  I was really wondering why the Steve bit near the end but then it made so much sense

  I like that the absence of Mewtwo and Lucario implies Nintendo didn't tell Sakurai that they were Pokemon. Like I can literally see him (them?) saying that they are from Fire Emblem of something.

  Man, even Sakurai forgot that Lucario was in the game. Don’t blame him honestly.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-EgIHeo7Uw&amp;t=458">7:38</a> never noticed this and it makes me sad... I have to play so different around Steve as Charizard. Turns out it&apos;s just another pokemon punishment.

  Nintendo: Actually, can you add <i>one</i> more Pokemon to Melee?<br>Sakurai: Nah, I don&apos;t wanna.<br>Nintendo: How about a character from Mother then?<br>Sakurai: Alright. Who?<br>Nintendo: Giegue, from Mother 1. Here&apos;s a picture of him!<br>Sakurai: Hmm... This kinda looks like that Mewtwo thing. Are you trying to trick me?<br>Nintendo: No...?<br>Sakurai: Alrighty, I&apos;ll get right on it.

  &quot;Hey, let&apos;s add Mewtwo to the game since it&apos;s REALLY popular!&quot;<br><br>&quot;ok, we&apos;ll make him have a giant hurtbox but also make him be one of the lightest characters in the game even though it&apos;s supposed to weigh like a hundred <s>pounds</s> kilos&quot;<br><br>&quot;...why are you like this&quot;

  Sakurai being evil with Jack black with a crafting table, gives other characters attack options to go past the crafting table except for pokemon
