Sakurai when designing Kazuya in Ultimate

This is rare footage of Sakurai in 2021 designing Kazuya as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

This video is a PARODY, I do not claim nor own any of the brands and/or characters presented.

Sakurai is damn well making sure he never loses during his lunch room breaks ever again

[hamajineo]

i love how sakurai sounds so calm yet so angry at the same time

[Burdboy]

Just to clarify, Kazuya not only has a reflector, but HE HAS THE STRONGEST REFLECTOR IN THE DAMN GAME

[felipedestickman]

"Trust me... THIS IS MY VISION!"

[rafaelblackman]

Kazuya is “Yeah, he needs that” the character.

[MKsomething_]

“But that’s just lucario”
“Let’s make it red, now it’s different”
Ah yes, same logic as echo fighters

[Arcademan]

Sakurai's QA department is just himself
"Dude just trust me"
- Sakurai's notes to himself

[navybluemagic]

The words of Sakuri
*”Now that I think about..”*
*”What
*”Yes”*
*”Im not done yet”*

[noa_]

Masahiro Sakurai: "I wish to personally beat the shit out of every single person who plays my game. But sadly I cannot. Therefore, I created Kazuya and the Kazuya AI in order to do it for me."

Let's keep in mind that Bowser:
- has super armor in half of his moves
- has tough guy
- has invincible in his Forward Smash
- has a kill throw
- has a Shield Break
And still isn't comparable enough

[albertwirawan]

"Give him a kill throw"

"a kill throw ?"

"Not just a kill throw, give him 4 kill throws..."

[thealientree]

Kazuya is basically Hero, but instead of having many Specials, he has many Normals.

[sasgo]

"So, Sakurai, we gave him a shield break what could he possibly–"
"You're absolutely right. Let's give him another one but it's a tilt this time."

[oneasiangirl]

“You wanna make half of his moves have super armor, and the other half” *title card*

[Pixelusually]

He starts sounding like a rivals of aether custom character half way through

[miningpixel]

Sakurai designing Kazuya: “one day, I heard a voice from the heavens”

[Phantomgalaxy]

Fun fact I learned recently: Sakurai is BFFs with Harada, the guy in charge of Tekken. So basically, Sakurai is being a homie for his bestie and making sure his homie's OC is OP.

[SPeetah]

Fun fact: Kazuya's reflector has a multiplier of 2.24x which makes it the best reflector in the game

[firesoul]

"he needs four down tilt variants, make one of them a better version of Ryu and Ken's focus"

[ExceedRed]

Kazuya is literally

“DLC Character, the DLC Character”
