Spider, I would put emphasis on grab power, and possibly give extra range to Shantae's moves, at the cost of either slightly reduced damage or attack speed on normals. It has always been about clinging to things one way or the other, and the venom ball in the original was one of the best ranged options there was. I suppose in this way you could compare it to Ivysaur. But don't forget the human form needs specials too, besides dancing!
For sure the forms can be implemented as glorified moves. I would just be careful of focusing on cramming as many forms as possible at the detriment of functionality; the classic four at minimum serve well enough to represent the series.
Works for me, I do want harpy and elephant at least. Focusing on the earliest and well known abilities would be similar to
in that sense (depending on what WF would want).I can only recall him saying that there's only 2 more opportunities to bring us these presentations.
On the other hand, I insist they use the modern Half-Genie Hero interpretation of Spider. Add in a smattering of Seven Sirens transformations like Octo Jet for the standard human recovery and she should be set.Works for me, I do want harpy and elephant at least.

Not really because, Rex & Pyra would have been two separate CPUs like the Ice Climbers and like the guys said above, Pyra/Mythra was the less taxing version of that since only one CPU is on the screen on the time. For Shantae's case, think of her animal transformations like Kazooie. Banjo is the only CPU and Kazooie is really just a weapon or extension of Banjo in the game. She isn't a separate CPU like Nana is to Popo. Shantae's animal transformations would just be brief transformations that would act as her Smash Attacks and Specials. That wouldn't take up as much space as Nana because they wouldn't be a separate CPU. You get what I'm saying?
The harpy and elephant are a must if you're going to make her a shapeshifting fighter. A threatening creature with free fight and a behemoth that hits like a truck seem like a no brainer.Works for me, I do want harpy and elephant at least.

Not really, as it was never a given she would get a Mii costume to begin with. I could totally see this pass going by without any sign on Shantae at all. Obviously, I would love to see at least a Mii costume if not playable fighter, but there's always the chance that... we get nothing, as sad as that is.
That is one possibility. It's either nothing or she gets in. No Mii Costumes, no Assist Trophies (which will never happen to begin with), nothing. There is no other choice other than not putting her in or putting her in.
Heh, yeah I got it when meleebrawler explain it, but thanks anyways. I kind of misinterpreted the point Sakurai was making, my bad!
I'm not really expecting to see her get a Mii to be honest. They could make her work visually, but it'd still be kind of awkward. Not to mention she doesn't really fit any role specifically (Though they could make her costume fit all of the Mii roles and give swordfighter a Scimitar and gunner a Pistol). Having her hair as a colorable wig with physics would be awesome to have in general though.
It's only three months until June, so it won't be that long.
Ooh, this was more in-depth than I expected it to be. This is great!
Felt like more than half of the video was about Risky's theme. It's not brought up a lot when talking potential Smash songs isn't it?
Update: The Shantae and the Seven Sirens patch should now be available on PS4 and Switch as well!

I hope they were able to fix the problem of the sound lagging behind the video. That'd be pretty good
No wonder I got a update for Seven Sirens yesterday on my Switch. I was wondering about that since I can't remember the last time I got a update for that game.
I'm also curious as to when the GBC Shantae will come to the Switch. Turning my Switch into a Shantae machine with the whole series in one place.
Speaking of which y'all, Tinfoil Hat Theory:
God only knows. I really cannot tell about WayForward’s toying secrets
Still think they're holding out for the 20th anniversary next year. Especially if Udon's artbook somehow gets delayed yet again.
Don't worry, my more reasonable assumptions tend to come true later rather than sooner.

Why?
Because I just kind of left the site a while back, and then came back after a few weeks, before spending the last couple months on 2 other forums and just leaving this one dry. I just wasn't sure what else to say when coming back here.
You don't have to apologize.
That's cool. I look forward to seeing you speedrun this game in the future in (Any). So are you going to upload your run to YouTube or Twitch or both?I know I'm behind on this and this isn't the thing that we usually talk about on here, but I figure that news is slow right now so it shouldn't be a big issue.
So can I brag for just a moment? I decided yesterday that I wanted to do a 100% speed run of Seven Sirens. I usually get stressed out with speed runs so I never attempted one on any of the Shantae games before. Anyway, after I unlocked the final area of the game, I realized I had a chance at the any percent super speed run. So I made a copy of my file and tanked my way as fast as i could to the final boss...
Barely squeaked by with 25 seconds to spare lol. That was stressful, but I'm amazed I was able to do it. And the 100% speed run will be a breeze with 2 hours to finish everything off.
No. I didn't record it and it wasn't done in one sitting, the only evidence of it is my save file and this screengrab. Besides it's hardly breaking any record or anything. The only thing remarkable about it is how close I came to not making it at all.
Well, I said look forward to your future run. While you might not believe me, I speedrun Goemon's Great Adventure. I never recorded any of my runs though. I too plan to upload my runs sometime.

Captured and driven into a rage by Techno Baron, the enormous Giga Mermaid is the boss of the aptly named Mermaid Falls in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero. After being freed (and beaten in battle) by Shantae, Giga Mermaid returns to her goodnatured ways. #WayForwardSpotlight pic.twitter.com/3W7dTJ0NPr

It's understandable. Seeing as besides maybe the artbook launching later this month and the current nonexistent launch date for the Switch rerelease of GBC, there really isn't anything Shantae for me to talk about right now myself.
