With the start of another week we have our trusty round-up of screens from Super Smash Bros., courtesy of Masahiro Sakurai on the Super Smash Bros. Director's Room Miiverse community board. Last week delivered another character announcement, with Marth confirmed as the latest challenger in the Wii U and 3DS versions, so the newly announced fighter was naturally the focus towards the end of the week.
Aside from Marth — whose design apparently incorporates elements from Shadow Dragon as well as newer games — this week brings us a humorous disguised bomb, in addition to a visual breakdown of The Villager's complex tree attack, with Sakurai-san saying the following on that topic.
Plant it, water it, and then timber! It's high maintenance but totally worth the effort! It needs tactics like never before.
Meanwhile, Link's downward strike currently changes to a Meteor Smash if the tip of the sword is lined up properly, though if too powerful it could be removed.
Some technicalities to think about, then, with all of the pretty images (exclusively Wii U this time) below; click on the date headings to see the original Miiverse posts.

100% people agree with me? Must be the first to vote.
Marth! At least one of my mains is confirmed now. Does this mean he won't be unlockable though?
The Sonic and Olimar one is pretty neat, I think!
@Yosher No guarantees, he was unlockable in Melee and Brawl, so it is equally possible for Marth to be there from the start, or unlockable.
As for Link's downward stab, I'm all for it! Link is my default so you won't see me complaining if he is stronger.
LOL Samus is screwed. Link is gonna impale her in that screenshot.
Picked the villager pic.
@Blastoise-san I'm pretty sure she already got impaled, based on the smoke and the red impact thing.
I voted for Marth only because I'm hoping for a few Fire Emblem games on the U.....
I had to vote for the item, it just was so unexpected, Olimar's ship as an item?! Does that mean his final smash is different? I suppose that'd be jumping to conclusions, but it's the only pic that opens up a few more questions for me.
...I can't help but notice that there are exactly zero 3DS screenshots this time... hmm...
@Gioku There usually aren't many anyways, haha.
Marth, he's awesome.
Please watch the profanity — TBD
@Gerbwmu Fire Emblem X Shin Megami Tensei is coming to Wii U and it oughta be freaking amazing.
Marth's debut screenshot. He looks gorgeous!
Link's Meteor Smash on Samus.
Sorry, but DAT MARTH FTW!!!
Lookin good Captain Olimar .
Think I'll go with the first image.
Olimar & Sonic for me. Way too adorable (the yellow pikmin helps).
I'm really looking forward to the balancing of characters. Especially for Ike if they bring him back. All of his smashes were high risk an low reward. Hopefully they remove that from all characters. Their smashes should either be high risk and high reward or low risk and low reward.
@Blastoise-san #5
He already hit her. Link bounces every time his in-air-down-attack connects.
I liked the Villager pic. I think his tree chopping move is very interesting
Hmmm... And I wonder if the S.S. Dolphin will be replacing the warp star or something?
Link's down smash is one of my favorite moves. I picked link.
How will Olimar manage to fit inside of that rocket ship?
marth is my guy.
They all look so awesome this week
Second Marth picture.
Okay, so we have Toon Link, and now we have Marth. Amazing!
BUT WHERES MAH JIGGLYPUFF?!
@Blastoise-san - Yes......but I'm being greedy....I want multiple stand alone titles as well....even if they are remakes....
@gefflt Sakurai said it's a bomb in the post, which I then said in the article
I like all the ones but Marth. Marth is probably my least favorite character to play as and I wish that there was another character in his roster spot. On the brighter side I cant wait to cut down a tree.
To be honest, I don't like any of them
Why bother?
i liked all of them, but the Sonic and Olimar one were really cool
I really liked the Sonic and Olimar one. The others didn't really impress me though, so it wasn't that hard of a choice.
Please confirm Ice Climbers... Anyone?
Edit: Oh and Doshin!
If anybody has questions, I can assure you that the original starters from "super SMASH bros" will be back. There's no way they won't put them in the game.
PS. I really, really hope they don't take out link's new move, because it looks awesome!!!
A new challenger approaches! Samurai Link's blade hungers for blood!
Marth's close-up.
Can somebody please tell me why the capsule item is a new challenger approaching on the official Smash Bros website?
Marth's new threads. He's lookin' SWEET
....I wonder if he ended up changing Olimar's Final Smash....if that spaceship is a bomb now. (can't remember its name, lol)
I wonder if a clothing change for marth could be his mask in fire emblem awakening... what do you think?
@Yukari_Sendo
They probably did. Pikmin 3 came out after brawl, maybe there is something they can use from there. I didn't get pikmin 3 but it sounds pretty fun. So many games, so little funds
I expected Marth's appearance pic would gain the highest votes. Guess I'm wrong. -_-
Who cares about Pretty Boy - I wanna see Mr. Game & Watch and Lucario!
lots of marth love in this thread. wheres ma megaman pix??!!??
@odd69
Agreed, i want more Megaman!
