imagine if Shantae gets revealed its all in the artstyle of HGH the trailer begins with SHantae fighting off Idk Inklings or Mario or Palutena.
Actually, I've always prefer The Pirate's Curse ArtStyle for Shantae & Risky Boots's treatments when coming in Smash 4 Future Updated Patch 3DS/WiiU & especially Smash 5 Switch!
I'm way ahead of ya:
Not to be rude, but most of that was just your own tweets and I couldnt see if most of them were even retweeted by anyone with wayForwarrd.
Thanks

voting risky boots is pointless and also unneeded.Again, everybody please hurry up to go vote for Shantae & Risky Boots 4Smash5 now on these two links: https://www.strawpoll.me/12228707 & http://www.tricider.com/brainstorming/2cPuDwLrGxJ Well, GOOD-LUCK voting y'all & especially #Shantae4Smash5 & #RiskyBoots4Smash5!
P.S: I'm fully aware of The Smash 4 3DS/WiiU versions development ended back then, but I've strongly doubted dat fun fact because Nintendo shall make Smash Bros. a Big Juggernaut Money Making Tree for DLC versions 4 Smash Bros. 3DS/WiiU & especially The Nintendo Switch! Please watch this video:

Actually, you're Wrong Sir:
I almost thought she was flipping the bird lmao. Guess that'd be her reaction to the Smash Ballot, huh?
Thanks! Yeah, the DA watermark can be a bit distracting at times... I just kinda left it there so people know it's mine in case it's reposted anywhere. But I'll get around to making my own watermark soon.
If you ever do get into Shantae, make sure to play Pirate's Curse first, Half-Genie Hero next, Shantae GBC to get your history on, and maybe Risky's Revenge but I personally think you can skip that game.
I'm down for that

Not what I was hoping for, but not surprising. 18th isn't too bad, but it's a far cry from the sorts of results she was pulling a couple years ago. Reddit definitely has some community bandwagoning, so who knows how much these results really mean. On the other hand, I am pretty sure the Shantae hype has died down since the ballot ended and HGH released (still significantly above her pre-ballot level of support though I think). I doubt it matters now anyway, they probably finished picking out the new roster a long time ago. If they do DLC characters, there is a chance that current popularity will influence their choices, but even then I kind of doubt it.
I remember reading about that tour by Sakurai too, but I went looking for a source for it a while ago and couldn't find anything other than the same tweet that you shared:
Yeah exactly this. Shantae (and Shovel Knight for that matter) probably got close to zero votes in Japan during the ballot, which doesn't do her chances any good, but if they discussed Shantae at all, her localization and initial fan response in Japan would have definitely come up in that conversation.
Half Genie Hero isn't bad, but to be honest I don't think I would support Shantae for Smash either if that was the only Shantae game I played. I would tell you that you've gotta play the original Shantae game first, but everyone else will tell you that Pirate's Curse is the one to base your decision on. Storyline-wise it doesn't really matter that much, there is an overarching story but it's not that big of a deal.
Maybe I'll have to give this one a try after all. I played through the rest of the DLC, and it was nice, but I've played those levels sooo many times already.

I gotta be honest man, I think supporting Risky Boots for Smash is not just pointless but probably counterproductive. It's totally cool to want her in Smash, and to think she'd make a cool fighter. I'm with you on that: Risky obviously has great moveset potential, she's a distinctive and recurring character, and she'd be the first female villain (no Wendy doesn't count). But remember that even the Sonic series only has one rep. It's a big deal to include any third party character in Smash, let alone an indie character. Two characters from a single third party franchise is unheard of. Shantae in Smash is a realistic possibility, even if the likelihood is hard to gauge. Risky Boots in Smash is not a realistic possibility. Most people don't take non-realistic character requests seriously, so if you advocate for Risky alongside Shantae, you risk people dismissing your whole message. Of course there's probably no point in campaigning now anyways, so maybe that doesn't matter, but I would keep it in mind all the same.
It is confirmed at least the the last date the photo was "modified" which is when it was last changed or...when it was taken. the date in its metadata was 2 minutes before it was posted on twitter. There is also the matter of WHERE it was taken, as the only place I can see Sakurai and WF staff being at the same place would be E3...which was 4 months ago from the time of the photo being put up and well..why would James wait 4 months to post a photo like that?Sorry everyone for kind of dropping off the map for a while, real life has been kind of a ***** lately.

My conclusion is that someone saw that tweet and the picture shared by James Montagna, and then jumped to the conclusion that Sakurai must have been there touring their studio. We don't actually know when that picture was taken though, so unfortunately there is no solid evidence that the tour took place at all, at least not to my knowledge. It may have, the tweet is certainly still suggestive, but we just don't know.

Pretty good article, even if indie characters are slim to get into smash I'm hoping Sakurai will recognize that indies are a big part gaming history and will at least consider putting 2 indie characters which I am hoping for Shantae & Shovel Knight.
Hey, don't forget about our Pirate Queen: Risky

Boots in SMASH & Cristina Vee will marry me!
No shut up.Hey, don't forget about our Pirate Queen: Riskyaka
There was a problem fetching the tweet

I think the Vet goal would probably be the first to go, Example, as popular as Fire Emblem is due to the nature of the series everyone is kinda disposable, Are Corrin, Lucina, and Robin even going to be relevant in a few years? Is Ike relevant now? How many new characters is Fire Emblem gonna churn out that could take any of their places? Is Wii Fit Trainer relevant in the switch Era?
I get that everyone likes to dump on Fire Emblem at times like these but with Heroes still going strong and Warriors existing, all these characters are still reasonably relevant. Hell, there are six versions of Robin in Heroes. And we haven't seen what FE Switch will do.
