Thank you very Sakurai *salutes*

Thank you Sakurai, for everything. I heard that this might be the last Smash Bros. game you direct. If it is, you left the series with a bang. CONGRATULATIONS! PRAISE SAKURAI!

I don't know what to do with my life anymore

And that's that. Everyda I looked forward to the POTD. I'm going to mss it,but I do understand it had to come to a conclusion. Thanks Sakurai :')

Thank you Sakurai! I enjoyed the pictures that didn't show new information, too, so don't worry. I'm looking forward to Mewtwo, but please take a vacation as soon as you can. You've already done so much to make us happy; we want you to be happy too!

Thanks for everything, Mr. Sakurai.

Thanks for pulling though Sakurai!

I have a great time with the pic of the day

Thank you Sakurai for every single pic of the day. I look forward to Mewtwo.

I was thankful for Sakurai on Thanksgiving. Thank you! You made an amazing game that keeps on giving!

Thank you so much for working so hard, Mr. Sakurai. It's really impressive how you have manage to not miss one day since E3 2013 with these pics. So lon- wait Japan had to wait until today!?

Thank you very much Mr. Sakurai! You have done some tremendous work on these games, and your efforts to post so many pictures for us fans has been wonderful. Good luck on any future projects, and I'm looking forward to playing as Mewtwo!

Thank you, Sakurai for providing us with pics that have informed us about the games and a bit of comedy too. It's been one heck of a trip. I said it before, and I'll say it again... THANK YOU SAKURAI! *Clap clap ClapClapClap* THANK YOU SAKURAI! *Clap clap ClapClapClap* THANK YOU SAKURAI! *Clap clap ClapClapClap*

Thank you Sakurai! On behalf of the peoples of Miiverse, the World, the Solar System, the Galaxy, and the Universe, thank you!

The last ride begins here it was fun while it lasted stay smashing my friends.

Dear. Mr. Sakurai I'm really enjoying both versions of Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS We appreciate all the hard work you and your staff put into this title over the past years. Gonna miss those late nights waiting for the picture of today but, it was enjoyable to wait for it, it kinda added a bit more excitement :) Can't wait to play in the Tournaments and seeing Mewtwo again since Melee Thank You!!

thank you Sakurai you have made another amazing timeless classic

Thanks for everything Sakurai.

Thank you.

And thus PoTD come to an end. My thanks for doing this Sakurai. There were moments where I felt the PoTD was taunting me, like hanging a Smash Bros. carrot in front of my face for me to follow, but at the end of the day, PoTD made the wait more bearable, and I think you for that. The timing of the end is very good for me as well. If all goes well, I'll be getting the Wii U version on Sunday.

thank you

Sakurai you and your teams have done great job as always with Smash For 3DS and Wii U. Farewell to the Pic of the Day. Newcomers, Veterans,Stages, Trophies, and more. In it's honor, Let's settle it in Smash.

Well, that's that then. Mr. Sakurai, your team at Sora Ltd., Namco Bandai Studios, and Nintendo (As well as SEGA and CAPCOM and MONOLIFT SOFT.), you have my condolences. ALso, like everyone else here, I am looking forward to Mewtwo!

Thank you for your posts! For me they made the wait for the game much easier.

Well I better post something, the Pic of the Day was interesting!

Arigato Sakurai-San! Thank you for being a creative part in such a wonderful game. And bringing these Pic of the Day posts to us. And I'd like to thank the staff for translating this all for everyone outside of Japan. Thank you!

Thank you, Sakurai, for all of the hard work put into the game. I can't wait to beat up the overrated Pokémon that looks like a woman. Prepare for the Shrekoning, Mewtwo...

Thank you Sakurai!!! Thank you and your team for working very hard on this game and making it possible. I appreciate everything you've done for us, thank you for making this happen :)

It's been a long ways since E3 2013. I don't want to get off your wild ride. Thanks for the menus, Smash Run pics, Luigi's nose, and Ridley teases. And thanks for making this game.

Lets all give this man a round of applause.. thank you, Sakurai ;-;

*Claps* Bravo, Sakurai. Bravo!

Thank you, Sakurai.

Thank you.

Thank You Sakurai!! Are y'all still going to add the Miiverse Stage as well as the Tournament modes?? But Thank You again for another timeless masterpiece!! Kudos to you and your team!! Superb job!!

I can't complain, Sakurai. You really outdid yourself and some pics of the day were so funny, they made me laugh. :D I hate Mewtwo, but I look forward to using him as my new punchbag like I did with Lucario, Jigglypuff and Shulk. :3

Thank you every one that took part in making this game!

Thanks alot Sakurai, Ever since E3 2013, i've lost tons of sleep waiting for these pics, to see a new stage, a new character, a new mode. Now that's it's all over, im going to miss it. I've has tons of fun seeing all the pictures and cannot wait till your future projects. Thank you!!!

Pics of the day will be missed. Thanks for the awesomeness Sakurai!

It was a fun ride while it lasted. Thanks for making the wait more bearable with these awesome pictures.

Sakurai my friend, good job on creating such an amazing series.

You earned a breather more than ever, Mr. Sakurai. I look forward to what you and your mind might bring us to play next, even if it isn't another Smash! I'm sure this one will keep us busy for years to come, just like Brawl did.

That was an awesome run! Thanks for two of the best games I played this year!

Sorry to see that pic of the day is finally over, but thanks for keeping it going so long Mr Sakurai! I looked forward to this every day for the past year and a half. Maybe we can have a post or two about Mewtwo in the coming months? ;)

Mewwho?

Sakurai, this whole Pic of the Day initiative was an incredible undertaking, and I want to thank you and your team for doing it! The fact that you put up with people who REALLY need to learn the term "don't look a gift horse in the mouth" (looking at you, Taylor, and other character complainers) is admirable! Thanks for the wild ride! And yes, I am looking forward to playing as Mewtwo!

Thank you for your hard work, Sakurai.

I know you can't read this, but thanks or all the info over the past two years Sakurai and, of course, Smash itself

Thank you, Mr. Sakurai. It was fun seeing the developments of the game and other funny moments through these pictures. I hope you enjoyed making the games as much as we'll enjoy playing them.

Thank you, Sakurai-san, for dedicating so much of your time and effort into these games, and for giving us these behind the scenes looks. Your work is certainly appreciated.

Thank you Sakurai, you and your team have done a fantastic job. You have really made a masterpiece! Once you're done with Mewtwo, the miiverse stage, etc., get a good rest. You have truly deserved it. Once again, Thank You.

We certainly will Sakurai. And thank you so much for these games. You and your team are amazing and I'm forever grateful for all your hard work.

*sigh* its been fun seeing new pics of the day every day

It was a wild ride, and although we could have gone for less menus, I will definitely look back on these posts with fondness. Thank you Sakurai and all you have done!

A message to Masahiro Sakurai: I want to say, you did an amazing job working on Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U versions. I think both versions are amazing! You and your staff have worked so hard making the fighters, the stages, the play style, and many more! Also, thank you for posting pic of the days for the last 18 months. I apparently your hard work on two games.

While this wait for Smash was one that gave me very mixed feelings, I can honestly say that I loved looking forward to your PotD's Sakurai. While I have quite a bit to say when I was reading your interviews, I knew that in the end that you only thought what was best for us. I know you think this is truly your last Smash Bros, so I only have one thing to say: thank you.

Thankyou for including us Sakurai. Can't wait for Mewtwo and anything else you may have in store for us! :)

Sad that this post series will end, loved it. Thanks for all your hard work Sakurai!

THANK YOU and the staff i guess your bodys stil ready laughs get my joke say hi to reggie for me !

It was a fun ride while it lasted. Thanks for the amazing game Sakurai.

PotD has been fun. It made the release of the game even more hyped than before. Thank you, Sakurai. Some of us on miiverse will, thanks to how easy it is to take screenshots, keep the spirit of PotD alive. See you next time. Go get some rest and let us admire this masterpiece you created. ^_^

Sakurai, don't leave us.

Also: big thanks to Sega, Capcom, Bandai Namco and Monolith for their characters. It's awesome to see the "fantastic four" of classic gaming settle it out in smash. Thank you to all the devs at Sora Ltd. you guys rock.
