If I had to think like Sakurai... if I were to add a Golden Sun rep, I'd be picking Matthew. Mainly because he's the protagonist of Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, latest entry of the series. Seeing how Marth and Ike were updated to their latest looks, Yoshi's stance has been updated to latest models, Olimar uses his Pikmin 3 look, etc, it makes sense.
But well I'm in for Isaac too, just because I want a Golden Sun rep at any cost. I'll repeat it again just in case, both Isaac and Matthew are what you could consider "clones" stat-wise. Same goes for Garet-Tyrell, Ivan-Karis and Mia-Rief (not skillset-wise, since Karis can learn healing Psynergy). If you think this can make them different with movesets, think again, Robin was given Nosferatu, a Dark Tome which is not usable by any magic user except Dark Mage and Sorcerer.
Just gonna make it clear again, I'd be fine with either, but I'm rooting for Matthew more.
Edit: Please don't argue over unrelated characters in this thread. Shulk has nothing to do with Isaac at all. Please?
Hmm your argument may hold merit but the cases are different. Fire Emblem: Awakening was one of the most successful Fire Emblem games if not the most successful game so far. Even then Marth was not removed in favour of Lucina, and Lucina became a clone. Dark Dawn on the other hand, was the least successful Golden Sun game, sold the least, was least critically favoured and well he was a clone to keep Isaac fans on board in the first place. Heck he would have been a more interesting character if he was not a Isaac clone. The only different thing is his clothes and his party. Plus he can show more emotions than Isaac
But that is just cause Dark Dawn is more advanced. On a side note, Himi's stats resemble Ivan's more except 1 or 2. Ivan had the least hp and least attack as well as most PP while Karis is more balanced.
We are mainly for Isaac since he is the Marth of Golden Sun. First main character, again pretty important and 2nd main in the 2nd game while he is the awesome legend guy in Golden Sun 3. What is stopping from a legend being playable? I won't mind Matthew but I see Isaac's chances to be more. Plus he has also been an AT. If he hadn't had any appearance then Matt's chance would have been more especially if Dark Dawn was a "Smashing" hit. Plus in Japanese who would you prefer, Robin or Mut,
? Just kidding.
You are rooting for Matthew and I am voting for Isaac. But in the end we are both rooting for one of these 2 iconic Earth adepts and a representation of Golden Sun.
P.S. We are not arguing over Shulk, just a bit annoyed at how SOME Shulk fans act. This leak is getting out of hand and a lot of people are not happy.
Well anyway Isaac for Smash 4
!
Even Adult Isaac is epic! I mean who would say no to him after looking at this pic! So that is where he had gone during Dark Dawn huh? (I even made it my wallpaper!)

Favourite fanart so far. Tons of talented artists out there.
Plus this could be a cool reveal
Isaac vs. 3 headed dragon (not necessarily Doom Dragon)
