Cel-Shaded Shantae is best Shantae.

Decent anime inspired animation & designs.

I think adding chronic aberration, video degradation, & shift filters may help make it more vintage. Fire Alpaca has chronic aberration, while Gimp has video degradation & shift filters.

The recreation of the Chowder art style is the best part of this animation.

I remember playing this back then. Here's what I think about it nowadays.

The game didn't age all that well because of...

-Balancing Issues
(Spamming projectile attacks while standing far away from your opponents is for the most part a dominant strategy)

-Frame Rate Issues
(The Wario level for example is prone to frame rate drops, input delays, & broken collusion detection, to a point where I just use the right click then skip function.)

-Limited Move Sets (Only 5 Moves for each character.)

-Some Questionable Character Choices
(Could've choose Eggman, Metal Sonic, Amy, or any Sonic character over those two random fan made ones.)

-Some fan made sprite work could use some improvements by adding proper shading & making sure that the characters are at least on-modeled (I.E. Mario, Luigi, Fox McCloud, Jigglypuff, & Cloud Strife)

The game is flawed but it isn't 100% bad cause there are pros like...

-Being able to unlock more than one characters instead of one at a time.

-2B's voice actress was involved in this game.

-The inclusion of non-video game characters like Goku.

-The inclusion of third-party characters that aren't in any Smash game as proper playable characters such as Crono, Lloyd, Mega Man X, & Zero.

-The option to skip any levels at any time & it's arguably a good speedrun strat.

I honestly prefer Super Smash Flash 2 over the original.

Such great realistic lighting effect.

I couldn't do realistic dynamic lighting like this.

If Gamma was in Team Sonic Racing or any Sega crossover racing games, this would be his kart.
