## Voice Actor

### English

Darcy Maguire-Wheelahan

**Isaac** (アイザック, *Aizakku*) is a playable newcomer in *Super Smash Bros. Switch*. He used to be an Assist Trophy in *Super Smash Bros. Brawl*, however, due to his popularity and importance during the Game Boy Advance's lifespan, he was included in the game. He is voiced by Darcy Maguire-Wheelahan in all versions.

Isaac, design-wise, is based on his appearance as of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He also takes design cues from his son, Matthew.

## Attributes

Isaac is a unqiue character compared to the rest of the cast. He's a somewhat tall heavy-weight character with decent speed, and great traction. This allows Isaac to be able to move around with ease. This is great for his overall punish game. Most of Isaac's toolkit requires Isaac to attack in ways that will bait and punish his opponent into his attacks, often finishing up with powerful KO moves. Isaac also has a good neutral, with many attacks being great for spacing.

However, his heavy weight allows him to easily be combo'd. If he uses Gaia in a wrong situation, it can mean a harsh situation against characters who like small spaces, like Pichu, or Fox. Some of his moves, notably his up smash, forward smash and neutral special have considerable lag and should be used with caution. Lastly, due to his relatively slow speed he's easy to camp out, giving him poor matchups against characters like Mega Man, Link and Samus.

## Trophies

* Isaac is a Venus psynergy adept, which means he is an earth-related magic user. Beginning his journey at the mysterious and powerful Sol Sanctum, located inside the volcano Mt. Aleph, Isaac and his party travel across the land of Weyard to thwart the evil-doers Saturos and Menardi, and reclaim the elemental jewels which could be used to destroy Weyard. In his travels, he is joined by the Mars (fire) adept Garet, the Jupiter (wind) adept Ivan, and the Mercury (water) adept Mia, as well as many djinn, elemental creatures that in battle boost stats, can be used to attack or defend, and allow for summons (more on that below), among other abilities.
