Pirate's Curse was her without magic like mentioned, also, if the transformation is only used as a single attack such as Up B turns Shantae into a Harpy to fly around a little before turning back to normal, that might work as Kirby has his Stone
I think her transformation attacks would be more going in and out of transformations similar to kirby going into stone kirby for attacks.
Actually, I think he has a strong chance to return. Konami as already expressed interest in bringing him back, so it really is up to Sakurai and Nintendo. Considering that Sakurai stated that the whole DLC thing is "about makiing fans happy", that Snake is the most wanted TP and he is also a veteran (way more easy and chep to develop) I think he is one of the most likely characters!
If Shantae does make it in, then I'm pretty sure they'll go with the pirate gear instead of the transformations. The way she uses them in Pirate's Curse screams "potential Smash Bros moveset!"
It could happen.
Yeah, that's the exact article I had meant. Also, your view about the article is very well explained, I must say.So, nothing new then, and I'm assuming @Yellowlord meant the same article. Thanks, now I can spare myself the loss of brain cells.
"Too sexy" is not an argument. Shantae's general outfit actually shows less skin than Zero Suit Samus' alternate outfits, she's no more raunchy than Palutena's freaking pole dance, and let's not get started on Shulk's beach shorts. There are more suggestive things in the game already (and all of these were ragged on pretty hard, but still kept). Besides, Shantae's outfit is traditional genie/dancer garb to the point where I'm pretty sure it's even been in a few children's shows. "HOLY @#$% THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!1!" does not apply here, and shame on anyone who thinks so.
Honestly, I'm starting to doubt that "indie" is even a valid argument anymore - mind you it was never an acceptable argument, but people at least had some kind of point in that she was obscure. The thing is though, that obscurity has been massively stomped flat if that physical ad space beside Nintendo's IPs is any indicator. I'd be comfortable calling Shantae a geniune third-party at this point, and I'd be happy to see someone that isn't a devout supporter share that viewpoint.
I meet him in Risky's Revenge, dude's great!@JamesDNaux , have you met Barracuda Joe yet?
Quite possibly the funniest scene I've ever encountered in vidya.
At this point I'd like Shantae in just to send all these people to the salt mines. It would be glorious.
Wait, so hating a character increases their chances?
If I had to guess, I would imagine the transformations would be used on an "attack by attack" basis. (Like Kirby's stone attack as mentioned previously.) Only being used sparingly to get the "essence" of the character across, while borrowing heavily from either Pirate's Curse and/or her "regular" attacks from the previous two installments to round out her move set.
I am right there with you. 100%
Meh, I dislike that video. I understand its meant to just be a joke, but its honestly not that funny. And while I do agree that Shantae should indeed be the only indie character for the game (she is the most plausible indie rep, after all), I feel as though there is no need to reference that video.GUIS SOTP! CANT U SEE DAT SHANETES TOTES SEXIT YO!?
By the way I think Shantae is the only Indie Character that should be in Smash.
WE NEED MORE BELLY DANCING DAMN-IT!!!
That would be amazing! I would feel like the happiest man alive if that happens xD
This picture is hype as heck!https://twitter.com/Zenox1987/status/599569168338460672/photo/1
How can you even say no to this? Like, really.
I love this. This, plz. :3This picture is hype as heck!
Excited for Kirby Shantae tho. Also, I feel like a picture of a Kirby with a Shantae hat should be in the OP as well.
Like this picture!
As amusing as that would be, I think that's the number one reason why any dancing for a transformation neutral special move wouldn't work.
Maybe the elephant charge should be Shantae's final smash and operate similarly to Ganondorf's?
Perhaps, but in that case wouldn't it be Zero Suit Samus, not Power Suit Samus?
Yeah, I think Zero Suit Samus is what they intended, if I had to be honest.
Just for speculation's sake, if that is in fact Power Suit Samus, then I think it would probably be intended for armor reference, right?
I think you're grasping at straws here.
Oh yeah! He does, huh?
You have a point. Either way, it is a theory. Besides, Smashified has said they will be smashifying 2 characters, and the most likely candidates are Issac and Shantae, both of them popular requests to be Smashified.
They didn't step up because:
I guess you can say this will push Shantae WayForward in her popularity.
Why do you even need for people to acquiesce? If you think it's worthwhile to show, then go ahead.
My bad. This might sound silly, but I just don't want to go off-topic or anything on the current subject (the tweet), so that's why I asked if you guys wanted to see it. Anyways, here's the image:
