Because Isaac is retired. That's why he can't be in. Right, because Smash Bros. follows the canon of each series.
I guess Ganondorf shouldn't be a character on part of always being dead or sealed by the end of every game he's in. After all, that's canon.
Way to come up with the worst and most unrelateable example possible. I see no point, nor do I see any understanding in you. I'm not even sure if what you just said has anything to do with the subject you responded to.
You take a villian who is commonly and traditionally defeated, and somehow compare that to a protagonist who will no longer be the main character of a fairly small series because a new protagonist was chosen. Talk about random. Are you sure you didn't accidentally respond to the wrong post? I fail to see you even thinking about what you posted.
First off, gotta say, I love the irony in that Noah wants Matthew to be playable under that logic, despite that he is also really pushing for Ninten to be playable, too.
Second off, if recentness takes priority over familiarity, wouldn't that mean Marth, Ness, and Olimar should all be excluded because there are more recent characters that take their place? Despite the heavy representation of their series overall that comes from just those three characters, you're saying that we should boot those three and keep Lucina, Lucas, and Alph in their places. That's a good way to make upset a lot of people, especially over Sakurai,
who hates cutting veterans.
I understand it's besides the point in that we're talking about a new franchise entirely, but I'm saying that following the same basis as the aforementioned characters, it would make much more sense to have Isaac, the recurring protagonist, over Matthew, the *current* protagonist. After all, recentness is relevant only for a while. Familiarity and iconicness should always take priority when a character is selected, unless of course there is already a character in that series that covers that, point in case with Ness/Lucas and Marth/Ike.
Ugh, really!?!?
Difference: Fire Emblem is a WAY bigger franchise. Once again you have pathetically chosen another terrible example. Also you claim that what I said implies I have knowledge that Camelot is developing another Golden Sun title. A good illusion to make your "
point" sound more reasonable is to take something off topic that is stupid and not even said by the person you are attacking and then point out why it is dumb, even though nobody ever said it. Please stay on topic.
But, so that
I get back on topic
Fire Emblem does not have a main protagonist. It has SEVERAL main protagonists. Much like other games such as (Oh, yeah!) Earthbound! So you picked ANOTHER bad example! Earthbound as a whole does not have a main protagonist which MIGHT I REMIND YOU is why Lucas nearly replaced Ness TWICE. In fact had Earthbound 64 been completed and released, he would have successfully done so in Melee. Having Ninten, Ness, and Lucas works because there IS NO main protagonist. There are several main protagonists and thus it makes perfect sense to have more than one.
And Lucina replacing Marth? Someone who OBVIOUSLY isn't going to reappear frequently OR has the role of THE main character of the entire franchise let alone that particular game, is a really stupid thought.
Golden Sun
UNLIKE FIRE EMBLEM (I still can't believe THAT was your defense.) Is a small series like Sin & Punishment where if a character takes the place of that Protagonist after only a couple games, you can expect it to stay that way. Not only has Marth been the protagonist in several SEPERATE Fire Emblem Games and not always in order of release, but he is STILL being used as the most famous character in the more famous franchise and can be expected to keep returning. You are comparing such a BIG game series to such a SMALL game series. And if you think about it, Alph COULD replace Olimar. But, of course I doubt you do think about it. You take the unexpected event of something happening and claim it to be stupid simply because being a bad speculator you don't expect or consider it. However Olimar is still in Pikmin 3 and is important story wise. He hasn't become retired because he is still fit to do his duty and is still continuing what he does. But, whether Alph will replace him is not for you to say. In fact Olimar could stay for other reasons, that doesn't mean reasons for him being replaced were irrelevant.
Next time don't compare a small and more obscure series to a clearly more popular and bigger series. Golden Sun is not a big series of games and thus nobody will really care if Matthew (The new protagonist who replaced Issac from now on.) is in SSB instead of him.
P.S. I never mentioned in my previous statements cutting ANYBODY. I was talking about characters getting in over other characters
DO YOU ALWAYS COME UP WITH SUCH TERRIBLE EXAMPLES!?!?!?!?!? You know what I love? You go rambling on into stuff that isn't even relatable to the point I was making?
And again I say: Comparing Matthew's situation to Ganondorf
................................................................................................ I have faith in your speculating no longer.
