So... Sakurai confirmed he's doing a livestream on March 10th to answer fan questions and I'm currently thinking WHY NO ONE IS FREAKING HYPED ABOUT THIS.

It's rare that the man interacts with his fanbase at all or even answers questions from the fans directly. This could be our chance to uncover heavy duty information we have never seen out in the wild and have many unanswered questions be finally answered.

This is extremely huge and I feel could lead to a lot of cool things being uncovered. This is why this could be extremely important. The fact that we can ask the big guy directly is a dream come true lol.
I hope there's a question relating to the future of Kid Icarus.

Maybe he will give us a hint that even if he doesn't want to, someone else will make a new game. Oh and of course, a hundred Smash Bros questions too.

Personally I would hold my breath for a lot of Smash related questions to get picked.

The examples they give in the Famitsu article to submit the questions (which btw you need a phyiscal Japanese address to do) are:
"What are your thoughts about a game you've played in the past/ recently"
and
"A simple question about the game industry"

Most people don't realize this, but Sakurai writes a lot (500 columns so far!), and a lot of it isn't about his own games/ Smash. We haven't translated a lot those columns as the Smash ones took precedent. I think we've done 33/499 so far.

Sakurai's Column on talking about God Hand/ other games are about as common, if not more so than Smash. Since this is more about a celebration of his columns, I'd expect those kinds of questions to take precedent (of course, Smash questions could still happen). I actually have a list of all the columns Soma/ I made for the translation team at SG/ for our patreons. I should calculate it...

It's probably not gonna happen, but I hope someone asks Sakurai about Rosalina's inclusion in Smash.

She's the only newcomer where he hasn't elaborated on her inclusion in any way, as far as I can remember (i.e why he included her, challenges her inclusion presented, how strict Koizumi was with how she is represented, etc).

"Sakurai, what's the deal with the lack of music tracks on Midgar? And could you also elaborate on stuff regarding Snake in SSB4? What did Kojima or Konami say?"

Hope senpai notices me o///o

When you're browsing tumblr and it appears someone is prepping for an idea you happened to also be thinking of...



Welp, there goes that idea.

That's twice this week.

Oh that's pretty neat. *inb4 he gets a ton of "why no DK rep, Metroid, Wolf in Smash" related questions and whatnot*

I hope he gets some questions in regards to the future of Kid Icarus and maybe his next project....

Even if that voice was something non-anime....it would be soooo wierd to me. Pits voice for Pit and Pit alone!
It's kinda hilarious in hindsight considering Corrin is in Smash alongside Pit, though.

And what did you expect from the same voice actor doing a similar role? Both characters are young, dorky characters, so the voice kinda fits.

It is weird, but you could say the same about Laura Bailey voicing Lucina using a voice she does in Saints Row.

Or any villain voiced by Norio Wakamoto sounding the exact same.

You can trust me on that one
THIS IS A NEW AND ORIGINAL JOKE.

As for the Awakening expies (Odin, Laslow, Selena, Rhajat, Asugi and Caeldori), it's great that they brought the same voice actors back. Same for Anna and the amiibo FE characters.

Nintendo has been doing a better job in regards to VAing than they used to, the worst offender being the Star Fox series that had multiple cast replacements whereas the Japanese cast had remained consistent. Though I feel the voice direction of FE Fates isn't on par with Awakening's.

Lmao, these names.
They're anagrams. lol

They're also anagrams in the Japanese version (considering the official romanizations, not the kana/romaji). Caeldori is Matoi, while Cordelia is Tiamo. Same for Rhajat (Syalla) and Tharja (Sallya).

Laura Bailey basically uses more or less the same voice for a lot of her roles. She's like the Johnny Yong Bosch of female anime/game voice actors.

When I first heard Lucina, all I could think of was:



Lucina won't be doing any S-Supports, it seems...

She's a Kamen Rider too, meaning she'd sooner die than marry if previous female Riders are any indication

In all seriousness, I'd want to know Sakurai's opinion on certain characters I want. Bandana Waddle Dee, Daitoryo, a Fossil Fighters rep, etc.
Essentially this, of course:


>Expies
>Odin, Laslow and Selena

Yes, I know what you're talking about, but I wanted to keep the post simple.

I don't always like to go in details to make a point, you see...

Judging by your behaviour in the past, I anticipated you were a few years younger actually, meaning either you lied about your age to get past the age restriction, or you matured a bit later
HAHAHA! ZOROARKING WON'T GET TO KNOW WHAT HIS BELOVED'S VOICE WILL SOUND LIKE YET!
I was going through a depression actually, so I had been acting a bit differently then normal.
