[This news is about an event held in Japan only, but you might be interested in checking out the comments from Mr. Sakurai! User names and the hashtag have been left in Japanese.]
Round 2 of the Smash Art Dojo contest was held a few days back, with players competing by posting funny snapshots using the #スマブラ画 hashtag. The theme is #大好き (Love) in its many forms.
We present some of these snapshots to you, along with comments from game director, Mr. Masahiro Sakurai! Enjoy!
