Look, Sakurai is free to take a Vacation, man. He's Japanese where they put their work moreso than their livelihood but he's still human.

Guy just probably wants a break or even on a small business trip unrelated to Smash.

Or what others have said, the picture is probably old

No, it was a joke that Sakurai would never take a vacation because he's a workaholic.
Lol.

Well for all you undertale fans who want it to succeed, game grumps (or at least Steam Train) are doing it now. Quite a bit of free publicity for it.

I was seriously joking, of course the man is entitled to vacations, I'd give him a month off to relax if I ever had the chance to.
I'm just poking fun at his workaholic nature. The dude only took, like, a few days in December of vacation the entire time smash 4 was in development.
And I'd still just like to know why he's there, not for any conspiracy theories, just because I love the guy and like to know what he's up to.

I wonder how this site will react when both Shovel Knight and Shantae are playable.
There will be a clear division:
1. The supporters who will be rejoicing
2. The detractors who will be salty
3. The people who don't care and are just happy that more characters are being added

"When?"
Do you have a leak to share with us, Kenith? :3
Say hello to my good friend Shantae. ;)
Nope.
On second thought...I'm pretty sure I could infracted for pretending to be a leaker. Don't put me on the spot like that. :urg:

Honestly I do want to see Shovel Knight and Shantae get in together, even thought it's got a 0.0000001% chance of happening.

If this were a Yacht Club guy the reaction would be very different.
Thank you. Seriously. I'm sorry, but the Wayforward hate is now driving me up a wall.

Seriously, cut it out. All that was done here was we shared a pic of Matt Bozon and Sakurai together, then everyone does the obvious and goes (don't look into this, she's not in, hate, salt, etc).

I'm really glad just to see such a picture is even acquired from the guy, it must have been great to meet the man that made Smash Bros. But just because you have too much spite and slat towards Wayforward and bias with Shovel Knight, I'm really getting fed up with the immaturity people are treating this companies and their workers because of this damn ballot. Really, this is just unfair just to has so much spite for one thing a company does and bias turn of the cheek with some character apparently being in Smash...

Just saying that that if both shantae and shovel knight got in at the end of the day the amount of excitement and hype in me would reach height levels of mt.everest

Well, the Shantae support thread here has 184 pages.

The Shovel Knight thread has 13.
The Shantae thread has been around since 2012 while the Shovel Knight thread was just made last year just shortly before his game's release.

Pretty sure that's not Matt Bozon.

I don't think most people here are trying to hate.

Sorry, I associated Matt on instinct, but my point was still that some people around here just seems to be taking the image too personally. It's just a picture of a dev with Sakurai, nothing more.

But thanks for the correction.

This, also, it's easy to rack up pages when you have a concentrated, somewhat obsessive fanbase like Shantae does.
Shovel Knight's is a much more casual group.
On top of that...this is probably Shovel Knight's biggest hatebase...or, was.

It is our job as Smash fans to take everything personally. We're thirsty.

If you're checking Twitter to have some clues over who's the next character in Smash, you guys might need some help.

That is the one place I feel like you guys are reaching too hard. I don't give a damn about rumors or leaks or clues but man if this was anyone else or any other non-indie third party character, we'll be doing this all day.

Just give up on Twitter, especially you epicmartin7 epicmartin7 . YCG Twitter feed doesn't help or hinder the rumor a lot considering they are teetering on that NDA if he's in and I doubt they'll do that if that's case.

I'm just doing this to avoid you guys from disappointment. Twitter is like the last place we should check
I'm going to be blatant and honest. I don't really believe in twitter posts. I don't really post them because they give clues toward a character. I post them because they keep the discussion rolling and speculation alive.

Your not going to find something all the time on twitter. They're just mostly for entertainment purposes. Of course, there's a chance you'll find stuff on twitter, but it really depends on the time and place.

I put that line in as a joke...

I didn't think it would win...

That actually hurts....

It's mostly joke votes. Don't take it too seriously.

Play Megaman 3&4. Best games in the series IMO and you haven't played X1 yet?

PLAY THEM

So far, Shantae and the two Zelda titles are winning.

Aw. Well, I voted Link's Awakening. It seems pretty underrated honestly. Has a lot of cool stuff in it, I picked it up when Club Nintendo was ending and definitely didn't regret spending my points on it. It definitely keeps up with other Zelda titles.

...I've never understood the praise for 3. I mean don't get me wrong, I LOVE all the Megaman games, 3 included, but The Doc Robots were such obnoxious padding to me, and the Wily Castle was a joke.
What is it about 3 that gets it so much admiration? Not an accusation, just curiosity.
