The main poster shared some more insight in the comments section and said “Watching his videos, I’ve never gotten the impression he wants to retire or leave the Smash series in the hands of anyone else.” This shows that the original poster is a fan of Sakurai and tries to understand what the dev is thinking when it comes to the future of the game.
