also, why is down strong smaller than her actual model?

i like the character, but i feel like up strong is way too laggy to use, as if you miss, you have to wait until you land to to anything.

Love the character but the specials feel super underwhelming and down air is basically a suicide button in it's current iteration.

Love the character, but all of her moves feel way too slow

Also the hitbox on fair could hit a slight bit lower.

looking great, but there are a few things that could be changed:

this character feels a little bit too laggy. Specials could be given less end lag, especially down special. Either make it chargeable like said below, or make it come out faster and have a larger hitbox.
I think the hair attacks could maybe come out a tiny bit sooner, or have a tiny bit less end lag.
up strong is way too laggy. Either have the animation end when she is midair, or let the player drift left or right while she is falling.
Her jumpsquat could also be reduced to 4-5 frames instead of 7, because it makes the character feel less sluggish.

Her down air needs to be refined as you can't jump out of it if you using it off-stage.

Ok, I love this moveset but I have a few problems with the frame data and knockback of her moveset.
Neutral Special: has a little too much end lag, the move would be better if you gave it more hitstun and damage.
Down Special: could be a little more useful if you can charge the web and store it.
Up Special: It's fine but I think you should let her flap four times in the air before she freefalls instead of a timer.
Side Special: It's good but you should not let her freefall in the end, instead make her shorten it like melee falco and give her free freefall with that version.
Aerials: Give U-air a sourspot on the other frames with her sword in the air. Look at Cloud's U-air for a source.
Strongs: Weaken her forward strong's knockback, change the knockback angle to around 25 it's too similar to her down strong and increase the speed to balance it out.
Attacks: Make jab 1 cancellable and it'll be fine.

But besides that, this is my favorite version of Shantae so far!

@Draco Xero you're referring to MK Ninja Characters? There will be more than 4 ninja recolors.

@Beardedyeti13 I'm just saying. Nothing negative or mean about it.

I actually think this character is fairly well made for the most part, but my main gripe is with her frame data. A lot of her moves feel like they belong to a heavyweight mainly because of their long start up times, forward strong especially feels like Kragg's forward strong without the same kill power. Not sure how intentional that was, but it makes the character feel a lot more sluggish that I'd imagine was intended. The other thing that I found a bit weird was how Side B is really only for tech chasing and not much else, since it doesn't combo and it doesn't kill, the move seems to lack utility. I would've loved it if Side B made Shantae bounce off of the opponent and cancel her lag for a follow-up or something.

Overall though, this is a pretty cool mod, just with a few things I'd like to hopefully see updated in the future. I think if the things listed above were improved and if Shantae were to get a slightly better combo game, this'd be one of my favorites

@webking321 If only we'd get all four ninja recolors onto RoA. that'd be amazing.

awesome mode! only suggestions would be to make down air hitbox larger, and to improve the animations for all the specials.

Pretty good, though sprites could be upgraded a little
So could the specials
