This was supposed to be a typical boring blowout, and it was, but for some reason a gigantic argument broke out all over Board 8 about whether or not Shantae was fodder. I don't mean the standard "we're bored so we're making up stupid crap to argue about in the stats topic", either. Shantae and her 19 fans were sitting here screaming over the character having real strength. Just for the hell of it, I went and looked at KP's adjusted stats. Here's yet another fantastic example of why extrapolated standings are a joke.

Shantae - 16.22
Noctis Lucis Caelum - 15.96
Kazuma Kiryu - 15.95
Yu Narukami - 15.91
Dragonborn - 15.84
Joker / Ren Amamiya - 15.74
Primrose - 15.64
Aya Brea - 15.56
Goro Majima - 15.32
Metal Man - 15.2
D.Va - 14.82
Miles Edgeworth - 14.51
Gordon Freeman - 14.5
James Sunderland - 14.45
Neptune - 14.26
Neku Sakuraba - 14.11
Aloy - 13.95
Godot - 13.86
John Marston - 13.68
Estelle Bright - 13.45
Sans - 13.15
Monokuma - 13.01
Hat Kid - 12.94
Isabelle - 12.76
Victor Sullivan - 12.58
Quiet - 12.13
Cayde-6 - 11.9
Chloe Price - 8.65
Draven - 6.22

Here's the bottom of his stats. Even by the ridiculous arbitrary adjustments these stat people make, Shantae is gutter trash. Nothing against KP here (he'll eat his L later on in these writeups, don't worry), but half of these characters or more would beat Shantae in a match. No one knows who or what a Shantae even is, and we're supposed to believe she could beat Noctis, Dragonborn, Aya Brea, Quiet, Gordon Freeman, or John Marston in a 1v1 contest match? Get the hell out of here. I cannot believe I had to waste more than 5 seconds on round 1 fodder getting blown out, yet here we are.

Shantae's fanbase quickly reached Persona levels of 'way to convince me never to play any of the games you people care about'. Instead of white knighting pixel boobs, try hitting the gym so you guys can have the real thing once in awhile. Some of you clearly need it. Which is fine. We all start somewhere.

Shantae is gutter trash fodder, the end. Yoshi scored a very clear and obvious blowout, and Shantae has no contest strength. Deal with it. This match wasn't to the level oF DEUS EX ISN'T WINNING BY ENOUGH, but it came close.
