That's cute.
I was thinking it would been sakura but then I noticed that maya(phoinex’s partner) could be part of phoinexs moveset and could relate to milk bosatu leak so phoinex it isSo with just a little over a week left till the VGAs, how are you guys feeling? Who we expecting, think it will be leaked or we be surprised?
I think the leakers with info don't have a definitive answer, and even if they did they're not going to leak it. I also think the character revealed will be someone that most people will recognize.So with just a little over a week left till the VGAs, how are you guys feeling? Who we expecting, think it will be leaked or we be surprised?
Only one thing is certain, we’re going to have something to discuss.So with just a little over a week left till the VGAs, how are you guys feeling? Who we expecting, think it will be leaked or we be surprised?
I feel like it's bound to get leaked at some point close to the reveal. By Nintendo mistake or a leaker I don't know. Though part of me hopes not because I'm still trying to figure out how the speculation page jumped 100 pages in a week when it usually increased by about 40 over a week. I was actually caught up and then Thanksgiving happened. As for content, I'm staying neutral for Smash and hoping for Seven Sirens and BotW2 news.So with just a little over a week left till the VGAs, how are you guys feeling? Who we expecting, think it will be leaked or we be surprised?
A piece of Shantae fanart I did on stream. Lots of crying was done by me and lots of fun was had by all pic.twitter.com/NBWthAJ4Kj

that would be niceYou know anyone can do that right
I make one myself
>the 5th fighter will be shantae herself she’ll be revealed at tga and will promote her new game
>the trailer will act like a seven sirens release date trailer but it’s actualy a smash trailer in disguise
>her mii costumes will actualy be from other indie franchises such as....
Shovel knight from shovel knight(swordfighter)
Rusty from steamworld dig(gunner)
Juan & tostada from guacamelee(brawler)
The drifter from hyper light drifter(swordfighter)
Hue & val from runbow(brawler)
And lastly reimu from touhou project(swordfighter) lol
>The reason sakurai decided to make reimu a mii costume instead of a fighter was that touhou was pretty much unknown overseas and wasent localized then so he hopes that this costume will make you feel like your playing as her lol
>she’ll release on February 29th 2020
>2 of the many post pass fighters will be geno & Lloyd Irving
See you at the game awards

Actually, with how her spirits would be expanding the Shantae cast if she got in and none if them with styles that really work for Mii costumes, I could easily see them going for other indies for mii costumes. The only exception I could think of would be Mighty Switch Force gunner.Now imagine what I said came true in here
that would be nice
If they wanted to be sneaky like that, then Shantae would have a message straight from her hair to their derrieres.unless the Apple Arcade release counted as that...
They better not have seen it like that. Because who other than brand new iPhone users played it?unless the Apple Arcade release counted as that...
Seriously. As a physical game buyer I already know I will have to play the game after everyone else since they are almost certainly going to use Limited Run Games again... SO just a release date would make the waiting a little easier...Gimme a release date for Seven Sirens already, god dammit.
Date, month, even a season I'd take at this point.Gimme a release date for Seven Sirens already, god dammit.

What percentage of the game does apple arcade part 1 gloss over again?
Aye. as controversial the statement seems, I do sort of qualify Shantae's spirits as being a checkmark for a series representation, though back then, I would have fought tooth and nail to state otherwise. That being said, her spirit representation is rather minimal compared to Shovel Knight's roster and if Sakurai has played Half-Genie Hero like he has with Shovel Knight and the others, he should have realized that the other characters important to her (like Mimic, Sky, Bolo, etc.) all play fairly important roles like with the Playable Knights and Shield Knight are important to Shovel Knight himself. And that's really why I suggest Shantae is a Post-DLC Fighter, since it makes absolutely no sense for them to only have two spirits when there could have been more spirits of important characters in her games in comparison to Shovel Knight's spirit list, outside of Shovel Knight being an assist trophy. It's like they want to give her some leeway with her series in case she is to be promoted to a fighter later on, but here we are.I'm honestly surprised we haven't heard any new updates about Seven Sirens recently, but it's possible we'll get a release date or news of a delay by the Game Awards.
As for TGA, I do expect a character reveal trailer there. I'm not expecting Shantae (I see her as more of a post pass character), but I would like to be wrong on that one.
I have a funny feeling that we might get a tease of our first post-Pass fighter along with Challenger #5. Call it a hunch, but I think Sakurai and Nintendo would want to tease the audience with what lies beyond.Aye. as controversial the statement seems, I do sort of qualify Shantae's spirits as being a checkmark for a series representation, though back then, I would have fought tooth and nail to state otherwise.

On that, we are agreed, Toy. There's more to this entire thing than what we've seen, and more to both WayForward and Sora Ltd and their actions. Perhaps my conspiracy side has taken over me, but I will stay loyal to Shantae until she becomes a Smash Fighter, and with these weird inconsistencies, the likelihood of her inclusion seems to be high.I have a funny feeling that we might get a tease of our first post-Pass fighter along with Challenger #5.

I would say that really depends on who #5 is. It all depends on how well received they feel number 5 will be. Like I have a feeling that, hype wise, Banjo was the biggest character in the fighter pass. I think we got the announcement of DLC past the pass right after Terry because they new people on a whole weren't going to be too thrilled that we were getting close to the end of the pass and they were giving us Ken in a hat.I have a funny feeling that we might get a tease of our first post-Pass fighter along with Challenger #5.

Its times like this I wish i could just sleep (and not have to come in for work) for a week,I would say that really depends on who #5 is.

I think we got the announcement of DLC past the pass right after Terry because they new people on a whole weren't going to be too thrilled that we were getting close to the end of the pass and they were giving us Ken in a hat.
So, if #5 is someone huge guaranteed to excite a large portion of the player base, then I could see it being the only announcement we get. Tho if they have a fan support around the same size as Terry or Joker, then I could see us getting either a double reveal or a very alluring, dissect-able hint after a reveal.
As much as I'd love to believe that, the pattern seems to be completely unrepresented series getting in through the Pass. I'd love to be proven wrong in this case, especially with so many other huge names off the table for that last slot.I don't buy holding back spirits for post-pass. Nothing beholds those characters to use the same release template as the current one, and first parties can simply be added with no additional spirits if representation is already ample enough.
If any holding back was done for Shantae, it seems more likely to be an elaborate hoax for the last Fighter Pass slot, with everyone before trying to trick others into believing only unrepresented IPs would get in.
Interesting points. So her hypothetical stage, would they just do Risky's pirate ship? Because I rather Risky just attack a Scuttle Town stage.As much as I'd love to believe that, the pattern seems to be completely unrepresented series getting in through the Pass.

Also, the theory as to why Shantae's friends aren't Spirits has intrigued me for the past year. Sky, Bolo, Rottytops, Mimic, the Barons, Twitch, and Vinegar being MIA while Shovel Knight got his +1 and fellow playable knights seems very weird. Not to mention Shantae and Risky were the last additions to the base game's Spirit Board. There's plenty of characters outside of Shantae already in Spirit form that are just as fanservicey has her and her friends. It's so odd not having at least Rotty, Sky, and Bolo to go with her and Risky.
I know Sakurai said that finding artwork plays a major factor into making Spirits, but most if not all those characters have artwork that can be used (being cut off isn't an issue, as some Spirits are like that in the game). And if need be, WayForward could've always provided art to Sakurai and his team. I highly doubt adding pictures of Sky and Rottytops would've bumped the game up to a T.
One more thing, ALL of Banjo & Kazooie's Spirits (barring the duo's Fighter Spirit and possibly Jiggy's Spirit) are BRAND NEW RENDERS made from the models used in the Spiral Mountain stage. Sakurai can have his team make new art for Spirits if needed. So no, a lack of artwork for Shantae's friends is no excuse for their absence.
