Meta Hello all, Samox here - creator of The Smash Brothers documentary mini-series - AMA!

This is my first AMA since the release of the documentary series. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend the remastered version with enhanced audio - The Smash Brothers.

I'll be back to start answering questions at 3pm EST. Until then, enjoy this special treat - one of the extra content pieces I've been working on for the donors: Stubborn Jigglypuff

EDIT: Okay - I'm gonna go eat food. I'll be back in an hour to answer more questions! EDIT2: Back! Answering more questions. EDIT 3: OKAY! Done for now. If I drink a little more, I may have Badlarry and Gamesbest get on here, but I think I'm spent. Check my twitter: https://twitter.com/_samox_ or website: www.eastpointpictures.com for updates on future projects or the youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/EastPointPictures for more stuff. LOVE YOU ALL. I'LL TALK TO YOU AGAIN SOON. MORE TO COME! :P

I know of Spanish and Japanese subtitle initiatives. I would definitely endorse any effort you'd want to do. :)

Yeah this thing needs to be translated into every language possible! I think the Japanese version should be prioritized the most so Nintendo/Sakurai can actually understand what's going on. I'm sure they, even Sakurai, are aware of it already, but the language barrier is probably one of the few reasons as to why they haven't watched it yet.

Imagine how much this documentary can affect the future for the game and community? It already seems to be one of the main reasons as to why MLG wants to pick up the game again, and it seems like Nintendo even wants to cooperate this time. Perhaps it could even change some design philosophy on the next Smash Bros... probably not Smash 4 because it is already so deep into development, but if it did affect it for the better that would be awesome!!

Honestly this documentary was so necessary for people to understand why the community is so important, especially with the huge resurgence in exposure thanks to Evo 2013. It seems like the planets are almost perfectly aligned for us right now and a lot of that positioning is mainly due to your hard work, so thank you so much for making this!! I know a lot of other people have said it already, but I'll just add my signature to the list and say that if you start another crowdfunding campaign, I will be one of the many who will support you!
