The reason for the recent lull in updates is that Sakurai was planning for a 12/3 release, so he wanted to release the starters before the game, that's why we got so many characters early. Then he realized the game wouldn't make it in time and had to slow down so we would have character updates closer to release, by the way Captain Falcon could possibly be an unlockable character, possibly why he hasn't been revealed.

Doesn't matter who's unlockable or not, Sakurai is releasing the whole roster b4 the game comes out

Actually, Sakurai said he wanted to release EVERY character before the game released.
Sonic The Hedgedawg
Smash Hero
probably the case despite what others keep thinking.
I mean the definitely needs to be some secrecy or there will be no surprises... which would be dull...
though the 2 month delay meens that more characters than he wanted to reveal will probably get revelaed
He may have said that, but I doubt he'll release every character
Well...let's see how much room there is for updates...
So far we haven't seen these updated:
Final Smashes
1) Wario
2) Zero Suit Samus
3) Ike
4) Meta Knight
5) Snake
6) Lucas
7) Sonic
8) King DeDeDe
9) Zelda
10) Ice Climbers
Special Moves
1) Meta Knight
2) Lucas
3) Kirby
4) Pikachu
5) Samus
6) Zelda
7) Bowser
8) Donkey Kong
9) Yoshi
10) Peach
11) Ice Climbers
I have a hunch. We all know Sakurai doesn't update old news, right? I bet he will not update a Special Moves section to a veteran character who doesn't have anything new to their moveset. (Mario got one because his down B is different; Link got one because his moveset is based on his Twilight Princess arsenal) Most of the vets will not get a Special Move s section. (which is why I have them in red)
So, around 12+ future updates will be on Final Smashes and Special Moves...
Consider we have around 65 more updates until release...
Subtract the item/mode/online/etc. updates which could be around 25 more updates and subtract the "12" updates...which equals:
~33 updates. Take a third of that (a third of character updates are character introductions) which = 11.
~11 more characters ...in left to be introduced. Of course, my method of solving that is severely flawed...so I don't even know why I bothered...
And of course, I left out double/triple updates as a factor which could become common later on...who knows?

No reason for him to become an unlockable character after being a starter in Melee; Sakurai simply hasn't felt like revealing him yet.

As for the rest, you could be wrong. Don't...estimate(?) Sakurai(?) I guess...(?)

I thought it was the giant "Fart Explosion" shown in one of the first trailers?
Uh, as far as I'm aware there hasn't been any Lull in updates at all. hey've been there, regular as always and they're still just as good. I mean, before you posted this Sakurai revealed Custom Stages. That's no lull.
