Isaac for DLC - One day. Some day. Golden Sunday.

[Skyblade12]

With the addition of Isaac and Bandana Dee (although I'm not sure how likely he is), I would be happy with the roster. Anyone else is just extra!

Do you have a link to your full avatar?

Ludicolo, dressed like Isaac, with a Venus Djinn, wielding the Monado. It's the most ridiculous thing I've seen all day, and I love it.

 

[iDazedX_x]

Honestly, I'm up for any new roster additions as long as Isaac is included. Still don't know how I feel about this whole Ryu uproar and for some strange reason Nintendo x Capcom keeps popping into my head every time I think about it. ...Eh

I just drew it myself and then coloured it on the computer, so this is the only place on the internet that it exists. I could send you the file I guess.

Also, if you look really closely, he's got the brand of the exalt in his eye as well.

Upload it to imgur or something. Because I'd love to get a copy of it.

Well, for me, Isaac is more than enough, hell, we could only have Isaac, Mewtwo and Lucas and the roster for me would be complete, however, I would really enjoy to see Wolf return and King K. Rool appearing as well. As fo Roy, I'm ok with it, but I would much rather have Ephraim or Hector from the Fire Emblem franchise ,'cause different weapons = different play styles and it would shut up the "oh my god, 7.8/10 too many sword users" naysayers (seriously, I really hate that argument).

 

[Calane]

Other than Isaac, everyone else I want isn't very likely. My top 3 would be Isaac, Bomberman and Lip. I doubt any of them besides Isaac is going to happen, so I just hope for at least him to make it. I don't see too many reasons why Isaac would be ignored. Though Sakurai can be a little strange, so I wouldn't put it by him to completely ignore Isaac because he thought the girl from Fairune would be a better choice. If you don't know what that is, good, it makes the joke better.

Bomberman's never been on my most wanted lists but he's one I wouldn't mind seeing. Lip is my #3 most wanted right now, but K. Rool and Isaac are the only ones that I "really" want. Others are kind of "yeah, they'd be cool, but I don't mind if I don't get them."


K. Rool and Isaac do seem to be doing well so I'm hopeful...

What's funny is that me and you both have a very similar opinion about each others character choices. Lip is also my third most wanted, we both want Isaac in, and like how you feel about Bomberman, K. Rool is someone I wouldn't mind seeing but was never on my most wanted list, Lol. Real talk though, K. Rool would be cool...or should I say, Kool. Hahaha...ha...yeah. Let's just hope for the best.

Knowing how fans always expect far more out of Nintendo than they end up giving us (with the possible exception of Twilight Princess, since everyone wanted Ocarina of Time 2), I'm going to say that we'll get TWO ballot characters maximum. Just one would be stupid, what with the huge amount of votes; two is more reasonable because of this; more than two I doubt simply because of all the returning characters it looks like we may be getting. Here's what I think the DLC character roster will look like in the end:

1. Mewtwo
2. Lucas
3. Wolf (to continue the pattern)
4. Roy (to continue the pattern)
5. Ryu (which I think is stupid)
6. Ballot character #1
7. Ballot character #2

Seven DLC characters is quite a few, I think.

At this point, I think I'm expecting K. Rool because DK is popular right now and Rool would be both a heavyweight and a villain. Supposedly he could have an interesting moveset, but I've only seen him in DKC1, so I couldn't speak from experience. After him, though.... Well, my cynicism is kicking in because Nintendo ignores Golden Sun so much. Honestly, I expect Sakurai to ignore Isaac if we only get two ballot characters. Not sure who he would pick, though.

"Mhhh... I guess there's a place for one more JRPG character. I should ask Square Enix if we could put Tiz Arrior from Bravely Default, since there's no more Nintendo JRPGs not represented"

I don't think such things can be said about how Nintendo has treated DLC for previous games.

Considering how much Nintendo is constantly exceeding almost everyone's expectations every time they announce something new about DLC, I find it hard to believe fans are expecting far more out of Nintendo than they'd probably give for this. Some will continue to be pessimistic and think we're getting very little, but honestly, I think we've got enough evidence right now that we're getting a decent amount of content, and characters, for Smash DLC at this point.


First most people were thinking we wouldn't get DLC. Then they were saying we'd only get Mewtwo, and even if we did get more we'd only get veterans. Then they announced the ballot and now they're saying we're only getting 1-2 characters from the ballot.



You can argue if you wish that people expect too much out of Nintendo. But in this situation? They've continuously flat-out denied every single argument that has been made every single time.



Personally I was only expecting about 6 DLC characters prior, with about 3 veterans or so. Now I think we could get up to 10 DLC characters, with up to half of them being veterans (Snake being the final one; IC's only in the rare off chance they could possibly fix them on 3DS which I doubt we'll see).

Snake last, just so they can put the "Kept you waiting huh?" at the very last moment?

I just believe that the DLC would be the best time for Sakurai to let someone else do the main part of the job: No time constraints, less pressure, he could still watch out for problems, give a lot of advices... So more DLC means more training for the new guy(s?) in charge.

When I first read this, I read it as "with up to half of them being Isaac", and I just burst out laughing.

Nice to see GS is still holding steady on the eShop.

1. Donkey Kong 64
2. Super Mario 64
3. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
4. Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
5. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
6. EarthBound
7. Metroid Fusion
8. Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario Advance 3
9. Super Mario World
10. Golden Sun
11. Super Mario Galaxy 2
12. Mario Party 10
13. Advance Wars
14. Affordable Space Adventures
15. The Legend of Zelda
16. Super Metroid
17. Super Mario Bros. 3
18. Super Mario Kart
19. Pikmin 3
20. Donkey Kong Country

Gotta get a kick out of the all of one title not belonging to Nintendo in the top 20.

 

[Calane]

Speaking of the eShop, still waiting on that Golden Sun 2 release... I'll be waiting forever it seems, but I'm still waiting. I seriously don't know what's taking them so long to just release it (Same with Metroid Zero Mission and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones).

It's not much but at least if Golden Sun is performing well on the eShop, that's another angle where Sakurai could see Isaac's popularity outside of the ballot.

We could also have a secret advantage if Golden Sun 4 really is in development. Since Sakurai will almost certainly be more interested in adding Isaac if his series is continuing. (and on Nintendo platforms!) Isaac could have this advantage over plenty of popular choices in this regard, even King K Rool.

 

[Ludjinnado]

I'm glad that Golden Sun is performing well; hopefully, it will lead more recognition for the series as a whole. I do remember reading a while back that they said they would make another Golden Sun if enough people wanted it.

I'm hoping that, if Golden Sun 4 isn't already secretly in development, Isaac being a DLC character for Smash Bros. will push Camelot to make the sequel.

 

[IvanQuote]

For some reason, when I imagine Isaac and K Rool fighting for DLC slot, I imagine them in a beam struggle, with the Judgement firing a beam from its shield and K Rool holding Boreas, cranking it at ludicrous speed to make a constant stream of shaved ice.

 

[ferioku]

Guys look at this =D

I think he is in this thread, at least I saw someone posting his videos.

But yeah, his videos are pretty cool and he makes clear and strong points.

I want Boreas to be an assist trophy. I miss the Giant Snow-cone Maker

Oh, man. The awesome potential of summons as ATs. I hadn't even thought of that, but a lot of them would fit so well. Plus, we'd get some really unique effects out of some of them. Daedalus does damage, then there's a time delay, then a huge Knockback from the main missile. Things like that.

 

[N3ON]

I think ATs would be reserved to the actual characters. If Djinn were made an item, summons could correspond to that, but as it stands now I'd be surprised to get anything past Isaac, a GS stage with some accompanying music and as many trophies as there would be existing models of GS content.

 

[JohnnySparkxs]

I would like Garet to be an AT. He would go around, swinging his axe and casting eruptions, fireballs, heat waves and he could finish with Pyroclasm before disappearing.

 

[Spootondorf]

If weapon unleashes aren't in Isaac's moveset, Felix could show up with the Sol Blade and Megiddo someone.

Maybe the GS stage could have characters in the background fighting. :D

 

[Ludjinnado]

Yeah, that would be an interesting way to include more characters/references to the games.

I wonder what the stage would be... one of the Lighthouses maybe? Or it could be a travelling stage that visits loads of different locations in Weyard as well.

I still think the best setting is Venus Lighthouse.

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I think the three most iconic locations would be:

Venus Lighthouse
Mt. Aleph/Sol Sanctum (Heck Mt. Aleph is part of the opening cinematic)
Vale

So a stage in one of those places would be most appropriate. Vale might not be all that epic but it would certainly be nostalgic. It could transistion from regular town life to a thunderstorm/flood and have a boulder rolling down from Mt. Aleph.

Venus Lighthouse is of course what most fans are clamouring for, but there are other options if Sakurai feels like throwing a curveball.

 

[Desert Croc]

If there is a Venus Lighthouse stage I would love the fusion dragon to be a stage boss/hazard.

Hello everyone! This is my first ever post on smashboards. But i've been reading this thread for a while now. I finally decided to join, because things are getting interesting when it comes to the ballot and the other rumored characters, plus you guys, and the rest of the community seem awesome. I'm a huge Golden Sun fan and I think it desperately deserves a playable rep in the form of Isaac. I played the first game on WiiU VC and fell in love with the series. I now own the lost age on GBA, and i'm gonna get Dark Dawn soon. Isaac is my number one most wanted character for smash right now.

Oh hey Spaceking. Nice to see you finally joined up!

Welcome to the Isaac support thread on Smashboards! Glad to have another join the rank of adepts to support Isaac for Sm4sh!

Edit: What's up with your Miiverse? Did you over-advertise Isaac ?

 

[Bassoonist]

I'm still in love with the idea of the 'underground' (probably not the way to refer to it, but it has been many years since I actually played the game so forgive me lol) area of Sol Sanctum being the stage. Venus Lighthouse would be fine, too, but I love this idea because it would provide variety in format with the 'pillars' providing platforms of various lengths (and potentially heights? Wouldn't be completely accurate to the game that way, but would work), and OMG it would be beautiful if it were put on the Wii U version. Plus the music! I love the Elemental Stars music! I would love to hear it redone.

Well...that was part of it! xD The administration over on miiverse is garbage to be honest. I got banned over there for speaking out against all the ridiculous requests for sm4sh like for Shrek or Goku. Half the time I can't tell if their trolling or being serious with all that junk. It's good to talk to ya again. Just for the lolz I compared both sites terms of service and I can easily say i'm never going back, you'd get banned for so much as coughing over there. Not a whole lot of people there even know who Isaac is or why he should be in sm4sh. I regret my entire experience over there. Isaac is one of the last characters on my newcomer wishlist. Along with king K rool. and Bayonetta. I'm just glad to be out of that horrible place! I'm as free as a bird again! I'm happy that I can finally freely chat with fellow Isaac supporters.

 

[Skyblade12]

Agreed, but there is so much awesome potential for tons of stages.

- Mars Lighthouse could let you play through sections related to each of the four elements.
- The Lemurian Ship could take you from landmark to landmark across Weyard.
- Air's Rock would have whirlwinds gusting players around, allowing for some rather impressive recoveries if they're used well.

So much more. Weyard is just such a fantastic place. I want to experience it ALL in Smash.

Still want to see Catastrophe, though.


Unfortunately, there aren't enough colors of Perler beads to do most recent game art. There's just too many color variations, and not enough bead colors.
