Well the tradition of reveals is reactions what are you reactions to Isabelle’s confirmed playable and luigified and not a echo

Here’s Etika’s reaction


It’s another Mewtwo in smash 4 level reaction

And as for my reaction I was thrilled she’s not a echo

My reaction was a wide grin as I immediately hopped over to Smashboards to watch the Isabelle support thread explode in delight. Seriously, I'm just happy for whoever gets in.

Indifference :/ Like Daisy

Except unlike Daisy indifference, I actually am happy for the Isabelle fans. She's cute in action.

Well, I admittedly was a bit disappointed it wasn’t another heavy hitter like Issac or Geno, I do think it makes perfect sense in retrospect. I’m incredibly happy for her fans, and I know that there’s still a ton more in the future yet to come.

And those of you actively complaining about her and making her supporters feel bad; really? We are getting the ULTIMATE smash game, and you act like the world is over because you didn’t get the exact character you were hoping for? Get off your high horse and get over yourself, just accept that she is still a MASSIVELY popular character and that her inclusion makes perfect sense. Thank you.

"...is this Smash or Animal Crossing?" I asked myself.

Then when Isabelle mentioned Smash, "Probably Smash."

Then when the letter came, "Almost definitely Smash!"

I was pleasantly surprised by Isabelle's inclusion.

I don't want to hate on Etika because he's a good guy and I like him, but he was totally acting in this video. He's punching the clock at this point: why was he going insane and then a second later he's like "I'm not hype hype"; dude was just screaming in the corner.

I'm pretty excited that Isabelle is playable Smash now, but it's not as a huge a deal or as earth-shattering as Ridley and King K. Rool getting into the game as playable fighters. Needless to say, I'm glad she's in regardless.

May as well be honest.

She disappointed me. They didn't reveal her very well, she felt to much like villager which is why I'll argue that she is a semi-clone especially when you compare her to other Ultimate unique fighters reveals that got my heart racing. The mail reveal was done with villager.

Her move set feels disappointing. I haven't played an AC game but I am sure there is more potential in there for a move set.

I recently just got back into Animal Crossing (played Wild World years ago; was addicted) a couple of months ago while I had a kidney stone, and have started to grow fond of Isabelle as a character; tonight was the first time I've gotten to watch one of these directs live, and as soon as the Animal Crossing segment at the end started, I knew what it was and I was pretty happy! It made my day, especially since it's been kind of meh waiting around for Hurricane Florence to hit. I didn't play as Villager much in Smash 4, but I'm excited to potentially look into Isabelle as the first Smash Ultimate newcomer that I feel like I have a personal connection with :)

4 minutes left in the Direct... "whatever happens next is the Smash character". Isabelle appears: immediately know she's the next newcomer. Indifferent/disappointed. She was the most likely newcomer at this point; we had to get her out of the way: now it's Shadow, Skull Kid, Isaac and Karate Joe.

The thing that absolutely astounds me is the people who didn't know the second she appeared on screen that she was the next newcomer.

The reveal was very anticlimactic, whether you wanted her or not.

As an Animal Crossing fan, I am very happy! Isabelle as a new playable fighter in Smash AND an announcement of a new Animal Crossing game for the Switch!!!

I did support Isabelle but not as active as I am with Meowth and Toad... but I am still very happy, especially since she is NOT an Echo Fighter.

Now we need to get Tom Nook in the next Smash! But we need to demand Sakurai to change Villager's and Isabelle's Final Smashes so Tom Nook can get in as a playable fighter!

The start of the casual dominance left me with a... whatever deal. I couldn't bring myself to care, as there wasn't a single soul who didn't see her coming (echo or not). The only reason anybody thought she'd be an Echo was because they didn't want to admit she could be unique since it "takes a slot", or more accurately takes dev time and resources away from uniques aside from her in spite of her deserving it. I just didn't care because I don't do simulation games and Animal Crossing isn't my cup of tea.

I got flak for this in another thread, but Tom Nook appearing at the end of the trailer is very similar to how Dark Pit was teased in Palutena's, and even G&W in Pac-Man's. Probably an Echo.

Yeah, I had a feeling they wanted to get her out there and out of the way to make room for Shadow, Isaac, Karate Joe and Skull Kid, which explains why her reveal was a bit anticlimatic.

Happy for Isabelle fans, but a bit saddened because it felt like everything was leading up to a square rep with all the ff announcements. Heart almost skipped a beat as more and more ff games were showing up, I thought “this is it, they’re gonna reveal geno!” And then we get Isabelle...

You get a medal for that post:



I don't agree she deserves it though; just because you're popular doesn't mean you have to be thrown in Smash, when you're more of a pacifist than a fighter.

Probably but I am kinda hoping Tom Nook would be unique character... or at least a semi-clone like Isabelle is. He's a tanooki so I was hoping for Tom Nook to be based on Tanooki Mario from Super Mario Bros. 3... swinging his tail and dropping gyroid statues on his opponents.

I knew immediately and was not disappointed at all

And why are K. Rool and Ridley in Smash?
Because they are both iconic villains from criminally underrepresented major Nintendo franchises, perhaps?

I will admit my indifference toward Isabelle made my opinion bias, but those were characters who were notable for fighting, in a fighting game.

I was fully expecting her so I wasn't surprised, but I was surprised that she is a unique fighter. Which is good because she looks more fun than Villager to me, especially the gyroid mine and the fishing rod.

While they were in a game that involves fighting, a good chunk of fighters also don't have fighting involved in their respective games or appearances.

R.O.B. is just a peripheral, Duck Hunt, while a 'shooter' the characters we have don't actually do any fighting, Wii Fit is just an exercise game, Dr. Mario is a puzzle game, and Villager himself comes from the same game Isabelle does with no combat.

Plus, Ridley and K. Rool would've never been playable if it weren't for popularity. Isabelle is no exception, and she's now the face of Animal Crossing, so it's only logical to include her in Smash.

I agree with everything you said; I never said I agreed with Sakurai's decisions.

It certainly revealed how many people in the Smash community really sleep on how Animal Crossing is kind of a big ****ing deal.

Like, it's probably Big 4 Nintendo IP status. Geez people.

My honest reaction

I do think she probably had the worst character trailer though. It dragged on for so long.

Yeah. It's crazy. Most people are super happy about her at least and appeals a lot to women and japanese audiences as well!

I got pretty hyped myself.

Indifference, but after the Belmonts and K. Rool, I can't complain.

I basically just did a PogChamp, which I normally do. I've never been one to scream during a reaction.

And at least for me, it was brutally obvious what was going on; like did people not remember Villager got an envelope as well.

I was kind of dying inside as I was watching it; I mean, we had this thing delayed a week and I got myself all hyped for a "ballot character", but it was obvious she was going to be in anyway, so she had to be revealed at some point.

She robbed us of what could have been an amazing Direct.


it pained me to find out that was the last character reveal and Samurai said that all characters would be revealed before launch. Nintendo deserves a break from the Directs. They will likely take that break. No Shadow. No Scorpion. Not even Geno.

That kinda stinks. Ridley and Simon are the only new characters I care about. It could've been way more.

You know this isn't the last character, right?

I was actually super excited upon realizing she was the focus of the trailer and was not an Echo, I look forward to player her in ultimate.
