    Our Fuzzy Neighbors: Further Confusion 2016 (Part 1)

    I looked in r/smashbrosmains and couldn't find any smashboards articles for 4 pages. Also if there are any tournaments I care about then I will see the stream of them. For match and mechanic analysis it's better to go directly to top players rather than having an article advertise and link...

    Our Fuzzy Neighbors: Further Confusion 2016 (Part 1)

    Most of the news posts on here now are advertisements. A little while back Reddit got subreddits for all the different smash bros characters. Time to immigrate?

    The translate button in chrome was a complete failure.

    I don't like making assumptions. So far the only credit in terms of Smash's competitive aspect is to HAL Labs. This means as of right now only HAL Labs can be credited as having something directly to do with the competitive side. Also for the film thing M. Night Shymalan and The Sixth Sense...

    Our Fuzzy Neighbors: Further Confusion 2016 (Part 1)

    I don't understand the drawings and animations. Really the only thing anthropomorphic animals should be for is comedy. Which many cartoons do well.

    *Could fall under the Game Designers job. Game designer and Game Director are general terms. Particular aspects of a game cannot be automatically attributed to a Game Designer or Game Director. Game Designer means he had something to do with the game design, but individual things must be...

    [Source Gaming] Is Sakurai a Liar?

    First of all, you don't understand why I need proof... that someone did something? Second of all if you went back earlier in the credits sequence other people are credited with designing the characters special moves, however no one is credited with their regular moves. Not convincing. As for the...

    And I said that he can prove me wrong if he does work on it, but so far I haven't been given tangible proof. What did your post accomplish?

    [Source Gaming] Is Sakurai a Liar?

    If you would kindly take a look at... the many numerous replies I have, I already stated that the AT's so far have no credits. Nowhere did I state that Sakurai explicitly did not develop the AT's. I said there was no proof he did. The game balance on the other hand has actual credits. Meaning...

    [Source Gaming] Is Sakurai a Liar?

    I'm not ignorant to that. I already adressed this. Nowhere would I be able to read who the AT's where attributed to, except supposedly this site. You are the one who tried to disprove my claim in the first place so the burden is on you to prove with evidence that he is credited with them. Then...

    Also here's the interview in question: http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/08/06/sakurai64/ Scroll down to the 'Hidden Elements' section. Note that nowhere within does he state that he developed the hardcore aspect of it, just that he was open to the game having a duality to it and thought it...

    [Source Gaming] Is Sakurai a Liar?

    Wrote that poorly. In the interview he said he was open to the idea of smash being a game that's easy to pick up but gets more deep as you play, but HAL Debug team was credited with the balance. A game director is someone who has a vision for a game and works together with a team to create it...

    Read again: Balance and AT falls under game design, but game design is not implicitly every single little piece of the game. It's a general term. HAL Debug team is credited with balance. No one is credited with the AT's. Re-read the previous two sentences one last time.
