Well this thread is for people who want to see the Half-Genie in Smash bros. Wayforward seems to want their mascot in Smash Bros and she seems to be the perfect fit so I figured I'd start a topic where we can discuss her role in the game.

Shantae has a series of skills that range from: Genie Abilities, fighter skills, Pirate gear, and items. So picking a moveset should be no problem.

Okay so for a move set here is what i'm thinking so far:
The order I chose is based on the following pattern
1. Item
2. Transformation
3. Pirate Gear

Up B:
1. Float Muffin
2. Harpy's Flight
3. Risky's Cannon

Standard B.

1. Pike ball (Charged attack)
2. Mermaid Shot
3. Risky's Pistol

Side B:
1. Fireball X3
2. Monkey Claw
3. Risky's Boots

Down B:
1. puff Cloud
2.Elephant Drop
3. Risky's Sword

Explanations:

Up B
1. Similar to Peach's hover. No damage, allows Shantae horizontal movement.
2. Harpy flies as long as B button is held. Transformation ends once you touch ground.
3. Shoots a Cannon ball downward giving Shantae an extra jump. Cannonball does damage to does it hits. Potential Meteor.

Standard B
1. Hold B to charge. The longer you charge, the more pike balls you get and longer it lasts. Up to 3 balls and 15 seconds. Will follow shantae wherever she goes.
2. Can shoot up to three rapid fire bubbles. While transformed, shantae remains stationary, can't move til transformation is over.
3. Shantae shoots a single bullet from pistol. Does medium damage

Side B
1. Similar to R.O.B.'s Laser. The longer unsused, the more damage it does. Lv.1 shot, single horizontal shot. Lv.2 shot 3 flames, 1 straight, 2 diagonal. Lv. flamethrower.
2. Similar to bowser's claw, only faster and weaker.
3. Shantae dashes thru enemies, harming everyone. Requires lenghty horizontal distance, won't stop til distance is covered.

Down B
1. Landmine effect. Drops cloud which detonates upon contact or after a set amount of time.
2. Elephant drops straight's down causing a meteor effect on everything in it's path.
3. Identical to Link's down Air a.

I threw a few votes for her already. This is probably the chance for her to finally get in.

She is probably the indie character I'd be the most ok with seeing get in. Here's hoping she gets in over Shovel Knight!

I've been meaning to post her standard attack move set but stuff keeps getting in my way. So I'll just make a quick list of possible moves

Up A:
Boot (2 hit spin kick)

Neutral A:
Hairwhip

Down A:
Crouched Hairwhip

Air A:
Sash (Spinning Drill Kick)

Side A:
Heavy Kick

Side Smash:
Cuff (Charge)

Up Smash:
Tiara (Twirl attack)

Down Smash:
???

Dodging with shield can easily use the 'Backstep' move animation.

It should be noted a Japanese eshop release for Shantae: Risky's Revenge DX is in the works. Not sure if that will help her chances as dlc since it most likely won't be out until next year, but it definitely will help spread the word about her to Japanese players.

It should also be note that the indie game "Runbow" has a wide assortment of Indie characters in it's roster, yet Shantae is surprisingly absent.... Could it be because her trademark already has been handed over to smashbros?

That video=96,000 views.
96,000 views = 96,000 People possibly exposed to Shantae.
96,000 people exposed to Shantae= A ton more votes.

She can do it :shulk:

Wayforward shared that video on their FB page. Also on their FB, a fan asked if there was any chance that we could see Shantae in Smash. Wayforward replied: "We'll let you know when we do! :D"

Shantae Pirate's curse is getting a physical copy for 3DS in Japan. :D

Wonder if this will persuade Sakurai.

Hello Backers!

We'll have a full Shantae: Half-Genie Hero update for you VERY soon! But in the meantime we’ve got a special message from Half-Genie Hero Director Matt Bozon:

Hey Shantae fans! I hope you don’t mind my hijacking today’s Backer Update. But with only a few days left in the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot, it seemed like a worthy cause. First, we’d like to say thank you to everyone for voting to include Shantae’s in the Super Smash Bros. series. Numerous independent polls have placed her near the top of the list of hopefuls! We don’t have any idea how these votes will be categorized and put to use, but any way you slice it this is great news for Shantae. Even being recognized as a contender will help with the future success of Shantae games. So thank you very much for choosing her!

If you’ve yet to cast your vote, or know someone who would like to see Shantae added to the Smash roster, please use the links below! As backers, you’re over 20,000 people strong. So you can make a real impact over the next few days. Just please remember that win or lose, it’s all for fun! We’ve had a lot of fun speculating, making concepts, and sharing ideas with you. Good luck and keep voting!
