Shantae (USBIV)

Shantae is a downloadable character in Ultra Smash Bros. IV and is considered to be a newcomer in the series. She was confirmed at the third wave of DLC characters alongside with Wonder Red, Dillon, Banjo & Kazooie, Sora and Shovel Knight. She's also considered as a third-party member of this game since she was hired by WayForward (Capcom in the early days) alongside with other 3rd-party members like: Mega Man, Pac-Man, Sonic, Black Mage, Bomberman, Bub, Rayman, Cloud, Bayonetta, Dillon, Banjo & Kazooie, Sora and Shovel Knight. In her titular series Shantae, Shantae is the main protagonist of her games and is part of a half-genie powers and half human. She can turn into animals with her genie powers and goes on adventure by stopping the pirate army to save her land. Most of her moveset is based of her games, when she uses her long tailed hair as a whip-lash weapon, her other weapons and her magical abilities.
Cristina Valenzuela reprises the role of the voice acting for Shantae like in two games from her such as Shantae: Half Genie Hero and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. Some of her voiceclips are recycled from her games to this game.
Shantae ranks the 31st place of the 103rd (A) in the tier list, ranking her as a top tier character, behind Pit and after Corrin.
