Meh can live without Shantae. Crash however deserves more of a chance.

Well, Shantae's a Spirit anyway.Β Doubtful fan demand (if any) is gonna fix that.

Tbh she would've been a good fighter. Tho I don't mind her being a Spirit. I was a bit dissapointed. But hey she's not all that bad. Hopefully she'll get in the next game.
Crash tho is good.

I'm aware, but I can't help but think that maybe Nintendo and Sakurai decided not to have Shantae as a fighter is because either she's more niche than fans make her out to be or that fans just want her for waifu material.

It's both actually. I mean her games tbf aren't much different than most Indie games during her Time. Same pixelated schtick as always and even if she moved to digital animations wasn't that much groundbreaking than the likes of....per say Cuphead. Who the staff literally had to hand draw each and every animation traditionally, make a new game engine and code in order for it to work, and literally sold out there home in order to complete the games development.
Not gonna lie Shantae is a good game. Mostly because my little bro plays it on his laptop. But the only thing ground breaking and historical thing for it is that it started the whole Indie thing.
Another is the Waifu thing. The problem with that is that. Shantae is like 16 years old in the games and due to her "attractive" design. Nintendo might be scared looking Pedophilic.

Nintendo is a very respectable company, almost like the Disney of video games...Β You know, back when Disney was good.Β Much as companies will push for their characters to be in Smash, both companies and fans alike have to be aware of restrictions, limitations, guidelines, and such.Β There's a lot that goes into negotiating, I'm sure.Β And, for presumably the same reason that we're not gonna see Mai Shiranui in any form in Smash Ultimate, we may not get a character such as Morrigan or even Shantae as a playable fighter.Β Sure, with Darkstalkers, Nintendo and Sakurai can give the Mai treatment to Felicia by leaving her out, but Morrigan may be taking too big a risk.
What you say is on point with what I think, no doubt.Β Perhaps other companies such as FoxEye and WayForward are not afraid to show "pedophilia", but a large company such as Nintendo is a different story.Β And even though they would take large risks, even they have their boundaries.Β And now for the tricky part - convincing the Smash fans of all this.Β And if they argue that Ariel was attractive for a 16-year-old mermaid with lots of red hair, I'd argue back that things might have been different back in the late 80's.

Tbh Crash seems more likely. He's been demanded far longer than Shantae. And also doesn't follow the same Waifu stuff Shantae has. Also less controversy. I mean it's Crash he's not a 16 year old overly sexualized genie in an Anime like game.
Also it be more fitting for Crash in this instance. Like Mario, Sonic, Megaman, and PacMan are in it. All of which are mascots. It be ininteresting if the former mascot of Sony got in.
Also the reason why Shovel Knight and Shante or any other Indie game characters aren't playable in Smash like Sans or Cuphead is because they didn't even bother to ask. Or cone forward. Before Toby Fox literally called up Sakurai go have a good time playing Undertale, Studio MDHR was the most straight forward of the Indie companies. They legit talked to Sakurai and Nintendo for Cuphead to be playable in Smash. And I quote:
"Cuphead and Mugman belong in Smash. All we need is some papers and were good to go"
And right after Tobey called up Nintendo to have a visit tl Sakurai's house and discuss Undertale in Smash and to play Undertale. Sakurai was obviously accepting of this and thusly we got Sans and Cuphead to he playable in Smash.
So it's basically boldness is what led to Cuphead and Sans to be playable in Smash. As Shovel Knight is reduced to an Assist Trophy ahd Shantae as a Spirit.
Hell, iD Software actually talked with Nintendo about Doomguy being in Smash and they're considering it.

iD Software said that Nintendo never approached them on the subject of representation in Smash Ultimate, though.Β It kind of rules out DOOM, if you ask me.

Oof. Well tbh they can ask Nintendo like the other Gaming companies like Studio MDHR and Toby Fox.

With Toby Fox, the result was a Sans Mii costume and not a new fighter.Β I'm aware that the company that made DOOM has expressed interest, but nothing between them and Nintendo ever reached a final decision.

Also even if Doomguy doesn't get in. At least I'm hoping for Mastercheif. I mean what with Microsoft's and Nintendo's recent partnership, I'd be more than thrilled to kill the ass of any Swordfighter as Mastercheif. Just to flex on them Lol

That's not really a good reason to want any character.
