Just like Zero I will be as bold as predicting that Isaac is the next newcomer annouced at a direct starting whit Smash content, why?
Sakurai already said that the rooster will be inspire by the ballot, and Isaac is one of the frontrunner.
I've been following leaky pandy since january, if he is confident enough too state that Skull Kid is a boss, I believe him. He promised too only post on things he was 100% certain after the backlash from the ND back in january.
Skull kid was not high on the ballot, why? We have the fan poll. Why should we consider them? Well just like the real ballot Smash fans are the most likelly to vote. (And multiple times in this one).
We had a bunch of frontrunner deconfirm early on, Ashley, Shovel Knight and Bomberman.
So why on earth would Isaac be different?
Why should we be the ones to suffer while the others are already burried?
Because Isaac is playable, he's been tease and not disconfirm yet.
Why early in a direct? At E3 we got Inkling and in August we got the Belmonts. In both we talked about the Splatoon stage and the Castlevania stage, then we finished whit newcomers from series which already as a stage.
The hint after all of that is from GS, nothing else of value was posted by Sakurai.
The she... sun shall raise again.
That's my honest opinion, why would Sakurai makes exception for Golden Sun fans, then tease Isaac to crush our hopes, he said he doesn't like posting on tweeter because it can gives fan false hope.
From a guy who played Golden Sun for 3 hours because playing GBA games on PC/Wii U games sucks... wth Big N, the 3DS was perfect for this...
