[This news is about an event held in Japan only, but you might be interested in checking out the comments from Mr Sakurai!]
Round 1 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 was "Matsuri," or Japanese festivals.
There are also comments from the game's director, Masahiro Sakurai!
