Transcript
Yes, I've seen
the leaks about Smash 6 and
I do not want to believe them.
I'm going to be honest, I
really do not want to believe
them because I don't want to
give myself hope.
If there's a small chance that
Smash is coming out, I would
fucking jump for joy, but I
cannot give myself hope.
This is the longest we've ever
gone without Smash.
And
I don't want to be choosing
to believe that these leaks
are real.
I am waiting until the direct
and that if the direct confirms
it, then I'll believe it.
But other than that,
nothing can tell me otherwise.
