He just wants more people to play his boy. Thats his child and everyone ignores him for being low tier. I like to play him sometimes it's fun using people's specials against them
I don't even own Smash, I legit just watch these videos to hear this man talk. Sakurai's personality is just so nice, he really draws people to him. He could do daily videos about his day at work and I'd watch.
"If I had to choose, I'd say I like Pyra better... of course, we're talking strictly about combat ability. Yes, I think it would be Pyra... as a fighter, of course." Edit - New timestamp: 23:43
This man's style for these videos is so unique, especially coming from Nintendo. He's incredibly forthcoming, sincere, and candid about things you'd never expect to hear from an official Nintendo channel. Stuff like "this is my house, can you believe I'm filming from here?" or " This game is for good boys and girls so Mai Shiranui couldn't be included" and "This is how these reveal movies are made, I didn't write the newest one btw!" all while he shows us his entertainment center not caring that we can clearly see he has a PS3, a PS4, a PS4 Pro, and an Xbox One X under his TVs. Its as refreshing and entertaining as it is rare. Thank you, Mr. Sakurai.
He also mentioned he could get into trouble if he keeps doing this. However I find Sakurai to be rather careful with his wording. Just hope that the fanbase do not put things too much out of context to ruin his reputation. It is because of his wholesome reputation that allows him to be a bit free from Nintendo child like restrictions. Many love Sakurai because of his gamer status and very open about himself. I still remember in his first present of Hero. He admittely in the very beginning. That they did not have a budget for this and he himself would like to showcase the fighter. My first thought "Is he even allowed to openly be blunt about this?".

Pyra and Mythra's feet being mentioned 35:46 5. Sakurai mentioning he has figures of unreleased fighters in a locked drawer 35:56
Sakurai Presents that take place in his home, feel more intimate and comfier than the usual Smash videos. It's like a close friend inviting you over to his house, so that he can show you some personal life project he's been working on just for fun. Doesn't feel like he's promoting nor trying to sell you a corporate product.
You can hear how he exaggerates the last letter. I don’t know Japanese, but I happen to be extremely fluent in the language of tone. He clearly regrets saying that lol. He knows the internet well.
Can we just talk about how much of a badass chad Sakurai is? Like, this man has had a bunch of problems during the development of Ultimate, and what does he do? He kept trying his absolute hardest to make people happy. Seriously, Sakurai deserves a break and a ton of credit for his work on this series. Big props to him for making my favorite fighting game of all time.
What I want for smash is for sakurai to die in piece and relaxed. I admire his dedication. I wish I was as dedicated as him... But think personally he should seriously consider a break after this fighters pass
While funny, it's unlikely that will work. Just a couple days ago a friend and I discovered that Byleth's fully charged arrow can be reflected but not pocketed
Sakurai really just said who's your waifu, the cutie or the tsun, like no joke, not even exaggerating here, Sakurai asked us that. The Legend. Since people asked for timestamps: He asks at 2:30 He tells us his waifu at 23:42
Sakurai: "I actually hide figures of unreleased fighters in a locked drawer." *Millions of footsteps can be heard as an stampede approaches Sakurai's house*
Sakurai is such a sweet guy... It makes me sick that he gets so much hate if ONE character isn't what someone... he works harder than most people, to the point where he needed to get hospitalized... We don't deserve Sakurai!
I am very late to this but I agree. Sakurai and the development team are literally putting out the best they can with what they have at their disposal. It kinda sickens me that some bitter fans get so vitriolic to ridiculous extents. Even if certain fighters are very desirable at times to the masses. Ahem… Joker, Banjo, and Steve to name names. I should even mention characters that weren’t too desirable to fans that ended up in the game such as Incineroar, Byleth, Min Min, and Pyra/Mythra made the anger and hatred absolutely unbearable to sit through. Even though I’d love to see my most wanted character join the roster, who is Crash Bandicoot, if he does not make the cut, I am just going to cut my losses. That’s kinda why I try to not let fan speculation and consensus dictate how I feel about these characters. (Despite it being very natural that I’m going to like certain characters more than others.) I’m like “Can I just play Smash in peace without all this fan nonsense?” So yeah, I’m kinda on the same boat as Sakurai but not to the extent that he ended up getting into. I’m not sure if this seems like a fair point but hopefully you guys get what I mean.
i think its funny how mew2king complained for the entire time they talked about kirbys increased power because "everybody knows that just move on" but in every other video and comment section people had no idea it was a thing and/or thought it was just for pyra/mythra
"Of course, we're talking strictly about combat ability" Me: Yeah right. Edit: If you want to know what im talking, im talking about sakurai liking pyra.
Sakurai: "There's only two left, I think I can divulge to everyone about my 'special stash.'" L4D director: "⚠️ Be ready to fight the horde..." Sakurai: "yabe"

@@Apotheosister Nah, I don't think MH ever had a chance. Too many weapon variants, unique items, and gameplay mechanics to possibly fit into one fighter. I would have liked one, but it was never likely.
I imagine there's, like, 30 figurines in there of every single request he's gotten over the years. Either that, or just a single Waluigi statue with a tear drawn on it.
We thought we had the ultimate sword with Sephiroth's inclusion but we didn't realized we needed the literally humanized swords, that's a whole new level.
If only Etika were still here.... HE'D BE FLIPPING EVERYTHING IN HIS APARTMENT, BREAKING ALL HIS SHELVES, AND POSSIBLY HIS ENTIRE SETUP. Rest In Peace, my man.
Prayers, blessings, and best wishes to you, Mr. Sakurai, your family, your staff, your medical professionals, and your countrie's population for the incredible outbreak during the pandemic. While I enjoy each new character release video, safety of another person is what hits my mind the most. Take care. Looking forward to what you have next.
I think that only proves his point. After seeing what two Ice Climbers are capable of with simple hammer attacks, having two characters at once with the complexity shown here would definitely break the game, both balance-wise and the actual programming too, in a situation where there are 16 of them fighting at once.
Sakurai confirmed to be a Pyra man

@@itsxenlol that's awesome.
@@itsxenlol That was probably the fake Sakurai account.
When he said there wasn't anyone to laugh at his jokes, I felt that.

35:48 Sakurai's face when he realizes he just revealed his foot fetish to millions of people
lmao
Lol
Thats false
@@Switch-pu3un it's not fake looks real lol
You can see his face go blank
"Say, chum. Which one d'you fancy?"

I immediately thought of that scene when he asked which one we prefer lmao

THANK YOU FOR PUTTING MOR ARDAIN'S MUSIC IN, SAKURAI!
I love the Arthur Mii outfit and the official Pneuma art too! Can't wait!!!
EDIT: TEAM PYRA TOO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mor Ardain - Roaming the Wastes is indeed an awesome song
Just watched your reaction
I was hoping for Tantal as well but we got Zeke’s theme so it’s okay!!
Team Mythra though :)
Team Pyra
No chronicles X musics, how dare him
"Nobody here to laugh at my jokes." WE'RE HERE, SAKURAI! WE ARE HERE!!!
And Sakurai, WE LOVE YOUR HOUSE! It's so beautiful! And you got like every Game Console ever! Please stay there for the last 2 Fighter Presentations!
EVERYONE IS HERE

"You might notice something's a little different this time..."
"Oh... is that a new couch?"
"I am at home instead of the office!"
"Oh...... right."

@Samuel Anderson today I think
@Samuel Anderson didn’t say but I believe around 7-8 going off of past fighter releases
@Samuel Anderson est þat is
he has a statue of mona from persona 5. does that mean it will eventualy be a playable charecters?
@Samuel Anderson no problem! I have plenty of experience waiting for dlc
“Who’s dreams are being crushed by Mii costumes this time?”
“OH NO MINE!”
Monster hunter got deconfirmed three times in a row. I cry
This is what Geno fans must feel, but worse since Monster Hunter actually had a chance this time.
@@Apotheosister Nah, I don't think MH ever had a chance. Too many weapon variants, unique items, and gameplay mechanics to possibly fit into one fighter. I would have liked one, but it was never likely.
Hopefully not Crash Bandicoot
WHY
Rex: *complians about not being in Smash*
Sakurai: ...y'all here summ...?
Who else just loved the bits where he was like
“Who’s your crush~?”
Me!
When?
Weebs
JOHN CENA!!!!
Sakurai literally asked with a straight face “Who’s your waifu?” What a legend.
When?
@@Clozent 2:35
not really a straight face but yeah
Who's your waifu
Me: Zero suit samus
My gay mindset really said: Both
It’s time
See you in three days!
Here to claim my "here before verified person's comment explodes" internet points.
here before this comment blows up :)
Really looking forward to seeing what kinds of crazy swapping combos we can get with these characters!

As A Ness Main I Find This Relatable
"P8 is Gold and Silver,
You could also say it's Platinum."
Hey, that sounds familiar...
Wow it's almost like gold, silver, and platinum are all ores discovered several hundreds of years before a game used them as titles.

Garchomp confirmed.

"I keep figurines of unreleased fighters in a lock drawer"
You gettin' real bold with the last two characters left Sakurai.
Probably left a Post-it with “haha” written on it in the empty drawer
@@d_mon9631 Or maybe a post it with the massage: "Fool!" 😂
I imagine there's, like, 30 figurines in there of every single request he's gotten over the years.
Either that, or just a single Waluigi statue with a tear drawn on it.
Reimu figurine?
Hopefully there is a crash statue in there
I could just feel the sadness when he said:
“No one here can laugh at my jokes”
His jokes are sad, so that's appropriate
@@crussteasock4047 You must be really upset your character didn't get in
@@veryconfusedidiot he probably wanted waluigi or something
@@captainpep3 yup. *anything* but another boring swordy
@@crussteasock4047 I guess we didn’t watch the same sakurai presents because this ain’t no regular swordie
"These...ahh..incredibly well done..*wipes sweat off brow* figures.."
"Yes......*looks at feet* very detailed..."
Me: hey! Them legs doe
*kurosensei voice*
We thought we had the ultimate sword with Sephiroth's inclusion but we didn't realized we needed the literally humanized swords, that's a whole new level.
Sakurai: "I'm not gonna spoil the game. So anyway here's a Pneuma color."
Some part of me thought that was a Miku color 😂
I mean he did that with Byleth as well.
I mean without context it isn't that much of a spoiler really.
As someone who wants to eventually pick up XB 2 once I'm done with the original, I'm pleased by this decision.
People who haven't played xb2 don't know who pneuma is, so yeah no spoilers.
"Kirbys attacks do more damage than the original" Obviously, its his boy!
That's what I'm saying!
54:35
@Gamer Baner Did you not watch the whole presentation?
KIRB MAINS UNITE!!!
@@OMORIDAILYNEWS fellow Kirby main here. Hopefully Kirby gets some buffs today
8:55 “Gives them a villainous look.”
Is literally just Ryuko.
KAMUI SENKETSU!

No, you mean the spirits for Pneuma and Rex in his Master Driver form are censored in order to avoid spoilers from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

It's probably gonna get deleted like all the other livestream tbh, it's gonna be replaced with a much shorter one
You are a good person. Thank you.

Sakurai: I will not spoil the artwork and the Xenoblade Chonicles 2 game
Also Sakurai: Spoils what happen to Rex and the name of the censored spirit
Sakurai: Spoiling the entirety of Xenoblade since 2014
LMAO
"Censored spirit"? What do you mean?
@@Zack-2-Attack watch the video
tbf its really hard for those to be spoilers without knowing the context
i smiled when he said " ill spam moves if i have to"
42 minutes of Sakurai explaining why his waifu is better than yours.
42 minutes of boobas
The fabled Waifu wars a tale as old as time.
jokes on him, shes ALSO my waifu.
42? Where's the other 5 minutes you're adding from?
But they are my waifus too how dare he claim them

Sakurai saying “I like Pyra as a fighter” is the Equivalent to your crush saying “ I like you as a friend”
lol
Rex likes Nia as a fighter
It's equivalent for me as being glad I didn't pay for the pass.
Sakurai likes her, and all you guys
pyra got friendzoned
or shall i say...
*fighterzoned*
Whos here when they havent cropped the waiting time out yet
here
I'm here just for the waiting time
Yes

FACT: Mario didn't die cause Sakurai didn't write the script.
Wait this actually makes sense. Too much sense, even
Lol, that explains everything. At least Mario gets a break from dying. We all know he's really going to die on March 31st, lol.
You mean write?
But he’s about to at the end of the month.
Why is it that comments with misspelled words get more likes but someone with proper grammar gets none? Think about this
I hope sakurai does a video where he destroys everybody in quick play.
“I need to use more specials.”
Every Ness Player,
“Finally! A worthy opponent! Our battle will be legendary!”

Mad lad
Prayers, blessings, and best wishes to you, Mr. Sakurai, your family, your staff, your medical professionals, and your countrie's population for the incredible outbreak during the pandemic. While I enjoy each new character release video, safety of another person is what hits my mind the most. Take care. Looking forward to what you have next.

Darth ball yea lol. I wish the game would’ve had a better Mc. Would’ve made the story a little bit more enjoyable.
Can’t wait for people to say they saw a figure of a character through a crack in his drawer and know the next fighter

"no one here to laugh at my jokes."
it's ok mr sakurai, we, your loyal fans are here to provide the laughter.
When did he say that
“As a fighter, of course.”
*straightens tie and clears throat*
Proceeds to repeat
Ah, I see that Sakurai-san is a man of culture. Also a Pyra main
Imagine you go in the locked drawer in his office and there's just a letter from The Phantom thieves addressed to you. 💌
"A simple duo like Ice Climbers"?
Mr Sakurai, you are far too pure for this world. You know not what atrocities that pair has been made to commit.
Oh i think he knows very well. Hes just in denial
I think that only proves his point. After seeing what two Ice Climbers are capable of with simple hammer attacks, having two characters at once with the complexity shown here would definitely break the game, both balance-wise and the actual programming too, in a situation where there are 16 of them fighting at once.
