Not even the first time Sakurai forgot about Mewtwo.
I like this.

Thank God he said vacation.
Mewtwo has a unique playstyle, Lucas and Roy don't.

The wording of the sentence implied Mewtwo isn't a returning veteran.

It's a translated sentence.

Yep, that could meant Smash 4 NX rumor might be false or just direct port that Sakurai have nothing to do with. Who knows.
I'm glad that Sakurai finally got his vacation that he wanted for long time! We know he really need it.

The Geno dream is dead.

Extended vacation, huh?
I'm assuming that means no major new content for the NX port, or that if there is any, it's being handled by not-sakurai.

Just stop, many top players already said they are not top tier even stating Bay is top 15.
They are just new.
Until we see Bay and Corrin consistently winning tournaments we can't say that.

Sakurai is oddly consistent with not saying Mewtwo is a vet. This isn't the first time he's only mentioned Lucas and Roy as vets.
It's weird because Mewtwo is clearly a vet, and nobody really minds or cares that he's a vet and not a new comer.

You can put Geno on anytime!
IF there is a port it'll come post-launch and additional content is not going to be difficult to add.

so bayonetta and corrin are staying the way they are? and samus is staying gutter trash?
word, I guess i've had my fill of this game then. I'm not gonna sit here and play Bayonetta Bros. For Wii U for the next couple of years, fuck that. So thanks for the good times Sak & co, and may you one day come to grasp the notion of balance.

Mewtwo is two awesome for such titles.
Fixed. Bayo and Corrin are balanced and in no way OP.
This was obvious. I don't know why anyone thought a NX port would add anything new beyond possibly integrating 3DS content not in the Wii U version.

Man, it just ain't the same.

Jah bless, Sakurai. Thanks for giving us the Queen.
Super excited to see what this guy works on next, assuming it's not more Smash.

To be fair, Geno Mii Gunner with correct move set feel like you are actually playing as Geno. I'm totally fine with it.
And many others who probably worked nearly equally long hours.

Kind of a crazy thought: Smash 4 basically lasted nearly half a decade. It was first announced in mid 2011 and then completely finished in early 2016.
Enjoy your vacation, Sakurai. You certainly deserve and need it!
If Sakurai doesn't direct the next game, I'd love for the new team to starting changing up the design in a way Sakurai never did. I understand and agree with his decision to keep the core design the same, but after four games, a new take on Smash would be very cool.

Don't take too long on that vacation Sakurai! NX ports gonna have to be ready by launch!

Not really. Let start with when Smash 4 is actually into development which is early 2012.

Who???
Part of me is glad he'll finally get a break and work on something else. But I can't imagine the next Smash Bros game without his involvement.
Go rest, you beautiful, beautiful man
This could just mean the rumoured NX Smash is a direct port with little changes. Might also be a way for someone new to try their hands at Smash before creating a brand new Smash.
Either way, looking forward to whatever our favourite troll decides to work on next.

At the very least, 2011 was when Smash 4's speculation period really began.

I think it's a lot easier to make a case for Bayonetta and Corrin having disruptive and incredibly powerful properties to many of their moves than it is to make a case for them being balanced, to be frank. at any rate, one of those arguments is evident right off the bat whereas the other can't even be determined this early in the game. They just don't feel even close to balanced, to me, though. Although I've had a lot of success fending off bayo players with dedede.

But what about *character that doesn't matter*?

It's weird you guys are reading this to mean the potential NX point will lack content when
Made me think the dead opposite, that the port would contain new characters because that's the feature people most look forward to and sell the game.

I expect Sakurai to make a sequel to Kid Icarus for the NX.
Why not???
I haven't played it but it seems to have gone over well.

I hope that extended vacation is actually substantial. He needs the time off, including from other projects...Besides, he's earned it.
They just now finished working on the 3DS and WiiU version, a NX version for launch was never going to be more than a port/complete edition.
