<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/super-smash-bros-ultimate-for-switch-announced-at-e3-2018/">Super Smash Bros. Ultimate</a>&#8216;s roster is one of the largest crossovers we could ever see in a video game of this caliber. However, the endless demand for more and more characters never seems to end. It&#8217;s no secret that many sub-communities which demand the appearance of a particular character have appeared since the concept of third-party DLC characters was announced.</p>
<p>While it is nice to speculate about which character should appear in Smash Bros. next, it can get draining for the game&#8217;s developers to hear <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/06/super_smash_bros_fans_are_harassing_masahiro_sakurai_over_waluigi_snub" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">people shouting a character&#8217;s name for the 20,000th time</a>. The Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada has seriously had enough of this kind of behavior and has quite recently vented his frustration on Twitter.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">You guys are a spammer. I talk with Mr.Sakurai &; BandaiNamco&#39;s Smash development team so that your request will NOT be approved as much as possible.</p>
<p>And *Muted* bye.</p>

<p>The industry veteran had a small rant on social media this morning, accusing several Twitter users of being &#8220;spammers&#8221;, making a point of muting them, and going on to say that he&#8217;ll be personally talking to Smash director Masahiro Sakurai to make sure their requests aren&#8217;t approved. As such, perhaps we can make the case about how Jonesy from Fortnite has just been de-confirmed.</p>
<p><a href="https://bagogames.com/harada-requesting-localization-project-zon/">Harada</a> went on to talk about why this kind of &#8220;Spamming&#8221; bothered him so much:</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">If you are still relentlessly spamming, that just means hampering the work of <a href="https://twitter.com/Sora_Sakurai?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Sora_Sakurai</a> and Bandai Namco&#39;s Smash development team. <br />Just One Tweet is enough for request. DO NOT SPAMMING to us.</p>
<p>Developers don&#39;t negotiate with Spammer and terrorists.<a href="https://t.co/zbaoIqyViW">https://t.co/zbaoIqyViW</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>However, it doesn&#8217;t seem like the community has caught a hint about Harada&#8217;s warning because even now some members of the community have started to bombard this tweet with several character requests for Smash and, in the case of <a href="https://bagogames.com/negan-clobbers-the-competition-in-tekken-7-this-month/">Tekken</a>, the inclusion of Snake which is <a href="https://kotaku.com/an-evo-2019-joke-had-fans-thinking-snake-would-be-in-te-1836971892" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a joke that has stopped being funny</a> long ago.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Father, could you please tell Sakurai to add Hatsune Miku as punishment for the spammers? This is the one time I&#39;ll mention it. ð <a href="https://t.co/yHh1AQc5A5">pic.twitter.com/yHh1AQc5A5</a></p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Harada has since made a few ammendments to the statement. First stating that he doesn&#8217;t like the fact that he (and other members of the <a href="https://bagogames.com/dark-souls-3-breaking-records-bandai-namco/">Bandai Namco</a> staff) like to be constantly tagged about character requests for Smash and that Bandai Namco appreciates feedback and requests. However, there must be a line drawn in the sand.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Huh?<br />A boycott by spammers is welcome. Most people are decent so no problem. <br />We are not saying we don&#39;t listen to opinions. “Spam is not accepted”. </p>
<p>Can you read the letters?</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">We listen and value opinions, requests and feedback. However, spam due to a large amount of tagging and replying interferes with normal communication. <br />I always listen to opinions, but spam and tagging are not welcome. </p>
<p>It ’s simple.</p>

<p>What do you think about Harada&#8217;s opinion on the Smash Bros. Ultimate community? Are there any characters you&#8217;d like to have as part of the official roster? Let us know your thoughts in the comments</p>
