Last week we started a new series of features highlighting the weekly screens distributed by franchise boss Masahiro Sakurai, which we rather wittily called "A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii and 3DS Screens - Issue One. Now we have issue two, which brings five more delicious screens at which to gaze.
As before, Sakurai-san has gone for a mix of quirky humour and others that simply show stages or moves in more detail; we have two 3DS and three Wii U screens this time around. The Wuhu Island stage will apparently be fought on a plane flying around the right side of the area, while "Mega Man's Charge Shot is a chargeable side smash attack", which differs in style from Samus' namesake move. The reset bomb pic also brings us back to Sakurai-san's terrific 3DS title, Kid Icarus: Uprising.
Check them out below.

Definitely the honking of Luigi's nose! LOL
The Villager honks Luigi's nose gets my vote.
Reset bomb for me.
Wuhu sland, i love stages! bring more and more stages!
I gotta vote for Reset Bomb.
The second picture caught my attention. So it was an item that did that?... and it blew up the stage?
@icerazor Nah, it's probably in the background. It's based off of a stage from KI:U in which a "reset bomb" is detonated.
@icerazor I'm guessing it's a stage transition, perhaps, halfway through a bout.
That Ferox Arena stage..
<----Deadly Link
Samus vs mega man because its the only 3ds pic that i can actually see and tell whats going on....
Samus vs. Mega Man because it is the first picture on the 3DS that has the outlines turned off. Sakurai also confirmed alongside it that the move is Mega Man's sidesmash.
Pretty decent week in my opinion. Even so, today's pic and comment is stronger than any from last week.
Luigi and villager for me
That view of Wuhu Island is stunning. It seems weird to say it, but I'm loving just how intricately detailed the Wii U stages seem.
@ThomasBW84
So I guess monday's the day, huh? Good to know! (Please either confirm or deny, as this weekly column is something I'm gonna check out every time there's an update!)
@AlexSora89 Yep, every Monday
Love this. I went with Link because the master sword looks like a lightsaber there. Kirby puts the funny tone in an otherwise serious pic.
@ThomasBW84: Thank you! Between this and the European Nintendo Download updates, you're turning monday into the best day ever!
Samus and Megaman at point range, Imagine the chaos that follows
Mega Man looks cute in this game
Wow, a reset bomb! Voted.
RESET BOMB!!!!!!!!!
Link and Kirby.
The reset bomb pic shows a transition as evident by an earlier pic of donkey kong on a stage that shows a membrane like background.
also i love the wii u character designs. They have a clay like texture to them.
Wuhu Island, I can't wait for Super Smash Bros HD, it just looks incredible... that is... if only I had a good TV that went along with this.
link & kirby look the best graphically speaking.
looks like it's on that metroid: other M stage, and just like last week's screens that stage provides the most interesting and dynamic lighting to show off the graphics.
I also hope that, like Driveclub on PS4, we will continue to see improvements to the graphics in each build.
Charge Comparison
day one forever, megaman rocks
Off topic:

Samus and Mega Man with arm cannons. Because of Samus and Mega Man and arm cannons.
Luigis nose Wins LOL
Can you next time put the links to the Miiverse pages? I want to see the caption of Sakurai
@DonnaxNL That's a good call, I'll do that.
