I'll discuss Isaac. As far as I know, Robin uses fire, lightning, wind and darkness magic (of which they have small amounts of) while Isaac has a variety of Venus (Earth) and Utility Psynergy.

Using Venus Psynergy he has access to things including (but not limited to) plants (vines, bamboo and thorns), earthquakes, stones (lstalagmites, pillars and falling rocks) and giant swords while Utility Psynergy is less combative magic that controls the environment (Move, Lift, Halt). Plenty of options for standard attacks without resorting to the sword. You've also got an easy choice for Final Smash with the Judgment Summon (though the other Summons could work too).

I admit that the sword is an unfortunate addition, but if there's more focus on the magic than the sword then I think he could be more interesting. Less of a swordsman with magic and more of an Earth/Plantbender with a sword.

Of course they could easily screw it up by focusing on the sword but with the additions of content that fans have wanted, I'm hoping they know better than to add yet another swordfighter played straight, even with the addition of Chrom.
