Starting from E3 2013, [[Masahiro Sakurai]] began posting one new screenshot from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' every weekday in the [[Miiverse]] community known as the '''[https://miiverse.nintendo.net/titles/14866558073037299863/14866558073037300685 Director's Room]''', as well as on the [[Super Smash Bros. 4 Official Site|official website]] for the games. Known as the "pic of the day" series, it was initially just a posting of a screenshot with no information or comment about it provided, but after the start of July he also began adding comments, that were a remark about the screenshot or information about what the screenshot was portraying. In the beginning, the pic of the day series mostly consisted of random screenshots with Sakurai giving no real information about the game, with few being updates of actual information, and barely any of them being something significant. As the series went on however, the proportion of them being updates with actual information gradually increased, and since the start of 2014, nearly all of them have been some sort of informative update, with each week having multiple significant updates. This page is an archive of these posts.

|image=Riki Assist Trophy SSB4.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. The legendary hero [[Riki]] appears as an Assist Trophy and in {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s [[Shulk's Final Smash|Final Smash]]!! As an Assist Trophy, he uses many arts like Happy Happy, Freezinate, and Yoink! He sounds a bit like [[Tingle]]…but don't worry, Tingle will make an appearance too.
By the way, a cursor will appear above Assist Trophies and Pokémon to indicate which fighter is its ally. Now you can tell right off the bat who it belongs to!!
|notes=Confirms Riki as an assist trophy. Also explains a new feature for Assist Trophies in general.

|image=3DS All-Star Mode Description.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. This time, you can challenge every fighter in [[All-Star Mode]] from the moment you turn on the game!! This is a survival battle with limited recovery items and no option to continue. However, this mode will be incomplete until you've unlocked every fighter... Until then, you can only play against characters that are already available. This is a picture of the bottom-screen menu, with a padlock indicating that the mode is still incomplete.
|reply=In these battles, multiple opponents appear in one stage, and you clear the battle by defeating a number of them. The rest area that appears between battles displays the next opponents and the year the characters made their first appearances, and it also holds recovery items and an occasional reward. The characters you fight against appear pretty much in chronological order. Behold, the history of Nintendo games!!
|replyimage=3DS All-Star Mode PotD.jpg
|notes=Reveals that All-Star Mode is available from the start and gains more characters as they are unlocked. Also shows that characters are faced based on chronological order of their individual debut, rather than faced in order of series debut as they were in ''Brawl''.

|image=SSB4 Samus colors 1.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. Until now, you were only able to choose from four, or sometimes five or six [[Palette swap|colors]] for each character. This time, though, all characters have eight colors to choose from! The first four color schemes for {{SSB4|Samus}} are based off her Varia Suit, Fusion Suit, Gravity Suit from Super Metroid, and the Dark Suit.
|reply=…And here she is in the color schemes of the Gravity Suit from Metroid Prime, Green Samus (a regular in the Smash series), the Light Suit, and Dark Samus. A total of eight colors.
|replyimage=SSB4 Samus colors 2.jpg
|reply2=You can choose between four male and four female {{SSB4|Villager}}s to play with. The designs for their faces and clothes are different. And here are the four Villagers we haven't shown you yet.
|reply2image=SSB4 Villager colors 2.jpg
|notes=Confirms all characters will have [[Palette swap (SSB4)|eight colors]] available to them, and reveals the remaining ones for Samus and Villager.

|image=SSB4 Smash Run Run.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. Here's one of the final battles in Smash Run, called "Run!" As you'd expect, it involves you dashing toward the finish line. In general, the fighters who are fast by default, equipped with speed-boosting equipment, and powered-up with speed boosts over the course of that Smash Run will have the advantage. However, speed isn't the only factor that will determine who will be victorious...
|reply=Those red things in the picture are called danger zones, and if you touch one, you'll get penalized by respawning farther back in the stage!! The danger zones disappear after someone else touches them, so fighters following those in the lead will have an advantage. You can still find speed boosts throughout the stage, so it'll be a heated battle 'till the end!!
|replyimage=SSB4 Smash Run Run 2.jpg
|reply2=Here's another final battle called "Climb!" Obviously, those that can jump or fly higher will have the advantage, but they also have to avoid the danger zones!! It gets pretty challenging if you've boosted your speed too much, as well. Everyone really gets into this when playing multiplayer.
|reply2image= SSB4 Smash Run Climb.jpg
|notes=Confirms the name of the previously seen "Danger Zones".

|text=Pic of the day. So what is this Games & More option in the menu? I assume that some people may use this mode the most.
|reply=This is what you see after you click on Games & More. There are many modes to choose from. There's the Options button, too.
|replyimage=SSB4_Menu_2.jpg
|reply2=Futhermore, this is what the screen looks like after you click on Solo. In the Stadium, you can find the Home-Run Contest, various Multi-Man Smash challenges, and Target Blast!

In your Album, you can view pictures you've taken of fighters posing. Photos taken with the 3D Depth Slider on will take photos in stereoscopic 3D, and photos will be in 2D when they're taken with that feature turned off.

|image=Classic Mode Roulette.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. In Classic mode, a roller spins before every stage to determine your reward. Rewards in red are for customization, green ones are trophies, and yellow means precious gold. Of course, if you raise the intensity, the abundance of these rewards will increase quite a bit, too. You can be rewarded in every stage, so in that way this mode might be a little more generous compared to previous games in the series.
|reply=And here's the results screen. It shows what you gained in each stage, but you won't be rewarded until you clear it all. If you mess up in the middle, you can lose some of them too. The fighter icons are special attacks, and icons like the shield are equipment. The icons that say Mii on them are hats and clothes for Mii characters. Icons that show characters on a stand are trophies, of course, and the coins are gold you earned.
|replyimage=Classic Rewards.jpg
|notes= Confirms how rewards for Classic Mode will work. Also shows off a few trophies. Also reveals that Mii Fighters can be fought in Classic Mode similar to the [[Fighting Polygon Team]] in ''Smash 64''.

The stage is Battlefield, and the rules are fixed. There will be a few items and assist trophies available too. You can battle via local wireless, so have fun battling with your friends. For users outside of Japan, stay tuned for more news about the demo for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Screen shot is from Japanese version.
|reply=The only mode available on the demo version is Smash, but I also left open a feature called Tips. Just remember to tap that button. You'll figure the rest out once you do.

|reply=They are different characters, so they each get their own title treatment on the character-selection screen. See? It says Alph.

|image=SSB4 World Status.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. This is the World Status you can see in Spectator mode. The game isn't released yet so the map looks pretty plain now, but I wonder what it'll look like once it's out? Also, this is where you can see all sorts of stats being tallied up. In Group play and Spectator mode, you can see characters you haven't unlocked yet, so watch out if you don't want to be spoiled.
|reply=Even if you don't want to be spoiled, it might be wise to select the Online option at least once before you start the game. Your Global Smash Power won't appear until the first time you connect to the internet. Not only that, but there could potentially be a patch available that can resolve potential issues, like the one being released now for the Japanese version of the game. For the package version, updates can be pre-downloaded to your system even before you purchase the game, so make sure you look out for them.

|image=SSB3DS Conquest.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. Now that the game is out in Japan, the [[Conquest]] mode will be available in online multiplayer in the Japanese version. This is what the title screen will look like for the overseas version. In this mode, the game aggregates global wins among specific teams during a limited time and determines the victor. If you choose a participating fighter from the With Anyone option, you'll automatically participate in Conquest. We'll be running Conquest in beta for a while.
|reply=Also, Conquest data where players seem to be losing on purpose will be removed from the calculations. And lastly, there's no point in working on this mode too much on your own, so don't overdo it…

|text=Announcement: Originally, the pic of the day was only supposed to continue for about two months, but I've ended up posting pictures until even today. The 3DS version has already been released in Japan, so I would like to talk about how future posts will be handled.<br><br>First, I will not talk about hidden features until the game is released overseas. On the other hand, I definitely will talk about them after the game is released abroad.<br><br>In addition, I am planning to continue making posts at least until the Wii U version is released. I haven't decided if I'll go by the Japanese version release or the release of versions abroad, but the point is that I'll continue posting for a little bit longer.<br><br>Pic of the day won't focus on introducing new information anymore in the near future, but I hope to entertain you with interesting and funny photos like I originally intended to.

|replyimage=SSB4-U Castle Siege Throne Room.jpg
|reply=Most of the games in the Fire Emblem series have a different unique setting and have fields without much height, so it was hard to narrow down what venues to focus on. Castle Siege and Colosseum are two stages that aren't exclusive to specific games in the franchise.

|image=SSB4_Music_Change_3DS.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. For the 3DS version, you can select alternate tracks for stages by holding down the R Button while you select the stage--the brown drop shadow that frames the stage image when you hold down the R Button indicates the alternate track is active. For the Living Room stage, the alternate track is the vocal version of the default track. Songs with vocals aren't the best match for battles, but the song was too good to leave out, so this is how we chose to include it.
|reply=Also, For the Boxing Ring, if you select the stage while holding down the L Button, you can play on the Smash Bros. version of the stage. If you hold down the Y Button, you can choose to play on the Punch Out! version.  These variations are usually selected at random, but this method lets you select them manually.

In this picture, the outlines may seem faint, but the color intensity is consistent. This means that the farther away and smaller your fighter appears on the screen, the clearer the colors will look.
|notes=Confirms that in both versions, characters will no longer be forced into their red, blue, or green [[palette swap]]s for team battles thanks to outlining.

|image=SSBU Sheriff.jpg
|text=Pic of the day. This assist trophy is [[Sheriff]]. Sheriff was an arcade game released in 1979. In this game, the players aim by choosing one of eight directions to shoot using a second joystick separate from the one that controls movement. It was quite a revolutionary game for its time. For shooting games overseas, it's common to see games that utilize the left stick to move around and the right to determine the direction to shoot, so we can say the origin of modern shooting games was this game--which is pretty remarkable.

This game seems to never run out of easter eggs, even if you play it normally. Knowing that this will get translated into multiple languages, I shouldn't go overboard with the contents, though....

|text=Pic of the day. Classic mode in the Wii U version is set up like a battle coliseum with multiple fighters teamed up with each other. Move your trophy and join in anywhere you want. You can see faint images of stages on the platform--the number of fighters clustered on those images indicates the number of fighters you'll face. As you can see, this feature leverages the fact that the game supports multiplayer with up to eight players.
|reply=After each battle, the fighters that lost get blown away!! The fighters remaining on the field will once again team up with other fighters on the field. You can actually choose fighters you've blown away to join your team in team battles. A rival will always appear in this mode, and the longer that character survives, the stronger it will get.

However, for the Wii U version, as you raise your intensity it looks like you're falling deeper into the underworld. The very bottom looks ferocious.
|reply=The field in Classic mode has five different backgrounds determined by the intensity level. On low intensity, the background looks peaceful, but on high intensity, the atmosphere gets pretty intimidating.

So I'll stop myself from saying too much--just try playing this mode three times with your friends. Smash Bros. will definitely feel even more like a party if you try this out.
|reply=There are three types of game boards. If you turn on the Custom Fighters option, the fighters will be preset with custom special moves. The number on a fighter's portrait on the game board indicates which custom move set that fighter is using--this also adds to the randomness of this mode.
