Super Smash Bros. keeps creeping closer — thanks to the inevitable passing of time — and we can anticipate the anarchic fun that awaits at home on Wii U and, pleasingly, on our travels with those funky 3DS visuals.
Masahiro Sakurai continues to tease us along, via the Super Smash Bros. Director's Room, showing new features and assist trophies to maintain hype levels. Last week Sakurai-san caught our eye with the enormous Mother Brain Assist Trophy, which looks set to be one of the deadliest options to find during an intense battle. The week as a whole served up a variety of treats and small pieces of insight, however, three of them Pokémon-themed.
Without further ado, last week's screens are below; as always you can click on the date heading to visit the Miiverse posts in question and give them a Yeah.
3rd February
4th February
5th February
6th February
7th February
So those are your Super Smash Bros. screens for the week, full of HD goodness but not, this time around, showing love for the 3DS version. Let us know what you think in the poll and comments below.

I dunno, I just like how ExtremeSpeed works with Aura now.
Lucario's new Extremespeed looks and sounds great! Assist Trophies are gonna be real game-changers if you can summon the likes of Mother Brain and Palkia.
Lucario charges up his aura sphere, and then............HADOKEN!!!!!
Also Mario is hiding behind Mother Brian, if you didn't spot that before, then it's now stuck in your head forever, can't unsee.
I didn't care for any screenshot this week except for mother brain
Hmm interesting they seem to have upped its aura abilities and ExtremeSpeed is faster and launches you mire when you fully charge Aura Sphere.
Mother brain, I still dislike you for killing mah babeh but it took you long enough to appear in this series!
Wow,Extremespeed looks pretty interesting now. Looks like Lucario was buffed like crazy.
Definitely Rosalina, if I had to pick
"It is said that the cosmos in beneath Rosalina's gown."
Looks under Rosalina's Gown
...They should have sent a poet.
I voted for Mother Brain, the mother of all assist trophies! XD
...and much is implied by "the cosmos is beneath Rosalina's gown"... I'm not quite sure what to think about that... o.o
Dat mother brain.
No 3DS screenshots, AGAIN?
Here's hoping for Origin Giratina as a Pokeball character!
Or a boss...
"It is said that the cosmos is beneath Rosalina's gown." Knowing Sakurai, I'm surprised he didn't make some comment about what's really under there
@SkywardLink98 Pic from today is for the 3DS though.
Liking the Extremespeed buff of Lucario. They should continue posting more wiiu screenshots than 3ds because it needs more sales.
I wonder what dialga will do.
Also if they do the same as previos games, reshiram and zekrom will appear in the stage background
Mother brain is my new favourite assist trophy.
@Ezekiel And because it looks better
I'm loving all the lucario changes!!!
Extreme speed buff!
Aura's been inhanced!
Mewtwo's replacement is starting to grow on me!
Okay, I'm officially getting a Wii U.
Strong hopes to see Arceus and the rest of the Creation Trio!
Is it just me or is Lucario a pretty crap choice, out of all the available Pokemon, for a main playable character in Smash Bros.
@ningeek185 can u get me one too dude? K thanks!
Oh and @Star_Land Paper Lantern Kirby!!
@Kirk I agree that he does feel a little over-rated. Then again, I never played the Gen that he became popular in. He's cool and all.. but I think someone else would have been a better choice. I think the Pokemon company just really likes him. They kind of force him down your throat in Pokemon X & Y, as well.
@Kirk @Spuratis I used to feel the same until I got my hands on him on platinum version, where my riolu suddenly evolved into lucario, holy s~~t, every time I used him on a gym or at the elite 4, he totally owned them, his strength and speed are incredible, and since then, I've been a fan of him.
Also, I don't know if I am alone in this, but this is the first time that all images from the weekly super smash bros. update really appeal to me, all 5 images deserved my vote for all the awesomeness displayed in each of them.
@SheldonRandoms I see Mario. Good eye.
To quote a certain well known mad man on this website, "DAT BRAIN."
Anyway, I voted for Palkia.
So, the mysteries of the universe can be found under Rosalina's gown? Noted.
...Meh, most forgetable legendary from the 4th gen... no wait, I think that's Volcarona... still, Mother Brain is the only nice pic.
@AntiGuy Volcarona wasn't legendary, it was pseudo-legendary like most dragons. Most forgettable???? I think that honor belongs to phione or manaphy, the most boring legendaries from sinnoh, as nobody talks about them. I don't know where are you from, but where I am from, every pokémon player respects palkia and volcarona's abilities and power.
I've been underneath Rosalina's gown and let me just say this... the rumours are all true!
@Antiguy @BAGBOY
Are you guys thinking on Giratina? Volcarona is the Fire Moth from Gen V.
@DestinyMan oh yeah! I forgot about that. Tropical Freeze comes out here on Thursday the 13th. Looking forward to a very possible Diddy reveal. Yoshi doesn't come out here until the summer though...possibly a random reveal for him maybe?
It's nice to know that there are at least some Wii U games that Ubisoft can't screw up for us.
This game will be my life when it's released!
