Isabelle (Life & Death)

Isabelle (しずえ, Shizue) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Isabelle debuted in Animal Crossing: New Leaf as the assistant to the Mayor, eventually becoming one of the most popular characters in the series, now having become the official mascot of the Animal Crossing series. Isabelle's popularity has led to her making guest appearances in games such as Monster Hunter and Mario Kart 8, eventually joining the Super Smash Bros. series as a playable fighter in Ultimate, having been promoted from her appearance as an Assist Trophy in Smash 4. Unlike Ultimate and Galactic Battle, Isabelle's default design is now from the most recent installment of Animal Crossing, New Horizons.
Though Isabelle has no voice actor, she speaks completely in Anamalese rather than being mute as she was in Ultimate.
==How to Unlock==
Isabelle is available from the start of a new game and doesn't need to be unlocked.
==Moveset==
 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	Swings a toy hammer downward. This move is a single-hit jab with very low knockback.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	Swings a candy umbrella horizontally. Compared to Villager's, it launches at a slightly lower angle and higher knockback growth, but more ending lag.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	Swings a broom in an overhead arcing motion.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	Uproots some weeds. Compared to Villager's, this move's sweetspot deals slightly more damage, while the sourspot deals considerably lower damage. It also has marginally less ending lag than Villager's, but a shorter hitbox duration.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	Trips while holding a ceramic pot. Like Villager's, the pot itself is a projectile that will either break or bounce off the ground after hitting it. The hitbox on the pot disappears after bouncing off the ground. When used near a ledge, it will fall off and continue to have a hitbox. Compared to Villager's, the pot does not travel as far, but the move has faster startup and less ending lag.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Fires a party popper forward.
Up Smash 	N/A 	Blows her whistle, causing a do-not-enter sign to spring up from the ground in front of her. It has 2 hits that connect into each other.
Down Smash 	N/A 	Splashes a bucket of water in front of herself and then behind herself. Similar to Inkling's Slosher, but considerably faster and has less range. Sends opponents at a very low angle.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	Twirls around twice while holding pom-poms.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	Fires a pellet from a slingshot. Functions identically to Villager's.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Fires a pellet from a slingshot. Functions identically to Villager's.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	Swings a pair of white turnips upward. Due to swinging two turnips, hers is overall more consistent compared to Villager's.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	Swings a pair of white turnips downward. Like her up aerial, she will always swing two turnips, making it more consistent than Villager's.
Grab 	N/A 	Swings a net downward. Like Villager's, using it on an item will cause her to pocket it.
Pummel 	N/A 	Yanks the net backward.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	Throws the opponent with an overhead swing.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Turns around to throw the opponent with a horizontal swing.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Flips the net over and tosses the opponent upward.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Turns her net horizontally and slams it on the ground.
Neutral Special	Pocket 	Pockets projectiles and items, similar to Villager. After pocketing a projectile, using the neutral special input will produce and use the projectile. Using neutral special with a pocketed item will put the item in Isabelle's hand.
Side Special 	Fishing Rod 	Casts out a fishing rod. The distance is cast depends on whether or not it was inputted while flicking the stick. It can be left out for about 5 seconds before Isabelle will automatically begin to slowly reel it in. Pressing the special or attack button will automatically reel it in completely at any time. It will also reel in automatically if an item is grabbed. When an opponent is captured by the fishing rod, she reels them in and can throw the opponent in one of 4 directions. The forward, back and up variants can kill at high percents, while the down variant can combo until high percents. Much like a thrown item, the damage output for the throws is directly proportional to how fast the bobber is moving at the time of capturing the opponent. The fishing rod can also be used as a tether recovery and can also grab items. Unlike normal grabs, it cannot grab opponents through shields, even when reeled in. Another unique quirk is that it is unable to grab through moves that reflect or counter, and is even blocked by passive shields.
Up Special 	Balloon Trip 	Sits on a swing with two bunny-shaped balloons. Nearly identical to Villager's variant, and grants a lot of distance, though it travels a slightly shorter distance than Villager's. Pressing or holding the special button will cause Isabelle to rise. Pressing the attack button will cancel the move while propelling her slightly upwards. If canceled with the attack button, the next use will only have one balloon until landing on stage.
Down Special 	Lloid Trip 	Plants Lloid the Gyroid into the ground. When someone steps over him, or when the down special is inputted again, Lloid propels himself vertically, dragging the opponent with him. If nothing happens for 10 seconds, the trap will disappear. After taking 8%, not counting the 1v1 multiplier, he will explode, which will damage Isabelle if she is near the explosion.
Final Smash 	Dream Town Hall	When activated, Tom Nook, Timmy and Tommy appear and build a Town Hall, trapping opponents that get caught in their construction zone. Once the Town Hall is completed, Isabelle, Tom, Timmy and Tommy celebrate briefly before it explodes, causing high damage and knockback. While similar to Villager's Dream Home, it deals more damage and has both higher knockback and a faster final hit.

==Fighter Spirits==
Isabelle's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Isabelle in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
