Thank you so much Masked Man for doing this!
I'm no competitive player but I tend to disagree: the characters don't have to be the same, but trying to balance them with bonuses and maluses until all are more or less equally good should be one of the main objectives to have a fun game. Even when playing 4vs4 items on.
Eldin Bridge?
Well yeah, it can be destroyed though.
Shots fired. This sets Sakurai's mentality about Smash into stone.

I saw you guys talk about Square characters a couple of pages back while I was sleeping, so I'm a bit late. But what about Terra from Final Fantasy VI?
Square would never agree to that, but the music would be neat.
We all know that if square got to pick right now, the choice would be 'Lightning' or 'Sora' -or maybe a generic 'Fighter' or Red mage (Robin clone!) class from something like the new 'explorers' game.
Sora is a much better fit, I think, but then you run into Disney licensing issues.
I want Kain Highwind more than anything 
It's who sakurai would put in, I'm sure. One of the original FF classes/characters, etc. I bet sakurai would even base it off the amano art, because Sakurai is cool like that.
Haha, these are awesome.
Pic of the day. Here's a Screen K.O. shot. There are also patterns where players will disappear into the sky for Star K.O.s, but as a match's time limit approaches, those K.O.s will not occur anymore.
Assist trophy!
You would get ff dissidia version
And you would like it
Moogles have already proven themselves as the most powerful creatures in the FF universe.
Relegating them to an AssistTrophy is shameful.

MogChocobo as assist trophy would be cool tho.

I'd love Geno, but Square would probably never allow it without sticking Lightning or someone else into the game, and then demanding a ton of money.

That's how I see it. Maybe do what Dissidia kind of did and make all the original classes (or the more iconic ones) into a single character as franchise representative as opposed to just a single game.
A FF stage would likely be on a generic airship which can cover the Nintendo games. Music would be a bit hard since would Sakurai just focus on songs from FF1? Or would he have a song or 2 from 1-6?

Bleh! You people make me sick!
I'd actually prefer Gilgamesh.

Hurfff
Also, I guess now is a good time to repost these:
This one is amazing, lol.
EDIT: Btw, where can I find this match? Greninja vs. WFT seems like an interesting match up.

K. K. Snake Eater needs to make it in Smash.
Thank you. I was trying to find that but failed

The last 2 images have been really out of place on a week where 2 new characters and a vet were announced. They seem like random filler shots from 2013 and not stuff a month and a half from (Japan) release.
They kinda went all out monday, and then multi-picture update on tue/wed (3 then 2!) with huge explanations. They did all 5 pictures of the week before Wed, so cut them some slack! Heck, they did 5 pictures BY tuesday! We got another 5 after that. 10 pictures this week! And you're upset the last TWO weren't that great? Kinda hard to follow up after mon/tue/wed!

As always, thanks 1000 times over for your translation. The entire English speaking Smash fanbase appreciates it. However, I think you may have misinterpreted what he said. The only way to have a 100% balanced fighting game is for all the characters to be the same. The more similar they are, the more likely and easier they are to balance. Little Mac represents a bit of a departure from other Smash characters in that he's so "extreme" so to speak. As such, he is harder to balance and has a higher chance of being Top Tier or Bottom Tier than a lot of other characters. Sakurai is more interested in selecting characters with interesting movesets that will "spice up the game" than more pedestrian movesets that are easier to balance. It's part of the reason a game like Marvel vs Capcom 3 has relatively poor balance (Capcom being rushed due to shitty licensing agreements and some degree of ineptitude contribute though
). When you have characters like Magneto next to Arthur, shit gets crazy.balladofwindfishes

We don't have any dailies dedicated to Captain Falcon, and other "minor" stuff like Mii's moveset, taunts, costumes, etc would be more interesting than a picture of a cat from one of the first levels shown and a feature we've known about since E3.
I wouldn't say I'm upset, more it just seems weird to abruptly slow down the new character hype with a picture of a cat.
I'm totally willing to forgive the slow thur/fri because mon/tue/wed were so great. The cat is probably one of the lamest pictures we've had to date, but today's picture has never been pointed out in a picture of the day, and the star KO info was new. Anyone who didn't catch any E3 footage might not know about today's update.
If sakurai's cat isn't in this game, the cat will probably flip a table.

Good. I absolutely agree with him.

Any screen knockouts of ZSS, Greninja and Pit? Love how animated this game is. Gonna be the best Smash Bros game for me.
That was one of the best things to ever grace my ear holes. Thank you.
Yes. See the link below. (Not pit, apparently)

Damn, I didn't realized that we haven't seen Pit!

A lot of those screen KOs look kind of bad due to the lack of animation.

Thanks!
You just changed your avatar and are no longer a pad. I am sad.
That's a low blow. Sakurai isn't nearly that bad. I get the analogy you're going for, but unlike star wars, the vocal melee/competitive fanbase is a small minority of its overall audience. If sakurai were george lucas he wouldn't even be TRYING to balance the game.
And besides, Sakamoto has that position more than filled.

Hyperbole, right?
He didn't say that at all but whatever, insane comparisons will get you noticed so it's cool.
