You have done an amazing job with these games, and with that comes a great deal of stress, so on behalf of all of us avid gamers and followers, I would just like to say thank you Masahiro Sakurai for all your hard work, and when all of this is done, please get some rest, you deserve it.

All good things have to come to an end, right? Cheer up, guys!

So no more daily posts, huh? Dang; I was hoping to see some about the upcoming updates & DLC.

I GIVE MY LIFE NOT FOR HONOR, BUT FOR YOUUU~ ;_;7

It's been a pretty fun keeping up with all these updates for the past two years. Thank you again Sakurai & staff for all the hardwork you put towards both the 3DS and Wii U versions of Smash.

You. Are. My. Hero.

Thanks for all your hard work Sakurai! We really appreciate it! <(^.^)>

you made my mornings better with your posts Sakurai-san, thank you very much for this. For now I will enjoy your game as I was hoping to since it was announced. Thanks for everything!!!

RIP: Pic of the day. You will be missed!

Many respects to you and your team, Mr. Sakurai, and many thanks as well! PotD has been much fun! After you've finished up Mewtwo, make sure you get a well-deserved rest. We can't have our favorite developer work himself into utter exhaustion, now can we? I hope you realize you and your team have set a new standard for game-design! Thank you!

RIP in pasta Potd

Thank You Merci Gracias Danke Arigatou gozaimasu

*claps* Thank you Sakurai, for all the hard work and dedication you put into this game, and sharing the information about it, even if some people didn't appreciate some of it. Once you're done with Mewtwo, hopefully you can finally relax, and maybe take a nice long vacation. I can only imagine how stressful developing such an anticipated game must be.

Thank you so much Sakurai-san. I hope you get lots of rest and come back to make a game you really really enjoy! いろいろ有り難うございます。

Thank you for the continued effort to keep your fans in touch with development! It was fun to see interesting things each week, regardless of whether they were "new". From the bottom of my heart, it was fun. See you when Mewtwo arrives, and besides that 'til next time!

All good things come to an end. Thank you for everything Sakurai. If Smash 5 is never to be like you think, then so be it, I'll enjoy this one as much as possible. I was sold on this game since the day it was announced @E3. All the amazing newcomers, the lack of playable Ridley, 8-Player Smash, Omega Stages for the hardcore players, and much more. I can't possibly thank you enough. :')

Even if fans didn't get everything they wanted, it was still a blast. Thank you for sharing this experience with us, Sakurai and staff. I hope your futures bring you fortune wherever you go. And if this ends up truly being Sakurai's final go on the series...thank you for bringing my life so many positive experiences Smashing with friends and family during your time as director.

Thank you Samurai

Thank you, Mr. Sakurai! The game is great! I appreciate all the hard work and effort you put into this, it really paid off. I can say that this is the best Smash game to date. Not that it's any surprise coming from you and your team, though.

Ok, can we ALL just STOP about the DLC pleasing? Sakurai needs a break now and HE deserves it! I don't why you want those dlcs. Sakurai, thanks for all the beautiful hd content you have been putting in this game, my wait is now over and can start enjoy playing this game. Sakurai, if i had to judge your game then it would be an 10/10 topscore! You seriously deserve it! Have a nice vacation!

Sakurai,thank you,for all you've done for us!! I'll always remember you! I hope your,and all other Smashers,to have a good time,playing Smash 3DS,and Wii U! It was great meeting the Director of Smash! (its obvious that your a Christian,from that one post!) :')

farewell, sakurai!

Thank you so much! You did guys did a great job with the game. Now I think it's time for you to take a break.

The Pic of the day, just like the daily Brawl updates from some years ago, will live on in our hearts forever! Here's to Smash Wii U, Mewtwo, and hopefully many more Smash Bros to come!

And I well never be touching miiverse again. Thanks for the run sakurai

Thank you sakurai for all your hard work and dedication to us fans i cant wait to play as mewtwo im sure he will be worth the wait thank you very very very much

End of an era. Final update of the DOJO!! seemed like just yesterday...

Sakurai,you have given us a wonderful gift with the pic of the day series. The smash community really has enjoyed there's picture of the day. R.I.P Pic Of The Day

Thank you for this wild ride, Sakurai!

YOU THE MAN, SAKURAI! I LOVE YOU!

If our beloved hero Captain Falcon was here, he would say that Sakurai "showed us his moves." I would ask Captain Falcon if this game exceeds expectations, he would give a firm "YES!" Captain Falcon buys many copies of this game, as whenever he tries to carry his 3DS around, his knee obliterates it. "COME ON!!" He shouts. It's worth enough to Captain Falcon to buy the game so many times.

I know this will probably never be read by any Nintendo staff besides admins, but thank you! I know you put your blood, sweat and tears into this; so you deserve a nice break once MewTwo is done...I don't even care about additional DLC at this point. Thank you for putting your best effort, and not giving up!

RIP Pic of the Day "WE GOT SUM GOOD MENUS HERE GUYS" 2013 - 2014

It won't be the same anymore... Thank you Sakurai for the Pics of the Day. It's been fun.

Thank you Sakurai, we have appreciated pic of the day since day 1. It whetted our appetites until the arrival of the games. I am looking forward to Mewtwo's release. Keep up your excellent work.

Once you've gone and finished all that you've set out to do, get some rest. You deserve it, Sakurai. Just don't push yourself for our sake. ^^;

I have watched the Brawl Dojo daily when I was a kid. Now I have spent a whole year seeing PotD at nights after university. I hope to see the next one with my kids when I am older! Thank you, Sakurai!

thumbs up sakurai, thanks for a brilliant game!

^That Nikki is an imposter!!

Sakuria, I've, and I'm sure we all have, extremely enjoyed your Pic of the Day's, and the game is amazing. Once you have finished Mewtwo, I hope you take a well deserved break, so let it be the time when you enjoy yourself and relax! Thank you for an amazing journey Sakuria!

Thank you very Much Sakurai! from me Super Mario and my little brother Luigi, You have done a super fantastic job envisioning the events the Smash Fighters would-a go through our original competition, the Melee competition, the Brawl competition and the War against Subspace and our 4th and 5th competitions, The Smash Fighters will-a always be together as a team Your help will-a never be forgotten!

Oh wow.It's over.That was great, getting up in the morning, and looking at the Pic.Thank you Sakurai.Thank you.

Thank you so much Sakurai for the humour you brought to some of these Pic of the Days, and the information behind others. Thank you for the astronomical amounts of effort you put into designing this fantastic game. And thank you for the hype that many others as well as I had throughut the past 1.5 years. btw: I'm definitely excited for Mewtwo, online tournaments, and the Miiverse stage.

It's been a pleasure cruising with you Sakurai, you'll always be the best, especially Smash Bros...

Thank you for working your butt off for us. And a personal thank you from me for including Shulk as a playable character. I've been waiting years since I imported Xenoblade Chronicles from Europe and beat it, to see the day Shulk was announced. You've left me very happy. I hope you can find some time to rest next year, you deserve it.

My Last Pic of the Day Comment. Thank you, Sakurai.

wow more menus?! (JK have a great vacation sakurai!)

Thank you sakurai and staff for the game and everything! When you done creating Mewtwo, please, will you take a long vacantion? I feel like you really deserve that. ;)

Thank-you, and your team SO much! You guys have done such an AMAZING JOB on this game!!! It's sad to see PotD end, but we all knew it was coming. PotD was tons of fun! So awesome that you kept it going this long! After finish off with Mewtwo, you'd better take a nice long vacation!!!! Seriously! Take one!!! You've more than earned it.

After you finish Mewtwo take a long needed vacation. You earned it after making the best Smash bros game to date.

Thanks for easing the wait. The games are more than worth it and are honestly the best games I've ever played. I guess we can make our own screenshots now the games are finally out. Well done to all of you!

I'm gonna miss it, but enjoy your break.

Sakurai, bruh, if you put Mewtwo on the official website with a gameplay trailer, we would all be fine until Spring 2015

Sakurai-san, you are one of the greats in this industry; This Smash Bros. is clearly one of the best, if not the best. And I can tell just from seeing the game in action!! I'm looking forward to having the Wii U version joining me and my copy of the 3DS version come Christmas, and getting ready for the return of Mewtwo! THANK YOU SAKURAI!!! #SettleitinSmash ;)

Wow. It's actually over. Thank so much, Sakurai...

Wow you're amazing Sakurai.

Guys, even though Sakurai is leaving, the spirit of PotD doesn't have to die. Every once in a while, just post something funny, or if you have something interesting to point out about a character or mechanic, post that! It's the least we can do to keep the memory of Miiverse's "Sakurai Era" close to us.

thank you dark pit is the best he's my most wanted character.

Well then goodbye Sakurai! Thank You!

thanks sakurai :)

Thank you, mr. Sakurai. Thank you for all the amazing pic's. Thank you for this big fan service. Thank you so much for the ultimative smash bros games. I realy hope you can relax when Mewtwos is releaseed. BTW: Thank you for Mewtwo. You are the best. Thank you so much! :)

Thanks Sakurai for all your great work :')

No matter how much negativity you may have come across on the internet, the VAST majority of us love the work you've put into these incredible TWO games. Being able to experience two new Smash Bros game in the same year has been amazing. Please ignore the people asking for more and take pride in the feast you have given us. You're the best!

Thank you for your job mister Sakurai !

Thank you Sakurai for all the work you have put into these 2 amazing game i'm going to miss getting up early to see you POTD so i'm really glad that you did this for us. Thank you very much Sakurai

Thanks for the great ride, Sakurai-san. It was a really hype filled wait. I can't believe that it's been one year since the announcement trailer. Now we can all enjoy SSB4 now. Thanks again.

Lol, I bet it took longer to release because they always get the better things

Thank you Mr Sakurai. You have been working hard to deliver a wonderful game. Please, take a long vacation as long as you want. You deserve it man. You and your team, please take a break. I am also looking forward to Mewtwo (even though I am not a fan of that Pokemon). Besides, he is a fan favorite. Awesome job, Sora Entertainment. Well done.

Carp... I didn't write my goodbye essay.

Thank you Sakurai your the best <3

Sakurai you are a gift to gaming and I hope you get the freedom to work on any projects you want and not just more sequels to smash bros.

I'm sad it's coming to an end. I hope they leave this community open so we can go back through the old pics. THANK YOU FOR 2 GREAT GAMES!

End of an era. Thanks for the hype!

I can finally get off Mr. Sakurai's Wild Ride. Thank you and your team for all of your hard work!

Sakurai, can we have upskirts come back like they were for Peach in Brawl? Pleeeeease? ;)
