Champion of Hyrule
Smash Master
I apologize if this topic seems a little “clickbaity,” but these are my actual feelings about this really inspirational man. Sakurai has done so much work on these games, barely even getting much in return except for a paycheck. Now, we all have work or school that makes us really tired, but it’s not just “tiring overhours,” Sakurai, and everyone else on the Super Smash Bros. development team has gone through suffering and frustration, but still manage to hold on to what they’re passionate about and stay working. Then some of us “fans” can only focus on what we don’t have, instead of recognizing all he did for us. If you look at some of the interviews he set aside time for, you would find that Sakurai is in serious pain, emotionally, mentally and physically. I don’t know him personally, but I do know that he has done amazing things, and has truly inspired me. Some of the things he went through working on this game can seriously harm somebody’s mental health and I am worried for this person. Sure, it’s okay to talk about newcomers you want, but you still have to recognize all that has been given to us fans. This is a man who literally made a remake of Street Fighter II in World of Light! So let’s all give Sakurai, and everyone who worked on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate a break, and let them decide their future.
