One player who changed the game of smash exponentially was Isai. Isai is a professional smash 64 player and still remains the best smash 64 player of all time. He has had that title ever since 1999. However, for about 4 years he played professional Melee also. When he played professional melee, he played one character that no other players played at the time. This character was the wiled one Captain Falcon. Captain Falcon was not played commonly in 2002-2006 mainly because of his speed is difficult to control and his recover is easily gimped. However, if played right Captain Falcon has the potential to be one of the funnest and strongest characters in the entire game.

Isai took a character no one thought was that great and turned it into a machine that could destroy. Isai was trained by The King of Smash and teamed with him in tournaments. They would soon be known as the strongest team in Super Smash Brothers Melee History. Their team of captain falcon and Marth went undefeated until Isai retired in 2007.

It always seemed that Isai could turn up the jets when he wanted to play well, but it seemed like he never wanted to try at SSBM. He really only tried in SSBM when he played teams, probably because he didn't want to let down his partner. Isai was 7th best in the world at SSBM when he retired from it in 2007. He was asked why and he just replied
"It just wasn't fun anymore". Although he gave up on melee Isai still plays smash 64 and still states that it is his favourite smash game. The reason I think Isai is one of the Smash Brothers is because he completely changed the meta in teams, proved to people that captain falcon is a good character, and is still the best in the world at smash 64.
