It's good to know that the game is in good hands (although Kobayashi's credits are meh at best).

My only concern comes from the Tekken staff: Tekken is not like Smash Bros. Will they be able to change the way they make fighting games? Let's hope Sakurai can make it.

Btw, if the director/producer of Tales as well as the main development team staff of Tekken are involved in this project, does it mean that the next Tales and Tekken games are going to suck?

Umm...they can work on more than one project you know.

The Tales team can, it's "only" the producer and the director of the series that is involved in Smash, and as such he han do both things. The thing is that when you do 2 things at the same time you can make mistakes that otherwise you wouldn't.

But I'm not so sure about the Tekken team. The people involved in Smash are the main development team. They are the guys that make the games, so if Namco wants to do another Tekken game, it will be done by the B team.
