Devil May Cry and Bayonetta creator Hideki Kamiya has never been one to shy away from an online battle, taking on all manner of people in Twitter spats. And now he's thrown the gauntlet down to Super Smash Bros. and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai. While both men are working on surprising sequels to sixth-gen cult classics (Okami 2 for Kamiya, with Sakurai working on Kirby Air Riders), Kamiya has maintained that he has the more interesting YouTube channel of the duo.

In the MinnMax interview "69 Questions For Okami Director Hideki Kamiya," the legendary developer was asked a series of rapid-fire questions by host Ben Hanson. The host asked asked if anyone else tried to pick up Scalebound after it was canceled by Microsoft ("it would've taken a lot of money), if the Wonderful 101 flopped harder on Wii-U or Steam ("I don't think either sold very well"), and why his underwear was severely ripped in a photo he posted after leaving Platinum ("I don't know, I was on the shitter one day, pulled my pants down, and saw the hole there").
