I'd say just ignore them i mean I could say bandana dee is a gomba with a hat who's over shadowed by his own king and the much cooler meta knight not to mention maglor would add more to smash probably but I'm not call characters names (even tho I did right now) I get why everyone was on edge about Isabelle but I think it has to do with the fact that she wasn't worth the wait of one week of build up I love her too death tho
I've gone back and forth on him being cut from the direct. An AC tease is a good way to close out with some hype, and it would make sense to have just Isabelle since she doesn't have one of those "Smash first" fanbases like Isaac, who would go over many casuals' heads.
At the same time though, that whole vibe and tease would fit much better in the opening since it had a slow build-up. It would still work to have Isabelle in the opening and somebody more hype at the end (like Ridley and K. Rool) since Isabelle is #68. I do believe if they made a major change we didn't know about, it was Isaac being removed rather than something with Torna or another game since earthquakes would be an immediate no-no.
I think the AC/Isabelle reveal was meant to be an opener. It slower paced, and while it's Exciting to have a game like that announced, it's not hype, and it didn't feel like it as supposed to be. It felt like it was supposed to be easing people into the direct. Of coure that's just me.
Isabelle was clearly made specifically for the Direct; the whole reason the announcement even halfway works is because people aren't sure if it's announcing a new AC or is about Smash. Whether that was seriously all they planned or whether they had anything else planned is up in the air, but if Tom Nook staring at a screen and announcing AC was seriously the last thing they wanted before the end of the Direct it's ridiculous.
It seems people have reverted to pre-K Rool state because of Box Theory. Only relevant characters are possible now, old fan favorites aren't.

Yeah, it was pretty weird to start with Luigi's Mansion 3. You probably would have had Animal Crossing Switch be the opening announcement that would get people excited. So, while I do not like putting on the tinfoil hat, I still can't resist wondering if this was meant to be the true opening bit in the Direct.

It's not that i hate the guy or want to ignore him, but it's disappointing to me that a guy that's apart of the group that is supposed to research everything about Smash Bros, and yet he can't even do basic research on Isaac, a Nintendo Charcater.
It's also disappointing because he uses a straw-man for this argument against a character to counter a straw man of his preferred character.
Isaac is more than a "Blonde swordsman".
He's the representative of Golden Sun. A once important franchise to Nintendo.

This situation feels like Nindies Direct 2: Electric Boogaloo in that the reveal at the end feels a bit odd and done on short notice, as if to compensate for a plan that got swapped out. At least we got actual Smash content this time.
For the box, I blame the untrained interns who have no idea how to do proper marketing material, yet again.

I like Bandana Dee as much as the next guy, but the Kirby franchise already has a protagonist, an anti-hero, and an antagonist. All three of which are unique characters.
I just think that time developing the game would be better spent putting new (Nintendo) franchises in instead of giving a 3-or-more character franchise yet another character.

Some people ain't gonna see it your way my man I say let them think with there ignorant Minds it don't matter what matters is if Sakurai can convince those people that character is interesting Sakurai convince me Isabelle can work and I was mad at first but after sleeping on it for a couple days I love her so anybody can like Isaac no matter what they say it don't matter till they see him

You know, I'd love to see some real beneficial use for a potential Isaac amiibo. Usually, these things just give items, costumes, or stat/health boosts, but I'd personally love to unlock a new Djinn/class or bonus map ala Crossbone Isle when I tap Isaac's amiibo.

I do support Dee, but he could easily work as DLC. Really, I think any ballot character could, but Dee especially has the notability as a Kirby character (which Japan eats up) to be an appealing DLC choice that both Smash and Nintendo fans alike will want to buy.

There would be, of course. I don't want it to be thought of as the only option and glorified/overpriced DLC, especially "pay-to-win DLC". I'd just like some memorable utility for the amiibo that I'm paying $15 for, because as cool as it is as a collectible, they are supposed to serve more of a purpose beyond that.
Isaac legit has the power to summon a god who throws people into a supernova.
I think people downplay Isaac power
Plus Adult Isaac has the power of the Golden Sun, like all the elements at his disposal he legit is walking alchamy
People are like that when it comes to smash.
"NO MY CHARACTER ONLY MINE MINE MINE!"
Dixie is a main star of her own game, so is Isaac. BWD is a sidekick.
I have no opinion on him but if you are going to critique characters give more then the generic reasoning.
During smash time people become obsessed with characters to the point they suck the fun out of spectating
People should be rooting for Nintendo Characters! The more the better! It's a game of history!
"I like BWD, I would love to see him! He would be interesting. Isaac, I might not have any attachment too, would be cool for his fans and Nintendo history! Dixie is the last big DK character! I would love to see my pick first but I want other people happy too"
That should be the mentality people have.
Look, I dislike Xenoblade 2. Pyra and the other titblades just make me uncomfortable. However, Xeno is important to Nintendo. If they get in as DLC that means good things for Nintendo and Xeno fans.
I just want people to be happy man, Smash culture is so draining.
I want Isaac in, I want him in badly, I want GS remastered or GS4 to happen. However I will get what I can take
Bandana Dee is one of my most wanted newcomers and the whole "hat Goomba" argument just always bugs me to no end. Bandana Dee is a unique character with unique lines that just happens to be the same species as a basic enemy. That would be the same as someone arguing that Marth shouldn't be in because he's the same species as the enemies in his game (which are humans).

I understand what you mean I was just saying that we can all say stupid things to undermine characters Pwn was right smash speculation brings out the worst in people

I think his arguments is that most people didn't play DD. And most of the new audience wouldn't get most of the plot if they didn't play DD. (They'll need to buy an old DS game.)
What he's proposing is introducing an audience to GS with a remake. That way, it's a fresh start for everyone involved.
I know I haven't popped up in this thread much, but I'm also rooting for Isaac.
Would you guys want him to use multiple Psynergy types or stick just to Earth element and the Hands? Because I could see the one attack were he jumps into the air and crashes down like a burning Meteor as a recovery move.
That's a bad idea, IMO. It's been too long. It would be better to remake 1+2 first, for the Switch. If THAT is sucessful enough then remaster and enchance DD and make GS4
Dropping GS4 right now will all of us reason to buy it, but nobody else is going to want to drop in on a cliffhanger ending from 8 years ago.
Yeah. BDD is a neat little guy. But some of his fanbase is just...somewhat repulsive. No offense.
Yeah. It's not about the originality, but the execution. Just like GS.

This guy doesn't know what he is talking about. "A Diddy echo and blonde swordsman throwing rocks." Really?
Dixie is the most iconic character left that debuted in the 1990s and starred in two of the original SNES trilogy games and had a huge part in Tropical Freeze. And Isaac is an iconic character from a very well-known GBA series. That guy needs to do some research. I don't believe Dixie will be an echo at all. If anyone from the DK series is getting the echo treatment, it's Funky plain and simple.
A bit of a light-hearted post, but while we wait for a hopeful reveal of our golden child, at least the dub project's gonna come out soon! That'll be something to get excited for some GS love.
It will likely be done in response to Smash, so new fans really have to be accounted for in Golden Sun's future. You have to give them a chance to get introduced to the lore, characters, and gameplay just like we did so they can get invested for sequels. Look at how we got a Bayo 1+2 compilation on Switch following her Smash inclusion, and those games were originally on the still accessible Wii family of consoles.
It's also a great chance to spruce up the dialogue of the GBA games and fix DD's common complaints.
