Isabelle Amiibo

Isabelle is Animal Crossing's beloved-secretary NPC, and her Smash Ultimate inclusion (2018) gave Animal Crossing a second roster slot beyond Villager. The Animal Crossing fanbase celebrated the inclusion because Isabelle's wholesome-secretary-and-friend character archetype was being elevated to playable-fighter status. The Smash-line Isabelle figure is distinct from the Animal-Crossing-line Isabelle Summer/Winter figures.

In Smash Ultimate her FP trains with the Villager-derivative Animal-Crossing-tool moveset: Pocket forward-special, Lloid Trap side-special, Balloon Trip up-special-recovery, Fishing Rod down-special-tether-grab. The trap-and-tether mechanic gives her distinctive ranged-coverage.

She pairs with Villager, the Animal Crossing-line figures, and the wholesome-village-life-meets-fighting-game cluster.
