Congrats, you all. Not really a big Animal Crossing fan, but even with that in mind, I'm happy you all got what you wanted.

RetroMetalSonic · Sep 13, 2018

Hey, just dropping in to say congrats on getting your little assistant! I wasn't expecting her at all but now that I've seen her in action she's a welcome addition!

SuperDoom1 · Sep 13, 2018

Warning: What I'm about to say may sound a "little" harsh. I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm just speaking my mind. Now with that apology out of the way, let's cut the chatter and get to the rant.

Great job.
Great. Fricking. Job.
While our edgy and recognizable characters like Shadow and Scorpion get left in the dust, YOU fools get to party in your underwear because a dog (which are far inferior to cats) that NOBODY knows about except for the very small minority who have played an Animal Crossing game got in.
You caused Sakurai to crush all of our hopes and dreams because you IDIOTS wanted a FLIPPING DOG in your fighting game.
And for that, I look down upon you. Your selfish desires have caused me pain, and I wish not to look in the eyes of one of you fools. I just wanted a new Subspace...

Again, I'm sorry about anything that triggers you. This whole thing came out way meaner than I expected.

Luigifan18 · Sep 13, 2018

I forgot to to mention: congratulations from the Bomberman, Krystal, and Vaati threads!

Dude. There's being harsh, and then there's being a full-blown butt-blasted jackass. Jesus Christ, that was painful to read.

Mamp · Sep 13, 2018

are you ok there friend

Michael the Spikester · Sep 13, 2018

I'm now just imagining Isabelle beating up Ridley. The thought of it is just hilarious. :joyful:

Swade · Sep 13, 2018

Congrats guys you earned it.

Guynamednelson · Sep 13, 2018

Why yes, I am triggered. Because you think AC isn't a multimillion selling series.

Maikou · Sep 13, 2018

Dropping by from the Bandana Brigade to say, congratulations, Isabelle fans! She wasn't one of my most wanted newcomers, but I never disliked her. I simply had other characters I wanted. But she's in, and I'm happy for you all! She looks pretty fun, and I was surprised she's unique.

Sabrewulf238 · Sep 13, 2018

Congrats Isabelle fans.

Also congrats everyone who wanted an announcement for Animal Crossing Switch!

Arcadenik · Sep 13, 2018

I am very happy Isabelle is in! She has to be the most innocent character in Smash. I am also very happy with new Animal Crossing game for Switch!

I am also happy that Isabelle is not an Echo Fighter of Villager but I think she is at least a semi-clone... you know, like Link, Young Link, and Toon Link.

GoodGrief741 · Sep 13, 2018

YES

YEEEEES

Sudz · Sep 13, 2018

You memin' or are you for real because I cringed reading this

TheMarioaddict · Sep 13, 2018

Heckin' bamboozled, thought for sure we'd get Skull Kid today. Not that I'm complaining - can't wait to try her out!

Congrats you guys on getting the rarest and most adorable pupper in Smash!

LunarLiv · Sep 13, 2018

In response to Isabelle being a unique fighter

John Dylan Smith · Sep 13, 2018

Well congrats to you all on having your wish come true Isabella fans (Do hope you have a wonderful day and God bless you)!

Do wish we could have seen more Smash content (A New stage, more modes, more items, more Assist Trophies) in the Direct! But I guess that's just me!

Siggy88 · Sep 13, 2018

I got no words to express my feelings for this reveal so I'm going to let the pic below show what I think...

I guess the biggest thing to take from this is that she's not an echo. I don't think anyone saw that coming.

Guybrush20X6 · Sep 13, 2018

Well with Isabelle in that's now all the characters I thought were locks for Smash Switch when it was first revealed. (Inkling, Wolf, Ice Climbers).

Now, we are in uncharted territory...

~ Valkyrie ~ · Sep 13, 2018

While I think Isabelle deserved just teensy bit better reveal, especially with what we got so far... can't complain at all that she's here like this! She looks refreshingly fun!

Speaking which, can't believe they actually brought back the fishing rod for her, among other things. I say you guys really lucked out with how she's been implemented, being a very robust semi-clone of Villager. Also, while I knew it was gonna come sooner and later, AC Switch finally being announced is a big doozy.

Anyway, biggest congrats to you all who went on with her! It's pretty nifty that you got more than an Echo out of her like this.

Drakonix · Sep 13, 2018

I am so happy right now! Time for Isabelle to make her debut.
(Totally want Isabelle to completely mess up Ridley now) :laugh:

SSBCandidates · Sep 13, 2018

Congratulations in getting Chabelita in. (Chabelita is a nickname to girls named Isabelle in Mexico).

Dixie Kong · Sep 13, 2018

I can’t wait to play as her! Hype!

Rie Sonomura · Sep 13, 2018

I’m pretty happy she’s in! Not an AAAAAAA OMG YESSSS reaction, but more “Huh, neat.”

I like that she’s unique, too.

Laniv · Sep 13, 2018

As the owner of the Tom Nook support thread on Smashboards, I'd like to extend my congratulations!

We'll be cheering you on!!

Teeb147 · Sep 13, 2018

Thank you for sharing your feelings. I understand to feel that way. I'm sorry you didn't get some more characters to suit you. Keep watch on future directs, this was just a Nintendo direct, there's going to be smash ones.

Until then, for those who want to, let's celebrate Isabelle, who Nintendo graciously granted for some reason that we don't quite know fully

Red Dead Redeemed · Sep 13, 2018

Congratulations Isabelle fans! Ignore all the idiots who are salty, I'm very happy that you guys got your girl in Smash!

RileyXY1 · Sep 13, 2018

Yeah! Isabelle is in!

John Dylan Smith · Sep 13, 2018

Well there's always next tim to see favorite character get (Still have two months to go before Smash Bros Ultimate is released to the public)!

UserKev · Sep 13, 2018

I felt bad for Tom Nook. He honestly doesn't look interesting tho, He's better off as what he's already doing.

To all of who said Animal Crossing wasn't deserving of a new rep.

Ed-boy · Sep 13, 2018

WOOT! Another one off the wantlist!
And she looks to be the series' first semi-clone since Brawl. It's funny, we all thought she'd be one of two extremes (echo or new fighter).

Damn, Sakurai! back at it again with the subverted expectations. - I'm so sorry...

SuperDoom1 · Sep 13, 2018

Sorry 'bout that. It's just I wanted something exciting for the Direct that I didn't already know.

I will be when Shadow or Scorpion gets in.

I think it's saying something when City Folk on the Wii did worse than Splatoon 1 on the Wii U.

if I was doing this fur teh lulz, you'd expect me to sign it with 'ur boi'.

I'd be less selfish if I had a feeling that there was gonna be another Direct. We've had five directs this year, and I expect them to slow down.
Also, no, this wasn't trolling. I understand if you hate me, but I'm a little angry at this Direct.

Sudz · Sep 13, 2018

Honestly tho wasn't originally too interested in Isabelle primarily because I was worried they were going to do a really awkward echo fighter with her. Seeing that she's a unique, tho... I didn't expect it and that makes it even sweeter!

Also, a small portion of her moves are visually similar but I don't really think she even counts a semi clone, she looks as though she will play completely differently.

Very exciting stuff! Congrats again!

Oracle_Summon · Sep 13, 2018

Congratulations guys!

PrinceGal3n · Sep 13, 2018

Congratulations to y'all! I figured Isabelle would show up! Despite my initial thoughts, I think she is more along the lines of a semi-clone than a unique fighter. I am glad she is more unique than an Echo fighter though! This also makes the point that new semi-clones are also a possibility too! Bring on more Smash characters!

Arymle Roseanne · Sep 13, 2018

Hooray for the precious puppy!
And people thought she was too delicate to be a fighter, I knew something good was gonna happen today. Thanks again Sakurai.

Now I gotta put all my hope for Dixie now.

Fatmanonice · Sep 13, 2018

Seeing Isabelle with Death's Scythe for the first time will make me deliriously happy. The fact that Peach and Palutena basically go vertical spread eagle in Smash in some form while Isabelle hold her skirt down when she's falling despite having a pencil skirt is both hilarious and adorable.

Red Dead Redeemed · Sep 13, 2018

I'm going to be very generous and assume that this is just trolling, because if not then dude, breathe for a bit. Stop being selfish for your own desires and be happy for the huge amount of people that are ecstatic for her inclusion and the announcement of a new AC after waiting for so long. I'm not an Animal Crossing fan, never even played any of the games but I can at least recognize that it's a beloved series for millions even if my own wanted newcomers didn't get anything for now.

Hinata · Sep 13, 2018

Congrats to all Isabelle supporters! I wanted her in, but I never expected her to be her own unique character! This was a great reveal for sure~

Anomilus · Sep 13, 2018

Congrats guys! Trailer was adorable! Looking forward to see that adorableness in Smash.... and being Smashed.

zabimaru1000 · Sep 13, 2018

From the Sora thread to this one, congratulations!

I had no idea she would be a semi-clone other than an echo. I guess 1/3rd of my theory was right. Kapp'n did replace Isabelle as an assist trophy.

Looks like Shadow and Skull Kid are next on the suspect list...
