It's (OSTENSIBLY?!) a joke, but man. I love it when unnecessarily smart people discuss this stuff. It's like watching a puppy but instead of them being utterly useless because they're baby animals, they're utterly useless because they're more intelligent than you.

It is, at least, a good example in how to properly construct an argument. The only logical hole is that one of the Smash Bros bosses necessarily has to become playable, when you consider the continuum of possible playables out there.

Well, and the whole thing about Kirby bosses being equivalent to Smash Bros bosses.

What's even better is the OP's reply to the first comment.

So who else thinks they're going to have some kind of exhibition match with Sakurai at the end of the tournament, possibly with a new character?

I'm thinking it would be pretty adorable, but I don't have enough Statistics mana to conjure a prediction.

[up][up]I certainly hope so. If for no other reason than I want to see how good Sakurai is at his own game. tongue

Based on a photo from last E3, he can play with two controllers at once.

That Ridley post was funny, if nothing else. The prime example of the Smash fandom's tendency to overthink everything.

Considering Sakurai's hand injuries, I sadly doubt he could fight at his best.

I wanted to choose a quote, but there was so many I couldn't choose.

Is Sakurai even that good at playing Fighting games, anyway?

He was apparently a competitive Street Fighter II player in his youth, or something like that.

But these days, with his half-destroyed wrists, probably not.

I sure said that!

If he plays as a previously unseen character he might be able to make up for that since the opponent will have no clue what he can hit them with.

So, Chrom's final smash would be a single-target cinemaic where he professes his love, and the opponent takes damagee out of sheer joy/shock.

Anyway, this means little. They wouldn't need to contact him for new lines; not if they could mine them from Awakening itself.

Or he lied. If Chrom is in I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be allowed to say that he's voicing Chrom before his reveal.

So this means Lucina has a slightly better chance?

He might not even be Chrom's final voice actor(or he was lying to protect who's int he game. Kind of a normal thing to do). I say this has no real effect on the actual game at all.

Shadow?

As much as I would love to believe that this is a huge blow to Chrom's chances, it changes nothing. If he's in the game, Mercer would not have said so, so of course he could be lying.
