Tra ipotesi sensate e cose fuori di testa

Domani, come annunciato ieri, ci sarà una diretta dedicata a Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in cui Masahiro Sakurai mostrerà un nuovo combattente del famoso picchiaduro per Nintendo Switch.

Nulla di eclatante, se non fosse che la curiosità di sapere chi sarà il nuovo personaggio unita alla fantasia del web ha scatenato una vera e propria tempesta di ipotesi, rendendo la foto di Masahiro Sakurai un vero e proprio meme.

Quel suo tre è infatti soggetto di mille ipotesi degli amanti di Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, tra chi propone personaggi più o meno plausibili a chi vola davvero altissimo con la fantasia.

Ecco alcuni dei tantissimi tweet postati in queste ore nel web, alcuni davvero comici.

Wait a minute…

Sakurai's making a gesture with his hands. And you know what goes on hands? Gloves.

Notice how 3 is emphasized?
3 question marks!
Sakurai holding 3 fingers!

That can mean only one thing: Mother 3 in Smash Ultimate confirmed. The whole game!

When you select Mother 3, you have to finish the game. A really new and unique newcomer gimmick. pic.twitter.com/gp4zJq7StK

Da chi inneggia Sakurai ad aver annunciato Half Life 3, a chi indica l’arrivo di Goku Super Saiyan 3 in Smash, da chi collega il “tre” a Devil May Cry 3 o Kingdom Hearts III, a chi ancora ha trovato similitudini tra il gesto fatto da Masahiro con quello di Goichi Suda e il suo No More Heroes 3 o il gesto di Crash Bandicoot.

Insomma, il web si è davvero scatenato e Masahiro Sakurai è diventato ancora più amato di quanto lo fosse prima.
