Description What's that noise? Shantae thought to herself. She was sure it was only midnight, but light was coming through the window. To make sure she wasn't mistaken, she got out of her bed to look outside. She squinted her eyes to adjust to the massive glow in the sky.
That was not the Sun.
Shantae gasped, unsure what was going on, but it wasn't pleasant. Voices called out to her asking for help, worlds were being destroyed and their bodies turned into Spirits. It looked like Shantae's world was next.
She wasn't certain, but even without a body, she was sure she could help, even if it was small. She got changed and dashed out the door, but not before reassuring Uncle Mimic she would be okay and return soon.
Shantae leaped off the ship and onto the bridge. Looking up, she saw beams flying everywhere around her, and she was next.
But this isn't the end for her. It's just the beginning of an ultimate adventure.
----------
I kinda wrote that quickly so it might look like crap.

One month until Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and I'm so excited, but let's talk about 'World of Light' for a bit.
Easily one of, if not, the hypest thing in that November Direct and it looks like a lot of fun. Midway through that trailer though, we saw our girl, Shantae!

As I stated before, I'm fine with this, at least she's being represented at all. I mean, I'd like her to be a fighter especially considering she isn't in any other Fighting Game despite being heavily requested, but this will do for now.
People are hoping for Shantae as a DLC Fighter, and I'd like it to happen, but you were to ask me, I think she's done. I don't think she's getting in Ultimate as a playable character. The DLC roster has been decided so no amount of tags will help, if Nintendo chose her, then they did.

This comic is a continuation of this  and... well is just supposed to lead into 'World of Light'. Might be a bit weird in writing and presentation, but I hope you enjoy this anyway.

Very cool!
I really hope she's DLC but I won't get my hopes up.

100% agree. Don't think it's happening, but it'd be a dream come true.

Think it would be cool to see her in another comic as a Freed spirit, looking for a willing fighter to pair with in order to fight Galeem.

I mean maybe I will. Obviously I'd have to wait for the game to release, see how it all works and stuff.
Other than that though, I was considering doing a post-Smash thing, but that'd take a while, like after the DLC is all out. I'd say her chances in Smash as a playable are rock bottom by this point, but it's still possible.

Shantae is a useless sticker.

Oi, she's in at all. No need to get so upset about it.

Not quite, she's a sticker.

Plus, the stickers really doesn't disconfirmed the characters

She's in the game, therefore, she is.
It's not like characters who aren't playable are suddenly invisible.

Mewtwo managed to be a DLC despite being a prior trophy, Spirits pretty much count as the new trophies (being as they are the remnants of the obliterated beings of the world of trophies) so I'm crossing my fingers hoping that her smash 4's voting ballot fully pays off and she becomes more then a spirit

That's very nice. I like it.

Unfortunately, she's probably where she's gonna stay. There's hoping, but...

GameSquid In reply to TheGreenGale [2018-11-07 12:00:48 +0000 UTC]

We can only hope, but yeah. I think she's done.

The only reason I'm just a very tiny bit miffed is because she hasn't been in any Fighting Game. Blade Strangers, Rivals of Aether, nothing. It's very odd.

Well at least Shantae is a spirit in Ultimate. But anyways this is great!

This looks interesting. Is this an ongoing story?

If Shantae ever gets in as a playable Fighter in Smash Bros (even beyond Ultimate), then sure. But this otherwise, is a one-and-done deal.

so great! Was shantae finally revealed???

GameSquid In reply to Shipping-Guy [2018-11-07 08:07:57 +0000 UTC]

Shantae wasn't revealed as a Fighter, she was revealed as a Spirit within Smash Ultimate.

I'm fine with it, keep in mind the circumstances. Some people aren't okay with it for various reasons, but imo, they're acting childish.

Ok maybe we get her still. don't loose hope
