I know, I played the games 5-6 years ago, but in contrary to the rest of the world I don't picture Isaac exclusively using Psynergy for his entire moveset, especially because swordplay is a big enough deal for him due to his starting and final weapons being a sword and the weapon roar mechanic or whatever they called it. This isn't a bad thing per se as swords are cool and the roars may end up as part of normals or something but realistically speaking, he's gonna use a sword for normals. People seem to forget that normals are a part of Smash the more I think about it lmao
I know, but I just felt like making the joke.

For extra effect, pair him up with Simon and Ness and sic them on Bayonetta.
I’ll do you one better:

How would you react if Sakura Shinguji got in?
Pretty content, but I'd be hoping for a Switch port after that so I can properly check it out.

Anyways I remember there being a video on Sakura Wars' impact when she was shown at RTC but I wasn't able to watch that. Mind posting that again? Even without Smash I think it'd be a nice watch for someone unfamiliar with the series like me.

He's one of those characters that I would need to see him in action to really give my opinion. If he's fun then fine. If not then I wouldn't really care.I wouldn't be mad, but in all honestly I'd be a bit disapointed that he would have been chosen over Rhythm heaven, Astral chain, Ring fit or even Style savvy for a new Nintendo first party representation. But to be fair he's very popular so I would understand it. I would be excited to hear more Golden sun music tho, because from what I've heard there's a lot of good music.

More surprised than anything honestly. I've never played Sakura wars but it looks like a fun universe and I like mecha so I would probably enjoy it.

Not familiar at all with the character or the games - I'd be most interested in how the moveset plays out really, since the AT has clearly shown quite a lot of potential by itself. Same goes with characters like Sakura really (despite Sakura lacking an AT obviously).

Ironically, it also doesn't show Isaac's full potential-earthbending and equipping Djinn to use different elements/unleash certain effects are not showcased in the AT. Granted, Djinn would've been too complicated for something that only gets a fraction of the moves of a fighter. That's part of the reason why the Isaac thread didn't die.

Does anyone have a Sakura moveset floating around? I know her general skillset (katana + steampunk mech), but I don't have any direct experience with her outside of Project X Zone 2.

The funny part about Isaac is his AT literally only uses non combat Psynergy, that ****'s exclusively used for puzzle solving, it's like if Link had a move that aged him by 7 years in Smash 64

Personally, I think Isaac would be geared around stage control, shoving you around with Move, keeping you away with Gaia, and hitting a wide range with Quake. His normals would largely consist of sword moves with a couple Psynergy scattered in between, mainly for the smash attacks. Not exactly sure how to implement the Djinn and Summons, but Judgement would definitely be the cinematic Final Smash.

Isaac is one of those characters I truly want to see, in part because of how crazy his moveset would be. Without Venus Psynergy, Djinn summons, and his giant hand- he just isn't Isaac.

If Isaac got in with a cool moveset, there's a good chance I'd buy the game.

Unless Sakura's mech is cool and used a lot in her moveset, I don't really care about her.

Hate to tell you this, but its so far down the list of those who voted for it that its practically invisible. It's got a lot of pretty heavy competition.

I do think Sakura could have a good shot, but only if Nintendo is specifically looking for a Japan-appeal character. She's the epitome of huge in Japan but not in the West; The best comparison I can think of is Reimu taken even further. The series is big enough to branch out into basically every form of media, but only a couple of those actually get localized. The reason I'm giving her a chance at all despite that is the soft reboot was localized, which would imply that Sega's at least trying to do something about it now.

It doesn't seem like Xenoblade is gonna survive lol

Being a remaster doesn't help I guess.

PD: Everyone vote for Bugsnax.

Pretty ironic. Hearing all the character's voices when my roommate was playing the game made me want to stab myself.

So I guess this means Kratos has now appeared on a Nintendo console for whatever that's worth.
Unless this is PS exclusive or something idk.

I just saw that Kirby, Monster hunter, Phoenix Wright, Yokai Watch and Reimu are in the last Taiko no tatsujin. https://twitter.com/tech_gaming/status/1334207253944037378?s=19

This make me think that if Nintendo want a more Japanese characters for fighter pass 2 it could be one of those. Monster hunter is huge everywhere, Phoenix Wright is also very popular and well known, Yokai Watch could represent Level 5 who still have no representation, Reimu also have a very big following in Japan and Donchan have a relatively big following there too. I feel like all of those characters could be very easily to work with and that Capcom, Namco, Level 5 and Touhou would easily accept to be in Smash.

So yeah, a bit random post but seeing this image make me think that if they want a more Japanese charater it could easily be one of those. The only one missing is Arle that also have great chance imo.

Considering what happened with Spider-Man in that Avengers game, it'll probably be PS exclusive.

It Only has the Playstation logo at the Bottom right, so It Kind of looks like it's Playstation Exclusive

However if that is true, that actually might say alot

Back then There was a Datamine of Splatoon related Content in Fortnite. There was Speculation (well at Least I Put out the theory) that Smash/Nintendo would be represented in Fortnite, but the problem was that Nintendo probably wouldn't want their characters on other Competting Consoles/PC

If Fortnite is doing Exclusive stuff, that Idea just became much more realistic. That also means the Good Possibility of Fortnite/Smash Collab with Smash in Fortnite, and Fortnite in SMash

Most likely Playstation exclusive considering there's only the Playstation logo.

That said, a question relating to cross-play, has there been Nintendo content on other systems through crossplay? At the least, the main one I'm talking about is Minecraft, in regards to the Nintendo skins on the Nintendo version. Last time I checked, Minecraft on the Nintendo systems could do cross-play. Could the Nintendo skins be seen on the other systems?

I know it’s not quite the same thing but early last year ppl reported seeing Smash Ultimate renders on the Xbox One menu or something. Not sure what that was all about

I mean, we've had stuff like this before, with Kratos being exclusive to the Playstation versions of Shovel Knight, or Mario and Luigi costumes being exclusive to the Wii U/Switch versions of Rayman Legends. I don't think Fortnite would be any different.
I think More People were apprehensive to this Idea since Fortnite is not only a Online Based game, but also has Crossplay, so it was a different case from the examples you mentioned

But now that we know it work for Fortnite, well you know...

Well, the only full, mainline Nintendo / TPC cross-platform title I can think off is... Pokemon Unite.

Yeah, I'm starting to think that the collaboration between Nintendo and Tencent is a special case. The other possible special case might be Microsoft.


As far as cross-play goes, yeah I've got nothing. The quick googling I did on the Super Mario Pack (including the Minecraft wiki) suggests that the Pack is exclusive to Nintendo consoles and can't be viewed on Xbox / PlayStations.

Apparently Peach, Lucina etc. appeared in the (now shutdown) Mixer banner on Xbox's dashboard. Does not mean much probably, especially since that happened last year.

RIP Mixer, it had potential as a streaming platform

I think I saw the female Inkling there too

In Rocket League, console exclusive cars become something else with a similar hitbox on other systems.
