I would expect this inclusion not to be the last time we see it happen as I assume its a VC game marketing strategy

Good news everyone! The characters announced thus far are playable from the outset: Smash Bros. DOJO!!
Therefore there are still plenty of characters that will be unlockable which we don't know about, so your favourite might still turn up! Luigi is probably at the top of the list for being an unlockable character, seeing as he's made appearances in the previous two. This update makes it unlikely that any more characters will be announced between now until the release of the game, because that screen looks like the finished article.

No that's not true I'm afraid. I can't see Snake or Sonic in that lineup.....

As much as I want to hide from all news about this game, I don't think I will be able to survive 4-5 months, which seems to be the wait we will be in for. The Dojo site is now updating with unlockable characters and things that weren't mentioned before, now the game has been released in Japan. I don't think I can resist not looking at the site.

The first secret update to the Dojo site has been added, not surprisingly it's an unlockable character. Luckily, they have now put all updates into a list, with ??? links to show that it will reveal a secret. It even prompts you to make sure you want to find out. The update details the character and shows you how to unlock him/her, which will come in very handy for when we get the game.
