What did Sakurai say?

[Yoichi]

I thought this could be a topic where people could post links to articles and interviews with Sakurai-san, so as to keep discussion about what he said in one common thread.

Here are some articles:
Results from Sakurai's character poll
Interview with Sakurai from E3 '06
Reconfirmation of old News

And of course, http://www.smashbros.com
