How Unique is Isabelle in Smash?

[Godot]

I am on the boat of being upset to see her... but I should prob do the obligatory "what's Isabelle's moveset" thing.... siiiiigh let's go...

 

 

Neutral Special: Pocket, Identical to the villager's.  She grabs an item or projectile and puts it in her pocket, and can either keep it away from her rivals, or use it at double power.

 

 

Isabelle's Side Special is a Fishing Pole instead of a Llyod Rocket.  She is shown throwing it off stage and using it to grab people and launching them upwards.  Looks like an off stage tool.  I can see this move functioning as a tether recovery.

 

 

Down Special: Unlike the vilager who plants a tree, Isabelle plants a Llyod rocket that launches upwards and explodes.

 

 

Up Special or Recovery: Similar to Villagers, but instead of referencing balloon fight, she sits in a swing.

 

 

Forward Tilt: Isabelle smacks her foe with a piko piko hammer.

 

 

Forward Smash: Pulls out a party Popper and causes an explosion in front of herself.

 

 

Down Smash: Pulls out a water bucket and splashes it from side to side.

 

 

Up Tilt: Swings a Broomstick above her head in an arc.

 

 

Up Smash: Blows a Whistle and calls up a stop Sign.  Looks like a weaker version of what Palutena and Bayonetta have.

 

 

 

Dash Attack: Instead of a potted Plant, Isabelle trips over and drops a pot.  Probably has similar physics to Villager's where he can throw it off stage or platforms to use as a poke tool.

 

 

Neutral Air or Nair: Does a spin attack with Pom-Poms.  Can't tell if the attack functions like Villager's or Peach's.  Neither the less it's pretty simple.

 

 

Grab: We only see her perform her back throw I wouldn't be surprised if all of her throws were identical to the villager's.

 

 

Final Smash: Similar to villager's minus one difference.  She has Tom Nook build the town hall.

 

 

I apologize for the cynicism, I am not happy to see her being a unique character.... w/e hopefully the october reveal is someone more interesting.  We don't see her perform Jab, Down Tilt, Up Air, Dair, Fair, or Bair.  If she doesn't have Villager's Fair or Bair, she will be lesser then him in my opinion.  Fair, Bair, and Pocket are what makes the Villager a good character in my opinion.  Time will tell... so far I am just going to have to just get over the salt.

I think she's as unique to Villager as Richter is to Simon

I actually don't like her so much... I would have appreciated othe smash characters like Dry Bowser, GolisoGod, Sylux, and so on

Are you mad?  Did you read the topic title or actually go through my thread?  Her f-tilt, f-smash, down smash, up tilt, up smash, side B, and down b are entirely different.  Richter’s only difference to Simon are up b size and color of holy water.

I am not happy about Isabelle being her own character, but I honestly prefer her over Dry Bowser, Golisopod, and Slylux.

Dry Bowser isn’t a character and I would rather have a Dark Bowser Echo.

Inciniroar and Decidueye would be more interesting then golisopod.

and We have Ridley and Dark Samus, Slylux and Rundus aren’t entirely needed despite the fact that Rundus would probably play somewhat like Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat and that would be pretty rad.

To be honest, F-tilt looks the same as villager, but just with a different item. Same for downsmash. The side and down b are the only true differences, but also down b has its similarities. She is more unique than Richter, but less than Chrom in my opinion. I would have made her an echo honestly, her attacks have different properties but the basics are from Villager. However, if she has very different Fair and Bair she deserves her own slot as a character

 

Dark Bowser echo would be absolutely awesome, but I'm happy with less too (like dry bowser). Incineroar would be a nice character, but a bit too obvious while Decidueye is better for pokken than he is for smash. Golisopod would have a good set of moves. As for Sylux and Rundas... I'm just a HUGE metroid fan, I would love a cast with even 20 metroid characters ahahah

F-tilt looks nothing like Villager’s.  And down B is more like Snake’s old down smash on steroids then anything.  Down smash is also completely different besides animating the same.  All she shares with Villager, that we know of, is Pocket, Balloons, Final smash, and grab
