Masahiro Sakurai Was Initially Unaware Smash Bros. Ultimate Won Best Fighting Game At The Game Awards
Masahiro Sakurai, the creator of Super Smash Bros., seems to be initially unaware that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate won the best fighting game award at The Game Awards 2019.
According to a tweet, Sakurai was working when the announcement was made, so he didn’t know until a couple of hours later. Here’s what he said:
The Game Awardsにて、『スマブラSP』がBest Fighting Game賞をいただいたそうです。ありがとうございます!
なお、私はその瞬間、バリバリ仕事中でした。 https://t.co/Bu8QbswCkT
