Newcomer is a term used to refer to any playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series who was introduced in a game other than the first. Note that a "newcomer" isn't necessarily a secret character. The term was first used in the first trailer for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where any new character that appeared had their name flash up on the screen in the first shot showing them in their entirety with the title "Newcomer" above it. The term "newcomer" was later used on the Smash Bros. DOJO!! site whenever a new character was revealed to be playable (not including the unlockable newcomers).
