Well, I can understand why there would be worries there. This makes it sound as though the Namco-Bandai team is mainly there for engineering the game. However, that could actually be a really good thing on its own, because one of the problems with Sakurai was that he didn't want to put in the level of work he put into Melee again, but now he doesn't have to do the hard work and can perhaps spend more time on better game design. We can also undoubtedly expect a more stable game engine.Tekken series director Katsuhiro Harada said:
I'm not entirely sure what he means by "competitive" or "advantage". Hopefully "competitive" means the fighting game kind of competitive and hopefully "advantage" means "Meta Knight". It's odd that he would refer to Smash as competitive since with Brawl it seemed that his goal was to make the game decidedly non-competitive (even though he didn't fully succeed here). Perhaps he's accepted that Smash isn't Mario Party and people will make Smash competitive regardless of his efforts to the contrary?Masahiro Sakurai said:
