Crazy that we made it past 1,000 pages and still going strong. I’m hoping that the people we lost in Nov. 2018 will come back in full force soon. The more support the better. After FP5, Smash Ultimate is not done yet so there’s still hope for our Golden Boy! Fan rules mean nothing. Remember that!
This is out of the blue, but what got into you to support Isaac? For me, I didn't know anything about GS and Isaac, and when he was in the Grinch Leak I was like 'meh.'
But then I saw his Assist Trophy summoning gigantic hands and thought it looked cool, so played the first 2 GS games, and I fell in love with it.
Played the games around 2003 which I fell in love with. Isaac has a ton of potential and new things to bring into Smash that the roster severely lacks which is earthbending/geomancer, psynergy, summons, Djinn, etc. We need that in our Smash lives!
Wasn’t that big into Smash till around 2006 when Brawl was announced. I have played Smash64 and Melee before, but the hype for Brawl is what drew me into Smash. At that time, Isaac was my 2nd Most Wanted then. Sonic was the 1st with Simon being 3rd. After I got Sonic, my focus went towards Isaac. When I found out he was an AT, I was pretty bummed, but happy he was in. Have a ton of snapshots of him in that game. Haha!
Fast forward to Smash 4, I thought he would get in this time. Even had a recent game (Dark Dawn) too. But it was a bad time to be a Golden Sun fan then as it felt like Nintendo wanted nothing to do with the IP and wanted to focus on the newer stuff. Almost no mention of Golden Sun in Smash 4 except for two songs (one remix returning from Brawl & a rip from Dark Dawn). After DLC was over, all us fans including me drifted away defeated.
2018 comes and our burning desire for Isaac is rekindled and it felt like he would get in for sure this time after seeing fan favorites get in like Ridley, K. Rool, Simon (my 3rd Most Wanted), etc. It felt like so much was going in his favor, only to see him be an AT again. While extremely crushing, it made us realize that if we want Isaac in Smash and Golden Sun to return, we need to start raising our voices now! So, this was a good wake up call. A painful one, but one we needed.
Anyway, once Isaac is in, I can finally rest. But at the same time, I’ll be rooting and supporting other fan favorites out there that need to be in Smash because there are a lot of good ones that need to be in now. Especially ATs/Spirits/Etc that NEED to be promoted.
Keep fighting the good fight, fellow Adepts! We will be victorious one day!
