The main timeline is for veterans and confirmed new-comers only. Any upcoming game releases/anniversaries taking in place after Smash Bros for 3DS's Japanese launch date are not included (When will a character be revealed, is the main subject of this thread, after all, and we'll know all characters by then with Smash Bros for 3DS in Japan). - Post-launch timeline under "unannounced SECRET FIGHTERS" spoiler section
For veterans, if confirmed getting cut/not returning. Don't lose your hopes, they might be revealed post-launch via DLC! - "For new-comers" spoiler section
For unconfirmed new-comers. The timeline in there is very special, as it lists trailers first, then list game releases/anniversaries under them. We have yet to see any new-comer revealed without a trailer. - "Bad dates" spoiler section
It contains all previous dates that we consider to be farfetched for a character reveal, and didn't even revealed for it. It was meant for researching purpose only. Future games and anniversaries will go to "bad dates" spoiler as well when all of respective veterans are confirmed.
