The most I can think of is that the direct was originally slated to have two reveals, Isabelle at the end and Isaac somewhere else, but Isaac got cut due to the Earthquake. It really felt like the Direct had a lot of filler, but who knows how much of it was already planned
Been covered long before, counterpoints exist, I'm not gonna get them but I do appreciate you bringing this up.
But what if Isaac in Ultimate has an alternate costume where he has his beard? Would that be an acceptable compromise for you?
Nintendo has pretty strict content rollout plans, this would mess up a lot of potential promotional material, especially if the banner was planned to have both Isabelle and Isaac added to it.
So he's fine? Umm, hopefully this is all what's going on, this is scary.
If the leak IS legit then I doubt they're all getting trailers anyway. Banjo probably will since he's a third party, but the rest could share a single trailer or just be revealed in something like the 50 fact extravaganza.
My point is that Isaac would have been revealed separately from Isabelle, but in the same direct. The fact that Sakurai says that the draft had to be changed as well is suspicious. Yes, I know that this is purely speculation but I actually believe it now.
His official reddit account posted this:
F
It's more that even implying that Isaac had anything to do with delaying the September Direct is grounds for being considered insensitive towards those who died in the earthquake. I got chewed out for this in this thread, once.
Shadow sure as heck won't have a trailer, even the Smash staff won't be this edgy for him.
This would be acceptable, but I don't think it's likely. The two Ikes can work with the same animations, but dad Isaac simply cannot work as an alt for kid Isaac due to their differing proportions. One or both of them would look awkward. Dad Isaac would also have a larger hitbox, which creates a balancing issue depending on what costume the Isaac player is using (whether intentionally or due to the other slots being taken).
Seems like he's had a mental breakdown of some kind.
You might be thinking of Bust-A-Move (Puzzle Bobble), which might have had Green Orbs with Sprouts in them at some point.
Isaac (along with the other members of his party) only has Plant-bending under very specific circumstances (specifically, when Isaac has non-Venus Element Djinn equipped to him; you can get Growth on Isaac by equipping at least one Mars (Fire) Elemental Djinn to him).
Yeah, I saw that, this and the Grinch leak is going to give me a heart attack.
An item that may or may not be related to Golden Sun was accidentally shown.
Let's kill this right now.
What exactly is this supposed to accomplish? Freaking people out? Because it's working.
That weird green thing right? I saw it. Not totally sure what it is right now, but it is truly Golden Sun, that bodes well for the leak.
...Since when is it insensitive to say that? The Japanese have delayed/canceled plenty of stuff due to poor timing from earthquakes before. Is referencing the earthquake at all insensitive? Because if so that's stupid.
Greninja. No real argument after that.
Well one was a character, this item is more seemingly ambiguous than anything else tbh.
Dude either nuked all of his social media and content or he legitimately got hacked.
On the topic of this, I think if it’s real some might be reserved as “secret characters” on the website.
Don't tell me this is Young Ramsey again
Not sure if that helps or hurts Isaac, but at least no one can say they're refusing to discuss leaks.
If I'm not mistaken, it was @Smashing_Ramen who told me that. If I misremembered, please correct me as soon as possible.
They had Greninja's design fleshed out when Smash 4 began development, a year and a half before X and Y came out; not only did Ultimate begin development less than a year before Sun and Moon released, but Incineroar and the other starter's final evolutions had their concept art leaked about half a year before the games released.
I dunno, I'm not a fan of the guy but he never seemed like the type of guy to do this to his own fans. Even after reading the ARG stuff it seems too much.
This man better not pulling same trick just like behind the meme did. I'm concerned for him through.
There will be no secret characters. Sakurai stated they would reveal every fighter (and if this leak is true, they already have been...).
It's the fact that they're so willing to delve into leaks other than the Grinch one which is what people find suspicious in the first place though.
