Tsk Tsk Tsk, You all dissapoint me. Your anxioty is ill-placed my friends for Nintendo, to put it bluntly, knows there sh*t! A while before Ninteddo realised thr Brawl footage, no, a short time after they realesed Melee! Nintendo said "We'd run it past you, Sakurai-san."(Is refering to another Smash sequal) at E3 footage was shown, the masses screemed and applauded, while Nintendo asked Sakurai to direct a new sequal to the Smash Brothers Serises. It took alot of thought on his part. Mr. Aonuma ran to him with enormious excitement yelling: Sakurai -san! Your gonna do it right!? Make the Smash sequal, right?! Sakurairealized its HIS responsibilty.
When Smash 64 came out, he and his crew were gently shoveing off a new infant-of-a-game, not knowing where it would bring them. Melee? After that they were applauding there teenage seriese , and how much it had brought smiles to the younger generation. What of Brawl? When a game reaches its teenage years its vulnirable to change. To unkind producers, to soulless game creaters. Nintendo wants the soul of Smash to be un-touched by those evils. They know what there doing.
Nintendo gave Sakurai some its top. Its most elete. Each person with AT LEAST 10,000 matches each. With a save file to back it up!
Nintendo gave Sakurai his own branch. One entire branch devoted to one series and one series only. Can you guess what series that is? Not only that but Sakurai even moved to Tokyo so he wouldent lose time beceause of his nighttime commute.
You belive theres anything to fear? You belive that Nintendo will screw up? Shame on you! If anything you should be worrying for X-Box 360 and PS3, and how it can POSSIBLY surive the immense hit Brawl will be! My smash brothers and my smash sisters: FEAR NOT Nintendo, no, SAKURAI-SAN will not fail us.
One more little addation: If you would quit on Brawl, for something as little as ONE MOVE, a game that Sakurai is pushing his very limits just to bring to us, I can not look upon you with respect.
(On a side note Sakurai has stated that he wants to focus on ariel combat more, so expect air doge to still be in there, and by accioation wavedashing. Also I am very found of wave dashing I would be sad for its departure as well, but life goes on, more and better moves can and will be found, of that I promise!)
*&%*End extremly serious rant*%&*
Anyway before closeing this I just want you all to know that I didn't want to hurt anyone fealings, or any of that, and if it did happen I do aplogise, but I DO NOT and NEVER WILL take any of it, not even a WORD, back. At the end of it all, we shouldent worry about how they do there job, there pros. Talking about how they could screw up is only discourgeing thoes of them(If there are any) that have or will visit this site. and thats the LAST thing they need right now. 'Specially sence most of there time is devoted to OUR enjoyment.
