Honestly I agree too kinda. I think if they want to represent Final Fantasy, They could've pick Cecil or Terra, since they debuted on the snes.
No if they wanted to "rep" Final Fantasy they picked the absolute best character for the job. If they wanted to pick a FF character with Nintendo ties they picked incorrectly but if you have to choose one character to be the embodiment of Final Fantasy you can't really debate there's a better choice than Cloud.

If I shared your optimism regarding the Smash fanbase handling disappointment in a measured fashion I'd say go hog wild. This instance is a stretch by any means; I've been down this path before, and a lot of people seem new around here, so I'd love to mitigate backlash should this picture prove... a picture.

And if it doesn't, there will be hype to go around regardless.

At this point, we can only hope that the ballot helps isaac.

I don't think i should add fuel to the fire, but isn't there a Colosseum in Golden Sun?


You know? The Colossum Colsseum? and that image just happens to take place at a Colosseum too?

Knowing them they will not make, they would just respond to the comment/twit like "C'mon thats a dumb excuse to your 0% character that is nothing more than a generic swordsman, but a monkey watching a TV is a 100% confirm to our favorite game sidecharacter" since I doubt anyone relacted to Gamexplain played Golden Sun, but yeah if they somehow make the video, will be a good up to our fight.
Dunno to me they seem like the guys that if see a sword on smash just skip to the end of the video lol (I love them but man... they're worst than me in speculation)
Gamexplain knows about Golden Sun, one of those guys is an Isaac supporter. Or was. I remember it from the Smash 4 era.

I wanted to believe the golden sun in the direct was a hint but that stage sun is normally that golden but at the same time could be a hint I like this samurai pic better

OH MY GOD i just got a flash of revelation !

Link doesn't talk and who does not talk in GS1? Isaac
Marth belongs to FIRE Emblem has a sword etc and who controls fire? Garet
Shulk can see the future, has an important item with magical powers, that the ennemies want it absolutely and who has a Chaman Rod with pretty much the same signification? Ivan.

I mean f**k it if this is not a reference
You'd think Roy would fit that role better if that were the case...

I think it was specifcally Derrick from Gamexplain who was the Isaac/Golden Sun fan. I remember him talking about Isaac during the Ballot days.

In fact he was the one Derrick voted for.

Let's hope!

I suppose if someone wanted to tweet it to him, there'd really be nothing to lose.

The picture is pretty promising, not gonna lie, but it's hard to really know what it means. If Sakurai wanted to reinforce "yes, the ballot was real," he could blow everyone away and announce Isaac next, though personally, if I had to put money on it, Isaac will be announced in the last Smash Direct if he's in.

That's arguably true. he is definitely the most iconic Final Fantasy character, I just thought his inclusion was kinda meh for the most parts.

Let us look at this in a perspective.

Brawl: Isaac AT and GS Music
Smash 4: GS Music

Smash Ultimate: No signs of an AT yet, the Camelot angle screenshot, GS music is no longer in the Norfair stage.
To me, that is a good sign. Missing in action.

Maybe a stage? Music goes there? Maybe Music gets moved to the arena?

Idk, but things seem pretty nice to me. I feel like his AT would have been shown off already.

I mean that's why we here I been a lurker here since the slightest thought of isaac. Also would say I'm a superfanboy as Golden Sun is my favorite RPG. Still here because of high hopes but I get it people be in they feelings and I was but guess what he is in or out. We either gone rejoice or be let down either way. Have fun dont hold back feelings because the fear he wont be in otherwise this chat is pointless. But my opinion so I respect others I just thought we were past dont get Hope's too high. We all in!

IMO, I think Isaac has a great chance at being revealed in the next Nintendo Direct (probably a general). If he's in, of course.

GS no longer on Norfair is easily explained given that all music is by series now instead of stage.

Wouldn't ROY make more sense though?

FIRE emblem is a bit of a stretch.
Of course Roy would be the best comparison with Garet but since it's Marth and not Roy on the picture =/

Edit: N3ON N3ON definitely Roy should've been here instead of Marth. If that was the cas this would give more credit to this idea

I enjoyed reading that Reddit thread. The GameFAQs one on the other hand... :glare:
As a general rule I like to avoid GameFAQs like the plague. The people there don't seem very pleasant. (I rarely see anyone there having anything positive to say about anything)

GameFAQs is just /v/-lite, there’s really no reason to still post there imo.

Gamefaqs is a mess, the admins rarely ever do anything about some problematic people on there. (From my time being on there)

Did Isaac get a trophy in smash 4.
Nope, he was cut all together.
but they did added one Golden Sun song though. :/

Even if this is just a coincidence my reply to Sakurai's tweet is blowing up. Sakurai might notice all the fans theorizing on the matter and the more people that cover it, the more people are introduced to the game thus more Golden Sun fans

It does feel like a lot of things are lining up. The camera angle. It taking place on the Colosseum stage. It involving a fight against a dragon. Having only three party members on the team. In the original game there was a battle mode set in a colosseum where you could only use three party members when playing it.

It's just.....very very interesting. I know it's easy to see what you want to see, but the parallels are really startling. On their own each aspect of this picture would mean nothing....but it feels like they're coming together to paint a picture.

Ridley, K.Rool, Issac, and Geno, the top 4 missing from the Pre-Brawl era. So far we have two out of four, but hopefully we can get the last two. :)

There's one thing that confuses me.

You say that you are limited to 3 people in the Colosseum, right?

I looked it up, and when you are fighting monsters, you arent limited.

It's only limited in a link battle.

Isaac's magic is completely different from Robin. He uses earth and plang magic and creatures called djinn for stat changes and new abilities. He also uses special magic called utility psynergy that uses his giant hand you might remember from Brawl in interesting ways to solve puzzles
