Whoa whoa whoa! Where was this 'official' announcement that Smash Bros. was ending made? Sakurai said himself that he has not yet decided whether or not he'd be continuing his work on the series. If he does, cool, if he doesn't, well then someone else will take over directing the games. The series won't die just because Sakurai leaves. Saying so is simply preposterous.
