Give me one actual reason Shantae of all people should be in smash that isn't based on fan polls and the fact that she existed for a while.

Attached: DymNzOiUUAAVkb4.jpg (1000x1000, 83K)

What the fuck even is that white thing

Popularity is the biggest factor that matters, evident by Banjo.
That being said, Shantae is not popular enough to be playable, but if she had none she wouldn't atleast be a spirit.

Her toolkits from the various games could translate into a fun moveset for Smash.

Banjo had more than just popularity thanks to an actual N64 legacy, but popularity was what brought him above others.

Moveset potential.

But in all honesty you should kill yourself

Shantae is just fapbait. If the protagonist of Shantae games wasn't just pandering, the games would rarely be talked about. and fade into obscurity.

Hopefully it'll happen anyway as they are mediocre platforming games

>ARIGATOU SAKURAI-SAN *starts crying and sobbing*

And they say the basedboy thing is american only

Never understood the Shantae pride for Smash.
Like, it was only for the moveset potential ? There are plenty of other characters that have a moveset potential. At what moment did Shantae became a popular pick ? Is it for the Indepedant rep ? If so, Shovel Knight, Isaac or even Frisk are more interesting for the representation. It might be just for the Waifufagging.

Attached: DISSAPOINTED HUNF.png (476x411, 12K)

That's actually a good point, by our standards those are all relatively cute boys, whereas in reaction videos here it's a bunch of 5/10 fat mutts

It's both and how she has had decades of games at this point, all with a history on nintendo systems

Basically she's the perfect hipster smash pick for the cereal mascot crowd

This was just Nintendo holding up their part of the deal with Squeenix.

Sakurai: "We want Cloud and maybe Geno this time guys"
Squeenix: "hmmm... Maaaaybe ...
I dunno, we don't really need you to promote FF7, that will sell on it's own.

We'll give you Cloud and 2 songs, if you put Dragon Quest in the game. Those games do terrible in the west and we want a slice of that sweet Fire Emblem pie."

Sakurai:"..... Fine"

Oh give it a fucking rest already. They're genuinely happy. Dragon Quest means a lot to Japanese video game fans.

There’s no rhyme and reason to which indies get big. Why is Kanna from Blaster Master Zero 2 Inti’s most popular character? How did Mighty get the most money out of all the indies? How did Hollow Knight go from a small beginning to a well known name within a month?

Smash is a ticket to popularity and that’s a constant.

>doesn't include the best one

>implying Sakurai didn't jump at the chance to put Hero in Smash
DQ3's one of his favorite games of all time and he reveres Dragon Quest, just look at the interview he did after the E3 2019 announcement about how concerned he was about properly repping DQ in Smash.

As if Sakurai conceded for DQ. Shit is absolutely an honor for him. Stupid ass Genofag.

You're being a little bitch because you think fans being happy about something is "unnatural behavior".

Imagine being entitled over a videogame's roster of characters.

Will he ever get a new game? Fucking Bubsy got three this decade.

4 and 5

>At what moment did Shantae became a popular pick ?

The moment Wayforward themselves told people to vote for Shantae for Smash 4 and even made mockups.

he wouldn't really work in modern day, he kinda thrived on the perfect storm that was everything in the 90s.

I hate the fact that so many characters had arguments made for them with a point being "the devs want them in" like no shit, most devs will want their characters in Smash Bros, it's such a dumb point to make, but it was unironically a huge argument people used to make for characters getting in.

Speaking of Bubsy, was Paws on Fire any good? How much did it sell?

Who owns the rights to Gex now?

>she has had decades of games at this point, all with a history on nintendo systems
Yeah, but many characters also have that criteria. Altough, i agree that it's pretty much the fake ''''''dissident'''''' pick for those who like shitting on popular picks.
Indies are a very weird case for Smash. But if one day an indie rep got in, that would be Shovel Knight, since it already a assist trophy. (For the next game, why not ?)

Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

Most people have been saying it's the best Bubsy game, but that's not a hard barrier to hit, plus the game kind of stealth released, I doubt many people knew the game was even out.

You know what? Out of the candidates from this generation we actually got a good fucking grapple-based character with some showy character. I cannot understand why so many people hate fucking Incineroar if not for salt over the Grinch leak.

That only applies to Shantae
MSF, Milky Way, Catgirl needs Salad, Lit, fuck even their Licensed games are top tier.
Wayfoward is the maximum example of "We're good at everything except the thing we're known for"

Gex cameo in Final Fantasy when?

Yeah I think Shovel Knight would be the sensible pick since he’s lodged himself into the title of “The Indie” through sheer cameos.
Smash gives popularity even to characters who aren’t in though, simply appearing on Smash speculation is a boon.

>toolkits from the various games could translate into a fun moveset for Smash.
You could literally make this a copy pasta and just replace the name. This is probably the most generic argument.

Devs wanting their character in adds to the popularity for a pick for sure, but its not entirely around that. Again, many other characters have this criteria (example : pic related). But i don't think it add chances to be in tough.

Because there were hardly any new female characters introduced in Ultimate, and that's bullshit. We should have at least gotten Lyn (most popular lord in Heroes) and Ashley (WarioWare Gold promotion and unique magic character), but nope. Let's put in cereal mascots and barabait.

>Lynfag
>Ashleyfag
OH NONONONONONO

Why?
I have never played a shante game and don't intend to. I have enjoyed several Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest games

>Because there were hardly any new female characters introduced in Ultimate
Inkling
Daisy
Leaf
Dark Samus
Isabelle

Did Shantae's creator seriously ask the fans to vote for her? Holy shit how fucking embarrassing

Why don't dqIII and IV nes have any hacks that undo the stupid censorship? The remakes suck dick.

Daisy and Dark Samus are only echoes so they don't count. Isabelle is a semi-clone. Leaf doesn't count because you play as her Pokemon. Meanwhile, we got Ridley, Simon, K. Rool, Incineroar, Piranha Plant, Joker, Erdrick, and now Banjo, all of whom are full-fledged newcomers.

Plant isn't male

*Hero
not Erdrick, whoops
Yes he is. He shares the same victory theme as Bowser & Bowser Jr.

>They didn't introduce new female characters
>They actually did
>NOOOOO THOSE DON'T COUNT BECAUSE OF MY MADE UP RULES
Okay then, go fuck yourself.

>I don't know what "hardly" means
Are you dyslexic?

That theme is for Mario villains. Wendy has that theme too.

>Changes the subject because he knows he fucked up
Kek. Also, that would mean they also "hardly" introduced any males since they added 5 females and 7 males

>If so, Shovel Knight, Isaac or even Frisk are more interesting for the representation.
Reimu's the only Indie. worth putting in.

For Reimu, she can be in for Ultimate, since Touhou isn't represented yet, but i doubt it, since indie games are mostly western and Touhou is only the japanese indie game that is popular.

If she isn't, that means Indie rep will probably be in the next smash, and that will likely be Shovel Knight, potential assist trophies tend to become fightable characters (Maybe Reimu can have her own slot, being Western Indie vs Japanese Indie)

Cave Story is Japanese. Yume Nikki is also another very popular one.

I wanted Erdrick a lot actually. You don't know what people actually voted for on the ballot.

He's the closest we'll get to Goku though.

If Sakurai wasn't scummy and actually mentioned that the Ballot would have been used for Smash Ultimate, Waluigi would have been guaranteed to be playable.

>wow look mom I didn't want Zoma, am I special yet???

>Lyn (most popular lord in Heroes)
But that's Ike

Attached: 1560268879161.gif (813x665, 123K)

Yeah, but i don't see Cave Story or especially Yume Nikki as IP for the Indie rep and overall, Japanese indies games are just less popular.

Shovel Knight, Undertale, Super Meat Boy, Braid, Fez, FNAF, Limbo, FTL, Hotline Miami, World of Goo and so on.

Those games have more the indie aspect and bringed an original game mechanic idea or something similar, while Cave Story is mostly Metroidvania like and Yume Nikki, while good for experience, really don't bring much for gameplay. Touhou is the most likely and most popular since she popularized the ''Hell shooter'' genre., indie games are mostly on pc and since PC gaming is kinda niche in Japan, a Western Indie rep is more likely.

yeah...how dare they show their fans they agree with them and support their flagship character getting into Smash.

thats like asking your kid to eat cookies you made, they're gonna do it anyway, asking is just a formality.

I'm bummed out because Incineroar is just a run of the mill grappler. Pokemon has so much potential for fighters, but we got the most boring possible option. Incineroar's moveset should've been moved to Starman and another Pokemon should've been added.

Tsareena would've also sucked too.

finally a reasonable user in here.

I personally think that while she doesnt outrank Shovel Knight or HK in any one thing except maybe length of history, all the stuff Shantae does have gives her a slight potential edge in being playable, its honestly hard to think of who could be playable first given sometimes ATs get upgraded by next game and sometimes even super likely ones to us fans just dont like Takamaru and to some Ashley or other Shadow.

Shantae DOES have an online icon in Smash Ultimate which is an odd outlier given her status in the game as a spirit only representation.

I would loved Primarina cause Id want to see how they do a Pokemon that doesnt really have "limbs" that function well as arms or legs in traditional sense for a fighter.
