Characters Sakurai Finds Interesting
Alright, I’ve seen the list floating around in God knows how many forums and I never paid much attention to it. However, I’ve found that too many people don’t understand it. So, I will explain here exactly what it is.
Now, what is this list, you ask? It’s a few of the characters that Japanese readers asked for to be in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This is something everyone understands. It is not a list of characters Sakurai is considering to put into Super Smash Bros. Brawl. And that’s something very few people seem to understand.
What is the list for and why has it found its ways to circulation, you ask? We do not know. Sakurai gave no reason for publishing those e-mails on the website. They could be random, they could be because he found them interesting, they could be because he found them funny. Whatever the reason, it’s very foolish to think it’s because he’s going to put them in the game. I hope I’ve cleared some stuff up for those of you who were confused!
