*'''November 21: "Color Changes"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/technique08.html]: Reveals the return of [[alternate colors]] for fighting characters, with each character having about six different colors this time. Alternate colors for several characters, such as Fire Mario, Yeti DK, Dark Link, Zelda as her colors were in Melee, and Fusion Samus, are shown. | *'''November 21: "Color Changes"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/technique08.html]: Reveals the return of [[alternate colors]] for fighting characters, with each character having about six different colors this time.

*'''November 22: "Saki Amamiya"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/assist/assist12.html]: The character from the game ''[[Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Earth]]'', [[Saki Amamiya]], is confirmed as an assist trophy. With his unique armament called a Cannon Sword, he attacks with close-up sword slashes, jumps into the air, and shoots powerful projectiles. | *'''November 22: "Saki Amamiya"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/items/assist/assist12.html]: The character from the game ''[[Sin and Punishment (universe)|Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Earth]]'', [[Saki Amamiya]], is confirmed as an assist trophy.

*'''November 23: "Lucas: Final Smash"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/lucas.html#3rd]: Lucas' Final Smash is the [[PK Starstorm]], in which he calls down a vertical rain of large glowing meteorites to blast down through the stage.

*'''December 5: "The Battle for the Smash Ball"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/technique09.html]: A How to Play update that uses a story, more or less, to further explain additional elements and aspects to the [[Smash Ball]] and [[Final Smash]]es. The Smash Ball will be floating across the stage when it appears, and a character can only be able to use their Final Smash by breaking the ball with attacks, rather than grabbing it as was the previous belief. When the character has the telltale fiery aura around them, they can use the Final Smash by simply pressing the button for the Neutral Special move without any directional input. But if they are attacked, the Smash Ball may reappear out of the character for somebody else to break and acquire. The update also reveals a system called the [[Pity Final Smash]], where in long matches where one player is losing a lot of lives/points they may return to the stage with the Final Smash aura on them already as a sort of "bonus chance". Finally, the [[Item Switch]] menu is confirmed to return, with Smash Balls being one of the items whose appearance rates can be turned off and on. | *'''December 5: "The Battle for the Smash Ball"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/howto/technique/technique09.html]: A How to Play update that uses a story, more or less, to further explain additional elements and aspects to the [[Smash Ball]] and [[Final Smash]]es.

*'''December 5: "X: Tunnel Scene"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music16.html]: This music file is one of reportedly a handful added to the game by Sakurai simply because he liked it and was not influenced by popular opinion to include it. The music itself comes from a Japan-only Game Boy game named ''[[X (game)|X]]'', and Sakurai confirms there won't be any stage based on ''X'' in Brawl; there will be songs playing on stages themed after certain games and franchises that hail from other games that are completely unrelated. | *'''December 5: "X: Tunnel Scene"''' [http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/music/music16.html]: This music file is one of reportedly a handful added to the game by Sakurai simply because he liked it and was not influenced by popular opinion to include it.
