And Sora uses a key. Isaac only uses his sword 4 times, which is like 18% of his moveset. What exactly are the requirements for a character to be considered a swordfighter?

Sora's key is a sword. It is legit a sword in every way but name. And no, Dee isn't a sword fighter. Neither is Krystal. Those weapons have different hitboxes and different properties.

there are no true requirements from what i know.
imo if a character wields a sword and uses their sword for the majority of their moves, they're considered a swordfighter.

and Sora's key is basically a sword.

well, duh
it's a keyblade after all

That would kinda rule out Isaac because he very rarely uses it.

Y'know, for a Smash game, SSF2 has a distinct lack of Fire Emblem characters. I expect we'll at least get one more.

exactly.
he's not designed to be swordfighter.
the devs designed isaac to be a "versatile fighter" that should not be overly relying on sword-based attacks, in fact.

Roy is pretty much guaranteed

bass as a megaman semi clone

"Hey bro, check out my sword"



Jokes aside, what do you think about this guy filling the swordfighter quota?

I'm down

Give him the Techs that he uses in his own game and we cool. Also instead of Luminaire (keep that for down smash or down-b or something), make his Final Smash be trapping opponents in a Gate and having all the other characters attack the opponent with him like Megaman's FS, ending with a ram by Epoch.

or you could make his FS one of the triple techs.

That would cause some people to be left out if 2 other characters showed up instead of their favorite ones. Might as well have em all.

or you could have a mechanic where he can switch out party members for down-b to give him different moves for his other specials, and the last two party members used would be who would do the triple tech with Crono.
