I don't think the majority of Smash players (ie casual players) have any idea who Isaac is. Golden Sun's not exactly an obscure franchise, but it's dying and never had the iconism of plenty of other games out there. Even if he has niche popularity in the smash community, I genuinely doubt that was enough to boost him in the ballot, nor do I think he would provide the monetary returns Nintendo want.
I really don't think the smash ballot is going to be K. Rool or anything like that that all of the smash fans think are a "shoe-in" because they're the most popular in the smash fanbase. You have to remember that this poll was advertised directly by Nintendo on an official direct as well as their official site for smash, meaning it's going to reach the less devoted fans unlike the past fanmade polls.
