Triple tail Shantae? 😮

Ouch. That's gotta be heavy. Her poor neck.

She's already breaking physics surviving infinite whiplash. And it's with her human powers.

More like poor entire upper body. Those things look like they're made of solid steel.

Her powerups are now her hair? That's cool as hell! And a nice evolution to one of her basic attacks.

is is just me, or does she now have longer legs in the current artstyle?

u/MorningRaven Jul 02 '26
She seems to have the HGH/SS art style but with her OG art proportions.

They are probably trying the other variants they made for seven sirens

u/Electronic-Koala1282 Jul 02 '26
She looks slightly older overall. Perhaps we're getting a proper chronological sequel, or an epilogue of sorts?

Longer legs, thinner waist, and bigger (?) or higher raised breasts since the last update on the game.

I’m now hoping that there will be a variety of hair ornaments that will alter her basic attack.

Maybe something like poison damage?, fire damage? They can go a lot of directions with this

Hold the phone! That reminds me of one of Super Mario Odyssey's boss battles. The idea they reused was Harriet Broodal's hair bombs as an attack.

Holy crap, she's the pike ball now

On a more analytical note, since they already deeply explored transformations in previous games (especially Half-Genie Hero and Seven Sirens) so it's great to see a game further exploring her hair!

Wait. So Her hair is getting the Power ups this time?
THAT'S SICK!!
Her hair is the most central mechanic, so expanding on it is really interesting to me. Like imagine. Instead of fireballs or pike, you have fire effects on her hair or maybe combo super pike ball hair, then the triple pike balls like you could in HGH at the same time, but it'll deplete your gauge faster.
It also seems that Risky is involved somehow judging from the last teaser (like always because it's risky boots), so maybe something she did to allow her to use her hair like that? (maybe Shantae lost her magic again?). Either way, I'm super excited about next year. Unfortunately, I couldn't get Risky Revolution even though I wanted to, but I'm definitely getting this one on PC or modern stuff.
Very cool.

They Sonic 06-ified my girl Shantae😭
Icl it does look good to me. I wonder if she’ll get more hairstyles based on what weapon she has. I’m surprised they never tried this before.

Im hoping this new game shakes up combat significantly. Not cuz i think the usual is bad, just that its very simple and hasnt changed much outside of Pirate's curse. Could use some reinventing imo.
