    If your theory is true then Maybe Kirby survived because sakurai already saved him. By refusing to make more Kirby games he saved Kirby and kept him as he was meant to be.

      Yeah why would he let on of his very first creation be destroyed his “spark” that started all of this and I hate ppl who say “of course Kirby survived” and it’s not bc Sakurai favored him over everyone else he wanted to show that this character is the TRUE symbol of Nintendo (sry I got carried away)

    • @VileKaizer
      @VileKaizer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +537

      @@Zefrath More the true symbol of what he believes a character should be. You never really see the Kirby fandom discussion becoming violent or overwhelmingly negative, and it's because they understand the childlike wonder behind the character and see no need to question things tirelessly. Unlike most other characters in this game who, well... debate tends to stir over every little thing from their respective series. Great pick for the lone survivor, in my opinion.

    Honestly, this is really sad to hear. But also in a way, sweet. He saved his own creations and I love the fact Kirby survived since Kirby was basically the start of Sakurai's career. This theory is great and probably accurate. Solid video.

  • @hoodiepen
    @hoodiepen 3 ปีที่แล้ว +617

    This theory really makes sense as you play as Kirby in the beginning of the World of Light story mode. Kirby could also represent Sakurai (I mean it would be funny if you start playing as the Master Hand in this mode) as it was his creation--the beginning of successes in his game development career--and his embodiment of Kirby would be a catalyst in saving the soulless crossover of characters and thus would be a "celebration" of these franchises, as Matpat stated.

    • @TheWeedIsland
      @TheWeedIsland 2 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      If this is true then the placement of fighters and Spirits in World of Light's painting-like world map could represent Sakurai's personal feelings on them, because to me a lot of them appear deliberately placed, perhaps especially in the Dark World.

If Galeem represents corporate interests and Sephiroth makes his big entrance by slicing it in half, I can draw multiple parallels to how much of a pain Sakurai claims getting 9 cues with him was despite Reggie's claim that they had never been turned down for a character being in Smash, even if the most immediate parallel is to him killing Shinra's namesake president

    @FlamingFox911 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1740

    Wow. That was a heavy theory, and I hate to admit that Masahiro Sakurai is absolutely right. I get that fans are crazy and they want more, I absolutely get how corporations want to churn out more of the same content (with a fresh coat of paint) just to satisfy the customers and/or get rich. But I don't think there is a reasonable way of going about this. Nowadays, creativity is risk. Making one bad call can turn the backs of multiple fans and shareholders. Until such a time where consumers are receptive to more creativity, or until the demands of shareholders lessen to allow for more freedom of design, I don't think we will EVER reach the "true ending". Thank you, MatPat (and The Completionist), for making this theory. I think this is a wake up call to the current gaming industry, especially with all the recent drama from Blizzard, EA, Bethesda, and so on.

    it probably even follow up for the dlcs, being chronologically before the end of adventure mode, as they're characters added to the game merely by company and fanbase demand, no wonder hero and sephiroth trailers had dharkon/galeen respectively, but the fact that sephiroth straight up kills galeen doesn't add up, maybe it's chronologically the last one or one of the last ones, only before sora (since in sora's trailer it even ends the fiery smash logo that represented the start of it since the first trailer), and sephiroth just dealt the final blow on galeen, as in the start of the trailer we can see that it's a different moment from the start of adventure mode, with the characters hurt and galeem still having their army of master hands without using the blackhole attack, so it's probably during the true final battle of the game right after we defeated dharkon and all that was left was the final hit on galeem...

He even bent the laws of nature by conquering the beast Disney and getting Sora for us in Smash. As a fan of Smash I surely hope for a new entry anytime in the future but I hope Sakurai will be either not involved so he finally gets his wish or that he comes back but only if he himself desides to.

    I've got a lot of respect for this man Sakurai. He's a smart game developer who is always proud of what he creates and doesn't want to succumb to greed and money like other American game companies who exploit their creations for a profit. Yet he's still tied to all of what he despises with the threat of his creations being lost to the people who want what he has. He's a bit of a tragic Hero of sorts. A good guy. He's an inspiration to me.

    We must do what the meme says and never ask Sakurai far anything else, seriously tho if anyone at Nintendo is reading this give Sakurai a freaking break he is basicly killing himself to make these games and you go as far as to threaten his franchise at one point just so he can make another game. I think we can all agree at this point that Sakurai definetly earned a break.

      X Xx If One person could like a comment more than once, I’d sit here for 5 minutes spamming that button. I agree with you, a full 100%, that Sakurai deserves a break. The anguish he must’ve felt while working on games that he wanted to be the last in the series was, and is still weighing on him heavily. The struggle was visible the whole time in the games themselves... we just needed to put the pieces together. And don’t get me started on that E3 conference, Nintendo, or I’ll friggin lose my cool so fast, you’d think I’d live in a desert!

    and the fans just keep on demanding and demanding that it just gets worse and worse
    until finally, it kills Mario.
