Sakurai-san comes here to post on your forum, and THIS is how you repay him?

You must fit into the definition of ignorant.

The guy who posted that post? I can confirm to you that it is the real Sakurai.

Why?

Easy.

Over the weekend, Sakurai decided to take a trip to georgia(I honestly don't know why).
While walking outside one day, he spotted me using my labtop. When he came close to me, I didn't recognize him at first. He gave me a kurt hello in japanese, then I recognized his face. I was like "Are you Masahiro Sakurai?". It looked like the only thing he could understand was his name, which is understandable. So yeah, after all that was over and done with, an idea popped in my head, "What if I help him type in English? Why, if I did that... I'd be famous! Or, well, he'd be famous... I don't know." So I asked himt os it(I used hand gestures, plus it seemed like he udnerstodd what I said). I decided to show him gameFAQs, which I explained to him in notepad using japanese characters(I found a reliable translator). He then attempted to write in a full sentence, which turned out succesful. After a few hours of it, he got used to it. I have to admit, he can adapt to something quite well, he must've been a good listener in school.

So from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon, I helped him to type in english so he could offer some extra wisdom to people if he felt like it. In Notepad, he told me in English that he is willing to offer more technical information about the game through a popular smash forum. I almost interrupted saying that GameFAQs might have not been the best place, but then I decided not to bother.

Yes, the truth is out... I made the topic here. Teh topic on gameFAQs, however was done by him. I swear.

But I admit, right here and now, that I made the topic ON HERE, and ALL replies. I apologize.

However, I E-mailed Sakurai this information.(Yesterday around the time the Diddy Update occured, I couldn't sleep)He has decided to post any information on this forum instead of GameFAQs. IIRC, it had something to do with editing powers, as he can change his mind in a snap.

I hope this clears up any and all confusion you guys may have... And yes, I realize the 3rd statement might confuse some. I'll say it again, the GAMEFAQS post was real, the one on here was fake. I aologize for any grammar mistakes, I am a fast typer... so forgive me.

And with that said, I have made an account on Smash World. WTF

I am ashamed of myself it was in fact the real Sakurai. *sulks and sobs*

Man, I hate guilt trips....

So the whole "pretend to be Sakurai" thing, despite his best efforts, failed miserably. So now to plan B, "pretend to have become personal friends with Sakurai." Also doomed to fail miserably.

He may be a Smash Noob but he does have some sort of logic in what he said. Somebody is just not amused in the least!

This statement confounds ChaoticTH.

I can't answer your question about Ridley, because unlockable characters won't be revealed until after release. You never know, he might change his mind.

I actually thought Diddy would be unlockable...

And for the love of christ, don't wish ****ation upon your lord. :/

Edit: Here is the topic - http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=928518&topic=37686399

Mind you this was hours before the diddy update. I don't know what went wrong there.

It seems like he changes his mind quite often... and suddenly.

Why would he be walking down a street in Georgia, walk up to some random guy (boy probably), say hello, get taught a bit of english by him, then tell him everything about his upcoming game, which happens to be one of the most anticipated of all time?

"It looked like the only thing he could understand was his name."
"He then attempted to write in a full sentence, which turned out succesful. After a few hours of it, he got used to it. I have to admit, he can adapt to something quite well, he must've been a good listener in school."

Why do you think he's a complete idiot?

1.) He's not stupid, he's just not used to English.

2.) He's not a recluse, why can't he say hi to someone to be nice? Lots of people do it. So all of a sudden Sakurai is not allowed to greet people? Whatever happened to Free Will? :laugh:

3.) He didn't tell me everything about his incoming game. I just helpe dhim to type in English.

4.) I am a MAN, not a boy. :dizzy:

If you think this guy is trying to sound authentic, he's not. He knows you don't believe him, and he actually wants you to flame him so he can look back and laugh at how pissy you guys get about this kind of stuff. I personally like this guy's trolling style.

I mean, it really is funny to see people trying to act clever with the sarcastic comments, and the "prove it"'s. It's obviously a joke thread you idiots.

This thread is interesting... I wonder if anyone actually believes this guy (if so, then wow). I also wonder if this guy thinks he's fooling anyone. This has become quite amusing...

You suck at this.

You admit the post on here from 'Sakurai' was actually a fraud, and then berate us for treating it as a fraud.

Get better at fake posting before trying this again.

I'm not a troll. :/

Really, it's your choice to believe me or not. I could have easily just let Sakurai's account be banned and move on with my life. I just felt like sharing something that happened in my life.

I know you guys should be skeptical about stuff, but this is just ridiculous that you'd resort to this...

1.) But he's smart enough to know not to spend his weekend with a boy! Being a billionaire and all.. No one would even think about pressing charges..

2.) And tell them about things which are top secret?

3.) He has a translator you know..

4.) I doubt you're over 12

So let me get this straight....
You happened to be sitting on a street in Georgia......The same street that the creator of the game happened to be on......and by some off chance he felt like greeting you and wasting his seemingly valuable time to have you translate for him too post on our forums? wtf how do you expect us to believe this?

WHO actually just walks up the street and decides they will use the laptop of a random person on the street?

Really.. i commend you on your entrance to the forums. Not everyone likes to join, being hated from their first post :laugh:

btw.. when you look into Sakurai's eyes, is it like giving a hug to a unicorn?

Looks like I'll have to repeat myself.

I am aware that the 3rd statement in my post is a contradiction. But like I said, the post in here was a copy of the GameFAQs post, later on edited by ME. I made the account on THIS forum, but the one on GameFAQs is REAL.

I was the one who came up with the idea. He was already beginning to leave when I tried to stop him.

And I'm 15 BTW.

Ah crap, double post... -_-

Lol, don't even bother trying to argue this guy anymore. There are more holes in his story than swiss cheese. It sounds like a short story written by a second grader. I think it's pretty funny actually. I hope he seriously thinks that some people believe him, cause that makes it that much funnier.

And I'm 15 BTW.
I feel ashamed to be 15 too...

So?

Sakurai never came here. We guessed right. You still insulted us as though we had guessed wrong. We could never have insulted him because he never came here. By the looks of it, you were typing this up on the fly and changed your story midway.

Try harder. And don't get mad at me, I'm just making you better at your job.
