I hear some people around here claiming that Sakurai and the developers of Brawl are unaware of the highly competitive worldwide Smash community and the "advanced techniques", but I think that's a bit insulting to them.
When Sakurai first met some of the developers of Brawl, he found that they'd played a "terrible number of matches" in Melee. Over 10,000 they claimed (I think). Somehow, I doubt they devoted that much time to the game without becoming aware of higher level Smash play.
Also, Smash has a considerable competitive following in Japan itself.
I think Sakurai would want to know everything about how people are playing his game.

I think Sakurai is more then well aware of Brawl's anticipation and popularity, along with the intense popularity of the previous 2 games.

OP here i need to continue my ranting post about how the world is good and sunny.

I also believe in unicorns that can run on rainbows and **** lollipops which taste like heaven on earth.

Do you honestly think the creator of Smash Bros. wouldn't know about competitive smash? He isn't a fool, he knows what he is doing.

Ya if he wouldent know he would of let the air dodge the way it is but he didint cuz i guess he thinks that people are gonna go online and **** newbs. Also why in the heck did he make samuses missles weaker, oh wait ppl are gonna spam it in FFAs. Wait a second lets add a final smash thats not cheap, but samuses missles are cheap. Also if u look at the videos in the forum of people playing u will see one of a guy loosing bec of the final smash and he gets pissed of and cusses. I guess its smart to have a guy create the game, the same guy that thought pichu would be good because he is fast and hard to hit and can get to the items quicker, OH WELL!
