Masahiro Sakurai has worked himself to near death since the first Super Smash Bros. game. In the Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct on November 1st, 2018, he jokingly said “When will I ever get a break?” I and many other believe this joke should become a reality. After he is satisfied with the development of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, he should get a 3+ month vacation, with pay so as not to worry about income for his family. Not only does he deserve this, he needs it to stay healthy. Working on this series has aged him faster than he should have, and that’s only the surface of what’s kind of negative benefits it’s had on him. Please give the man a break.
