Still catching up on the conversation in this thread, but I got mentioned to clear up the loz thing. Basically, loz followed me on twitter to say he liked my video I did on him and Vergeben, that's it. As far as I know, he is only speculating on twitter due to needing to lay low after the Skull Kid leak on gamefaqs.
Treat his words as speculation, not as a leak, not as fact, because on twitter that is exactly what he's doing - Speculating. My video below goes over my thoughts on loz18 in more detail if you haven't checked it out. I'll reply again later after catching up with all the new pages on the thread.
EDIT:
Alright, guys, we need to remember something very important. We are Isaac supporters. Regardless of how others view us, regardless of how some of you guys may be doubting his chances, regardless of how some of us may be so sure he's in that we might get burned, we are Isaac's people. We are the only people keeping the hype going for this character.
Even if you have a gut feeling Isaac won't make it in, you should still do whatever you can to support the character. We already know the alternatives, assist trophy or nothing at all. They've been discussed to death and we're all well aware that things may not go our way. But until I've received confirmation as to Isaac's fate, I am
not giving up and I'm going to go forward with enough optimism for everyone.
