Hey guys recent leaks are suggesting that an indie character just might be the next dlc fighter#4 and some sources keep claiming its frisk from undertake. I personally think Shantae deserves the spot given her history with Nintendo so anybody think frisk is imminent or that Shantae has a better chance?

Undertale's combat just seems too weird to translate into Smash through playable format, and in-game is somewhat actively discouraged anyway. And don't people prefer campaigning for the other characters that have potentially interesting abilities?

Yeah, putting an Undertale character in a fighting game is kind of a disservice to the game when you think about it. I mean the whole point of the game is that you can be as violent or as peaceful as possible so having Frisk strictly attacking would be a mis representation and having Sans fighting would kind of be a big spoiler for his character.

I get that Undertale has made a huge impact and certainly "deserves" representation, but Smash by it's nature just makes Undertale a bad fit.

Its been a while, but I'll leave a shantae artwork for tonight. Also, while Undertale (and now the continuing DeltaRune) is popular, I don't see that Undertale's mechanics may not work too well in Smash. Though granted, Sakurai and the Smash Team has done some impossible stuff, but I don't think it will fit.

Anybody wondering if Shantae only has her shot to be in the fighters pass within the September Direct or maybe we can still hold out hope for her after that time period? I don't know if she would be considered to be the last reveal, but I sure would like to be proven wrong!

Also, so far nothing indicates that nothing else is coming after the FP's done. Let's just wait for February and see what happens then.

If she's in, the time of her reveal is irrelevant. As I've said before, the decision was made back in November for who got in. If she was selected it was back then and not related to what was going o happen in Aug/Sep now.

Unfortunately there is no answer for any of us other than "wait" But while we are waiting we can certainly hope as well. And if she gets in or not, she's got another game for us all to look forward too and that's something most of the Smash hopefuls don't have going for them, so we should be happy and grateful for that.

I have a feeling if Shantae is in the Season Pass she's next because I don't see her as the type of character to end the Pass off with. I mean, I would love to be wrong, but that's just my take when we will see Shantae in the Season Pass if she is even in it.

Well, if that "Jokey 4 out of 5" tweet from Mr.Bozon was anything to go on... :p

But yeah, I feel the same way. I have no real reason for it though, since they don't always finish strong with their Smash stuff.
I doubt we'll get to see who it is anytime soon though, might take them a few weeks before announcing anything.

For now I'm looking forward to the next Nindies, which usually has some pretty neat stuff to keep my mind occupied for a while.
Maybe we''ll get a glimpse of Shantae 5 gameplay (wishfull thinking)?

I do agree that she doesn't seem like the kind of "Wow!" you would want to end the fighter's pass with, but this is Sakurai so that still doesn't mean much. I mean Bayonetta and Corrin weren't received too well as the big send of for Smash 4's DLC

So, yeah, spot four does seem like the place she would be if she's in, but still anything could happen.

That there is the only clue we got, if it's even one at all. :drshrug:
I would expect us to know who number 4 is at late September at most, after BK gets their turn on the spotlight. This isn't like when :ultlucas: got shown off before :ultmewtwo: got released, since he didn't come with extra swag to hide.

But yeah, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if S5 skips over the Nindies. WF have been oddly hush-hush in regards to this latest game, so I wonder what's up with that.

That being said, here's a couple pieces from Dino Squirrel. Guess which one's inspired by a Rob Zombie song?

What Tweet?! oO

Lol! But seriously.
Mr.Bozon made a joke tweet after her appearance as a spirit to keep cheering for shantae for DLC with a weird hashtag like #Shantaefor4outof5smashDLC or something weird like that, I can't quite remember since it got deleted pretty quickly and he then posted this:
I wouldn't take it seriously in any way, but it was pretty weird.

Hopefully that's a big slip up and she's in. But I won't consider that being very likely even though that's what I would want.

Been a while. So yeah I can agree that the tweet from Mr. Bozon was odd. Heck he didn't even correct himself immediately after he sent that tweet out like most would do.

Plus with the silence surrounding Shantae 5 when it comes to the actual gameplay it is my belief that if their is a Nindies Direct in either September or October that Shantae 5 will be the last game shown in it and with it comes a Smash announcement for her.

We haven't been hearing a lot from Matt Bozon after the Shantae 5 opening reveal months ago. Maybe they are busy with getting the game ready?

I've looked into it a bit in the past and have noticed that Nindie Directs can be seperate for NA, Europe and Japan. So when it comes to Smash announcements I wouldn't expect it. I'm sure Mr.Bozon and the WayForward Twitter will tweet it out when anything Shantae is happening somewhere anyways.

If their focus isn't on rounding up River City Girls, then I bet it's all hands on deck for Shantae 5!
How far along they are with it is something I wouldn't dare to bet on though... Last I heard is that they were still aiming for a 2019 release I think, so there's that.

It is quite weird, especially compared to practically shouting out Shantae's name on all rooftops during HGH's dev phase. The Kickstarter campaign left out little that people wouldn't know about by the time the game was finished.

Now? It's almost reclusive. 3 seconds of gameplay and an animated trailer, that's it. Even RCG got more to show off in a shorter time period.

that 3 second gameplay was also an unplanned LEAK. so really its just the animated OP trailer, and the promotional art.

A trailer thingy of Apple Arcade shows a second of Shantae 5 gameplay is what I think they were refering to?
It's at the ten second mark.
I guess that wasn't exactly planned if what Shinuto said is true.
Planned or not, the chances of it being extremely early beta footage far from the final product are pretty high, especially with the Half-Genie Hero sprite being reused.

I get the feeling it's for plot-related reasons, that we're getting something on the level of or even exceeding Pirate's Curse in lore. Unlike Half-Genie Hero's somewhat disjointed structure, it's harder to show stuff that won't potentially spoil a crucial detail. And it's probably going to be deeper than another plot of Risky's to level Sequin Land.

Have we discussed spirits for Shantae and what the matches would look like?
Rotty Tops - Green Zero Suit Samus. Likes to grab and pummel. Heals on pummel.
Sky - Rosalina and Luma. Extra jump. Luma is invincible, but is frequently sent out alone
Bolo - Richter. Affinity for smash and tilt attacks. Plays agressive and distracted by items.
Professor - Dr. Mario.
Tinkerbats - Game & Watch team
Squid Baron - Giant Red Kirby. Prefers dash and Down B.
Techno Baron - King K. Rool. Prefers specials. Starts with a barrel.
Ammo Baron - Megaman. Attack buff. Only guns appear.
Hypno Baron - Hero. Floaty.


This is all dependent on who's in the new games and keeping relevant characters.

Shantae brings back good old days, I would rather have her as an assist trophy instead of a playable character, because I don't want her to be playable, but I still want her to be included in the game. She already has a spirit, although spirits don't deconfirm. I would be happier if she gets promoted to an assist trophy in Smash 6.

Anyone here think Shantae could keep up with Kirby during one his dances using her own moves?

Since we're talking spirits, and because I have Mighty Switch Force on the brain thanks to the collection, I've got one idea in mind:



Hooligan Sisters
Spirit Type: Support :starman::starman: Grab
Effect: Item Gravitation
Opponent: :ultpeach::ultdaisy::ultvillagerf::ultzss::ultzelda:
Rules: Stamina (1 HP), Timed (2:00)
Conditions:
- You have lowered jump height
- The enemy tends not to move
- Trampolines are placed around the stage
Stage: New Pork City
Music: Break The Targets (Melee)

One thing for sure is, Mimic got to be in the opening alongside Shantae, Risky and the FttE, so he must have an even more important role this time.

What are the odds that we'll get pixel graphics again?
