#SHANTAE GBA 2ND BOSS SERIES#

I, for one, am totally unsure if he's likely or not, but feel like he gravitates toward the middle of likelihood. Everything that's in his favor has a counterpart that isn't good news. One hand pins him as a decently likely character, while the other is that he's pretty unlikely. I'm going to be that guy and make the dead 'Whoa!' joke.Д¬hance: 50%. And of course, Xurkitree and Reaper are dream picks that probably won't happen, so they take 4th and 5th place. Banjo is the most likely, followed by Crash, but Bandana Dee's confirmation as a spirit hurt his chances quite a bit. In my top 5 most wanted characters for chances, he places 2nd. I played Crash Team Racing and absolutely loved it as a kid, and it later made me try out the original Crash game. He also has an interesting moveset to work with, including his iconic spin attack. (Also Sony dropped the stubbornness with Fortnite a while ago.) He also has Spyro the Dragon as direct competition, but I feel like Crash is more popular, and would generate more hype and money than Spyro would. 'But Crash Bandicoot is owned by Sony, and they've been treating Fortnite players like crap!' Thankfully Sony no longer owns Crash, and he is now owned by Activision, a company that is on good terms with Nintendo. Sane Trilogy was brought to the Switch before Smash Ultimate was announced, so that brings up his chances.

Crash's chances mostly depend on Nintendo's choices. Just imagine being able to let Mario duke it out with 2 of his biggest rivals at once in the arena. He was one of Mario's biggest rivals in the console market back in the 90's along with Sonic. His inclusion would be absolutely legendary, just like Sonic in Brawl. 'Hey plumber boy, mustache man, your worst nightmare has returned!'ДЄnother one of my most wanted characters, placing 4th right behind Banjo, and in front of Bandana Dee. Shantae hasn't seen anything close to the amount of support from Nintendo that Bayonetta has seen, including the time prior to Bayonetta's Smash inclusion. Nintendo had lots of reasons to choose Bayonetta aside from solely the ballot, simply because Nintendo had essentially adopted the franchise of one of their own. Once again, Nintendo personally promoted the absolute hell out of Bayonetta 2, to the point of coming together with Playboy, just to promote the game.

Nintendo has personally published the entire series from Bayonetta 2 onwards in every country where it is available.

Nintendo funded Bayonetta 2, resulting not only in Bayonetta 2 (and soon to be 3) being released, but the entire saving of the Bayonetta franchise.

Bayonetta 2's entire existence is due to Nintendo.

Considering there's no ballot this time around, popularity likely isn't exactly going to help Shantae whatsoever.Д®ven if you want to go with the idea that Bayonetta was chosen prior to the ballot, as data in earlier patches of the game suggest, there's still legitimate reason for Nintendo to choose Bayonetta, considering: However, she supposedly has the ballot behind her, in which she was said to have come in 1st in Europe, Top 5 in the US, and 1st worldwide in terms of 'realizable' fighters. That thought of mine hasn't changed, and especially won't change with Shantae.Д¬lick to expand.Bayonetta is absolutely not an icon. I've always thought that indie characters have absolutely no place as playable fighters Super Smash Brothers. She's hardly an icon, no matter how hard her fanbase may try to paint her as one. However, the real kicker here is how WayForward immediately rallied fans to get her for DLC, and immediately afterwards had Nintendo announce that all DLC picks would be picked by Nintendo themselves and will not be affected by ' fan polls,' essentially exposing that WayForward hadn't been contacted for having Shantae as a fighter, and instead was desperately trying to capture popularity once more, as it were lightning in a bottle, to try to grab Nintendo's attention once more.Д®ven in the case that both of these somehow didn't deconfirm her, I'm also not exactly sure Nintendo would ever want to choose her over nearly any other possible first party or third party character. Even while I'm no longer as adamantly on team 'spirits deconfirm,' I certainly don't think they mean anything good either.
