Thanks for the Smash Updates, and Thank You for Making These Games.

It's been an honor! Thank you!

It's been 1 year and a half since Pic of the Day started and now it's finally ending. Thanks Sakurai.

That's how you keep your public waiting and hyping for a game. Every game developer should do something like that. Thank you Sakurai and congratulations for the great work with Smash.

Thank You Mr. Sakurai for all you guys do! Super Smash Bros. is one of the greatest games of all time! Looking forward to Mewtwo to Join the Battle!

Thank you Sakurai-san!

Thank you for everything Sakurai.

Thank you Sakurai!

I'm gonna cry like a baby.. :'(

Thank you once again, Mr. Sakurai! This game has been an amazing experience, from the initial announcement of the game to the triumphant purchase at the midnight launch! We will miss the POTDs but until the next big project, we will continue to SMASH!

Aww. The ride's been awesome.

Welp farewell sakurai its been fun

I'm actually a bit sad, but oh well. Nothing lasts forever.

As I've been saying: you're the best, Sakurai. Thanks for all the hard work you've done this past years on Smash Bros. The game is excellent and looks amazing. Congratulations!

I'll miss all the comments telling you 'Please put [x character] in the game!" This guy deserves a break.

Well Sakurai San take a break after Mewtwo is done!!

Sakurai thank you very much for this game! i love it soo much! and i hope you have a really good vacation after this game you really do deserve it! you did good enough for the game so please take as much time as you can :) i understand how much time it takes to make a video game

Despite the ups and downs, the PotD's were fun. Thank you, Sakurai, and thank you for releasing the Wii U version in the U.S. first!

Sakurai, Masahiro Sakurai. You've done marvelous work my friend.

Sakurai, you're amazing!!!

Thanks for all the amazing work on Smash, Sakurai. It's the end of an era development-wise, but it's the true beginning of a new era now that both of the new Super Smash Bros games are out. I enjoyed the pics of the day and truly appreciate all the work you've done. I rode the hype train all the way through. You were a great conductor. Thanks for the ride. :)

thanks sakurai, you're awesome!

Thank you, Sakurai!

Thanks for the announcements. I can't wait for mewtwo next year.

And it's come to an end. Thanks once again, Sakurai.

End of an era. Take a nice long break.

Thanks for brining us what is the ultimate Nintendo evermade! Thanks so much

Thank you very much for keeping in touch with the players for so long! Good luck for your other future projects, Mr. Sakurai! I hope that your will continue working on projects for Nintendo platforms!

Thank you Sakura, for the POTDs, for the game, for your giving. I'll miss the Pics. It'll sometimes make me feel it was better when we were waiting for the game. Go rest now, Sakurai. I want Kid Icarus, I also want you to be happy with us about this game. THANK YOU MASHPOTATOE SAN-SAMURAI!!!!

Sakurai, Thank you so much for everything you have done for us. I know making Smash is a huge task and I know that sometimes we fans get too demanding for our own good. But I think I speak for all of your fans when I say that we will always be grateful for your hard work and dedication. So for old times sake, I just wanted to say, "thank you, Samurai."

Enjoy your well-deserved rest, Sakurai.

Thank you for all your hard work! It is very much appreciated! You and your teams did a fantastic job on both titles and you most definitely deserve a break! Thank you again and have a great holiday season!

Remember when Samurai thought Melee was the last game, then Brawl? Well, I think for sure 5 games is enough to make in 15 years. If this is the last game, or just the last game without you, I will never forget you were the one who made this all happen. Ignore the haters, and go rest.

Thanks sakurai for this fantastic game.

Super smash bros needs Lucas as dlc.

Thanks master. Awesome work, amazing games!

*Doesn't mention the game being released in Australia* Hm... I guess we don't exist lol.

Thank you very much for everything, Sakurai! The game, the PoTDs, just EVERYTHING! I'm enjoying this game very much right now.^^ Be sure to take a vacation once you're done, you deserve it. :D

Thank you Sakurai. Pic of the Day became part of my life, part of my daily routine. Waiting for them to come out was fun, and as sad to see it end, I'm glad I was part of it. Thank you Sakurai for your time and creativity to make these masterpieces.

Thank you Sakurai for all your hard work. Now please take a long vacation, you definitely deserve it.

Sakurai, you are the best developer in the whole industry, an example of how to make excellent and unforgettable games, your dedication and passion have no comparison. I just want to thank you by all the work you put in every game you make.

thank you sakurai.

Well, goodnight, sweet prince..

Thank you for posting the POTDs. I've enjoyed looking at all of the POTDs and they were all fun to look at. Be sure to take a nice long relaxing break after Mewtwo is officially done. I think you and your development team did an outstanding job on the game. Can't wait to see what your next project will be. Thank you for everything Sakurai, you're my favorite game director!

Sakurai, we all thank you for making a great miiverse community, game, and giving people to give you a knock name. We thank you mashpotato samurai.

Sweet

After ALL Of the Programming, Designing, & Play-Testing, You really need the break. But don't think the battle's over just yet...

It's too bad sakurai STILL can't take a brake,He still has to finish mewtwo...

Thank you Mr. Sakurai. And Thanks for including Mewtwo!

Just thank you sir, you deserve it for such accomplishments.

I can't believe it's over... Seems like yesterday when Sakurai was posting pictures unveiling Marth, Peach, Lucario and all the other character and showing off all those unique stages like Paper Mario and Orbital Gate Assault. Really gonna miss waking up early in the morning to see what crazy or cool PIc Sakurai has for us today. Sad to see it go but Sakurai deserves the rest so Thank You!!! :)

Announcer:MEWTWO HAS JOINED THE BATTLE AS A NEEEEEW FFFFIGHTERRRR! Me:Dude.Play.S.S.B.M.NOW. Anyway,thank you Sakurai for all the work you have put into Smash Run,8-player smash,Smash tour,a new and improved Stage Builder,the new items,characters,amiibos,and the upcoming release of the 3DS amiibo peripheral device.Finish Mewtwo,then take a 5-year vacation.

Thank you so much Sakurai, you have put a lot of work into these Smash titles. Im sad to see Pic Of The Day end, but it was a funny and mysterious process. These Smash games will be played a lot. Thank YOU and the team!

That's actually a really nice thing to have done. I just want to say that from the depths of my heart, that I'm grateful for everything put into this game. I kinda hope that there'll be a PotD for Mewtwo's release but being able to play the game is reward enough. From me to the entire Smash Bros. staff. Thank you for everything.

Thanks Sakurai!

I still can't believe Japan is ACTUALLY getting a game LAST for once! That never happens! What's even more odd is that America actually got it first. But anyway, thank you Sakurai for all the hard work you did on this game! I can't wait to play on Christmas!

Sakurai, we all really respect and admire you. Well, at least, I personally do. You're a role model and inspiration to me and others. But please, it's not healthy to push yourself to such lengths, and don't be too hard on yourself. Whether or not you think it, you do the world a huge favor, what you do isn't meaningless, it inspires. Thank you Masahiro Sakurai.

Sakurai... please give us Snake and Ice Climbers!!!!!

Thank you for everything! :)

thanks Sakurai, and to everyone who helped working on the game! hopefully I'll be able to get the Wii U version when Christmas arrives!

SAKURAI WAIT BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOREVER PLEASE TELL US WHEN TOURNAMENT MODE IS COMING

Also, yeah, we can't all credit Masahiro Sakurai. What about the rest of the team you guys?

thank you mr sakurai for all your hard work

con esas letras, impresiona más.

Was an illusion to tske a look every day of what's new about SmashBros. Thanks Sakurai!

Thank you for this wonderful insight into the games! I will miss these posts!

Promise us you'll take a vacation this Spring, the moment you can. A really, really good vacation.

Can't wait to see gamexplain's reaction

You will always be remembered by all of us each time we go on the smash community. We thank you for all the hype you've given us but I have one last question... do you prefer Brawler, Swordfighter or Gunner. thank you :)

Thanks Sakurai. I hope you do this again for SSB5. This was an amazing way to get info out, and I'm looking forward to have Mewtwo as a playable character! Also, Ridley isn't too big.

Now that everyone has the opportunity to buy Sm4sh Wii U, will we get the tournements and Miiverse stage soon? :D

Thank you so much, this game amazing! You need to take a break after Mewtwo. Your awesome!

Thank you for all of your hard work on these two phenomenal games, Sakurai! I can't imagine how challenging of an undertaking it must have been, but I appreciate your dedication to the task!

Thank you, Mr. Sakurai ! when you finnish developing mewtwo, I hppe you take a well deserved vocation !

Farewell, POTD. As for Mewtwo, meh. I'm happy for all of his fans and for the Melee fans that never shut up about him.

Grandísimo trabajo Sakurai, ¡enhorabuena a todo el equipo de desarrollo por este enorme videojuego!

Rip.In.Pepperoni

We really do appreciate all this. Thank you Mr. Sakurai.

Remember, Sakurai is saying this from the perspective of a person who just poured years of his life into a game that physically drains him each time he makes it. He's tired. He needs rest. He needs to take some time away from the community that is still nagging him about the character decisions he made two years ago.

Developers like Mr. Sakurai and his team are the biggest reason I like Nintendo most. They truly care about the fans and will go great lengths to show it. Thank you everybody especially Mr. Sakurai for keeping the true heart of gaming and the fans happy. Now go hurry and relax before they Start asking for Super Smash Bros. 5. ;D

hats off to the hard work put in the great game but make sure to relax after it is all done, you have definitely earned it.

I'm so sad that pic of the day is ending. Thank you Mr. Sakurai for your devotion and for creating such an amazing game.

Awww! Kinda sad to see it end! But with the games out there's not really a need for it anymore! This was a fun ride! Now I think I'll play some SMASH! Thanks for everything Sakurai!

Thank you for all the hard work! Please get some rest! You deserve it.

Thanks Sakurai!!! It's been really enjoyable, waking up every weekday getting hyped for PotD :')

Thank you very much Sakurai for all you done for us hope to see mewtwo soon.Relax when all is done.

Its been fun, thanks for making the wait almost as fun as the game itself. Lol.

Thank you Sakurai (and your team) for all you hard work! Smash Bros for Wii U is my favorite game of all time, and it has been a pleasure to see all the pics of the day posted! I'm especially grateful for the inclusion of Mewtwo ;) I certainly hope that you have time for a well deserved vacation when the your work on smash 4 is done! Again, thank you Masahiro Sakurai!
