"Using a mouse, keyboard or gamepad make my arm tired, so I can't use them in a continual manner. The only device I can use for an extended period of time is a joystick. It's posing problems when I'm test-playing something in progress." - Masahiro Sakurai
Sakurai says that his RSI is so bad that it's at, "the point where it's starting to restrict my work and lifestyle." Sakurai plans on switching to a trackball to get his work done.

I tried thinking of a good Smash 4 joke, but I've got nothing.
Oh wow, that really sucks considering what he does.
"your arm may be in pain, but you don't have time to ponder such questions, as Link has just grabbed a Smash Ball!"

In all seriousness though i hope he gets better, i work on a computer all day and i know how annoying something like that could be and since theres really no way to ease it when work must be done, finding a alternate method might be his only choice.
"You must recover!"
Heart Container for Sakurai?
Let's just all pray that he never decides to play as Fox/Falco on Final Destination in Melee...
Hope it does not take up too much time from development. But, he surely should take a breather so it won't s.train more
He must have randomly tripped and fallen on his arm.
Sorry, that was awful
I don't know why, but I always envision Sakurai as looking just like Kirby.
I cant imagine why... they look nothing alike lol
Mouse and Keyboard puts strain on you? I find it the most comfortable input method.
Wow, how does that even happen to someone. The answer is obvious but just hard to believe.
DEAR GOD!
haha now thats all youll think of when you think of him
Repetitive strain injury? I've never even heard of that before. I hope it doesn't get too bad on him and that it doesn't hamper his life style too much. :/
Hope he gets better.
