He hated that Smash became competitive, that's why he put tripping in Brawl and destroyed the advanced techniques. His vision was a fun casual fighting game anyone could play.
He lost his will and the fight and decided to make what the fans wanted, but he still had some pride and wanted to still make the best game he could, despite it not being his vision.
He keeps improving his craft.
Masuda has either lost his mind or is super vindictive.
