He is full of surprises, and the fact Grey Fox appears in the game alongside mario and sonic is unexpected (pre brawl updates) the quote "You never know what might happen in this world" refers to the FUTURE. Of course its all on the way you say it. I'm not looking THAT much into it, cause I can easily say any surprising update could match this quote, but surprising updates are a given.
False sense of security? I think the quote provides security, but not false. Are you trying to say no new exciting characters and franchises are going to be introduced? Cause if you do indeed believe they are going to, then my interpretation of the quote is in no way false.
You're interpretation of "anything can happen" is that ATs will be playable, even though he already stated that they aren't.
So, yes, your interpretation is false. And in what way is this quote providing security? If anything, it provides mysteries, though the mysteries surrounding ATs and their playability have long since been lifted.
When I said "false sense of security", I meant giving it to yourself based on mixing and isolating quotes and applying them to just "anything" just to raise your hopes up and feeling secure that something like "playable ATs" will happen, when they never will.
That's a false sense of security...next time read the entire thing and learn some reading-comprehension skills (usually taught in 1st grade through 12th). You don't seem to be comprehending neither my post nor Sakurai's Dojo updates...
I never said anything about the quotes themselves being "false sense of security"...because that makes no sense whatsoever.
and as far as this: as you said, "the quote "You never know what might happen in this world" refers to the FUTURE."
Yeah, you're right...anything new can be introduced, but don't fool yourself into believing that ATs are suddenly now playable because he said, "You never know what might happen in this world," when he was directly describing the scenario that Gray Fox is reappearing on the Wii alongside Mario and Sonic.
Hmmm..oh I don't know...maybe someone with some common sense would apply that "anything can happen" quote with some logic and see that he means that anyone can appear in Brawl. Appear. As in either playable or not.
Get off it, get over it, and try to think a little harder about your theories before you post a thread next time. As you can see, playable ATs have already been debunked before anyone began to think about it. Check the Dojo. Sakurai says it himself.
