Smash Ace
i never got the "might as well have him as an assist!" argument. you cant play as him whether he's an assist or not there. him being an assist just says they know he exists, and for a character as popular as isaac, thats a huge slap in the face.I understand it's bittersweet, but having nothing over something because it wasn't as you wanted it seems a little petulant to me. I get how seeing him might sting and remind people of how he didn't become playable, but looking at it as if the glass were half full instead of empty... this'll be his first appearance in eight years. This'll be his first appearance in HD. I'm gonna be happy just seeing him again.
I mean, am I disappointed he's not playable? Sure. But I just like Isaac... I'll take the character however I can. Now maybe if he was K. Rool or Ridley levels of popularity I'd be a bit more peeved, but he wasn't. Prior to like... August, most people were counting him out anyway.
Part of me was scared he was gonna be nothing again. He obviously deserved more than that, but that was also true for Smash 4.
