Shantae is one of my personal favorite protagonists in gaming. She's one big ball of energy and determination that just makes me happy whenever I see her. I think she's really underrated too.

Hay, I'm sorry to bring you this kind of news but I think y'all need to be aware of this.

It's really great that you took a crack at Shantae. A lot of people take for granted how much of a struggle this series had to go through to get the popularity it has now, it's one of the many reasons I hold this series with so much respect and I'm glad you covered it so eloquently while relating it back to the character. I don't think any other video game character can take Shantae's spot as my favorite

@manuelalbertoromero9528 4 года назад

Admittedly, this is one of the reasons I tend to support her being included in Smash. Though Shovel Knight may be considered the face of Indies, Shantae is generally not that far behind, largely due to her being one of oldest indie characters to have existed (Or at least a precursor), her long history with Nintendo consoles, and overall the struggle her franchise had to go through to get to the point where she is in terms of popularity.

I've actually met Shantae's voice actress Cristina Vee, and I asked her how she was introduced to her role as the voice of Shantae and where it all started. I even have a video of her Q&A event from Fan Expo 2019! Now this might sound kinda cheesy or cliche or something, but it really felt like I was meeting Shantae herself in person! Now I'm not just saying that because she was literally the voice of Shantae. She had the same funny, charming, enthusiastic, lovable etc vibe as the characters she plays! Then again if you're familiar with Cristina Vee's work and the untamed talent she possesses, then I don't really need to explain much. If you ask me, having Cristina as the vocal representation of Shantae is like a match made in heaven!

For a little fun fact, Shantae's particular style of belly dancing appears to be Oryantal Dans; which, yes, originated in Turkey. It's, of course, not to be confused with Raqs Sharqui, which translates into the same thing, "Oriental Dance." Raqs Sharqui is the one that originated in Egypt, and while being more energetic and the dresses more flashy and revealing than Raqs Baladi, it still isn't as energetic as Oryantal Dans, nor the dress as flashy or revealing as the Turkish style. As for wanting to romance the green girl, all I have to say is, "Of course." Or, should I say, "Of *corpse.*" XD

Shantae for GameColor got the spotlight for that segment in one of their issues. Because of that, many people who recognize the game or were vastly interested got WayForward's attention which was enough to give them one last chance to get Shantae in the green.

One thing I've always liked about Shantae's design is that it doesn't feel too fanservicey. Like, even though we never see this girl with her torso fully covered, it doesn't feel like that choice was made to draw in horny gamers to drool all over her. Her attire feels completely appropriate for her character and the game's setting, and it would be jarring if she wore anything else as her main getup

@D_YellowMadness 2 года назад

Female characters with sexual designs & traits are usually either weak & pointless to the story or have personalities that are at odds with their design/mannerisms but Shantae has none of those problems. She does sexy dances because she likes it, she dresses how she likes to, she's tough & determined, the world doesn't fold in on itself to stop her from accomplishing anything, & she's confident & energetic enough for it to all feel consistent. It also helps that she has abilities that are triggered by her dancing so it makes sense that she's acting that way in battle. It really distinguishes her from all those female characters in other fiction who go into gun fights or sword fights barely clothed while all the men around them are in full armor. She's also not one note. She has nuance like a real person. She's able to be sexual in some ways without being sexual in all the possible ways. Normally, a female character is 1 of three things. 100% sexual all the time, romantic all the time but never sexual, or so devoid of romantic or sexual traits that she could be asexual for all anyone would know.

Keep doing what you do.

I haven't played either game but I do think it's a shame that in the indy retro gaming scene, she's completely overshadowed by characters like Shovel Knight.

Thanks for the background. For years iv seen hentia of her and iv rubbed a few out in her honor. Nice to finally know who she is

Such an awesome video, thanks for looking at Shantae this time

Shantae's music is fucking orgasmic. I mean they pretty much get right inside your head from the start - just as infectious as classic tunes like from Super Mario.

@ConekillerConfuzor 4 года назад

Excellent! Love this series and I love Shantae's games. A wonderful combination.

Shantae has been and is still one of my personal fav character in gaming, so I'm always glad to see her getting some love~

@supahsonic96 4 года назад

I’m so glad i picked up half-genie hero when i did. I hadn’t really heard much about her until that game, but learning how bumpy Shantae’s past was but Wayforward pulling through anyway really is inspiring. Can’t wait for Seven Sirens.

@TwisterTH 4 года назад

Wow! Didn’t expect to see Shantae on your show!

@BigFearedBalloon 4 года назад

I find it also interesting how her struggles technically keep happening as well. Shovel Knight released around the same time as Pirate's Curse (who Yacht Club Games were original WayForward Employees), so Shovel Knight took a big spotlight and during the Half Genie Hero Kickstarter, it was released during a major kickstarter…. Might No. 9, so she was competing against the kickstarter that ended up raising $4 Million. Honestly though, I think despite these struggles, she seems to keep pushing forward getting a bigger and bigger audience each time, and if The Seven Sirens does well, I hope she gains even more popularity. and obligatory, I want Shantae for Smash... I hope she makes it as one of the DLC in the future.

Damn, this is some faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantastic work man. Was in a Shantae music mood today and stumbled upon this, and it's definitely earned a sub from me!

@dotunfadairo8496 4 года назад

I adore Shantaw. Thank you for covering her. I do hope you get to play the games in-depth later though

I found Shantae thru Risky's Revenge and fell in love. I wanted to play the original, but was floored by the cost. Fortunately, it hit the 3DS eshop too and I've played every game sinse. Easily one of my favorite series.

@RickySama240 2 года назад

I knew of Shantae's presence through RU-vid and other media. It wasn't until I finally got into the series recently due to Steam's game sale and loved it as a platformer! When i do get into a different series i usually watch analysis videos about and i really enjoyed yours DiGi!~ :D

Great video, I love that character! But i still cant understand why there wasnt a single moment of Half Genie Hero in this video, as its the beaultiest game in the series with the best artwork.

Epp Digi talking about my girl Shantae! WOOT! Anyway, very nice job with the video, Shantae became one of my favorite characters in gaming ever since I played Risky's revenge and really excited about Shantae 5 dropping soon. Also, a Shantae Visual Novel........WAYFORWARD DO THAT!!!!

@rainythemagician8830 4 года назад

I miss the old intro, but I like how this gets straight to the point.

@pufflepoint 5 месяцев назад

As a diehard fan, I was a bit skeptical when you mentioned you hadn't played any of the games, but you have given one of the best analyses I've ever seen about this series! You hit the nail straight on the head here, man.

eventyraren Honestly it’d be a way to go out Plus all of the zombie characters in that series both don’t seem hell bent on killing all humans, nor do they look like they’ve lost any brain power

Loved this 'Who Dat'! I have always found this character and game series intriguing, never got around to it, but always remembered this iconic character. Been watching a lot of vids lately and hopefully will play the games soon!
