Talk:Isabelle (SSBU)

Speculative Information

If SmashWiki isn't speculative, then I don't think the article should talk about Isabelle's side and down Smash being those until we have actual confirmation. Arqade (Talk) 19:40, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Agreed. Serpent  King 19:42, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Should I edit it out then? Arqade (Talk) 19:43, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

No need to remove it entirely, just leave it ambiguous as to what moves they are. Serpent  King

Ok Arqade (Talk)

Bug Net

She grabs with the fishing rod, not the bug net. Who says the bug net can't her side special? I don't even think we say what moves any of them are, as her "Up Smash" could easily be her up tilt. 98.116.134.108 21:51, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Her character video on the website shows her using the bug net as her grab. There may be something going on here that we don't know the specifics of, so it would be best not to specify. However, we know that the stop sign is her up smash because we see the "sparkling" visual effect that indicates it as a smash attack; same with the bucket of water, which is likely a down smash since it covers both sides. DryKirby64 (talk) 22:04, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

She has some similarities with Villager, who uses a bug net for a grab, so it's implied that Isabelle's grab is also the bug net. I think it's safe to say that that's her grab. SugarCookie420 (talk) 22:06, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Smash attacks

As I pointed to earlier, smash attacks have a special visual indicator in Ultimate (a blue sparkle that appears on the character), and since we've seen this for Isabelle's party popper, stop sign, and bucket attacks, these are definitely her smash attacks. If it's okay, I'd like to indicate them as such, even if we don't know for certain what direction they correspond to. DryKirby64 (talk) 22:19, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Sounds good. I didn't know that initially! Arqade (Talk) 23:04, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Transition from Assist Trophy to playable character

Why is this not notable enough to be included? Unless a large handful of Assist Trophies wound up making the transition, I could understand that. But that isn't the case, she's only the third one to do so. 15DollarsWentSouth 23:48, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

I agree, it should be mentioned that she was a former assist. Isabelle is best girl (other than Wii Fit). 50.195.32.165 14:30, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

Agree completely. Why is that Assist Trophy distinction not considered notable but the Mii Costume thing is? It seems like the AT role is much more prominent and interesting a transition, compared to optional DLC cosmetic skins. Data (talk) 15:16, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

The argument is that the trivia as originally phrased was not specific to Smash Ultimate because it specified Little Mac made the transition as well. It sounded a little misleading because Little Mac made the transition in SSB4, not Ultimate. Consequently, this piece of trivia was moved to her general character page.Nintendo101 (talk) 15:25, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

So... just link to SSB4 Little Mac in the trivia piece. Easy. --Luigifan18 (talk) 16:33, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

That solves nothing. Nintendo101 (talk) 18:33, 14 September 2018 (EDT)

Animal Crossing characters

The trivia section says "Her inclusion also makes Animal Crossing the only franchise introduced in Smash 4 to feature multiple playable characters", but Animal Crossing wasn't introduced in Smash 4 - it was actually introduced in Brawl, albeit with only the Smashville stage. I think that should be fixed. Mudd (talk) 21:10, 16 September 2018 (EDT)

Add to Trivia=

Isabelle is the first, and so far only character the end a Direct for Smash Ultimate to not be a villain, as Ridley and K. Rool were the previous ones to finish off with. Should this be added to the trivia for her? --Solgalillie (talk) 13:36, 18 September 2018 (EDT)

No, as that counts as both volatile information and complexity. Please read SW:TRIVIA. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the internets go! :3 17:51, 18 September 2018 (EDT)

Mascot of the Animal Crossing franchise?

She only appeared in one main series game.98.113.121.151 15:07, 28 September 2018 (EDT)

It doesn’t matter how many games she has appeared in because “mascot status” is determined by how the series is marketed, not the games themselves. Her face is everywhere with regards to any promotion pertaining to Animal Crossing. She’s even a playable character in Mario Kart 8. Nintendo101 (talk) 15:14, 28 September 2018 (EDT)

Taunt based on complete emote

What complete emote? There isn't any emote called that in Animal Crossing. After watching the treehouse, it seems that the taunt is more similar to Greetings. 98.116.184.165 23:11, 2 November 2018 (EDT)

The Complete emote is one of a few introduced in Happy Home Designer, and hasn't been in a mainline AC game yet. Zyrac(talk•contribs) 10:13, 3 November 2018 (EDT)

Should we have a “Differences from Villager” section?

While I’m aware that Isabelle is on the upper end of the semi-clone spectrum, since she’s a newcomer, I feel like it might be important to highlight what’s different about her. I already have a base template commented out —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.181.102.188 (talk • contribs) 19:11, January 16, 2019‎

Since both Lucas and Wolf in Brawl, Smash 4, and Ultimate did not get a "Difference from xxx" section, I don't think Isabelle should, either. SugarCookie420 (talk) 19:26, 16 January 2019 (EST)
