The Curious Volnutt
Smash Journeyman
I almost forgot to ask, would you guys prefer young Isaac or adult Isaac to be in Smash? I'd like young Isaac because I like his design more.

I thought it was more. Thanks!It's $7.99 +tax. Not bad. I have it and its cool to play it on both the tv and gamepad.
I want young Isaac as the default. However, I really want adult as an alt. I mean, that beard...I almost forgot to ask, would you guys prefer young Isaac or adult Isaac to be in Smash? I'd like young Isaac because I like his design more.
I would have agreed, cause there are a few notes that Dark Dawn hits right. And the points of no return do make sense from a story perspective. There is also the higher technology advantage that DD has coming on the next console generation after Golden Sun 1 and 2, that too near the end of the lifespan of the DS giving it an advantage over other DS games. As a standalone games, Dark Dawn is really good and for a complete beginner, probably a good choice but for the veterans of the series, not so much. Like all Golden Sun games, it still retains its charm to hook you right in the game plus it is interesting but a combination of bad elements, too much dialogue more than the GBA games (a part of the GS charm but there is a limit), hardly any appearances from past protagonists as well as some absurd retconning makes it inferior to the originals.Having played through every game in the series recently, I feel like Dark Dawn's the better game than the original Golden Sun. Not that I'm saying Golden Sun is a bad game, because I really love it, but Dark Dawn's got more content and depth in gameplay (especially when fighting the optional bosses). This is just my opinion, but I feel like it's also got a better atmosphere, more interesting characters, more to explore, and a soundtrack that's just as good as the original. I'd even consider the story to be better, because in the original, you were just chasing the villains the whole time and ended up not resolving anything. The points of no return in Dark Dawn don't really bother me either, because I generally explore places thoroughly and don't like backtracking.
I think, in terms of what the games did for the series, and their quality in comparison to other games that were out at the time, the original is the better game, but for someone who isn't concerned with such things and just wants to play a good game, I think Dark Dawn's the better choice.
I'd recommend TLA over DD any day though.
As for an AT, if Isaac does make it as a playable character, I'd definitely want to see Alex. He'd attack you with snide remarks about your intelligence.
Awesome! Any sort of reveal is awesome as long he is there, but something quite like this will be really good.Ok, the time of smash related dreams hit me again. I actually had a pretty "realistic" one. I saw a trailer where a Mr. Saturn walks on screen and meets a small venus djinn. They look at each other and have big ? over their heads. And then Ness and Isaac get into the frame. =D
By general consensus, we would prefer the younger Isaac since its the signature/iconic style of the series although adult Isaac is still cool and can be an alt skin.I almost forgot to ask, would you guys prefer young Isaac or adult Isaac to be in Smash?

Absolutely young Isaac.I almost forgot to ask, would you guys prefer young Isaac or adult Isaac to be in Smash? I'd like young Isaac because I like his design more.
Has to be Young Isaac. Though, an alt costume of his adult form or his son Matthew would be cool too.I almost forgot to ask, would you guys prefer young Isaac or adult Isaac to be in Smash? I'd like young Isaac because I like his design more.
Speaking of locations, would it be awesome if Venus Lighthouse or Mars Lighthouse was a stage and both would have the option of having the Boss Dragons on those stages? That would be amazing!My favorite location would probably be Sol Sanctum from Dark Dawn. I mean, it's just so awesome and something I haven't seen about 50 billion times.
That would be interesting.Speaking of locations, would it be awesome if Venus Lighthouse or Mars Lighthouse was a stage and both would have the option of having the Boss Dragons on those stages? That would be amazing!
And halfway through the logo in the middle changes from a Moon to a Sun, and the entire place starts to blow up.My favorite location would probably be Sol Sanctum from Dark Dawn. I mean, it's just so awesome and something I haven't seen about 50 billion times.

Best stage hazard ever.
That would be awesome
Out of curiosity, do you guys rename Isaac, Felix, or Matthew?
I never do, because I find it weird. I don't rename any character I have to put a name in for.
Great. Now I want too young Isaac to be in the game somewhere. A trophy, something. He was so great with his cute little dagger and awesome facial sprite.I don't rename Isaac either.
And I prefer young Isaac all the way. (Not TOO YOUNG Isaac from the beginning of the game. Reguar teen Isaac for me).
Adult Isaac is kind of little fad going on, and while an adult bearded hero would be pretty cool to have around, I still prefer the design that has stuck the most whie I'm in control of the game.
Definitely! For me the Gameboy Advance means Golden Sun 1 and 2 (with a touch of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars). And Isaac. I was disappointed in the start of TLA where you don't control Isaac at all. Guess where the game becomes even better than it already was for me?GBA is till this day my favorite handheld device. And Isaac is its figurehead IMO.
Haha! Chibi Isaac for Smash Bros 4! After young Isaac though!
Felix had two lines in The Lost Age.I liked Isaac more in The Lost Age where he, you know, knew how to talk. If we're going by who's my favorite while they're silent, it's Matthew for that one line at the very end of the game. Overall, Isaac's awesomer.
Yes.
I was joking. Maybe I should've added a smilie or something...Felix had two lines in The Lost Age.
You can't really say "my favorite silent one was the one who spoke". That's kind of cheating.
Yea I liked Isaac talking as well. People were annoyed that he had started talking and that too a lot but to me it demonstrates the frustration he has been facing through considering the events of the Lost Age. Heck I would have lost my cool too.I liked Isaac more in The Lost Age where he, you know, knew how to talk.

Yes.
That line when Felix said, "Why?" shocked me, but at the same time, glad that he wasn't going to be completely silent (even though it was a translation error). Honestly, I wished that they had a few lines here and there when they were necessary making them feel more lively.Yea I liked Isaac talking as well.

1) They try to find Piers, Felix sneaks in causing Kibombo to spice up their defenses. Isaac is unable to meet Piers.
2) His party probably tried to enter Lemuria but was stopped by Poseidon. The trident parts were with Felix so they couldn't enter.
3) News of Babi's death, Isaac failed in saving the ruler of Tolbi
4) Beaten by Karst and Agatio at Jupiter lighthouse
5) Failed to prevent lighting of Jupiter lighthouse
Always one step behind. Or sometimes ahead but in minor cases where it really doesn't matter.
Plus he also matures as a leader, willing to go against the Wise One to save the world and then willing to kill the final boss despite the secret behind it. Looking back at TLA it kind of makes Isaac's team look incompetent! >.<
By the way which line of Matthew are you referring to? Is it when he sees Arcanus?
Matthew: *%?#
Felix says "Why?" at trial road which is totally out of place. Apparently it was a translation error as it was supposed to be "???"
Well that line was accidental. Me and my sister were in tears laughing when he said that. It was too unexpected and out of place.That line when Felix said, "Why?" shocked me, but at the same time, glad that he wasn't going to be completely silent (even though it was a translation error).

An Isaac clone along with Isaac as challenger? Considering Isaac would be Earth based, his only clones would be Felix or Matthew. It would be funny though if we get Kyle :DSo questions:
If we get Isaac, and we got to have a clone, who'd you pick?
Also, pick Isaac's specials AND his custom specials :D
You could always reskin aspects of it for another element... But, yeah, Felix or Matthew are far more likely.An Isaac clone along with Isaac as challenger? Considering Isaac would be Earth based, his only clones would be Felix or Matthew. It would be funny though if we get Kyle :D

Obviously. I laughed at that line because it was the last thing I expected.By the way which line of Matthew are you referring to? Is it when he sees Arcanus?

Matthew. It makes the most sense since he's his identical son.So questions:

I don't see us getting two entirely new characters for this series. The only way we'd get another is if he was a clone.I dunno why people would want a second Golden Sun rep to be a clone... if the series gets a second newcomer, it deserves an entirely new character. If we got a clone now, we might run into a Ganondorf situation.
Yea that's exactly the point. Right now we are struggling to get one rep i.e. Isaac in the game. A seocnd character is too unlikely. That is why there should be no clones! Only Isaac and his alt costumes for Felix and Matt. Take Jenna or someone else to be the 2nd rep although hugely unlikely. Although Nintendo is trying to up the female character count so why not?I don't see us getting two entirely new characters for this series. The only way we'd get another is if he was a clone.
Who knows, though?
I'm thinking more towards the future. Like if Isaac got in, and there was a clone with him, odds are that second character would stay a clone for subsequent Smash Bros games. But if Isaac alone got in, and he turned out to be popular, the developers might want to make an original second character for Smash 5.I don't see us getting two entirely new characters for this series. The only way we'd get another is if he was a clone.
Who knows, though?
Jenna also has a really easily translated moveset with her unique Psynergies: Beam and Fume.Or it could be a non-clone. Just figured if they wanted to squeeze in a 2nd Golden Sun character, that'd be the way to go.
But sure, if it was original, it'd be ideal.
My 2nd choice for a Golden Sun character will always be Jenna. Then Felix, then Mia. :D
I feel like Jenna played a pretty good role in both games.
At some point, she assumed command of at least one party. And she was playable in both games.
Not saying she's more important than Felix, I think Felix is the 2nd most important character in the series.
lol, your gif goes very well with this song.To make things clear, Dark Dawn is one of my favourite games on the Nintendo DS and I loved playing it. After a 20 hour playthrough I even got stuck because of a game breaking bug (seriously?! the original 2 didn't have any as far as I know), just 2 hours before the final boss fight and I restarted the whole game and played it all over again for 30 hours. I was hooked onto it. I really was happy that the gameplay mechanics had mostly all carried through but disappointed that the original party hardly makes an appearance in the game.
It is just that there were so many things that were missing and could be improved. The game seemed like a step down in other ways. The storyline did not seem as impressive and did not make sense many times (one word - retconning although it did pick up some slack later on) as the original 2 games and the dialogues were even longer than the original games. Plus the points of no return were absolutely horrifying about which I did not even know from the start causing me to miss a summon tablet as well as a djinn (collected em all the 2nd time after my save got ruined). P
Alex's role was completely shafted where they introduce him but he does nothing special and his story is left completely hanging. Alex was supposed to be there instead of Piers in the 2nd game so Camelot had something planned for him revealed at the end of the 2nd game but not expanded in the 3rd game.
I will go crazy! I will probably scream (probably my sister as well). I will whack all those who "meh" (kidding). I will then download the reveal trailer, watch it hundreds of time, show it to my friends who don't even know Golden Sun and get them interested. Plus I will change my avatar, signature, profile pictures everything to show this! That will be one heck of a day!
Plus I will dance!
lol
well besides the lighthouses, what about mt. aleph? it could get the castle siege treatment.Speaking of locations, would it be awesome if Venus Lighthouse or Mars Lighthouse was a stage and both would have the option of having the Boss Dragons on those stages? That would be amazing!
And that is how I am going to dance when Isaac comes out as a challenger.lol
It does. The beat lines up quite nicely.
Vader rocking it out to some awesome Golden Sun music. I love it.
Cool idea, Golden Sun has so many various backgrounds. Like if we have Venus lighthouse, it is unlit. Then it is lit. Then the earth splits.well besides the lighthouses, what about mt. aleph? it could get the castle siege treatment.
1. you start at the top of the mountain. its flat and much more wider than it was when alex reached the peak at the end of TLA.
2. then two things can happen. either the light of the golden sun shines on the stage and changes the stage or the wise one comes in the background and teleports everyone to the next section. which would be where Isaac had to solve the puzzle of unlocking the room to the elemental chamber where the elemental stars were hidden with the statues. there would be a flat surface with water on each side, kinda like tortimer island. and the statues are in the background.
3. then the stage changes again into the elemental chamber where the stars are. there are 3 flat surfaces and below them is water. but 2 things can happen here. one, whenever you return to this part of the stage, the stage will either have water at the bottom, or lava at the bottom, kinda like how mt aleph erupted as Isaac and co escaped from the mountain in the beginning. since swimming seems to be out of smash 4, you will lose a stock if you don't recover, or the lava will damage you if the room is filled with lava.
4. and then the cycle repeats itself again.
