What is this expression trying to convey?

WAKEY WAKEY WAGIE WAGIE

contempt for his audience, he just wants to add more anime swordsmen but nintendo won't let him

>fuck this guy for spending hundreds of hours perfecting content added to his game and going above and beyond in literally almost everything he does
i hope you at least wiped the cheeto dust off your fingers before you typed that post

he's seen the shitposts

"What the fuck is even happening to my game at this point?"

they forced me to ruin my game... again

user... do you think he has a choice in the matter? Lol. Please. He is just a tool and someone else is using him. He has no say in it.

Its an expression of pain

Defeat and slight disgust.

he said previously that he and his team select from a pool of candidates

he chose to include the damn default minecraft character with its ugly ass fucking placeholder graphics

"im only doing it for the money im nintendos prisoner"

He explained very clearly that he tried many times to reject Steve, but Nintendo wasn't taking no for an answer.

Get fucked Banjoke

He flat out said he’s rejected character requests from Nintendo before so if he agreed to Steve it’s because he actually likes Minecraft, he even showed stuff he built. I think he’s tired more then anything.

thats the look of a man who's been making the same fucking game for 10 years and wants to move on

>nooo you can't criticize sakurai-sama for putting shitty paid DLC in the game nooooo
lick my butt and balls

>X works hard so you have to like what they do
Sorry buddy but that's not how things work.

>I feel so bad for Sakurai. He's clearly exhausted, frustrated, overworked, and underappreciated.
He’s not underpaid. Sora is owned by him and even though he outsources the game to bamco, he still gets royalties on top of the millions he gets from the game

>he said previously that he and his team select from a pool of candidates
And he said in this video that he turned down Steve. Then Nintendo came back and strongarmed him into it.

He's dead inside.

Pretty accurate

We all should have known something was up when he lead into fighter pass 2 by explicitly stating he didn't make the fighter picks this time.

Were you even listening? He said he rejected Steve multiple times and all the artwork shown on the screen wasn't his because he only plays survival

'Nintendo bosses told me to put a fucking pixel blockman in my videogame, which was a fucking headache, I'm glad i'm done with it'

He's upset he can't add another fire emblem moeshit character.

>this time
he never picked both

Yeah man I'm sure porting Smash 4 to the Switch and washing out the colors was really exhausting.

I'm fucking breaking my copy of Smash Ultimate and never playing this piece of shit again. I cannot fucking believe that stupid chink faggot Sakurai added some dumb fucking Minecraft literal who nobody into the game when they could have added an actual character from an actual franchise. Geno would have been the best decision that Sakurai would have made but no, he wanted to listen to fucking gay fucking Zoomers from Nintendo because Zig Forums starts memeing of Steve to being in Smash. You guys are all a bunch of fucking losers begging for stupid shit Sakurai should have never touched in the first place but keep going though because you fags have no lives and will probably beg Trump to be in the next Smash reveal. Get some fucking lives mother fucker and beg for something else in Smash. I will never be playing another fucking Smash game in my life what a waste of fucking oxygen you fucking retarded ass faggots. I just snapped the disc in half to prove I am fucking done. Go fuck yourself and everyone else who fucking begged this stupid little faggot ass in Smash. Fuck you. All of you

Ofc he will say that. If minecraft shoves money his way do you think he will refuse? He even said that they HAD TO REDESIGN ALL LEVELS/MAPS and it was a huge programming endeavour to do this. Why the fuck would he accept it? He wouldn't. He straight up was forced to do it.

Except Sakurai fucking loves minecraft.

What did he mean by this?

Dude should just let someone else work on it so he can work on new IPs that are less stressful.
But I guess he doesn't want anyone else to touch his baby.

Remember the last time he got to do a game that wasn't Smash? It seemed like it came from a place of pure passion and love.

>the "forced by nintendo" narrative
>on the guy who literally has massive structures in a hard mode

Being held at gunpoint by off-screen nintendo execs so he adds a character he has no passion or desire for.

>perfecting content added to his game and going above and beyond in literally almost everything he does
and yet he STILL CAN'T JUST MAKE A FUCKING TOGGLE FOR STAGE HAZARDS

>sakurai has been apologizing for steve since the beginning
Poor guy.

His facial expressions tell you everything about his state of mind.

How the fuck don't people know Sakurai likes minecraft when he constantly wrote about it?

That he's dead and is just a zombie

see

>Sakurai enthused about getting to add Terry
>flash forward much later and he looks like he just wants to die revealing Steve

Wonder how bad the other 3 reveals are going to be since he's already looking annoyed at this point.

He can't die if he's already dead dumbass

He had to have picked Terry. Sakurai is the only person on earth who cares that much about SNK.

he was talking about the guy from nintendo requesting steve pushing up his glasses and shit, it was so funny. the utter contempt

and...? he literally spells it out that it's because you can't just add a character without taking other technicalities

basically one thing those "make a smash moveset" faggots like to miss

Aren’t there 4 more?

And inmediately after that he said Nintendo came to his office with the pls understand face

Immeasurable disappointment in himself that he gave in to Stevefags now that he sees what hell he has unleashed.

>terry reveal
>hell yeah, let's talk about terry, let's talk about SNK, I brought a neo geo with me, it all started back in 1994 when I first found KoF, it was in an arcade in shinjuku and

>steve reveal
>h-here he is, nintendo sure wanted it so we did our best... enjoy...

>People are going to hate me for doing this, but its a slightly technical challenge, so I might as well get it over with and get some free publicity out of it as well, so I have something to do so I don't go insane being stuck in my own home for half a year
That's literally the only reasoning I can think of to do this.

Yeah we get the reference too you fucking idiot

Sakurai seems like a nice guy who is passionate and hard working. Why is everyone so mean to him?

No. If he wanted his way, we'd get Iori or Ryo. It's literally spelled out for you.

WHO? FUCKING WHO!? Give us their name!

Seething

Fortnite, Project Diva, Pokémon and Waluigi are surely next. He just might kill himself.

A fuckton of work for a character they dont even want to add

It can't be helped, he's too busy playing Minecraft while working on Smash.

This feels surreal. Like, none of it seems real.
The characters look like poorly made model swaps and the promotional artwork is just a tilted screen and blurry filter away from being "totally real legitz leaks guys!" tier.
It's just, eh. Is minecraft even popular with kids now?

Everything about this feels like a low-quality "leak" you'd see in 2015.

That whole first bit was “don’t look at me this wasn’t my idea” lol

He's going to go into depth in two days

SEND
HELP
Then he tells a story about being forced by executives to make stuff.

I don't know Minecraft music. What song is remixed in the trailer?

He's done it, this last paycheck has cost him his soul

It's no more different than how GW animates user

Don't be stupid, looking over at the stuff that Sakurai made in Minecraft, you can tell he loves it.

>tfw you worked so hard and rose up the ranks only to be forced to make shitty dlc that wont sell for a game no one plays anymore until you retire

um Banjo made it dumbass?

Gosh, look at this incredible render. Really gets you pumped up and ready to fight!

I can almost accept it for 2010’s nostalgia, but I never played Minecraft.

>we're literally at the "sakurai actually minecraft" phase

He definitely seemed more excited about Byleth and Min Min.
Or maybe it's just the lockdowns getting to him.

the dude has an unrivaled passion for video games as whole, besides he is the one to clear the character it's his own fault for saying yes

Yes Minecraft never stopped being popular

Man, he's starting to reach that point where the years just catch up to Asians almost all at once instead of slowly.

Smash is such a joke lmao
Remember when it was for Nintendo IPs?

we'll see his true thoughts then

he hated every minute of it the good news is i didnt buy fighter pass 2 yet because of this exact reason and him saying he didnt choose the characters if you bought it because HYPE XD you basically told sakurais handlers hes wrong

And he has no crowd to play off of. Probably takes a lot of the fun out of his recording sessions.

His job is to please manchildren....thats a pretty fucking depressing career

Did you even watch the fucking reveal video you moron? Or are you too dumb to read subtitles?

We have none to blame but ourselves for making joke picks.

Can't wait for default Fortnite man!

He's still attractive, though.

I'll never understand this game's longevity. It bored me when I tried to play it years ago. Could never get into Terraria either.
