Not only is it the latest revelation of the fighter (as far as we know), but this could also be the last time Masahiro Sakurai works on Nintendo’s All-Star Fighting Series.

Regardless of who the final character is tomorrow, one thing all fans should be thankful for is Sakurai’s devotion to the series over the years and, of course, her hard efforts in the last entry. To acknowledge this, fans on social media platforms like Twitter are now thanking Sakurai with the following hashtag: #ThanksSakurai

It’s been a wild ride with all kinds of character reveals since the game’s release in December 2018. Feel free to share your own #ThankYouSakurai message in the comments below.
