Haha, I am quite sure Isaac has a big following in Europe/UK, the dot will only get bigger around here!*sees the map among the results*
The dot over Jersey, UK (where I live) is faded compared to the other ones... it's probably going to get dimmer as more people vote.
Fantastic job on the poll. I'll share it on the Twitter account so I can get more people involved
Let's face it, going for a Pokemon from the latest generation just makes more sense, especially since you know Smash fans and Pokemon fans in 2015 would inevitably gravitate towards newer Pokemon. People aren't just expecting a Gen 7 Pokemon in Smash, they want one as well.
Not like I think we'll get anything announced today, there are multiple Nintendo accounts across the globe and I don't think they all would stop posting entirely if an announce were to be revealed that day.
Nah, twitter is pretty much a constant stream of updates.
I agree that the DD design for Longswords is way too big to fit Smash, I think Sakurai shrinking them down to more match how it looks in the first two games to still have that representation and making it look good.
Even if Isaac is deconfirmed I plan on sending an appropriate message to Sakurai, and apologize in advance for any other fans of Isaac who would show any kind of disrespect to him or the Smash team. They have put alot of work into it and everyone needs to realize they can't possibly put every character we want in the game. Although if none of my top 10 get in I would be very surprised and let down as only 2 of them are unlikely.
Not if they do his intro right. If done correctly their first response would be "who dat?" To "oh he has a sword" to "holy **** he is a freaking earth bender, with awesome pets that power him up!"
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Not once did I ever state that Isaac has nothing going for him! I however stated that i'm not going to put numbers on his chances because that is pointless! We never truly know what is on the back of Sakurai's mind. I'm extremely hopeful but i'm not going to count my count my chicks before that hatch!
I would honestly be ok with Lycanroc alot more so than Incineroar.
That's because they use their sword for around 10 and 22 moves out of their moveset respectively in addition to their swords being visible and prominently seen. As long as Isaac doesn't have a sword that can be seen during their render and idle animations and only used a sword for like 4 moves (similar to his SSF2 moveset) he should be fine.Honestly, if people thinkor
Yeah. I find it strange that with such a diverse cast of playable characters with diverse abilities, we really do not have anyone that uses Earth/Rock based attacks. The closest things we have in this regard are some isolated cases: Charizard's rock smash (which is gone in Ultimate), Donkey Kong's hand slap (his down special), and Kirby's stone ability.
I actually hope they won't do him like in SSF2. It feels like they worked a bit too hard to make him unique and he just feels disjointed. Psynergy, plants, earth, sword, they're all mashed together.
Guess when you said no other hints or any true evidence I took it to mean that you thought Isaac had nothing going for him lol. Also yeah, numbers aren't indicative of anything otherwise Robin wouldn't exist in 4 with how low his chances were rated in comparison to Chrom. And then there's the Sakurai factor, I'm just hoping as a big jrpg fan he played Golden Sun and finally got around to making Isaac playable.
I agree. I would like just tilts and jab and maybe his fair to be with the sword, i guess his bair would be best as a back kick like in ssf2, but everything else should be psynergy. And I know many of you want him to strictly have Venus based attacks but I would honestly prefer if he uses all elements
Hey thanks man :D!
I always felt Isaac's reveal would have more of a, 'Oh my god he's playable now!?' type of reaction vs a, 'Who is this?' akin to what most of Richter's reactions got. Lots of people seem familiar with Golden Sun, just don't talk about it cause it hasn't had a new game in years and not really relevant, unless someone's going to do a Let's Play or something. I'm still shocked Etika knows about Golden Sun lol.
That lunge reminds of Shulk's side special (back slash!).
Eh... Half and half. I think initially, Isaac will come across as a cliche, but give it time and he'll grow on a few people.
Considering we've already gotten quite a number of sword wielders thanks to the Fire Emblem series I can't say I'm really worried about whatever outburst will arise from Isaac getting in.
Every character will generate hate one way or another. Best to just ignore it and embrace the character.Sword characters aren't even a problem. They aren't even a third part of the entire roster. The whole hate towards sword characters is misdirected from what it should really be called… hate towards FE characters, which is the real issue.
I couldn't care less what haters think about Isaac using a sword, cause it isn't anywhere near being an actual issue at all, nor I think he would use it that much anyways. The whole interesting aspect about Isaac and Golden sun is psynergy and djinns, and I expect Sakurai would focus on those two aspects the most. Isaac will be pretty unique, I'm sure of it.
As a Fire Emblem fan, I can confidently say I don’t care. My two wanted Fire Emblem newcomers were two sword users (Chrom and Lyn), and if were up to me I’d cut Robin and Corrin (the two least sword-users).
This ^ 100%
Decidueye with Virion echo when?!
Man that sounds terrible. Good thing those kinds of people (coughShokiocough) are, many times, proven wrong. The hate train for Ridley was full of nonsense.
Lol lots of haters try finding something new to hate on. Once when Ridley and King K Rool made the cut this iteration, they then act like their was a legitimate reason for their inclusion all along, even though they said otherwise before, and then hate on either Isaac or other characters like Shantae saying they are not relevant enough. It's really sad.
indeed. that fool certainly got his comeuppance! Now I wanna see the isaac haters get proven wrong too and have them see how awesome he would be. would be perfect.
Seems like the "hat goomba" argument and other anti-Bandana Dee stuff like that didn't really pop up until after people could no longer **** on the idea of Ridley or K. Rool being in Smash.
