TBH, they are pretty damn handsome indeed. Sakurai especially, I strive to be at least that good looking by that age.

(I never thought we'd talk about the attractiviness of game developers of all things. :p)
It doesnt help I call Miyamoto adorable and he is um
*looks it up*
63?!

Considering he looks like he's aging backwards, I still believe Sakurai is a vampire


AKA the same reason why Araki looks old. Although Araki is a Pillar Man, not a vampire like Sakurai
His fountain of youth is supplied by the tears of his fanbase.

Why do you think he trolls so much?

Also forgot to comment on this. Your work is amazing bro. Wish I had half of your drawing ability.

And it just so happens that the two characters you drew are characters I support for Smash Bros. :)
Thanks man. Glad you like it! Follows are always appreciated. It helps spread my stuff so more people are aware of it. I've got and will be posting a lot more stuff on my tumblr, so if you wanna see more like this, gimme a follow. Cheers!

I think speculate(Does this count as smash speculation? :p) the reason why Sakurai looks younger is because he aged well and he put more "work" into himself.

Some people tend age extremely well for whatever reason, sometimes they look better older than they did younger naturally. While other people don't look old for quite awhile, looking relatively the same, I'd say Sakurai falls more under this, he didn't change much with age and chose to go the extra mile in terms of looks.(He wasn't ugly or anything while younger, it's just that now he seems to put more into his looks.)

Even small differences can make you look so much younger, really.

Maybe I'll repost my more well thought out details on this later, since right now I have some anxiety.

I think a big part is genetics. From what we hear Sakurai has the tendency to overwork himself, sleep little, take few breaks and even jeopardize his physical well-being. That's not the kind of stuff that keeps you from aging.

That's partly what I'm saying, actually. My family has similiar genectics it seems, on both sides. Both of my Grandfathers aged very well.

The one on my Mom's side of the family, lived a life where he was a prisoner to the Japanese in WW2 at my age(this was when Japan invaded Indonesia) fought in the war for the europian ally powers after his camp was freed, and settled in the USA eventually. Then eventually worked for NASA over the years on various space projects.

And yet despite all of that, he aged amazingly, so much so, that he married my grandmother, who's father was my grandfathers age.(And my great grand father out lived my grandfather too, I actually got to see him alive.) My grandmother is in her 50s, my grandfather would be in his 90s if he were still alive. Which is crazy, but I wouldn't be here without them getting together. :p

The point being that Sakurai could've very well aged around the same due to genectics. But he probably looks better now because when he presents himself he's not working, he probably had time to make himself look better.

Well, amid all the negative comments on the NeoGaf thread I read I also saw someone speculate about the possibility of the date meaning a simultaneous worldwide release since Japan usually releases stuff on Saturdays but the rest of the world doesn't. . .

That's just speculation though, and even that person seemed a bit pessimistic on the possibility of this actually being legit. . .
A simultaneous worldwide release makes sense when you think about it. I mean, one of the slideshows presented in the Financial Results Briefing from April 27th was this:

Just watched the triforce awakens. Pretty good as always.

But Shylo Ren is an amazing idea!

Dasiy as Rei.

Considering the split reception the two get, perfect.

Thought he'd do the prequels but that would just be Tingle dressed up as Jarjar getting repeatedly crushed under a thwomp.

That and the actress who plays Rei is named Daisy Ridley.

Her name is two controversial characters in one. :p

You forgot Za Warudo's punching with the MUDA MUDA MUDA in place of the jab.
I'd also like to see some knife-throwing in place of Bullet Arts/Bullet Climax, but that's a little too much to ask.

It's just a skin though, changing those things would be a lot more work

I saw Pokemon Generations.

I love it so much.

This is exactly how I envisioned the Pokemon world.

The cries being more realistic. Police using Pokemon's various abilities in operations.

****ING LOOKER!
I love it so much. It really felt like a living breathing world.

One thing I find unintentionally funny about Episode 2 of Generations is them saying, "he's a great Pokemon Trainer" in the same way they'd say "he's got a shotgun".

Makes sense in the context but it still gets a chuckle out of me.

I kinda want to own a M Sachiko-EX card for bragging rights.

But the biggest obstacle is that it's only obtainable in a certain lottery for a show and only 100 will win. Just 100 copies just screams insane prices. :ohwell:

Came home from what was hyped as a "dangerous field trip" only to learn plenty of interesting things about art agencies and funding for the production in art studios. The only bad thing was getting confused as to where the hell to go in that ruined neighborhood.

West Side my ****ing ***.

If people ever ask why we became upset with the Pokemon anime.
Point to moments like this.
This is what they allowed themselves to get away with.
