Couldnt be farther from the truth.
1. Sakurai has said in 3-4 interviews that he does not like competition.
2. He openly listens to the casual players and ignore competitive players. They said "melee is too fast" and he took care of that in brawl. The game is MUCH slower than melee.
3. I dont know how familiar you are with competitive brawl but Metaknight has been deemed the best character for 5 years now 9the full life span of brawl) and his tournament results/money earned proves it........who created/owned the character "metaknight?" SAKURAI.
4. In an interview about a year ago, Sakurai admitted he "balanced" every single one of the characters.
The point of me bringing this up is to help you/me/everyone that Sakurai does what HE (and anybody who supports his stance on competition) wants. It might be different this time around with ssb4 because Namco is helping develope the game AND sakurai has something seriously wrong with his wrist so he isnt allowed to do as much work as he once could.
