Kamiya is the only thing that justifies me making a twitter account. Some of these responses are gold

Where does he find the time?

He uses the time he would normally spend not making Bayonetta 2.

That's not like him to talk about someone else's game like that. He really must not like it at all.

I'm not surprised.
Wow, he feels that strongly about it... Does he have a personal gripe with Sony?
He is calling out what he sees as a shameless rip off, but isn't all of gaming made of that to some extent?
This might backfire on him.
:lol

Oh no. Did he shoot himself in the foot?
I'm not surprised.
Oh you saw me posted that in other thread?

Kamiya telling it like it is.
You sound like an expert on Japanese culture. Are honour and shame huge parts of it?
His objection seems to be the conceptual lack of originality. I don't think playing it would change that.
He openly admits he hasn't.
The best thing about his Twitter is him replying to re-asked questions with links to the last time somebody asked. I think it took like 10 Tweets to eventually get linked back to the answer to 'who would you want to work with?'
Shu Takumi! (Which would be incredibly rad)
Then he must hate all fighting games.
It's refreshing when a developer just speaks his mind instead of walking on his toes trieing to appease others in the industry because of fragile business relationships. And let's be honest here, isn't he just saying what everybody is thinking anyway? If this backfires on him, it would be a shame.
Edit: oh I see others in this thread already commented on the backfiring thing... I'm not an expert anyway so what do I know lol
Thats the problem people judge the game without playing it first, having played the beta I can say the game plays a lot different than ssb.
I'm sure you guys have cooked up a bunch of canned responses like this in the PSABR threads but it's plainly obvious to everyone outside the echo chamber that the idea of a first party crossover fighting game with Smash mechanics is pretty unique, or was, until Sony greenlit that game.
Kamiya doesn't want to try the game, so doing so clearly wouldn't change his mind. Execution doesn't matter. His objection is conceptual.

Kamiya-san? Kamiya-sensei?
Some of those people watch too many animes.

I'm not surprised.
Kamiya knows the truth, this should lead to some entertaining tweets.
Pretty much.

Kamiya don't give a fuck
I'm not surprised.
BrofistUgh, I'm afraid someone will make a thread about this. Please don't.
Let's rein it back in:
You just want to see the reactions

I was just asking; I don't get the reference to Japanese culture expertise... I thought it was a big thing for him to call out a First Party/Platform holder out in the open.
The only reason I suggested that is I read Sony threatened to pull games out of stores if they advertised for the Xbox and it worked, while going through historygaf. Those guys might still be insane about PR so I wondered whether they could target Kamiya.
I was indifferent to the game, the way Kamiya puts it; it is repulsive.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Wish more Devs would be on twitter like Kamiya.
I understand sensei might be a bit much, but what's wrong with saying Kamiya-san?

Why are people so pissed off at Smash Bros becoming a franchise rather than a genre?
