Description
Ah yes Shantae, one of the highly requested fighters that people have been dying to see as a Smash Bros. Fighter for years. Once she does finally join the battle, there'll finally be someone else that originated with a Game Boy Color game (which was also one of the last GBC games ever released), so far Pichu's the only character to've done so. Once her time finally does come for being a Smash Bros. Fighter, this is what I believe her moveset could be like:

For stage entrance in VS Mode, Shantae teleports into battle like she does in her own games.

Special Moves
*Standard: Storm Puff
With a move like this, Shantae holds a cloud up above her arms which shoots lightning bolts onto opponents.
*Side: Spit Fire
Shantae thrusts both of her arms forwards and expels a burst of fire onto opponents.
*Up: Riskey's Cannon
A Cannon from her archnemesis spawns underneath her (which can also float might I add in case anyone's wondering how it works in the air), firing a cannonball from underneath that she sits upon whilst being blasted up into the air a limited distance before the cannonball she'd been sitting on drops down, damaging any opponents that it collides with as it hits the ground.
*Down: Pike Ball
Shantae has up to 3 big spiked balls circling around her. Works a bit like Mega Man's down special, but only one spiked ball can be launched onto opponents at a time in the direction that Shantae's facing.

For a Final Smash, it would make perfect sense that it's Genie's Trap. Works a bit like the Final Smashes of Luigi since Smash 4 and Villager, where Shantae holds up a magic lamp sucking up nearby opponents whilst belly dancing in a similar fashion to how she sucked out the black magic of one of her enemies in one of her games.

For basic attacks, aerial attacks, throws and dash attack, Shantae attacks by whipping her hair, as well as using her arms and legs and using items from her own games. For Smash Attacks, Shantae can make use of her transformations from her own games to attack opponents.

For idle animations, Shantae can do something related to her personality, and she can do something she does when standing idle in one of her own games.

For taunts (I have no specific way of the input to say for sure):
*Shantae does a short belly dance.
*Shantae hovers into the air whilst extending her arms.
*Shante folds her arms and bows as if granting a master's wish, followed by her giggling.

For Palette Swaps, they can be based off the different characters seen in her games (both types of genies and other characters), some may even have a different clothing choice like pirate's gear.

When Kirby copies Shantae, he'd gain Shantae’s purple hair.

For victory poses, one can have Shantae holding up an item seen in her games, another can have her doing a victory dance, and another can have her doing successful dodges to incoming Pirate Cannonballs.

For a victory theme, it could be based off what was used as the Stage Clear theme in Shantae and the Pirate's Curse, though I must say it's rather short: m.youtube.com/watch?feature=yo…
