I think this whole rumor came about when PB&J came out and told everyone while commentating at Tipped OFF 5 about a legend/ certain player who would make a surprise appearance at Pound 4. We all logically assumed it would be Isai, seeing as someone mentioned he still played smash in general, and may have wanted to start playing melee again. Ken shows no interest in melee anymore, and Captain Jack also lacks any motivation to coming to this tourney. He said he would ask the other Japanese pros if they wanted to go, but said he makes no promisies that they'll want to go. Japan pretty much plays Brawl now, sadly. That includes Bombsoldier, but I think CJ stopped playing smash all together in tourneys. Its already known that almost all the top pros from Europe are going so no need to create anxiety hype over say amsah.
