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

[MeteoRain]

Speaking of Assist Trophies, which one would you want promoted the most? I want Krystal.

Midna

Outside of personal wants, Isaac or Bomberman. Leaning towards Isaac, it really does seem like Ultimate was his fanbase's last stand.

 

[ChadTR]

Is the Smash Direct link up yet?

 

[Sunny-Zee]

Is the Smash Direct link up yet?

Here. Take a deep breath, and hype responsibly.

 

[GoldLiger]

Ten minutes to go.

Any final guesses?
Me
1. Shantae
2. Dante
3. Kosmos
4. Rayman
5. Crash

Let's see how I do.

 

[etnoika]

10 mins to go folks.

Whatever happens, remember to be civil and courteous, and that there's still more DLC to come.

With that said, Let's Go Shantae!

 

[LaBeteNoire]

I could see this going a number of ways. If they wanted to end the fighters' pass with a bang (after all this was at one point planned to be the end of DLC) Then I think Geno makes the most sense: Highly requested for a long time, retro rep from a popular game, thought to be impossible because of rights. I see him as being the "biggest deal" left out there in regards to smash gets.

However, it could just as easily be another Terry situation, a character certainly deserving, but one that folks weren't really considering due to relevancy or relationship to Nintendo or whatever.

Or, hope against hope, it could be our girl in all her half-genie glory. Her odds aren't as great as Geno's, but if all the leakers are on the money, she is one of the few left with a serious shot. Anyway just a few minutes away now so we will know soon.

 

[zferolie]

4 minutes guys. whos hyped?

 

[Sunny-Zee]

I’ll queue up the music. This comes from the “Toonami Faithful”.

 

[ChadTR]

whos hyped?

I'm literally about to blow up right now.

 

[zferolie]

I'm literally about to blow up right now.

I guess it was a silly question. Everyone is hyped!

 

[Biometal]

Glad I'm not a zoomer stuck in school during these.

 

[Dukefire]

Byleth is coming. FE rage is flowing.

 

[ChadTR]

Seriously -_-

 

[LaBeteNoire]

Booooooooooo!

 

[Biometal]

Weeeeelp.

Now I'm tempted to go retort at the people who insulted me over mentioning Sakurai bias for FE.

 

[logicandreason]

downside: another fe rep.
upside: its not a marth clone

 

[ChadTR]

Sabi and Verge just died, no?

 

[Dukefire]

That also means post spirits doesn't deconfirm them

 

[zferolie]

well I never though Sakurai would do another Fire Emblem character, after that last rage. Still, they look fun, and has a female alt.

Still... wow ending on FE, and they planned to end with this. Wow.

 

[Dukefire]

The trailer did make fun of the community rage of "Too Many Sword fighters".

 

[etnoika]

Aw man, even as a huge Fire emblem fan, I was hoping we wouldn't get another one. There's gonna be so much hate now.

Unless we get another fighter? There's still 20 mins to go.

 

[zferolie]

I did laugh at that.

 

[LaBeteNoire]

Wow... They better reveal the first post pass character since they clearly know how few people are going to be happy about this.

 

[MeteoRain]

downside: another fe rep.
upside: its not a marth clone

It's just basically what BotW Link should have been.

 

[Dukefire]

It's just basically what BotW Link should have been.

Well, Sakurai did say he does play early versions of certain games to analyze that character

 

[ChadTR]

Post-pass preview already please.

 

[LaBeteNoire]

Smash 4's DLC revenge...

 

[Dukefire]

I can guess they will save the post fighter DLC starting in spring

 

[M00NFIRE94]

Well that was a kick in the pants.

 

[~The Koopa King~]

man the live chat really hates this.....

 

[Dukefire]

man the live chat really hates this.....

Let them Deal with it

 

[~The Koopa King~]

I Just....did we really need another fire emblem character on the roster? Smash 4's reveal of Corrin was roasted and as expected Byleth's reveal is the same way

 

[Jorichi]

Not going to lie, this is kind of hard pill to swallow... I feel a bit like Dukefire 's avatar.
I understand how popular FE is though, and at least they're trying something a bit different here... But I can't honestly say I'm interested myself.
Looks good though. Again, a lot of love and effort put into it.

The trailer did somewhat counter the rage with the community's line "Too Many Sword Fighters".

I think that more added flame to the fire tho. It was like saying "Yeah, we know you are annoyed with this, but we are doing it anyway"

 

[Dukefire]

Well, Cuphead is getting a Mii gunner outfit

 

[RetrogamerMax]

CUP FREAKEN HEAD!!!

 

[M00NFIRE94]

ON THE BRIGHT SIDE SHANTAE DIDN'T GET THE MII AXE AT LEAST PHEW

 

[Dukefire]

We got six spots open this time

 

[zferolie]

so 6 more fighters, and cuphead is a mii fighter, so Shantae still is in the lead for an indie rep
