If you were given the opportunity to meet Sakurai, what questions would you ask him?

Mine would be:

1. Why did you bring back BIG BLUE and JUNGLE JAPES and not Dreamland 64?

2. Why on MT Cornet do you have the legendary Pokemon disappear to only have them reappear two seconds later? Why didn't you have all 3 Pokemon appear during the same battle?

3. Why would you give Yoshi, Wario, etc crawling abilities that are absolutely useless because they are too big to crawl underneath any projectiles fired at them?!

4. Why did you leave out the most wanted Yoshi colors? Black and White?

5. How could you over look such obvious glitches that were found days after the games release? Was it it tested at all?!

6. By the way, thanks for the awesome game. and I LOVE the Yoshi improvements =).

I have to say, question number 5 is rather a$$hole-ish of you. Do you realize that brawl almost literally became the team's EXISTENCE?

I would ask one question and one question only.

When the **** are Europe and other PAL regions going to get the game and why the **** is it taking so long Mr Sakurai?

1. What character's FS was the most fun to come up with?

2. Were you aware of glitches/advanced techniques like Wavedashing and L-canceling that came up in Melee? Did you intentionally take them out in Brawl to balance the playing field?

3. Are there any other past levels that could've made a comeback but didn't?

4. Lucario uses Mewtwo as a role model, right? Whatever happened to Mewtwo?

5. Are there any other characters from other non-Nintendo franchises that you wish you could've had in Brawl? If so, then who?

6. What's your favorite level?

7. On a scale of 1-10, what would you rate Pikachu in awesomeness?

1. Where do you come up with those sooo awesome quotes?
2. Did you really think we would forget how to recover?
3. To what extent were these delays amusing to you?
4. Why did you allow for them to show snake with so much back without changing the rating to M?
5. What standards did you put on the music that you decided to choose for Brawl?

I would ask

Why did you spend so much time on SSE, when a fighter is not really about single player?
Why did you make the SSE beatable in 6-8 hours if you wanted to focus on it?
Why did you leave clones in when there were plenty of fresh characters?
Why didn't you add one completely new female character?
Why did you leave out Krystal, and gave her such a small role, when she was more popular than some of the characters who made it in?
Why didn't you make Isaac playable, when he could have had a great move list, and he is super popular.
Why didn't you fix these with DLC when it was possible, and lie to us about it?

Care to play a match?

If he refused I'd punch him in the nose and say "YOU MUST RECOVER!"

WAS WAVEDASHING EVER INTENDED TO BE IN MELEE? I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING IT IS NOT A GLITCH WHEN IT IS.

Why couldn't you just add one more moveset or luigified character to get to 40 movesets?
Isaac would've been nice. Heck Mewtwo or Roy would've been satisfying.

1. Why were characters cut? Or more specifically, why were Mewtwo and Roy cut?
2. Why can't we have downloadable characters?
3. Why was Wolf chosen over Krystal?
4. Will there be a Smash Bros 4?

Wow, a lot of these are more rude demands than questions...

Question 1) Can I have your autograph?

Question 2, maybe) How did you decide what past stages to bring back for Brawl?

Then I would thank him for what he's done and that would be all.

First thing I would ask is that, why did he tell the world he wanted to add more females and villains to the roster, and remove the clones, and then why did he not?

Then I'd probably ask things about what it's like being in the game industry and how he'd suggest getting started on a career like that, etc.

Also of course thank him for making both the Kirby and Smash franchises and that they're some of my favorites in the Nintendo repetoire.

I'd probably avoid ranting on the Subspace Emissary since I'm sure he'd have important places to be, and I could tie up hours complaining about that debacle.

Hi everyone. I am Masahiro Sakurai. I am feeling very cynical today.

I would ask....

1. Why didn't you include DLC when it is clearly possible?
2. What made you want to include R.O.B. as a character?
3. What made you want to cut characters?
4. Why didn't you include Luigi's Star Suit from Super Mario Galaxy for a costume? (Same with Mario)
5. When are the European and Australian release dates?
6. When is Kirby The Wii Hero scheduled to release in North America?
1. Because I want to move on and not make additions to this one game for the rest of my life. There's a reason I left Nintendo in the first place.
2. Without ROB, there would have been no NES in the United States of America. Without the NES in America, Nintendo would not have seen the type of success it has and you would not be playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
3. Annoying brats who wouldn't shut up about clones. That and I couldn't find any way for Mewtwo and his gigantic tail to work without sucking.
4. It didn't cross my mind. The Mario Galaxy team was very secretive! I don't have any Galaxy stuff in this game!
5. Ask Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of Australia. They hate gamers though so I don't know if it's a good idea!
6. I left HAL. I do not work on Kirby games any more.

I would ask

Why did you spend so much time on SSE, when a fighter is not really about single player?
Why did you make the SSE beatable in 6-8 hours if you wanted to focus on it?
Why did you leave clones in when there were plenty of fresh characters?

I spent so much time on SSE because the multiplayer was pretty much perfected in the first two games and just needed slight tweaks. I have wanted to create something rich for single player in Smash Bros for almost a decade now!

6 - 8 hours is a great chunk of time on a game that is still primarily a multiplayer game. It's about the length of blockbusters like the Halo and Metal Gear Solid series.

There are no clones in Brawl.

There were better non-female characters to add.

Krystal is quite possibly one of the worst characters ever conceived.

Isaac is less popular than you think oh internet-dweller.

Because I want to make a new game. I want to innovate. I don't want to update Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the rest of my life. There's a reason I left Nintendo in the first place.

He didn't. The females and clones thing were (obviously wrongly) inferred from vague statements made about ZSS and removing characters in general. I don't know where you got villains from.

20charizards (10 isn't enough)

He added villains to the roster. What do you think Wolf and King Dedede are? Also,
R.O.B. is technically a villain.

Let me see. . .

1. WTF happen to Mew2? Why was he cut in favor of that dog?

2. WTH hapened to the SHINY CHAR!!?!?!?? It was in the whobble demo AND in some mag scans. . .why was this color cut from PT when it makes complete and perfect sense to have a alt color from the actual GAMES in?

3. Do you feel that Nintendo will make DLC for the game now that it's clear that theres a means of doing DLC on the Wii?

Why for the 2nd time in a row did you not give bowser a stage?

Why, despite the fact that you created the Kirby series, only create one new kirby stage?

Why didn't you implement friend code voice chat, despite the fact that pokemon diamond and pearl uses it?

Why did you overlook the only viable female option (Krystal) over Wolf and more specifically the pointless Falco?

Why did you keep Ganondorf a clone when he has so many games in which to create a moveset from?

Why is a european release date still not up on the dojo?

And will you sign my baby?
