Masahiro Sakurai and his team are, we hope, well rested after a short break at the close of 2013. The New Year is here now and, once again, Sakurai-san has taken to the Super Smash Bros. Director's Room on Miiverse to share screens of Super Smash Bros., and we'd suggest that it's continued its strong recent form.
Last week brought us two notable reveals, with King Dedede announced as a challenger, and confirmation of system-specific trophies between the two versions. Beyond those headline details are some other interesting tid-bits from Sakurai-san, in which he explains more about some environment and character-specific moves.
Last week's visual treats are below, and as always you can click on the date heading to visit the Miiverse posts in question and give them a Yeah.
6th January

For me it's the confirmation of Trophies! I loved collecting those in Melee and Brawl, and I since Dedede was my worst character by far I wasn't all that excited about his return. Still, his reveal comes second this week for me!
I like Saria~
OH NO'S, THE SHY GUYS ARE BACK
King Dedede says hi, and I say hi as well, it's almost as if this is density or something. Also Kirby's trying to say hi as well, well too bad pink puff, because this is the Kings moment to shine..........of saying hi!
@SheldonRandoms wha?
I picked the shy guy pic but it's neat that the ropes in the boxing ring actually stretch if you are on it.
I know people are going to vote Dedede because he's the "reveal", but as a Sakurai made character along side Kirby, it'd be surprising if Dedede was actually cut. Meta Knight wasn't exactly popular for being SS tier, but it'd be surprising if he was cut, for the above stated reasons.
Long story short I voted for Zelda's new attack animation in hopes she isn't bottom tier or "that character you pick to use Shiek" AGAIN.
I voted for the ropes, as I love when you can use the stage to do attacks.
And this (last) week had two 3DS screens!
The triple D-man himself of course. u_u
Every post from last week were pretty good, especially the one with Mario on the rope.
The rope jump seems original. I wonder if I can spike people into the bottom there?
Rainbow Road FTW!
What if Finn and Jake were announced for SSB4? I know it sounds weird, but it's just a thought. If not, Mordecai and Rigby or Rayman would be cool too.
Voted for Dedede. His new faces are just too good.
Shy's guys & King D were such good pics of the day.
For obvious reasons, I had to vote for Shy Guy~
Oh look, Zelda is using the sword from Strider!
The hammer peguin king. u_u
Rainbows!
Voted for the springy ropes because it confirms the return of Zelda's oft-hilarious "farewell" taunt.
As much as I love Rainbow Road, it's not for Wii U, so I chose the rope one as I like wrestling.
I just hope that the Rainbow Road stage isn't too small for battle, and that the Shy Guys don't take up most of the stage.
I can't wait to play as Mega Man!
King Dedede looks so damn huggable.
cant wait make smash come out NOW!
link is awesome
@bobbypaycheque what bout streetpass monster or LINK??????
Man it would be epic if Shadow the Hedgehog makes it in. I don't think that he would be a clone because he can punch and kick not like Sonic and throw chaos spears. His final smash can be a random chaos move like chaos control, chaos blast, and chaos shadow. In chaos control Shadow can take out a chaos emerald and yell "chaos control!" and then everyone around him can be moving in slow motion and Shadow will be the only fast one. In chaos blast Shadow unleashes an explosion knocking out everyone around him and in chaos shadow he just turns bright red and becomes invincible.
Shy Guys!
Shy guys haha!
shy guys lol
@CriticalError13 they should make a shy guy with links master sword
@CatMarioUltra
Do you know what Smash Bros. is even about?
Really liking the Rainbow Road stage!
Loving the Shy Guy on Rainbow Road, haha! Although Dedede is nice.
Still annoyed that Little Mac and Captain Falcon have not been announced yet... Still, I like the screens so far, Voted for Saria
@Silverfox117
I wouldn't worry about Captain Falcon, He's been around since the first ssb.
Once more, the 3DS screenshot. I'm already thinking I'll see Rainbow Road a lot.
Ahh so hoping that Nintendo of Europe announces the release date for Kirby soon.
First day perch that one, yes indeed.
no more screenshots, we need video footage
Nothing too exciting this time around.
Of course Sakurai brings back a character he created. I only wish he looked more how he did in Return to Dreamland; plump and cutsey rather than large and awkward.
Shouldn't that be a bouncy mushroom on the RR screen?
is the rainbow road also coming to the wii u or is it 3ds exclusive? i would love to see it detailed on tv!
Yay, Shy Guy. The character i always use in MK7. Good taste there, Sakurai.
@K-Gamer exactly the same for me.
I am pumped for this game. Love the Legend of Zelda stuff.
