So, do you think we'll see another Direct-esque AT massacre?

I personally doubt it, as I don't think there are as many ATs to reveal now.

Me neither, especially if Sakurai in fact is deliberately keeping the previously hidden ones hidden. I don't think we're going to get a future presentation that focuses on items to the extent the Direct did in general tbh.

As it stands now I think there will be a trickle of AT confirmations, with the full extent of the AT roster not being known until the Wii U version releases. So hypothetically, it could still be a while until we learn about Isaac's fate (if for some backwards reason he's not an AT on the 3DS ), though the 3DS version will confirm his playable status.

I found it pretty ballsy and foolish for that fake leaker guy to claim that the voice actor for Lloyd (Tales) was going to be voicing Isaac in smash. That really came from nowhere. I mean, even though he has nothing to lose from being on an anonymous website; literally anyone with connections can call those voice actors up and ask if they are currently voicing/working on something.

VAs have NDA contracts about how they can't say what they're working on but not admitting they are working on "something." And if it's one thing people have connections over in the comic book/anime/video games industry, it's voice actors.

Now with that said and done, who would you like to voice Isaac? They play an integral role in representing a character, and sometimes make or break the impression of them.

As long as he doesn't sound like a twelve year old girl that's a step in the right direction.

I guess it's because people think one blonde JRPG character is enough.
I think two blue haired sword wielding lords is already more than enough (and so do others) but it seems that Sakurai (and Ike/Chrom fans) couldn't give a monkey's arse what we think.

That isn't the only case of similarly themed characters being in smash. (Heck it seems like almost half the female cast of this game will be some sort of royalty or at least regal in appearance) Shulk and Isaac both being in wouldn't rock the boat in the slightest.

Mind you, Shulk and Isaac are more different from each other than Marth/Ike/Chrom would be.

The saddest part of people thinking Isaac and Shulk are too similar is they think Sakurai will only look at the most apparent surface details like they do before judging whether the character should be included or not, which is obv not how he does things.

This is proven by the possibility of getting Marth/Ike/Chrom as our FE characters:troll:

But seriously, if anything, it's more likely that everyone is "competing" with everyone for a roster slot.

So tomorrow is the day, the day we wait for all year. There will be some confirmations, perhaps some deconfirmations, and I can only assume quite a bit of info.

While it's not overly likely we learn about Isaac's fate tomorrow, the chance is there, however small, that we get to see our golden boy step off the sidelines and join the fight as a playable character! After years (and I mean years) of extended support and hope, of erratic popularity levels and competition that has come and gone, characters that have gotten included already and those whose popularity has fallen by the wayside and have been all but forgotten.

But not Isaac. After 11 years since his last playable role, after 13 years since his last role as sole protagonist, his popularity endures... maybe not in the same pristine state it once was, but notable nonetheless, which is quite an achievement in and of itself, and however this ends up, we should be proud we managed to keep from forgetting such a capable character from such a great series, when even the likes of Nintendo doesn't give them proper due.

Thank you to all you Isaac supporters, and here's hoping we catch a break tomorrow. ^_^

I don't expect Isaac tomorrow, but I would be (one of) the happiest people on earth if he's confirmed.

The bigger thing we need to watch out for is Assist Trophies.
This is totally just a guess, but I personally don't think much of the focus will be on items this time, not nearly as much as the Direct, so I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't even learn any more ATs at E3 (including nothing about Isaac).

I think, other than characters, the focus will be on new features, such as connectivity and NFC.

Ugh, I do not think I will be able to handle a second AT massacre. I almost had a bloody panic attack during the first one (joking, but still).

At any rate, as much as I would love to see Isaac tomorrow, I for one am preparing mineself for the worst.

That's my guess as well, but don't forget that AT's will likely appear in the demo. Isaac was an unlockable AT last time, but that doesn't mean much. I mean, if almost all AT's appear except for Isaac and a couple others, that's something to note.

That's true (well I assume it's true). I guess what's important to observe is whether the demo will have the full selection of ATs or not (not that we'd know) - I personally think it will omit some, but I remember the Brawl demo was the first place the AW AT was revealed last time around, and it was unlockable, so we'll just have to see what happens. Eep.

I doubt there will be any "surprise" Assist Trophies in the demo. Isaac was a quite powerful assist trophy too.

I am so hoping he gets in. Especially if we also get a Golden Sun 4 trailer along!
There were so many unanswered questions... there HAS to be something more!

This is really nerve-racking... if he isn't announced, I just hope he won't suddenly appear as an AT in any gameplay footage or the tournament. That would be one of the worst disconfirmations ever, at least some kind of introduction would be nice...

I agree. They went all-out with the items/ATs at the Smash Bros. Direct, but this is a different event. An event that does not circle specifically around Super Smash Bros.

I could be wrong, he could subtly throw in more AT reveals there, but I don't think they'll be the focus.

Either way, I have other preoccupations today, so I won't even be able to see Isaac's fate directly, should it be revealed today. =(

Am concerned about the Swordfighter Mii and how much he seemed to resemble Isaac in appearance...

Help?

Call me when he has a scarf. :troll:

Seriously though, I need to watch the Mii part again. I'll get to it after watching Palutena's trailer ten to fifteen more times. :smirk:

The blonde hair and blue costume plus the way he swings his sword just irked me in a wrong way...

DLC doesn't seem so out of the question anymore actually. We are going to pay extra for the Amiibo toys anyway.

Now really is a bad time to be poor. *sigh*
