Am I the only one who sees a problem here.
I had something like this in the moveset I came up with months ago (some of these were just rough ideas, you can tell I got lazy with stuff like down-B):
He can use growth, which is a bunch of vines he is required to learn as a field move at certain points in the game, as a tether recovery a la rope snake and clawshot. When used on the ground, it could shoot a giant thorny pillar up in front of him like an uppercut
Remmember that pretty much all the up special tethers of brawl got remplaced by more regular specials (Olimar and Zero Suit Samus, not counting Zairs or Side specials), so i doubt he could have a tether up special
Easy. He can use retreat/teleport or hover. I always thought of growth as a potential tether grab, even though I'd rather have a regular grab.
gosh darn it I guess it really is Isaac. Congrats to those who have been waiting for it anyway, I'll probably be the guy who's gonna criticize it since this is the probably the most anime-like character they're doing.
When I say generic I simply mean something like Ike's or Marth's, just guising it as a djinn attack. Normally I'd agree about psynergy but Isaac really doesn't have any legitimate psynergy inspired recovery moves aside from growth and retreat, which I both think are absolutely awful ideas. I'd rather stick to djinn as the B-moves and turn it into a gimmick with setting djinn and modifying his final smash (summon) based on how many djinn attacks he's done in a given period of time, then using psynergy for his A attacks. Not to mention it's a lot easier for Sakurai to program those attacks if he can use another character's moves, the same way Shulk's recovery is based off of Marth's.
IT'S ABOUT DARN TIME. It was worth the wait so I can't complain anyway.
No stop.
I fixed it.
Megiddo (rises high into the air and attacks at the apex)
Yeah, sure, I wouldn't mind Isaac being a ground-based stage control character that could affect the terrain by creating platforms and such. The unique propeties of the Venus Psynergy attacks means that Isaac will have many attacks sprouting from the ground, some which can work as great anti-air attacks and several others as anti-ground attacks, being able to greatly punish characters on the ground and in the air for their bad reads and reactions. For that reason, Isaac should have an above average speed to improve his spacing game, being able to both rush down with his sword, play the neutral game with a mid range Psynergy attack (particularly an earth-shaking attack like Quake which would stun them) and zone whenever he needs to. He would be the kind of character that would be better on the ground than in the air, though he is more like the inverse Wario to Little Mac's Jigglypuff.
That Up-B idea from that Reddit moveset would be good.
One of them could be Flint flying around Isaac with him smiling. Another could be him using his magical "hand" to give a thumbs up. If two Isaacs are on the battlefield, I like the idea of them giving each other an extended secret handshake as an easter egg taunt.
I like the idea of a Venus djinn floating around Isaac for a short period of time, similar to Link's fairy taunt.
The only one that's fake is the pink hair one, and even then, all they did is recolor Isaac's hair. The only other possibility is that the "Golden Sun" is behind Isaac, which shines off his hair and makes it look pink-ish.
TECHNICALLY the hints can also work for Felix, but its very unlikely to be Felix. Its also pretty much impossible its Matthew unless they had even more fake hints, because Matthew is never a non-Silent Protagonist.
Looks like I got booted off of that list for whatever reason, but yeah, these are good ideas for Isaac. They could work.
The pink hair was definitely something to throw people off. There's no guarantee its Isaac, but Isaac fits EVERYTHING except for the pink hair. Felix would also fit much of it, though he doesn't have any blue at all on his outfit, and Matthew fits much of it, but he's ONLY a Silent Protagonist.Well, it's a Golden Sun character, but maybe it's not Isaac. There were a couple Golden Sun characters with pink hair, right?
I love the idea of having Move able to cancel into a grab. I think that's a really cool idea, my only fear is that it might be overpowered.
True Blue Warrior
Add me to the support list please. For a long time, I seem to be absent in that list. I still want him because of his potential as a character even though I don't expect him.If Isaac is an earth-based adept, wouldn't it make more sense that he would have one of the better ground games in Smash?
I added the Grip and Lash Psynergies to my last post as recovery options.
Welcome.@
It's certainly a possibility. But there is more to the character than that. Several of his attacks directly revolve around him jumping, including his standard attack swing! Plus, due to the jumping in the puzzles in Golden Sun, he does jump more than any other RPG hero I think I've ever met, so he should be decently comfortable in the air. Also, levitation is a fairly common aspect of Psynergy. Spire, for example, uses floating rocks to crush the opponent. Lift will raise a stone in the air, etcetera.
