[edit] Stub

I created a stub that doesn't use publicly available info. I'm new to wikipedia, so I might have messed up the style, though I tried to follow the guidelines. Forgive me if it looks too bad. Eric Herboso 21:06, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Images

There is concern in regard to the cropped version of the image. Let's not revert until we have reached an agreement. The cropping omits the portrait's balanced trim; Darkoneko of course means well, but we're settling for less by altering this. Furthermore, it creates senseless empty space above Sakurai to accomodate for height of a person who isn't there. Until there is another up-to-date image of this man, my Wikipedian judgement says we leave it. Red Wirehat 12:12, 15 Jan 2007 (UTC)

As I am the individual who originally posted the new picture, I kind of feel obligated to state my input on this. I don't particularly care whether it's cropped or not, I just thought more info and a caption, ala Miyamoto's picture, might be nice. I have more pictures of Sakurai from that time, and a higher resolution version of that same picture, with which I could likely make a decent portrait of Masahiro Sakurai himself if it is required?KirbyPopStar 3:05, 20 Jan 2007 (UTC-8) [PST]

[edit] Online Criticism

It is a valid point to note heavy criticisms that are going on in online communities. So YES, message boards are a valid source for "online communities". Stop trying to block information that you don't like. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.195.185.178 (talk) 00:38, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't think it's necessarily criticism of Sakurai specifically but about Brawl. I don't think it belongs in his article, it belongs in the Brawl article (if at all). I move to move the info over to the Brawl talk section and then see what to do about it there DRaGZ (talk) 08:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I can't see that as viable, as the importance is in his lack of response to the criticisms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.195.185.178 (talk) 09:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

How can you cite a lack of response? All you cited was complaints from fans on boards. That's it. Then there was an extra line about Sakurai not responding, but there's nothing to substantiate it as a line whatsoever. Theoretically, on that point, you could say that about anyone who never responded to anything, as long as you could cite the complaints. DRaGZ (talk) 08:47, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] contact

sorry for a non-article question, but do any of you know how to contact Sakurai? Email? Letter? Psychic hotline? (70.60.123.120 01:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC))

Try a ouija board, Powerslave (talk-contribs) 17:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I've tried that, it didn't work. I've also tried screaming really hard so he could hear me...didn't work. Ah well...woe is me. I wanted to talk with this genius called Sakruai. (Zojo 23:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC))

Ouija boards are bogus. Don't use them. Besides, why would you want to talk to him? (dogman15 (talk) 05:04, 26 November 2007 (UTC))
Why WOULDN'T you want to talk with Sakurai? Evan1109 (talk) 20:55, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] we need protection

seriously. TheWarlock (talk) 07:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. This has gotten out of hand. Azuran (talk) 07:33, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I don't agree with this. Who cares about the protection? It's probably true... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.67.194.21 (talk) 07:35, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's just the attitude Wikipedia needs. Go back to Gaia or GameFaqs or whereever it is you're coming from, fuckwad. TheWarlock (talk) 07:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah I just made an account to stop the editing. These guys are really annoying. I used to be on the GameFaqs forum until I got tired of how annoying it got. On behalf of Gamefaqs I'd just like to say sorry.--Guy in a floppy green cap (talk) 07:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Listen, there are always going to be jerks, there's no need to get upset since you'll just encourage stuff like this. I personally took it with a light heart and thought it was funny. -Marioandli

But you see it's the reason the why they did it. They just got mad at the fact that Brawl's release in America was moved back to the end of time. Trust me, I would give anything to have Brawl in my hand right now, but what those vandals did was just unacceptable.

Not all Gamefaqs people are bad. Besides, the game is overhyped to the point a delay made even me angry. -Marioandli

It's true, eBaums World is a bunch of idiots. Plus, Japan gets it a month before us? Argh. Anyways, eBaums World is bad. Also,Who the hell made my post better? NiVoMi (talk) 00:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

—Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.251.227.64 (talk) 08:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I knew it was ridiculous when the vandals was edit waring about how to vandalize the article, but screwing with the talk page posts? Even after seeing the article vandalism, I thought people where more mature than that.--Henke37 (talk) 10:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow... You guys act as if it's the first time you ever see vandalism. Just handle it and live with it.Themat21III (talk) 00:43, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

I can deal with vandalism, but they over-reacted. And yeah GameFaqs has some intelligent life out there. But it's really hard to find.--Guy in a floppy green cap (talk) 07:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow, I make two posts DEFENDING Gfaqs users,and it gets shifted to something about EbaumsWorld? Sigh...that's what I get for trying to be gay. -Marioandli

[edit] His speech mannerisms

I don't know if that's how he speaks, or just how it's translated, but I think it needs to be mentioned. Because it's brilliant. --Wifidelity (talk) 10:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

He doesn't actually talk like that. Only in the games, it seems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fourange (talk • contribs) 10:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism, eh?

I go to GameFaqs a lot, but trust me, I know exactly what you guys are talking about. A bunch of users who are into the Captain falcon fads and OVER 9000!!, right? I get flamed when I call them stupid. You can't really stop them...

Psh. What did they do?Fourange (talk) 10:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, now they're going gaga over the recent revelation that he voiced King Dedede. — NES Boy (talk) 10:31, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
