If you met Sakurai at the San Francisco tourney, what would you ask him?

[mister_subarashi]

For those who don't know, here's the rumor:
http://gonintendo.com/?p=35904

What would you ask the guy?

For me it would be: "What is the purpose of tripping? Besides giving players the chance to have their combos ruined without them being able to do anything to prevent it?"

 

[guest]

More BAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWing, yay.

 

[Nuvia]

You'd have to speak Japanese.

in b4 "punch him in the face"

 

[RedMage8BT]

OMG I WUV YOU UR GOD.

Then I would ask him where he got the idea for Kirby. Then I'd ask for his autograph. I'd wish him a good day and be on my way.

 

[Tristan_win]

I would ask him why he removed L canceling after having it in two copies in the game.

That or tripping/sliding.

 

[Icarus Descent]

There is nothing else to know.

 

[Kit Cal-N]

How do you think becoming a pillar of an industry at such a young age affect your personal life and growth?

 

[Fanewgie]

Tell him I'm a huge fan of Kirby and Smash, give him a link to my site with my Smash fanart, tell him it's a dream of mine to help develop a Smash game someday, and most importantly:

"What characters were set to be in Brawl, but were cut, and why were they?"

 

[scarecrowuknow]

"can we see YOU play brawl??" i wanna see if hes amazing or just sux at gaming... im curious XD

 

[frankisvital]

I'd probably ask him to play a match with me or a question about what he plans on doing next. I'll tell you one thing, I sure as hell wouldn't ***** about the game to him.

 

[Garuda]

I'd ask him something... if he spoke in English that is.

 

[GaryCXJk]

I'd ask "YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? YOU ENGLISH SPEAKING? NO? YES?"

For people offended by this, I'm Dutch myself, with an Asian background, so suck oompa loompa phallus.

 

[illphil]

I'd ask "YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? YOU ENGLISH SPEAKING? NO? YES?"

For people offended by this, I'm Dutch myself, with an Asian background, so suck oompa loompa phallus.

Oh?
The Super smash bros series has to be one of the worst, most inferior games made for the ever so horrible Nintendo consoles.

What? I have ssb background.

 

[Mad555]

Wheres Ganondorf's sword? If you think he so good without his sword Sakurai, lets see you play as him.

 

[Senshuu]

I'd hug him.
I don't need to ask about anything... except a hug.

I'd learn the most respectful way to say "May I hug you?" in Japanese, and then I'd do it (if he said yes).

 

[Lord Viper]

Wii would like to play.

 

[Surgo]

I would ask him for an autograph. He would then look at me, quite puzzled, because he doesn't understand English. We'd then go through a wacky hijinx that involves pantomiming the meaning and, at the end, someone would tell us that we were on candid camera.

 

[Kyune]

Hmm..... (laughs)

 

[Moon/Sun]

"I thoght you said no clones"
not really a question but thats the first thing I would say...
"Why Toon Link?"
"Why not Dark Samus?"
"Why no 3rd ThirdParty character?"
"Can I have a free Wii with a free copy of Brawl?"

 

[-Ran]

I'd direct my question at his translator. =p

"Sir, how do you feel about the industries chopping of the learning curve in all genres of gaming as well as reducing the ceiling of potential? Shouldn't the popularity of gaming influence the trend upwards, since you can assume that the collective knowledge of all players is increasing, instead of remaining stagnant?"

 

[Masque]

I'd hug him.
I don't need to ask about anything... except a hug.

I'd learn the most respectful way to say "May I hug you?" in Japanese, and then I'd do it (if he said yes).

HOUYOU O ONEGAISHIMASU = "May I have a hug, please?"

 

[Senshuu]

HOUYOU O ONEGAISHIMASU = "May I have a hug, please?"

You are awesome. *writes that down*

Hee... how would I ask him to sign my chest? *shot*

 

[KungLao]

"Why does the online mode suck ass?"

 

[Jael Irish]

How does it feel to make a video game that has lasted 6 years and is still going strong?

What was the purpose of tripping?

Just 2 questions.

 

[UtopiaXD]

Take off my live strong braclet and throw it at his face and yell "GENO WHIRL"!!!!!!!!! then head butt him in the stomach and walk away. (that part just for fun)

 

[UNKN{OWN}iXi]

Most Importantly:

Why was Mewtwo cut?!?!?!?!

 

[Vigilant Gambit]

I would ask him if there are any tricks in Brawl that aren't in the manual and won't be revealed on the dojo that we can look forward to discovering over the years (like wavedashing in Melee).

 

[iMichael]

He'd be looking at all of you like "wtf"...he doesn't speak English (maybe a little...but struggles)

With security being tight...I'd probably try and shake his hand, get an autograph and a picture.

 

[TK Wolf]

I'd ask for a photo-shoot with him pointing and shouting "YOU MUST RECOVER!"
Then I'd ask him to autograph it. :D

But really, I'd definitely ask for an autograph, that would be so awesome!

 

[Kirby M.D.]

(to the translator) Do you realize you(Sakurai) are the troll king of the Internet thanks to Japan Time?

 

[Bensei]

First, autograph, then asking about his Brawl code (if he plays it!), and maybe then about those freakin lucky 7 charas

 

[Firestorm88]

"What's a guy like you doing in a place like this?"

 

[Zenjamin]

definitly the tripping thing.
everything else could be asked via professional interviews or discovered via logic.


but why he put tripping in is one of those important things that I dont think he would answer unless directly asked.

 

[S623]

To sign my Wii-mote.

 

[Colenstien]

"Duuuuuuuude you wanna get stoned?"

It is San Francisco afterall.

 

[S623]

^Oops. I can't believe forgot about that!

 

[JhMS]

Ridley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
____________________
Nah,maybe ask about tripping and his opinion about the industry.

 

[RedKnight]

Me:"What was on your mind when you denied the Black Charizard model for Brawl?"

MS:"Well you see I was taking alot of drugs at the time and...well I just love a good prank!"

 

[ShOcKoLaTe]

Why not just include a competitive mode online were it could be 4 stock no items?

 

[Fatmanonice]

"Why was SMRPG denied any represntation what-so-ever despite how nearly every other third party Mario game was with at least stickers or music?"

I'd also ask him why the only thing Krystal got was a crappy cameo and why he didn't even think about asking Capcom to use Megaman.
