-_-' Again, I mentioned it in the very same post that prompted you to go off on this tirade. It's not like this was brought up on page 24 or something in this topic.

Point taken and, point being? Yes things change from what a developer will tell us, either due to a deadline or simply being caught off gaurd during an interview and wording a response wrong. The quotes in question come off of the official site, though, so we can assume that Sakurai had plenty of time to formulate his response. Things could always change during the process. But, because of that, we are supposed to ignore everything the developer is telling us? If so, what would be the point of previews at all, since it's all subject to change anyway?

And last time I checked, Iwata is the president of NCL. It's his job, among many other things, to know the status every 1st and 2nd party game in development or planned to go into development. I also find it hard to believe that Nintendo wouldn't make another Smash without Sakurai. They'd probably prefer not to, but this is the same Nintendo that allowed Capcom to develop a Zelda title and let them include a kangaroo with boxing gloves that Link rides in. At some point (maybe not anytime soon), Smash will be in someone elses hands.
At this stage I'm just going to say it: you have never read the documentation on the Smash Bros site, have you? If so, why are you even debating about its probability if you aren't even familiar with the information yourself and its sources? The exact point that you brought up there was addressed on the site, and Nintendo was going to make another Smash Bros game without him if they had to (this comes from Iwata):
"We'd work to make the game independently, but we might be told to simply focus on making the game Wi-Fi compatible, and may be instructed not to lay a hand on any of the 26 characters in the current game..."
