Sakurai is a strange man. He needs to lighten up on himself and his team. Brawl showed many signs of strain -- it had an insane amount of features but at the same time felt rushed and unpolished.
> “Some people made a modification of Brawl and now think that they’re better than me. I dare them to say that to my face. I’ll have a real brawl with them and show them that their little mod means nothing in the grand scheme of things. All they can do is make one of my games more like one of my other games. And when my new game comes out, everyone will stop playing their little project and play with a real game.”
Wow, take some humble pie. Isn't it enough that Nintendo's draconian DRM restraints mean that the thousands of kids who enjoy modifying your legally purchased game are all breaking the law? Just to play with their toys in a way that they can be creative designers rather than just content consumers?

There are several popular projects that changed the game mechanics to make the game more fun for some players: http://www.ssbwiki.com/Brawl%2B http://www.ssbwiki.com/Brawl- http://www.ssbwiki.com/Project_M http://www.ssbwiki.com/Balanced_Brawl are the main ones. Sakurai seems to take this as a personal attack. I think it's fantastic. Not to mention all the hundreds of character and level mods, and other game fixes people enjoy.
