'''Newcomer''' is a term used to refer to any playable character in the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] who was introduced in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Please note that a newcomer isn't necessarily a [[unlockable character|secret]] [[character]]. By this time, all characters have been confirmed at the DOJO!!

A '''newcomer''' is a playable [[character]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. (universe)|''Super Smash Bros.'' universe]] who has been introduced into the series in a particular game, but did not exist in previous installments. By contrast, a [[veteran]] is a character who returns in new games after appearing as a playable character in previous games.

The term ''newcomer ''was coined in the first trailer for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', in which new characters were introduced with the title "Newcomer" atop the screen. The word newcomer was later used on the [[Smash Bros. DOJO!!]] site to classify new characters that were not [[Unlockable (disambiguation)|secret]]. However, the use of the term has since broadened and is now understood in the context of both ''[[Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. For example, Peach is considered a veteran fighter in ''Brawl'', but a newcomer in ''Melee''.

A newcomer is a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. universe who has been introduced into the series in a particular game, but did not exist in previous installments. By contrast, a veteran is a character who returns in new games after appearing as a playable character in previous games. Note that the definition of newcomers is distinct from that of unlockable, or secret characters, which are playable characters who must be unlocked by completing certain tasks.

The term newcomer was coined in the first trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, in which new characters were introduced with the title "Newcomer" atop the screen. The word newcomer was later used on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! site to classify new characters that were not secret. However, the use of the term has since broadened and is now understood in the context of both Melee and Brawl. For example, Peach is considered a veteran fighter in Brawl, but a newcomer in Melee.
