I feel like the multiplayer colosseum would be a bit obscure for Sakurai to use as a reference since I don't think many people used it

After getting both Ridley and K. Rool, and the likely possibility that Lip is stil MIA, I really have nothing else to do for this speculation period than root for the other highly requested characters yet to be DC.

While my exposure to Golden Sun is minimal, I always figured Isaac would be a cool addition. I think he has tons of potential for a moveset, not to mention he hails from a series that I feel needs much more exposure, and hey, having another magic user would be cool.

With the direction Ultimate is going in term of its newcomer selection, I'm starting to think Isaac has a greater chance to become playable than ever before. Sure, nothing is guaranteed, but I feel he's right after K. Rool in terms of demand for any Nintendo owned character for Smash. And if that's what got K. Rool in, then Isaac can surely follow suit.

Stay strong, golden boys! Isaac may finally make his comeback...

As an Assist Trophy! If Grey Fox came back, what's stopping Isaac? :troll:
lol/jk, of course I mean playable fighter...
No. but seriously, it has always bugged me out that he was just gone from Smash 4

Sakurai has reference a lot obscure things before like Game & Watch and Ice Climbers.
So it wouldn't be too weird to have Sakurai reference something like this.

Since i'm playing CS:S, i'd like to have another discussion going on here.

What GS music do you think is worthy or needing of a remix /if/ Isaac is a playable fighter?

No worries buddy, just messing with you. :awesome:

Speaking of this whole Twitter thing, I noticed a reply to @IsaacforSmash's tweet to Sakurai that I liked:

View attachment 157289

This kinda makes sense. We've been looking at the image wanting the chosen characters to LOOK like Golden Sun characters, but actually they're all the protagonists of these big adventure/fantasy games and are sword-wielding warriors. And Isaac fits perfectly with the rest of them. :love:
Lol, was not expecting you to show this xD

Venus Lighthouse, Isaac's Battle Theme, and Saturos' Boss theme are the essentials. If those two songs don't get remixes, I will be surprised.

Honestly, if we don't get Isaac, I just hope our community will still take the hit with our heads held high. We know we've done what we could to support our boy and I think we can be proud of what we've achieved so far and just how many people we've gotten over the years to try out and enjoy Golden Sun.
If we do get hit, let's show the other butt hurt fans that we aren't like your normal community of fans. We still have our chance to rise up for a Golden Sun 4 or a remake and that will show them that we are chill and respected for it.

The Golden Sun community is nothing like the ashley or waluigi fanbase.
Sunrise or Sunset, I think we will all behave and enjoy Smash Ulitmate.
That's right! We will have honor in what we get no matter what. Let's show them we are more mature than they think we are :D

Isaac Battle Theme, Jenna Battle theme, Golden Sun Main Theme are all musts. :)

Also, I want Hiroyuki Sawano to remix a Golden Sun song. Hee hee!

I also want to make an honorable mention to the battle theme against Briggs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLvJOu-uLjg&index=16&list=RDkfr61smQMfQ

I just love Love LOVE the :32 second mark of this song!

I need the Sol Sanctum Theme remixed/updated, Elemental Stars would be fantastic, Aqua Rock, Tundaria Tower, Jupiter Lighthouse, Mars Lighthouse and of course Doom Dragon Battle Theme just being updated. That would be a pretty amazing backdrop to fight on.

Some far shots but favorites of mine are Drums of Daila, Yallam, Ruins of Lemuria

I wanna support Isaac. He was my vote for the ballot, but after he lost his spot as an assist trophy I kind lost my hope. This whole reference photo thing that Sakurai did put flames to my heart all over again.

I have always wanted Isaac in Smash since Brawl. I was a big supporter of him back then, but second to my #1 Geno. Geno has been the only character that I have thrown my hat in for this Smash because he has always been my #1. However, I am filled with such hope and hype after this most recent direct that I want to throw my support behind Isaac again as well. Golden Sun is on my top 5 favorite RPGs and I could truly see his inclusion possible netting us that sequel to Dark Dawn we all need. <3 I am so strongly hopeful for Geno and Isaac right now. =) *fingers crossed*
I feel you dude! I want both Geno and Isaac as well. Geno being my number 2 and Isaac my number 1. Both of our fan groups have been through a lot and placed in the dark for so long, we deserve our chance in the spotlight and that time is now!

Along with the series staples like isaacs battle theme, venus lighthouse etc, I think a Mars lighthouse remix would be sick

Edit: I just realized I NEED a colosso battle theme remix..like I LITERALLY need that

Another thought about that image Sakurai posted and that Soren leak

2 characters in Sakurai's image match the series of characters in the leak and there was a unnamed character I think?

Link-Skull Kid, Marth-Soren, Shulk-Elma or Rex(?)
For Soren he would got Ike for sure

How would you guys feel if we had a stage that can switch off between all 4 lighthouses? Or they can be chosen in a way the Mushroom Kingdom 1-1/1-2 stage did since it was two different stages in one?

That sounds...complicated.

But interesting.

Regardless of how you look at it, the tweet picture is certainly interesting. It's either been angled that way to reference the Camelot angle, to obscure a 4th character to the right of Shulk (who is likely a sword wielding newcomer, possibly from a new series) or just because it gives a good view of the dragon and is a sweet action shot.

All three things are certainly a possibility, but always be prepared to accept the third one. It would be pretty cool if he had been forced to adjust the camera like that to obscure an unrevealed newcomer who's still being play tested.

I'm listening to the Lost Age OST now.

lol this song from the Lost Age sounds like something out of Donkey Kong Country 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5Z2NvUPYVw&index=17&list=PLBFC277D047DDFDA3

And I can't go without mentioning this gem from the first Golden Sun that completely blew and engrossed my little mind so many years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNVHkVpePMU Hearing "Hopelessness" with headphones on the small GBA was mind blowing to me back in 2002 when I played this game. I felt the heart strings tug as the story commenced with this song playing in the back ground.

Oh and guys, check out this rockin Venus Lighthouse remix I found on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKMTzrG92TE Starts off with a soft piano and then the guitar jumps in to kick it off. This would be pretty amazing to hear in Smash!

I'm honesty still surprised with how good the music is, because the GBA soundchip is a hunk of junk.

Golden Sun, Zero Mission, Ridley Screams from Metroid Fusion(just kidding, but please put this scream in smash), and 99% of FE 7 soundtrack

You know this "103 is the total" bugged me so I decided to read-between-the-lines like I did back when Labo was teased to figure out what was going on (yes I actually realized Labo was going to be controller craft related.).

And that I did this time around and if anything, it hints at MORE stages. Look at what Sakurai says

"The stage total IS TURNING out to be pretty impressive"
"Let's compare it to the TOTALS of the previous games"
"NOW the total number of stages is... voila!"
"103! We must be crazy"

I CAPS'd the important parts. Now you think. Why do this? Well look at it. NONE of them are PAST-TENSE. If it was, it would say "Has Turned Out", "Final Totals", and "Finally"

It is using PRESENT tense in everything he says. This is crucial as it states Sakurai is not done yet.
If that was final that would do a blow to hype from characters for potential new franchises (and a ROB stage) as Splatoon and Castelvania have both gotten stages to represent their series.

It's funny, because those are the exception.

Espicaly those SNES converted music. **they are bad**

Alot music on the GBA, even on some nintendo songs, are absolutely unpleasant.

That's because Motoi Sakuraba is a musical genius.
Tales Of Symponia's OST is still dope.

Golden Sun is my fav, but...

This underrated game called Riviera: The Promised Land also had an AMAZING OST on the GBA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGeDb_ZuApo Love this battle song!
Holy crap. This is gold.

I think my main issue with most music on the GBA is the same reason why 3d games on GBA didn't work.

The stuff deveolpers wanted with 3d, the GBA couldnt provide due to limitations.

Same can be applied to it's soundchip.
