Shantae FOR SMASH! (Character Moveset Concept #4)

[@MrMariosonicman]

out of everything you said, I think the one difference id have is having the idle animations be based on Stamina remaining and percentage taken. so we can have the critcal health animation in there. Regardless this is the best moveset I have seen for shantae and it gives me hope to see her more then ever.

[@memperkasaya2078]

Watch BrawlFan2’s Shantae Moveset. It’s good, but not as good as PDMG’s.

[@transorm987]

I really like that you didn't use the pirate weapons. I agree that they don't really fit her whole style and that other features are more defining. Though, I personally think her smash attacks should use other transformations though.

[@rexrabbiteer]

well, look at King k rool for example, his moveset references every one of his main appearances. Crown throw from dkc 1, Pirate hat and blunderbuss from dkc 2, helicopter jetpack from dkc 3, and boxing glove from dk 64. they can do the same with shantaes moveset.

The pirate weapon would work better if they ever do the extremely unlikely thing and add risky

[@thecapitalisticdictator2256]

I like the moveset but it sounds so broken lol. Like we have kirby style recovery, Zelda style specials, Bowser style charge smashes, and Simon's neutral a. Either way I want her for smash ultimate too

[@cmo8627]

I think when she charges a smash attack, she should be dancing before the attack sets off. In addition, she can have different transformations based on her charge-up on the smash attacks. Similar to Peach's forward smash.

[@ITheLoZKingI]

"The best character, Rottytops." Damn right.

[@mechacode8527]

Indeed

[@OmegaX5000]

Really great video! I like how you went all-in with the moveset instead of only focusing on the special moves and Final Smash like so many people tend to do. Whenever I see those types of moveset videos, I think to myself "Ok, that's everything for the B button, what about everything else? Oh, they're moving onto another character. Guess they couldn't be bothered."

[@paperbort3669]

Here’s a challenge for you. Create a moveset for the Tetris block. Maybe it doesn’t need to use moves from their game, like it’s side B could make it move like the snake game

[@legitelrac]

PaperBort The down-B could be changing it’s form

[@mr.fotocopyador223]

It would be better a man made of Tetris cubes or something like that

[@NoahPopejoy]

I recently got into Shantae. I started with Pirate's Curse and when I finished that game, you were right. You could make an entire moveset based around that game. Because I did. And then I played the other Shantae games(except the original because Switch) and realized that Shantae had so much more potential that I hadn't tapped until playing those games. At this point in time, Shantae is my most wanted Smash character because I just think she's perfect.

[@shadowspark]

Excellent move breakdown and video! It’s very nice to see how much love you guys show for her games and smash bros itself.

I'm planning on buying it, I knew that it was out on the Apple store but I preferred to wait till it came out on PC.

[@asa_andromeda]

Spyro Jyro Very cool! I think I still have to finish PC then HGH before getting it though

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Good implementation of her transformations, you can't have her without them but what always stumped me when trying to think of a moveset was whether or not the dancing to activate them should be kept, but ultimately I figured that'd have to go to make her fit the quick chaotic gameplay of smash, like you did though I would have included the pirate weapons in some way, at least the cannon jump. Great idea for the taunts though, that's a hilarious yet awesome concept. Overall, would love for her to be playable in smash bros someday, whether or not it's ultimate or a future title. She's one of my favorite game protagonists and wayforward deserves the recognition, as well as this awesome series. Great video as always Pizza

[@pizzadudemanguy]

Thanks!

[@3eve0n]

[@littlebigb5370]

Right?! Nintendo take notes.

[@macofphilly]

Back watching this now that spirits officially don't deconfirm #Shantae4Smash

[@rileykong3417]

Shantae could potentially have the biggest moveset in smash if you make her neutral b the transformation dance. It would work like monado art/hero's magic. You could choose out of for transformations that rotate in selection. The transformations would last a certain amount of time, but you could cancel it by pressing the special button. Each transformation would only be able to use neutral attacks and smash attacks. Each transformation would also have different physics. For example, elephant would work like shulk shield, being heavy with little knockback. As far as her nontransformation moves, those could come from risky's revenge and pirate's curse.

[@WaddleGreen]

One of her outfits has to be the pajamas. I'd fricking play the heck out of that outfit. Anyways, really great video. This is probably my favorite for smash video from you! :D

[@ethanhethcoat3144]

As great as the Jammies™️ are, they unfortunately wouldn’t work too well, as Shantae needs her hair tied up to attack.

[@TF2Fan101]

‘It’s up in the air whether or not spirits and assist trophies can become fighters.’ Me: Yeah, about that.

[@amandaslough125]

The taunt idea is genius and must be added. This is such a fantastic moveset to use everything at her disposal, but also thank you for avoiding to use her pirate gear. I know the gear could make its own moveset, but Shantae is a half-genie who needs at least some magic somewhere and Kirby needs to copy something that was always used in Shantae instead of a one off game, like her fireball. Your alt costumes are pretty clever too, even without defaulting to using white for her pajamas.

[@psb123x]

This is hands down the best "For Smash" yet. And I'm not just saying that because it's talking about my most wanted character. Rayman and Waluigi (Haven't played Undertale so haven't watched Sans) certainly were clean and coherent concepts that added enough unique factor to make them stand out (more than enough in Waluigi's case if you ask me) but this one went above and beyond. The genius use of transformations, the extra inputs for a couple of tilts, I even appreciate the leaving out of the Pirate Gear. Makes Shantae's own abilities feel more important. And technically opens the door for a potential "For Smash" for Risky Boots as well. Don't think I didn't notice that you were hinting at the idea of that ;) And the Final Smash? Like the moveset as a whole, best one I've seen yet. At first I thought "Friends to the end" was the best Final Smash for Shantae, basically like Shulk's Chain Attack but with Sky, Bolo, and Rottytops joining in on the attack, but I kind of like Mermaid Bubble better. Awesome job pizzadudeman. And in the (sadly likely) event that Shantae doesn't become playable in Ultimate, I'm going to have to re-create that Shantae Mii Fighter.

[@pizzadudemanguy]

Thank you so much! I really tried to make this concept as best I could, so I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed it. Here’s hoping we get some of our favorites as Ultimate DLC!

[@Ven-zg3fj]

Hey! this was a great video! I'll admit, I've tried to come up with movesets for Shantae before, and you are right that there is just too much so much to work with! I think the decision to mostly leave out the pirate gear was a smarter choice, as she technically borrowed those moves from Risky. However, I think implementing them a little bit into her moveset would be a decent decision only because her most popular game is Risky's Revenge as far as I know. I think maybe just changing her Dash Attack into the scimitar charge would be a good shoutout to Risky's Revenge. Otherwise, I think you made a good call. Another comment I would like to make is that she is sorely missing her trademark "Ret-2-Go!" I was trying to think of ways to implement this since you used all the taunts on her dancing. I realized you never talked about her stage entrance animation. I think Shantae could quickly warp into the stage, spinning around like when she warps in the game, then quickly do an idle dance animation while saying "Ret-2-Go! Or she could just say while she is warping in. I think implementing her different transformations to work automatically was a great and creative idea that would smooth out her playstyle. Although I am not sure the changes in character stats would be necessary or would work very well. For example, I think instead of having her have different airspeed stats for her normal and harpy forms, she should just have above average airspeed in general, with the harpy form benefitting her with extra jumps. This was a great video! #Shantaeforsmash

[@Wyvern201]

At first I was on the fence about this idea, but honestly, you've convinced me, this really works. I'd say that neutral special should be a charge attack, having 3 tiers with one, two and finally three fireballs at the end.

[@ethansumner688]

I have never played Undertale but I still really think the Sans moveset you did would be awesome. Excited for Shantae!

[@Obsessor23]

I really hope Spirits don't discount future characters, Shantae is probably my most-wanted character that's feasible (my other most-wanted character is Lara Croft from the classic Tomb Raider series). And this is probably my favorite moveset I've seen for her so far, I like how you managed to incorporate her transformations pretty seamlessly into her moveset without expressly making them character transformations. Though I have one suggestion; when I tried to figure out what Shantae could do myself, the Final Smash I came up with combined the Dance minigame from Shantae GBC and Obliterate from Half-Genie Hero; Shantae begins to dance as hordes of gems are frenziedly tossed up at her from off-screen, juggling characters similar to Rosalina's or Bowser Jr.'s Final Smash, or like a less extreme version of Olimar's Final Smash, with an aesthetic bar quickly being filled on the side of the screen, ending in a magical explosion when it fills

[@psb123x]

I hope they don't either. Which makes it a good thing that literally the only way they possibly can is if the developers purposely decided to make characters Spirits knowing that they weren't going to make them DLC. From a technical standpoint, there is absolutely nothing preventing a character who's already a spirit becoming a fighter.

[@pizzadudemanguy]

Thanks! I like your Final Smash idea.

[@BigFearedBalloon]

I hope so too, for a lot of fans. I mean I enjoy surprise characters but personally, Smash 4 DLC sucked for me, with me just taking the free Mewtwo and being on my way. Joker is a good start but I'm worried that is going to be the highlight for me, which would be disappointing (despite how much I enjoy Persona 5 through LPs).

[@BN10702]

Boy I have news for you. MIN-MIN

[@mariogamer6491]

Her transformations could be taunts and her pirate equipment could be her base moveset, she could switch between spider, monkey, and elephant by taunting. Idk I think it would be cool

[@spicy_shumai]

... *sigh* So I am here one last time. Rip, my girl. You were my dream since DLC became a thing in Smash 4, a very unlikely dream. But at least I can see you now in one of my favorite games, so that counts for something. We will dance through the danger ♥

[@TF2Fan101]

Here's hoping Shantae makes it as DLC in another fighting game, because she deserves it!

[@BigFearedBalloon]

Man this was very enjoyable. As a Shantae fan (of the newer side, I haven't played the original or Risky's Revenge) I just found it enjoyable how much of her character was represented in a single moveset using transformations as just simple animations for attacks rather than actual transformations and was done pretty great. Pirate Gear, I think can be used well, but I can see why it's not the best choice (though I'm going to be honest, I would be satisfied with just Shantae, as I don't really have enough want to see Risky Boots in Smash if Shantae got in through a miracle). Thanks for the great video, I can see you did a lot of research here. Honestly I hope Shantae gets the next game soon (It's been a while surprisingly) and I hope to see what WayForward can do (honestly I think one thing I would want to see them do is use the Mouse Transformation better, using it as something similar to Mini Mario and have more platforming sections.) Whelp time to keep on hoping with expectation of nothing. Keep support strong everyone, and then we can help Shantae get into smash one day. #ShantaeForSmashDLC

[@dreamlanderjoel8162]

I recently got around to playing Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and I really enjoyed it. The game was fun to play and pleasant to look at and the music was catchy as hell! I'm definitely interested in playing more Shantae games in the future. Anyway, now that I'm a Shantae fan, I'd definitely like to see Shantae become playable in Super Smash Bros. I liked the moveset you gave her but if I were to make my own moveset for Shantae I'd probably try to think of a different way to incorporate her transformations into the moveset as I feel it would look kind of weird if she drastically changed form every time she performs an action as simple as a grab, double jump or air attack (although I do think turning into an elephant for Smash Attacks could work well). I like that you always try your best to reference the source material as much as possible when coming up with Smash movesets, but in this case I feel like giving Shantae a simple grab and double jump would look better. I think this comment is long enough, great video, looking forward to more episodes of FOR SMASH!

[@dinglepuss8594]

Bro keep up these awesome for smash videos the concepts and attention to detail are amazing. (BTW Risky with a pirate's curse moveset would be so cool)

[@pizzadudemanguy]

You bet I’ll be doing that some day! Thank you for enjoying my videos.

[@furyberserk]

I made a moves list too. Used everything. 5 transformations, all pirate gear and items. Kind of messy. B moves are pirate, down b in air is canon, grounded is dance for magic meter, grabs are transformations, smash are fireball, stormpuff and pikeball. Neutral b is a pacman style choose item.

[@jothamsalifu5933]

This is a FANTASTIC video. I'm subscribing for sure!

[@AzazelSylphson]

Great video, man! I love the idea for this moveset, It sounds hella fun! Personally, I think it would be better if her neutral special had a charge mechanic, like if you just press it quickly it has just one shot, but holding it down gives it the three that spitfire has. Regardless, this was great, and I hope that spirits don't actually deconfirm characters for DLC. Worst case, we can hope for the next game.

[@akshaymonick5808]

I'm not sure if you take suggestions or not, but I would love it if you could do a moveset for the Battletoads.

[@crazyface1839]

She would definitely work as a character

[@RacingSnails64]

Even though I'm of the school of thought that thinks being a Spirit really decreases a character's chance to be a fighter, and even though I've never played an actual Shantae game myself...I'd really love to have her in Smash and am actually starting to hope she gets in. She's just kind of infectious and deserves to be cemented alongside Mario and the others if her series has gone on this long and continues to this day. She'd fit in SO WELL and this video expresses so with downright painful accuracy :)

[@PaperoozyProductions]

*min min would like to know your location*

[@thepaintingbanjo8894]

Great concept video. Although I think it's really best if Shantae's transformations worked on their own special button slot, like Shulk's Monado but works like Pokemon Trainer. Use Down-B (so it won't be a total headache to give Kirby this kind of power). Keep it to her main classic forms - Monkey/Elephant/Spider/Harpy with their own special movesets that line up with her games. To keep her from being broken, the forms should be temporary with a hefty cooldown. So it'll be like this: B - Spitfire (obviously) - although it should be hold to charged for three shots while tapping B will give you one only fireball - Kirby would love it Down B - transform, scroll up/down/left/right for one of 4 transformations Side B - Pike ball - works like MegaMan's Leaf Shield sans throwing it Up B - Make it like work Storm Puff but you can ride on it as a recovery like the cloud in Jammies Mode. So it can still shoot thunderbolts, but only below her. She still has a hitbox when hit from above so it gives her some vulnerability.

[@ma.jbrony1754]

Great video, man!!!!😃👍🏾 I'd LOVE to see Shantae in Super Smash Bros Ultimate!!!

[@CrimsoniteSP]

I think this was probably the best attempt at a Smash moveset for Shantae, and I sincerely mean it. I think you did a great job, and I want to say this because I don't agree with it 100%. I like a lot of design choices (mermaid in water, monkey for recovery, harpie in air, ect) but each one comes at their own flaw and would make learning the character frustrating. It's not like Shulk and his arts where you pick and choose your flaws at will or decide not to use arts all together. It'd be more like Mega Man, where each flaw is forced onto the character and looks like character spaghetti. Trying to stay true to the character more than character's flow in Smash. Leaving mastering the character to only those whom truly love them. I'll keep it brief on my opinion but I actually went the opposite. Ditching the transformations for more of Risky's weapons. She can glide on her hat, use her gun similar to Mega Man, use the sword for more attacks or attack variety potential. Using her transformations and magic for specials or Final Smash potential. It's like you said in your video though, Shantae has a ton of potential in her moveset. It'd be interesting to see, if she made it in, what the devs would do.

[@furyberserk]

I like that you used her 5 first transformations, but monkey bullet and 4 harpy jumps makes her either very good or very bad.

[@rexrabbiteer]

yep, I remember seeing Shantae for the first time in a nintendo power magazine (I think it had a gba on the cover) it was an advertisement for the game boy color game, I recall loving the design of the character and thought how much she reminded me of the ranma 1/2 series. years later I found out that Ranma was in fact an inspiration for the characters design

[@justinjyeung]

Shantae really does have a lot of potential! Alex.EXE also put up a nice video showcasing her abilities. Also, for her Spitfire special, you mentioned it's the upgraded version of her fireball spell. Wouldn't it also be possible that there could be different charge levels for it for the different fireball spells?

[@CaptainWobbs]

I never got why Squirtle has to drown. I mean, Ice Climbers don’t slip on slippery surfaces, so character-specific terrain bonuses are already a thing. But as long as all characters have to drown eventually, I think it’d be neat if Shantae swapped back to human form when this happens, almost like she ran out of juice.

[@tjackknife6590]

From my understanding, the Marvel vs. Capcom series gives each character three different movesets and you can choose which one you want to play as. I'm not sure how different the movesets are, but if there was another Smash Bros after Ultimate and Shantae got in, she could definitely benefit from such a mechanic, having different movesets that rely on her transformations, her human fighting skills and her weapons from Pirate's Curse.

[@dustindump]

I gotta tell you something. If she gets in smash her up special will be the cannon ball jump, because it has a meteor affect for those below her.

[@olekidsf]

[@pizzadudemanguy]

[@loganbondoc6627]

how about Shantae's Final Smash is Obtained Dance with sucking in by the magic lamp that has Nega Shantae in there plus extreme power that can take down opponents.

[@estebanramirez1178]

I like the way Shantae works. It reminds me of a combination of Shantae/Nega-Shantae in the fangame of Super Smash Bros Crusade. Believe it or not, you drew quite a few similarities of their traits from those separate characters. By the way, that game TOTALLY predicted most of the new mechanics in Smash Bros Ultimate. I also suggest you try Super Smash Bros Crusade. It's really fun and exceptionally well made.

[@ClassifiedRanTom]

I liked the final smash but i could also see a hypnotic dance type ability that exerts a wave of purple magic. The wave grows out from around shantae to the beat of the music that plays. As tbe wave spreads out it pushes enemies away (like jigglypuff) until it finally explodes and shantae is granted a small buff. (Like +speed or -percent or +dmg)

I personally prefer the art style from Half Genie Hero, but I know a lot of people adore the Pirate's Curse designs. That said, nice job on her moveset as always. Shantae is a character I've grown to really like in the past few years, and i would love seeing her be the first indie character to make it as a fighter

[@pizzadudemanguy]

She would definitely be a really exciting addition to me.

[@BigFearedBalloon]

There are elements I enjoy from Half Genie Hero, like some facial animations, the new hairstyle, the leggings being more puffy and larger gauntlets, but I would like to see a mix between that and Pirate's Curse. I feel like Pirate's Curse has a lot more movement throughout the character portrait sprites and the eyes work very well and looked pretty great. Hope one day Shantae makes it. #ShantaeForSmashDLC

[@hero_star_]

1/2 Genie Hero was the only one I've played, and I'm a sucker for more hand drawn styles. Personally, pixel art for indie games are way over used.

[@BigFearedBalloon]

I think pixel art works well. There are just a lot of resources that have to be balanced when doing these types of work and gameplay most of the time should be a focus, so they concentrate on that and use Pixel Art as a way to create nice art without too much work. As someone who is learning about these things, it's a lot of work to create these things. One sound effect or animation can take a lot of work to create, and then you have to put all the pieces together in a buggy mess until it is in a "playable" state. There is a lot that goes into making a game... hope you enjoyed the mini long talk.

[@SuperSwordman1]

I actually thought about this too. Only since Pirates Curse is probably my favorite out of the franchise, I did include two pirate weapons for her specials. I also didn't spend as much focus on the transformations, due to me wondering how that would effect her stats as a character. And largly made up a final smash for her. At least based on something she used in Pirate's Curse. Which as I said, is my favorite.

[@themightybullfrog]

I love the concepts Though for the final smash, instead of one attack from one transformation, It should either be a combination attack that starts with a web attack from the spider to hold the opponent in place, and is then followed up with Shantae rapidly switching between every form she has and all of them getting off one attack (including those that don't actually have any attacking moves), finishing off with an Elephant Charge Alternatively, it could be a single, huge attack from Rottytops, Skye, and Bolo working together

[@dr.zzeuss7145]

A few suggestions: Lightning Dance (I think thats how its called) for Up Smash because it looks really cool. Three jumps because balance.

[@Wpoiyttvhfth]

Can you do a moveset concept for every neopets character

[@remytyndle3504]

Dancing Pose: 0-49% Damage Battle-Ready Pose: 50-149% Damage Critical Health Pose: 150%+ Neutral Special MUST be her transformation dance, then follow up with an animal attack based on a directional command. Forward Smash: Heavy Kick. Up-Smash: Spin Kick, which can be chained with... Down Air: Drill Kick. Neutral Air: Scimitar Final Smash: Dance Parlor. Input the right commands, more gems are flung on screen, hitting the opposition.

[@firemaster9293]

Agreed! Shantae has so much potential in Smash!

[@Mudkip971]

I think since Sakurai enjoys gimmicks in characters I think instead Shante should have her Down Special be her Belly Dance. It will work like it did in Risky's Revenge where it goes from Monkey to Elephant to -Mermaid- Harpy. Basically each form she takes controls very primitively compared to her base form and she can go back to normal by pressing B again even while being in mid air and maybe she turns back to normal if hit too many times. -The Monkey form will give Shantae more height while jumping and makes her more lightweight. The only attack she can use is claw swipe like in the first game. But she can also cling to sides of stages and if pressing an attack button she preforms the Monkey Bullet. -The Elephant form makes her very heavy (almost like Bowser) and a a very bad jump. Her two attacks her dash attack and the stomp attack which all have super armor. -The Harpy form gives her slippery movements on the ground and she can jump (fly) as much as Kirby (5 times). Her only attack is swiping her Harpy Talons. Her other specials could be: -Up Special: Risky's Canon which could work like Robin's own Elwind with being able to shoot a second canon ball at the press of another button. It would work well with my transformation idea seeing as she will be more easily be able to transform back off stage and recover. -Neutral or Side Special: Should be either her Fireball or Spitfire. I disagree with your video. I think her up and down Smash should make her use the Storm Puff while the elbow dash is her side Smash. Her Dash attack should be her using Risky's Boot's. Her hair twirl should be her up air while the drill kick should be her neutral air or forward air. Her down aerial should be her scimitar.

Shantae 5 confirmed! If she was the next DLC fighter that's shown off then that could definitely help promote the new game Also at 14:42 I can see you're a man of culture

[@jennifergriel861]

Now that Seven Sirens is out. I have one change that I think should be made. The Mermaid Bubble now just becomes a thing Shantae can do while swimming. This makes her the only character who can attack while swimming, but it's properly balanced to not be broken. Besides, when are you ever gonna even NEED to attack while swimming. The Final Smash then becomes her Fusion Dances from Seven Sirens. When activated, a menu akin to Shulk's Monado Wheel or the Fusion Menu from Half-Genie Hero pops up and then you can quickly pick which of the four fusion dances you want to do. But if you don't pick one quickly enough, she will just default to the Quake Dance.

[@screenwatcher949]

YOUVE CONVINCED ME. THE TAUNT DANCES IS WHAT DID IT

[@bronzemuseum504]

love those videos, people just have no idea how much characters have potential because they dont bother checking the games out. Im really curious what the last 2 dlc will be

[@Bradcraig94]

Great video, man. Nice ideas for a Shantae Smash moveset. I hope she makes it into the roster.

[@pizzadudemanguy]

Thanks, me too!

[@toon_link420]

With her idle animation I think that if you dont have any percent then she'll do her dancing pose and if you have percent then she'll do her regular idle pose

[@toon_link420]

Ok so I have a few opinions of my own. When it comes to her specials, I genuinely feel as if they can be derived from pirate's curse, kinda like how crusade did it (basically another smash flash). Her up b can be the canon, which gives you 3 jumps, but after the 3rd jump youre vulnerable. Kinda like how bayo's up b is (like how you can do it like twice i believe?) And also similar to snake's up b how when his runs out you cannot do it again (unless you c4 yourself). Her neutral b can be the gun from pirate's curse that doesnt have a lot of knockback added to it and doesnt really do a lot of damage either (maybe like 4%). Her forward b can be the sword (or risky's boots if we get technical) since the elbow is the dash attack. They can have the side b chargable. Down b can be all 3 pike balls that go away after about 7 seconds or so (because any longer would kinda be broken if they don't dissappear after hitting someone lol). Also in smash ult taunts are usually super fast but the idea of having 2 sets of taunts is super sick so I like it. For one of her victory poses and her victory theme, I think that it should be when you find an item in pirate's curse, animation included. And also, in smash ult everyone has at least 2 different types of spirits, rather they have different alternative costumes or not. For example, ike has both radiant dawn and path of radiance spirits, which makes sense for him to have 2. On the other hand, marth has 2 different spirits, based off of his FE art and the character select screen art, or you have mario which has like 7 or more. So another shantae spirit can be her pirate's curse alt from pirate's curse, looking like if they added the pirate's curse skin that you meantioned (also sick). Everything else im liking atm so very nice vid 💛

[@1wiz1]

And what about mighty switch force ? It's another great Wayforward games serie...

[@justhere6385]

I would enjoy it a lot, if you would tty to make a moveset for the Doomslayer or Doommarine. I believe it could be very interesting.

[@JacktheLightningRipper]

I will keep on praying that one day she'll get in Smash.

[@davidlubkowski7175]

I wanted Shantae before, this is great. Her animal transformations are the most exciting idea, and pirate weapons from Pirates Curse cos thats the only one I played. I also want Rusty from Steamworld Dig, Ori and Hollow Knight in terms of indies.

[@czarsaber3326]

I think the magic outfit from Risky's Revenge/Pirate Curse would make for a good outfit as well as the ninja and beach outfits from Half Genie Hero.

[@elemomnialpha]

No Princess outfit costume? Shantae is the one character that I see pretty much everyone give a different moveset and they all make sense

[@GalactaKiller]

Yeaaaaah ... Maybe TOO revealing

[@elemomnialpha]

@@GalactaKiller I mean, it isn't that much more revealing than Crystal's outfit (at least I don't think it is)

[@amandaslough125]

The princess outfit has a skirt, which would require unique animations entirely so it would flow correctly. And she already requires extra work to incorporate any transformations. Thus it's perfectly ok to ignore it.

Sorry but it’s already confirmed that the dlc *was* being considered before release, so shantae probably won’t happen. But who knows? We got cloud, anything goes with sakurai

[@JoseR1207]

Your analisis are nice and intetactive :D May you make about Crash, Banjo and Spyro later please?

[@KLGB76]

I want Shantae in Smash with her Princess Outfit as one alternate skin !

[@cammitalbainshoku4253]

That would be pretty sweet to have, but you know the rules and so do I.

[@icepopz1152]

I’d drop every character I play now to strictly main Shantae. Currently doing my 5th playthrough of Pirate’s Curse and awaiting my collector’s edition from LRG. Great video, subbed btw!

[@pizzadudemanguy]

Thank you!

[@topsecret770]

You should do Agumon (from the 1997 video games, not the 1999 Toei animation one.) He's a Bandai Namco icon. Pokemon vs Digimon needs to happen.

[@SpiderManNintendoFan]

If you're taking requests, can you do a moveset of Lilac from Freedom Planet?

[@Sly_Explorer]

Can you please do Frisk and or Kris you are super creative with making move sets so you can think of something.

[@rocketleague2640]

Also, since the new game has been announced i think it would be an amazing idea for her final smash to be from the new game, seven sirens where she gets to choose between all her 4 dances in that game. Heal heals her and allies, and stuns opponents for a short time like daisys, electric deals damage to all enemies and stuns them kind of like zss neutral b, earthquake deals heavy damage and knockback to all grounded enemies and last but not least, seeer would 'see' some kind of thwomp-like blocks above all opponents, resulting in guaranteed hits, but weaker then eartquake.

[@maxamillion6042]

DUDE SHE MIGHT BE GETTING INTO SMASH BRO

[@kadet2027]

She is going to be in smash because they are announcing a new shantae game during the smash season... hmmm
