]

Have an early Shantae pic. Its amazing: https://mobile.twitter.com/SquChan/status/1155946097464025088

 

[zferolie]

Watched the hero video. Lools very interesting. That the down b is a random selection of spells, and a ton of them, is not what i was expecting. Looks like it will be a cool fighter honestly.

Plus he releases today!

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Reminder that Erdrick is old enough to take Shantae out on a date. Also, he's the King of Braves, but that's besides the point.

What a random fact haha

Actually we have yet to know Shantae's official age.

Well, here is the updated fighter's pass list of current fighters.

[Mikegamer0608]

The Hero's moveset looks crazy I can't wait to give him a try. I wonder if Sakurai could pull off a crazy moveset for Shantae with her transformation ability.

 

[LaBeteNoire]

So how does everyone feel about the vanishing Final Smash? Personally I think it's not a good feature to make unoptional. Some final Smashes are very easy to pull off while others need to be very precise. For the ones who have very easy Final Smashes to pull off, they won't really be affected, but for characters who need precise spacing to successfully land one, well their opponent can just avoid them until the clock runs out.

I believe it can be worked around like how patches are for characters. Besides, it could balance it out when fighting with meter on. Its just me.

It only affects final smashes when the meter is turned on.

I need to post this, only if because some recent events are pointing towards Hero coming out on the 28th to be legit. View attachment 232606

I don't buy that for a second. Also when did Hero come out? It wasn't the 28th, correct?

The Hero is available to download NOW!!!!!!1
