That's ridiculous. Shantae was born in a Nintendo console and sll her games have been consistently good. Meanwhile Isaac is from a classic cult franchise that hasn't gotten any new entries, and for Geno, it's mostly bandwagoning.
Isaac: Venus Adept
Cool sig pictute you got there, All seem like Nice choices... Man I have pretty much given up on ever see Jill from Drill dozer again... that was such a good game. Would be amazing to see her in as a playable, but at this point her returning as an AT would be nice.
If that was the case then we wouldn't have any retro characters, which is odd since we have gotten one every game and Sakurai seems to like to include those
I wouldn't count on that just yet. We haven't gotten enough new fighters that I'd rule out coincidence, but if the trend continues in the next direct I'd believe it.
Well, this Smash is not really abiding by what Sakurai wants, more so what the fans want. So far every choice in the game seems to be following that idea, and with the list of newcomers being shorter, I would not be surprised if there is no retro pick.
Fake. The models look off and it comes across as a sloppy Photoshop job, and it's piggybacking off of other leaks with the inclusion of Isabelle and Skull Kid, so I'm not buying it. I'm pretty sure that the Skull Kid model is from the Smash 4 trophy.Also, did any of you already see this:
Retro/WTF sometimes go hand in hand (G+W and ROB come to mind), so I am banking on that happening this game. I am torn between Hikari and Donbe(Shin Onigashima), Lip (Panel De Pon), Ayumi(Famicom detective), Mach Rider (Mach Rider) or Prince Sable(I won't even try to spell that one). With Takumaru still a trophy, I see those 5 as the logical choices, rated in order of who I want the most. Though the most likely one would probably be Mach Rider or Ayumi, as Sakurai has stated he wanted them in smash in the past. Lip also has a great chance due to her item being long in the series, and really is the only item in this game tied to a game series with no character playable.
I always thought her Smash attacks would be transformations with her dancing being the build up. Her specials would be her magic. I think her fire makes up a huge portion of who Shantae is and just the magic in general. I think a few air moves could be the pirate gear.
Not sure about her smash attacks solely being her transformations since I feel that wouldn't make Shantae truly unique and bring something to the Smash series that hasn't been seen before.
I see Simon more as the father of the metroidvania genre that's been so popular recently.
IMO her transformations should be part of her final smash and for her normal moveset they should implement her Pirate's Curse gear.
Amazing? To be honest it makes me kind of facepalm at the community. Every tweet they put out now just gets bombarded with questions and spam about smash that it borderlines harassment. It might even seriously annoy them. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if they just had the word "smash" blacklisted so that tweets didn't show up mentioning them. For real, I think people should give them some space to breath and stop directing tweets about smash at them. There's nothing wrong with showing support but I think people take it a bit too far.
I doubt they have blacklisted everyone, and it really is only a result of how hard Wayforward themselves supported Shantae for Smash back in 4. And a lot of those tweets are not asking questions about Smash, but voicing there support for her getting in.
The post is specifically celebrating the fans, so I think the fans are kinda aloud to voice what they support and what they hope Shantae will be able to accomplish in the future.
And where is this from? The Banjo one looks like Promo art from something.G-Guys...?
A lot may spam the same word but it really could be worse. You should've seen the tweets when people demanded Bayonetta for Smash. Those were the pure definition of toxic.
I know it's 4chan but still, it's entertaining to check out their """"""leaks""""""
Yeah. A lot of the Shantae for Smash tweets are just that, "Shantae for Smash." I don't see many people being out right rude and demanding stuff or being mean about anything, and most people just seem confused about the silence.
That Banjo doesn't even look like a 3D render, or if it is it's extremely old. Either way, poorly cropped blurry zoomed face "leaks" should be ignored completely as fake.G-Guys...?
Or when people posted that 9/11 edit with Waluigi on Sakurai's profile lol
What else is there to talk about that hasn't already been discussed? The silence from WF, Shantae not being in other indie crossovers, her not being shown alongside Shovel Knight, the ultimate slumber party, the movesets, the stages, the music that they could choose from her games, etc.
Honestly, I think at a certain point a thread becomes so big that it starts absorbing general discussion. Issac and Geno seem to be very big victims of this and with the much more speculative nature of this thread, it attracts that sort of discussion.
Thank you very much. Yeah I guess I did get carried away with describing the forms, I just wanted to show the utility of each, though I think it would give people more reason to use her transformations by giving her two moves (one attack, one special) and would make the transformations a little less predictable to opponents. I’m starting to agree with the neutral A though, also I went into detail on one of the previous pages before my moveset if you want to see my exact thoughts, but I do want to see the HGH portrait art design for her appearance.
The webbing would also attach her to the underside of soft platforms and quickly pull her onto top of them or grab onto the edges of solid platforms if she’s directly below.
There’s a high possibility of that happening considering Pokémon Trainer’s palettes. Some color swaps might be more subtle than others, though I could certainly see more radical changes here and there. Let’s say the transformations are based off the 4 original ones in their HGH designs like in my moveset idea. One palette swap idea would be the colors from the GBC original (ex. Brown for monkey and spider). Maybe some enemy colors like the Spider could have Bonelegs and Scorpgal (or Naga) colors, Harpy with Archer colors, etc.
We can't expect transformations to have elaborte movesets. 2 or 3 specialties would be fine and it could even automateicall revert back to shantae after using an attack. It doesn't have to, and it could be manual, and if it's fast like pokemon trainer switches, then there's no problem.
mario rpg not legendary? Can I point you to the wii shop description?
It could work depending on how they go about doing it. Monkey could have the combo potential of Sheik's fair with great speed and a tiny hitbox, Elephant causes heavy shield damage with a Bowser Bomb ground pound, Spider's great at long distance projectile pestering, and Harpy's got fantastic edgeguarding skills. I kinda agree on the Spider Web criticizm though, how about instead of simply grabbing onto platforms above it's a Brawl ZSS up B type attack that pulls opponents down from straight above?
I pretty much said it was not legendary because it's never recognized for all the big things it have done. We know why Super Mario Bros is legendary. We know why Legend of Zelda is legendary. I feel like i have explained why SMRPG is important about a half dozen times and then some. It's never recognized for it's awesome stuff by the gaming public, and that saddens me. How can I call something legendary if most people barley recognize it's importance. I am glad the Wii seems to know, though. And hey, if Geno gets in, perhaps more people realize just how important that game is.
Mario RPG was way ahead of its time and redefined how so many things could be in RPGs (and other games). It doesn't matter if some people don't look into it, it has an important part in gaming history, and having it played it myself back then, it was crazy good (even if on the short side), and some great stuff in it still doesn't show up that often in games these days, it's definitely a legendary game, at least historically. It's just too bad it was just 1 game, and that's probably what makes it less known for people.
