Topic: Sakurai Famous

[ThePerm]

With all the information on Brawl Sakurai has been made famous, I remember hearing his name maybe 3 times during the creation of Melee and that was just enough to forget it, but i have heard his name mentioned a gazillion times during the hype for brawl. Pretty much to Miyamoto proportions. Sakurai is the director, he didn't make the entire game. It is ridiculous how much flack he's getting.  Also, for that matter credit.

The director deserves a lot of flack and yes credit, like about any director. He is in charge of the production and sets the priorities for the title. It would be like saying back when Miyamoto did directing that he didn't deserve credit.

Miyamoto said that he didn't deserve as much credit as he was getting and acknowledged that his staff should be given more credit.

All I can say is this had better be fake. If they wasted time to put Toon Zelda, Toon Sheik, Dixie, and Dr. Mario into the game when they could have given Ganondorf an original moveset and made Ridley playable, I'm bombing Sakurai and The Studio's headquarters. "
