Hello Smash Fans! this is Masahiro Sakurai, creator of Smash Bros.

[Johnknight1]

I just noticed I live 15 minute drive away from Johnknight1 XD. It's like the next city in the opposite direction from my house meaning I have to go across my city to go on a freeway to get to Livermore on the next exit. NORCAL FTW!!! Yes, I'm that bored.

Now getting on topic, I doubt the real Sakurai would just go on an English forum and spoil things he didn't even update with on the actual site. He doesn't know enough English to begin with @_@. He would need a translator, and I doubt he will hire a translator just to translate what he has to say on any forum.

Pleasanton, maybe=??? If it's Pleasanton, that makes 2 people I know on here from Pleasanton. NOR CAL FTW! Lol, I represent both Nor and So CAL!

I'm only beliving this guy if Captain Planet gets confirmed, one of his moves is the Donkey Kong rap, and his final smash is anti-enviornmental!



edit: zomg...the update...it's, it's it's, it's, f** yes! It's




















The Subspace Army! O, you got mindgamed!

 

[Masahiro Sakurai]

You don’t have time to ponder such questions, as i have just grabbed a Smash Ball.

 

[bluethree]

You realize that Japanese people use family names first, right?

You woulda been slightly more believable if you went by Sakurai Masahiro

 

[Masahiro Sakurai]

the update...it's, it's it's, it's...

 

[Aeramis]

Website updated! Diddy Kong newcomer!

 

[Rang Flash]

Maybe it really IS Sakurai that posted above us. I mean, look at how he predicted when it would update.

Anyways, Diddy Kong rocks!

 

[GoldenS1104]

This topic = WIN

LMFAO.

As excited as I am, it's kinda funny that the first time I'm hearing about this update is not on the dojo itself. >_< At first I thought you were joking until I checked the site.

Edit: Woops, I just realized I double posted, sorry about that.

 

[Masahiro Sakurai]

screenshots fail to truly capture the way he moves....

 

[Caael]

Post a movie then.

 

[2nd Stamp]

You fail in Masahiro's epic "Brawl talk".

 

[JTB]

Moveset revealed tomorrow night maybe?

 

[blueriku]

Everyone Just got 4 stocked by MR sakurai i think maybe .......



......lyn for brawl

 

[Megachuk]

about that beta...

 

[shadenexus18]

I have come bearing good news!

First off, I would like to report that we have recieved SEGA's permission to use Sonic. In fact, they were ecstatic to the whole idea!

Speaking of 3rd party characters, I have finalized the 3rd party character amount as 4.

The reason for this number is so the roster will be even. Good, yes?

Now, as for characters... I don't like to spoil.

I will, however, confirm to you the roster you will have when you first purchase Brawl.

Mario
Peach
Bowser
Link
Zelda(Can transform into Shiek)
Kirby
Meta-Knight
Pikachu
Pokemon Trainer
Fox
Falco
Samus(Can transform into Zero Suit form)
Donkey Kong
Yoshi
Wario
Pit
Marth
Ike
Ness
Captain Falcon
Ice Climbers
Diddy Kong

Well, that's quite a few fighters to start with, isn't it?

Yes, 22 in total. It's quite a sight to see, I assure you.

You'll have to unlock the other 18 yourself, I'm afraid.

Also, I assure you that Snake will be the only unlockable character to get a profile before Brawl's launch. Jigglypuff will get her profile on December 3rd. That is all I will tell you, concernign characters.

Remember that update about name that I made back in June? Well, I'd like to assure you that the ability to download your personal settings to your wiimote has already been programmed. I am very glad we could do this.

One final statement before I get back to work, this one should interest you quite well.

We, the musicians and I, have discussed it for long periods of time, but we have decided to include the ability to include your own music in Brawl utilixing your SD Card.

I assure you, the musicians will not be insulted by your decisions.

Well, that is all I have to say for now. I wish you all farewell. Who knows, maybe we'll duke it out online?

This guy......is he really Sakurai sama? I dunno, I so doubt it. I'm gullible, but I'm not that gullible!

ill have to agree, first captain olimar, then changed to diddy hmm.... that a little wierd. The only way the that we could know if this is the real sakurai is if he mentions us on smash dojo, if that is proven then looks like his fourm rank will go from smash noob to like smash master creator or something.

 

[Empy]

Omg, guys, how can you doubt this even a second? It's a joke thread, he even says he won't reveal any of the unlockables and if you go the the smash bros dojo you can see the "challenger approaching" right there.

Have to say, I did lol at this.

Looks like someone has done there homework!! HUURAH!!

Real Sakurai sama or not, he's certainly spiced things up round here!

 

[Aeramis]

Fake Sakurai FTL! Yes, he did which captain olimar to diddy kong with editing and had no clue it was diddy kong for the update or even when the update was going to happen. I can say for 100% sure (instead of 99.9%) now he is NOT the real Sakurai to anyone still unsure. Fake Sakurai is getting kicks out of this.
Epic FAIL! No mindgames for you, sir.

 

[Johnknight1]

pwned, and Diddy Kong is wat I'm talking about!

 

[Xerroo]

Fake or not, he's doing an excellent job of Sakurai. But it needs quotes.

Sakurai. Throw in a "This guy needs to calm down" here and there.

 

[KernelColonel]

Not only did "Sakurai" edit Captain Olimar to Diddy Kong, he edited out the total Smurfidge that McFox laid on him with the Atlantan IP address.

IT'S OVER.

 

[shadenexus18]

It's only a matter of time before someone immulates Shigeru Miyamoto on Smash World Forums....

[Takeshi245]

This thread fails miserably.

 

[Zook]

No, this guy lies! I am Sakurai! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!

 

[Kashimaru]

Lol, fake but still nice!

 

[Mky762]

this thread is amazing,we must keep it going as long as we can btw good find McFox

 

[Pluvia's other account]

McFox, you need to put that Atlanta thing back up!

And post how he changed Captain Olmair to Diddy Kong!

 

[heety9]

Ummmmm...WTF?

 

[Masahiro Sakurai]

Allow me to explain.

You see... I am not that secure with letting out secret characters.

I'm sorry! I really am!

Plus, why would I spoil the update that was happening in a few hours in Japan Time?

At one point, Diddy Kong was considered becoming an unlockable. So you could say it was a last minute decision.

So yes, Olimar is now a secret character, and Diddy is now a starter.

Everyone makes mistakes, I just hope you can accept mine!

I suppose I can tell you this much: No two fighters will be the same this time around.
Sure, I accidentally made clones in melee... but you can't blame me for that. Nintendo was forcing me to get Melee for launch.
If they had given me more time, it would have been released by Summer 2002, without any clones at all. If I have time later on, I'll elaborate on what Falco's moveset could have been.

And with that said, that is the last comment I can make before I have to rest for tomorrow; It's almost 12:30 AM!

Good night Smash fans.

But,

I don't think it's that easy to change Diddy in one night, without ramifications. Especially at this late stage.

And why are you from Atlanta?

Why don't we install a new rule stating that anyone claiming to have "Inside information" and other such secrets shall be instantly banned if they fail to provide CREDIBLE evidence and RELIABLE proof of such claim. Otherwise this forum will get nut jobs like MR Sakurai every other week claiming to know this and that.

Not that these encounters aren't amusing, but they are a rather excelent waste of space and time. Oh yeah, and it's afternoon over here dumb****.

Even though I agree completely with you, I need to point out:

It's 12:19 am on Thursday 23rd of August right now.

There's no accounting for local forecasts on a global forum so it seems. .

Pardon?

 

[Speachami]

Pardon?

It's 11:30AM here, hence my statement. Don't exhaust too much energy in my rebuttal, the point in basics was moot anyways.
