I know Cristina Vee's voice anywhere. Remember she can do plenty of different tones. Like seriously look at her VA history and compare all those voices and you can see she is a very talented VA which is why people hire her in the first place lol.

Can someone tweet her about it. I bet she would not deny it now that it is out there.

I hope Shantae gets in. She is such unique character.

She has been around for longer than most potentials. Been there when Nintendo needed indies and has been long running.

Thanks to the internet and Indie scene, people now know who she is and what she is about.

I'm just glad she wasn't deconfirmed in any form thanks to the Spirits being all over the place. That and Chrom being everywhere.

So guys, we realize Spirits are like Pokémon right? You're feeding them something that helps level them up and soon as they reach the Max level, they change stats and appearance equivalent to evolution. Metal Gear Solid 3's Snake you can evolve into Ground Zeroes Snake for instance. This begs the question: does Shantae have an evolution also? What would that be?

Well, if she is an ace, then she likely has one more stage, that being legendary. For some reason I feel like it is gonna be something from Pirates Curse.

She evolves into Rottytops, why of course!

Hmm, for some strange reason, I feel like she could evolve into her Jammies...

Her pirate outfit if that's the case, though personally I'm hoping for the possibility of multiple evolution paths, then we could have ALL her outfits! The Eevee of spirits. :)

Man, it's amazing how simply giving a function to a non-playable entity, no matter how small, is enough to spark the imagination of many. No way would we be this excited if this was still a trophy that we just looked at.

I feel like she’ll talk about it once the game comes out

Btw it may not be just 1 line there could be more for cutscenes with voice dialogue.

I don't know why people didn't notice this but Zelda VA in that cutscene was done by Cristina Vee herself. Given how Shantae Zelda seems to act like in her mannerism and movements it makes sense. Probably NoA thinking the same thing as us and hired her for that dialogue.

I asked Christina if that was her playing zelda, never got a responce back. We have no offical word if she is zelda, as she has not confirmed a thing. She also never said she was working for in smash either. Lets not spread false info.

NDA must have been extended until the game releases.

Or maybe she actually isn't voicing Zelda, and they haven't decided on shantae yet for DLC. Plus, actors can't and don't have to respond to every question. We can't take her not answers as an NDA.

Yeah but I KNOW that voice anywhere. Like seriously place Shantae's image over Zelda's and you can literally tell it's her. Heck I have listened to Zelda's line over 100 times and I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that the voice work is Cristina Vee.

Honestly I wouldnt be surprised if it was her. she got alot of acting gigs from nintento lately, like 5 volt and that new fire emblem game. Though if it was her it could potentially be more disheartening for us because that would mean nintendo had shantae's voice actor in the studio. or it could be a good thing, and makes her chances as dlc even higher. who knows.

Yeah, it may be her, but her not saying anything doesn't mean anything. She probably doeswn't feel the need to say anything, or maybe with this game they cannot say who voiced who till launch(though they did with Incineroar due to the person who did voice him)

Sign me up for Team Shantae.

She may not be an AT, but that won't stop her from being a fighter. It's either her or Steve, and I really hope it isn't the latter.
