I Met Sakurai!

[Norm]

thats pretty good way to go buddy always fun to meet people who have done great things.

 

[Anth0ny]

Sounded like an awesome experience.

 

[S0crat3s]

Pics or didn't happen...:D

Seriously, what was he like? Did he (laughs) alot? The only things I know about him are from the "Iwata Asks" thing...:/

 

[Kirin]

Sounds awesome. I would have been extremely nervous too. ><

 

[SothE700k]

That's awesome! Just your luck to meet the father of Smash huh?

And PLEASE wash your hands lol

 

[sugarpoultry]

What a privilege. Should have asked him to put Krystal in and hand him a $20.

 

[sprittles]

ya, nothing more to ask him about King k. Rool lol, but yeah he just seemed like too nice of a person to quistion him lol

 

[Banana_Dragon]

Awesome!
I was expecting a lame joke thread but this sounds very genuine... I'm putting the "pics or it didn't happen" thing aside for this one!

Really! Lucky you! I wish I would've been you!

BTW, Kirby in japanese is "Kaabi" and well, I guess the pronounciation isn't too far off

You sir are a lucky man!

I wonder if Sakurai and other Japanese game developers know how much they get idolized over here? Its interesting to speculate because of the language barrier, what exactly their perception of the American audience is.

One day I hope to meet him.

I'm sure Sakuri knows how its pronounced in English.

Probally what would happen if like "Gearge Lucas" went to Japan, I guess people just do not know how popular they are.

Your so lucky, great story though

It's funny how most of the people who replied to this thread are envying the OP because they didn't get to "meet Sakurai", when they've been guilty of reprimanding him for some of the most trivial things in the game that they don't like.

Irony~


That's pretty cool though, that you got to meet him.

 

[BleachMan!]

so much for "pushing Sakurai off a bridge while saying YOU MUST RECOVER!" although as an afterthought, I may have jumped of myself to ask for an autograph >_>

 

[Biggum300]

You AWESOME!!I wish I was there and met my heros.
