In 2007 up to the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. Dojo!!, the website dedicated to information about the game and hosted by the game's chief developer Masahiro Sakurai, underwent a redesign and proceeded to show pieces of new information about the game at a rate of once every weedkay. Each update provided by Sakurai to the site is reworded and reposted here.
List of updates
- May 24: "The Basic Rules": The site opened up with this basic description of how Smash-style gameplay looks like. Little new content was revealed, but what was revealed was a redesign of the damage counters at the bottom of the screen, showing the character's facial portrait in addition to the universe symbol and health meter.
- May 24: "Battlefield": The site also opened up with a more in-depth description of the Battlefield stage. The stage's apparent Day/Night cycle was clarified and made official.
- May 24: "The Musicians": The site finally opened up with what is probably the complete list of videogame musicians credited with contributing to the game. The eye-raisingly long list of 36 separate musicians is characterized as amazing by Sakurai. The music for the Battlefield stage was posted on the site, and it is revealed to be a remixed version of Melee's Menu 1 theme.
- May 25: "Mario": Mario is given his official section as a character, described as a "Veteran Fighter". Little new information is provided, apart from graphical updates and sceenshots of generic moves.
- May 25: "Link": Link is given his official section as a character just like Mario, described as a "Veteran Fighter" by the site. Little new information is provided, but one notable occurrance in the update is that one of the screenshots features Link aiming his bow while crouching. It is unclear if this is simply how he poses now when he charges it, or if he can charge while crouching.
