Why She Rocks

 * 1) She is not just a popular character in the Animal Crossing series. She is actually THE face of the Animal Crossing series (since New Leaf), next to the Villager.
 * 2) She has an appealing design choice. Especially in her green summer clothing which is her primary appearance.
 * 3) Like Little Mac and Dark Samus, she is a playable fighter in Smash who was previously an Assist Trophy.
 * 4) She actually took people by surprise when she appeared in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate. People thought she was going to be an echo fighter, but ended up as a semi clone. Similar to Falco and Dr. Mario.
 * 5) She speaks with her emotions, though she doesn't speak regular English, she has a very wide variety of emotes that express her feelings.
 * 6) She is the main character in Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival.
 * 7) Her official artwork in Super Smash Brothers Ultimate makes her look like a model walking on the Catwalk. Making the second memorable newcomer artwork next to King K. Rool.
 * 8) She pretty much steals the spotlight in her debut appearance.
 * 9) She's the first character in Animal Crossing to be canonically LGBTQ+.

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Isabelle were one of the worst fighters in Smash Bros Ultimate, Their attacks were horrible, their edge protection is not good, their damage output is very low, and they do not do major attacks.
