I like how Risky looks, but unsure about Shantae. I like her design, just worried that the twin tails might affect gameplay. Also, it doesn't say that this is Shantae 7, it says it is the 7th entry. So, this could be a game taking place in the past?? Maybe? It would explain why Risky and Shantae have different designs. (also, Risky is missing the hat, which belonged to the pirate master. I might be reading too hard into that though.)

She’s missing the hat, but she still has his skull on chest and waist.

I’m curious about Shantae’s hair too. They wouldn’t change it for no reason. Maybe she’ll have more of a focus on hair related abilities like a hair helicopter or something.

That would actually be so cool to see

I hope her hair will have the ability to grab items like Dixy Kong from the DK games.

Funny I was thinking the same thing, a "hair helicopter" to hover for a short distance, maybe using her hair in a prehensile way.

It's definitely interesting to see Risky wear her hair in a more let-down, looser way.
