Overview
- Katsuhiro Harada posted a long Twitter thread praising Masahiro Sakurai and calling him “a Saiyan who genuinely believes he’s just another ordinary human.”
- Harada shared a brief anecdote where Sakurai offered a simple, Goku‑like solution—'why don’t you just fly'—to illustrate Sakurai’s habit of offering instinctive fixes when others struggle.
- The praise recalls the pair’s direct work on Kazuya Mishima’s entry into Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, where Harada said Sakurai arrived having studied Tekken and made confident design calls without many questions.
- Coverage stresses that this is personal admiration rather than news of a new project, and no official announcements about Sakurai’s future work were made in Harada’s post.
- The exchange highlights how public comments from industry peers and social media shape fan views of top developers and reinforce the reputations of collaborative partners like Sora Ltd and Bandai Namco.
