On Incineroar:
“I’ve always wanted to make a pro-wrestling character! He’s voiced by Unsho Ishizuka. He recorded new lines just for this game. Again, we pray that his soul may rest in peace.”
On Ken:
“While he may have a lot that is different from Ryu, there are players who are sensitive to the frame. Please think of him as mostly a bonus Echo Fighter.
On amiibo launches:
“It takes about a year after making the prototype for its release, so please forgive us for the wait.”
Trophy Removals:
“That was decided early on. I wanted to split the workforce more for other things. They required a lot more work than what people might think.”
Spirits Implementation:
“It’ll be easier to understand after playing. We’ll summarize the project designs after release.”
Online Matchmaking:
“The game is completely synchronized. Distance (between players) is a top deciding factor.”
VIP/Elite Matches:
“The true game for advanced players, where they won’t run into beginners and can brag about being placed among other merits.”
Piranha Plant DLC:
“Will be available about a month or two after release.”
Going Gold:
“I’d like to write more about Adventure Mode if given the opportunity. The ROM is already complete.”
