Masahiro Sakurai Reveals That Balancing Is Determined By Who He Hates The Least

[Big-Cat]

In the most recent edition of Famitsu Weekly, Super Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai spoke about game balance in his bimonthly column.He whines about how much he hates the characters he has chosen for the latest edition of Nintendo's grudge match game for infants and small children. He finally admits he is a terrible game designer.

"After three failures in a row, I just didn't think I could balance this game alone so I got Bandai Namco to do the work." said Sakurai.

Sakurai also revealed an additional detail regarding the balancing process. He revealed that there is one key person who decides all balancing decisions, and it comes from an unlikely source, the Wii Fit Trainer.

"During my lunch breaks where I can do whatever I want, I noticed that the Wii Fit Trainer, or Miss Fit as we like to call her, would often rally up the team in exercising together. It's thanks to her we have seen many positive improvements from Bowser's posture to improving facial expressions thanks to her facial exercises."

As for why he still hates her, "It's because she's white. *laughs*"

"As for why he still hates her, "It's because she's white."

My IRL reaction:

Although, truth be told, if Kamiya was making this game, I wouldn't put it past him to say something like this.
