C’mon, everyone! A fighter from an indie game would be amazing, let alone Shantae! If we can fund Half-Genie hero, we can make this happen, too!

Totally voted for Shantae. XD
Dunno how happy Wayforward is about this though. They weren’t too keen on the idea of her appearing on SSB last time I checked. 🙂

That’s the only thing I could find. Seems like they’d be okay about it but they never tried hard.

I’d love to see Shantae in Smash Bros., but if we’re being practical here, none of those games were released in Japan, so I don’t like her chances. If we want a WF character as a fighter, it might make more sense to vote for Patricia Wagon, since Mighty Switch Force actually made it to Japan.

Haha, just as soon as I posted that, Matt Bozon and that Kickstarter update launched the Shantae4Smash campaign. Perhaps sheer awesomeness can triumph over regional unfamiliarity – I really hope so, at least!

Have got a list of how the status of the votes looks like atm. Don’t know if it’s official, but it can give a hint about how it goes for our half genie. Do keep in mind there’s a lot of nonsens votes here, so it might not look as bad as it does for Shantae.

If Nintendo were smart about this, they’d pick game series that are currently active and voted.
Also, they should skip characters that aren’t the main character or villain of the story.

They literally could make **** load of money by adding pretty much everyone in to the series.
Sure, there are some technical limitations such as harddrive space plus the fact that every time there’s an DLC character, it needs to be downloaded.
Dunno how much does one character model and it’s moveset take space but I’d estimate at least 50 to 100megabytes in total by today’s standards.

No! You guys were amazing. So many new people got a chance to meet Shantae and our fan base was so amazing. It was totally not a failure. Quite the opposite!

@Sorsha-WF sorry, I was just really upset back then and I was hoping to see our fave hair whipping warrior represent not only her franchise, but indies in general.
