The Half Genie Protector of Scuttle Town, Shantae for SSB4 (WayForward wants her in Smash)

Look who got Smashified!

Oh, surprised this wasn't shown in here hours ago, but yeah.

People are saying his face and eyes are off. I agree.

Ditto.

 

[DoctorSanity]

He reminds me of a high-res N64 cutscene.

Not that that's bad or anything, but the way his face is structured just screams it to me.

 

[Wademan94]

And the fact that's it's sung by Shantae's voice actor, says that she is a singer as well.

Well Cristina Vee has her own Vocaloid persona (with the punniest name Veecaloid)

Look who got Smashified!

That is sick! one of my other most wanted newcomers for Smash!!

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

Mind Blown.

Shantae X Vocaloid confirmed.

 

[TheRickyWill]

Mind Blown.

Shantae X Vocaloid confirmed.

If that happens when the Shantae series makes it to Japan, Wayforward needs to make a deal with Crypton for that.

Unless SEGA wants to get in the way.

 

[Wademan94]

Here's the "Veecaloid" by the way (and before you ask, yes the bottom one was made by Alex Ahad, the creator of Skullgirls)

 

[Mikegamer0608]

I'm finding more interesting things from this japanese guy it seems japanese might prefer more third party characters then minor Nintendo characters.
I'm quoting him on this:

That is surprising. Does that mean Japanese would like even more third party characters now?

  It's up to Japanese fans. But I think many want to see third party very popular character rather than minor nintendo Characters. And nintendo already put all very popular nintendo character on Smash Bro long time ago. So, they want to see third very popular characters more.

Seconded. It's not a bad render at all, but the whole head feels off to me. The eyes, mouth, hair, the whole thing. I also think the leather boots and gloves clashes too much with the plain jane blue outfit he has.

I wish it was more specific... like which third party characters. The Japanese have very interesting taste...

Imo, it looks like a Brawl and Smash 4 hybrid to me, both design and texture wise. It's not bad, but just "weird".

And here's the video for anyone interested.

I see a Melee render with Smash 4's shading and lighting.

I could see that, too.

Especially if you look at a character like Roy.

It's funny, as they did bring up Roy in the commentary. So I wouldn't doubt that that could have used him for a reference.

 

[Felix the Slayer]

Some of rhe users over on the Isaac thread have already tried fixing the weird looking face, mainly the eyes, and yeah I agree with what others have said about the face. But other than that it looks pretty good, and also this is actually their first fully 3d art they've done since starting Smashified.

Wasn't that Mother 4 one a 3D Model?

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

Wasn't that Mother 4 one a 3D Model?

Partially. It was mostly 3D, but was edited slightly by Omni in Photoshop.

 

[KeyFortune]

Am I the only one who thinks that Isaac looks perfect in that render? It really reminds me of the Era he's from.

 

[TheRickyWill]

Okay, Shantae getting into Smash seems to unrealistic for something to be revealed at Nindies@Night, but Wayforward's recent twitter posts might mean a MSF 3 announcement.


please

Full teaser:

Clearly the WF devs are planning to open the MSF academy, where students learn how to kick babies to safety

Also, wasn't everyone talking about a possible Shantae animated series yesterday? I always though MSF would be best for that, since Patty Wagon has a pretty great voice and hilarious backstory for it.

Yeah, I always thought Patty and the Hooligan Sisters would be great for funny animated shorts.

I think Shantae would feel better as a Comic Book, in my opinion.

Definitely wasn't expecting this for a sequel

and I could see both Shantae and MSF becoming two great animated series in the right hands, like MFS as a series of shorts like the recent Mickey Mouse shorts (probably a bit longer) and Shantae being a full 11-22 min Steven Universe-esque series

 

[TheRickyWill]

I like the comic idea more, personally.

Especially considering how that, in Wayforward's case, it's much cheaper and less reliant on marketing, especially if it's a webcomic.

That, and they may have more control.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I thought Patty was a Robot. O is it like Futurama where they have unnecessary human features like reverse alcoholism?

 

[SuperSegaSonicSS]

She is a robot. /spoilers.

But she can do "human" like things I believe, but at the end of the game, like Metroid style, she reveals she's a robot.

Here are the confirmed characters so far for Super Mario Maker.

 

[DoctorSanity]

Finally I have a reason for my Samus amiibo.

Lord knows I don't use it in Smash.

Playable Resetti?

Yep, Resetti and even Slippy from Starfox is playable.

Good points, but I don't think that just a webcomic would give Shantae as much attention as she deserves, nothing wrong with comics (I love the Super Mario Adventures comic), I would buy some Shantae comics if they were produced, and I know that Wayforward doesn't make as much as they deserve to, but if they had the resources and budget, I think an animated series would really let Shantae shine, heck I wouldn't even mind an animated web series, look how popular Bravest Warriors has gotten. Personally I'm just a bit more partial to this idea since some of the currently unmet stretch goals for Half-Genie Hero were full voice acting and animated cutscenes

Is there somewhere that lists what amiibo unlocks the corresponding costumes on here? I can't find it on the amiibo website

All the costumes can be unlocked via completing a 100 Mario challenge as many as is required.

Some of them can be unlocked via Amiibo so you can play with them from the start.

Frickin Slippy Toad but neither Dixie or K. Rool or any other Kong for that matter. There's Donkey Kong Jr though.

*sheds a tear over Pikachu and Charizard*

What could have been...

Edit: Well there's Samus at least. People can make their own Metroid games with this albiet with a 500 second time limit at max...there's two spots between Samus and the inkling squid, and I know number 60 is Zero Suit...if number 61 is Ridley I'm going to **** a brick.

At least we have Waluigi.

And wouldn't it be hilarious if 40 was another 3rd party character?

There was a few extra edits, if you're replying.

i'm tired

I'd **** bricks too.

Ryu?

I'd probably be Ryu once the amiibos come out

So all of these costumes can be unlocked by playing the game? You don't need the amiibo, that having them will just unlock them automatically?

That's correct. You can unlock them all without having their amiibo, and some characters here don't have an amiibo but can be unlocked anyway. Having the amiibo just unlocks them from the start. The best way of going about it.
