A new assist trophy and other random facts in this week's Smash roundup!

Welcome to This Week in Super Smash Bros., our weekly recap of the various updates, images, and information regarding the upcoming Super Smash Bros. games for Wii U and 3DS. Here's a look at what the game's creator, Masahiro Sakurai, shared with us this week, along with his comments.

Monday, 1/13/14: King Dedede (Character info)

King Dedede uses one of the strongest side smash attacks in all of Smash Bros. Use this attack wisely in battles.

Tuesday 1/14/14 - Rosalina and Luma (Character info)

Rosalina and Luma's attacks are very different. This screencap shows Rosalina producing a Saturnian ring for her strong up attack.

Wednesday, 1/15/14: Ashley (Assist Trophy)

Who's the girl next door, living in the haunted mansion? You'd better learn my name because it's…

Thursday, 1/16/14: King Dedede, Bowser, Mario, Donkey Kong (Random Screenshot)

A group shot of the big guys. How much bigger are they compared to Mario?

Friday, 1/17/14: King Dedede, Princess Zelda (Random screenshot)

Don't miss your chance, Zelda--King Dedede is knocked out.

I like this week ending review for these pictures. It will allow me to dissect and predict Sakuria's actions in one convenient spot.

As a huge fan of Majora's Mask I'm a little disappointed that Skull Kid isn't a playable character. In a similar fashion to Pokémon trainer, it might have been cool to see Skull Kid utilise the three transformations from Majora's Mask and to have them act as fighting stances.

Ah well. I'm just grateful that A Link Between Worlds and now Smash are acknowledging the existence of Majora's Mask. It gives me some hope that we'll eventually get that 3DS remake, and eventually a direct sequel (although I highly doubt the latter).
