As we all know, the Venus Adept Isaac from the Golden Sun series was an Assist Trophy in Brawl and Ultimate. But what if he was given the playable treatment in Brawl? I designed this moveset with the intention of feeling like it came from Brawl while making something unique in its own right.
Playstyle: Disjoint Zoner
Isaac is somewhat heavy, he can't jump very high, and his general mobility is mediocre at best. However, his attack power and range is where he excels, along with his ability to control space.

Final Smash: Judgment; Isaac summons an angelic knight in the sky, who then flies offscreen and summons an explosive blast from his lion shield relative to where Isaac’s standing when the Final Smash is activated (55%, devastating knockback)
You can affect the stone pillars summoned by Raise in a multitude of ways.

You can affect the stone pillars summoned by Raise in a multitude of ways.
- Each pillar wears down over time before breaking, though attacking it breaks it faster
- When raised is used in the air or at a ledge, a stone pillar raises briefly before breaking shortly after
- Using Move on a pillar in the ground moves it along the ground, though it breaks once it reaches a ledge. If a pillar is already on a ledge, it breaks immediately.
