Why do people look down on the sport series?
I'm not "looking down" on the sport series. In fact, Mario Golf Advance, on the GBA, is one of my favourite games on the console. I'm a fan of Camelot's work, I'm not going to slam them, so please don't put words in my mouth.
You realize the same people who make the majority of the sports games also make our games, right? We don't hate the Sports titles, in fact, I love them and the developers. I just believe Isaac brings more to the table than Waluigi would in this specific instance. I would love to see both in eventually.
In my case, nah. I don't really have the drive or desire to have a full on war with anyone else - I'm content with sitting back, hoping, and moving on regardless of the outcome. The Smash Community admittedly has quite the reputation for people "warring" over characters, and that's just not my style. Hope & ask for who floats your boat.
Going to “war” over something we have zero control over sounds pretty silly to me.
So good to see you back man, I didn't know you dabbled in animation too!? Really looking forward to what you come up with
It would break my heart, but I guess I would pic Isaac. The Zelda franchise deserves more playable characters, but its global representation is actually great while the Golden Sun franchise needs at least one playable fighter with one stage; that should be the bare minimum.
Isaac/Felix/Matthew is possible. All 8? No. Too many different builds, weapons and abilities. Even within the same element. Garet and Jenna are way diffrent, same with Piers and Mia. Sheba and Ivan could work, but not with Felix and Isaac on top of it.
I like this idea. Kind of represent the other part members with costume color.
I always think that Waluigi unique "mechanic" would simply be "cheating". He is a trickster.

. But I was also thinking of something different. I was thinking of something similar to how Link’s alt colors are. Link has six colors and then a Dark Link alt and a Fierce Deity alt.True. But nothing says Waluigi either. Our first Assist Trophy promotion could be nether of them.
Oh, I know! He could cheat by summoning items, even when you turn them off. Of course, they wouldn't be overpowered stuff, except for an equivalent of Peach pulling a Bob-Omb/Mr. Saturn.
But I thought Waluigi was a Physics Adept since he breaks the laws of the universe on what a human can do.Just a reminder to you all that Waluigi is a Mercury (Water) Adept.
It’s the perfect opposite to Mario/Luigi who are Mars (Fire) Adepts as stated by the Takahashi Bros.
Unless you go by SuperStar Saga where Luigi is a Jupiter Adept.Just a reminder to you all that Waluigi is a Mercury (Water) Adept.
It’s the perfect opposite to Mario/Luigi who are Mars (Fire) Adepts as stated by the Takahashi Bros.
Ah! You see, Mercury Adepts have always had this power. It’s just that Waluigi is the only one so far to tap into said power.
Wait, what?!?
Nothing says anyone is the most likely assist trophy getting promoted, because that was never why a character got promoted from being an assist trophy or spirit. It was always about their series being chosen. They don't sit around a table and say "hey we should promote an assist trophy" or anything like that, that's ridiculous and we know for a fact that's not how it happens.
I don't know if you're asking about my first or second sentence, so I will explain both.
Yes. Just because something is more likely it doesn't mean it's guaranteed. It's not a 100% chance for a reason.
The odds seem to mainly come from people viewing the characters from their assist trophy status and not based on their series as

pointed out.
Well, wouldn't the last character count as such? Because the way FP2 was presented, Fighter 6 seemed as "extra". And I kinda think it's a character from a series already presented in Smash.
You make a good point with your "positive" section, there is less work involved in "upgrading" Assists because they already have a model to work with. As for the "negative" side, I personally don't think that is the case, as seen by Bomberman's Mii Costume, which definitively proves that the team is willing to go back to base game Assists for DLC content. Bomberman probably got a Mii Costume because Sakurai wasn't satisfied with how he was represented and how many people wanted him as a playable character. That part, in particular, matters for Isaac because he already has a Mii Costume, so the only further representation is to become a playable character. I don't doubt that Isaac is on Sakurai's mind (if only because he likes pleasing fans) and if Nintendo decided Isaac was a good choice, I think he'd go for it, not even concerned that he's already an Assist because he wants to give the character more representation, not the other way around.
I don't think Sakurai necessarily makes a character an assist because he feels that's good enough representation for the character per se. A fully playable character gives you a stage, more music and a full moveset to better represent the world the character comes from. There's just only so many fully playable characters that Sakurai can add to a game so an assist is just another way to represent a franchise that did not make it to playable status.
