The countdown is over. The Smash Bros. Dojo has finally relaunched and is promising daily weekday updates from this point forward. There aren't any new character announcements or videos to accompany the reopening, but there is an insight into the game's music team. Its very large, star-studded music team. Before getting to that, though, here's a rundown of what the blog-structured site has updated with.
The first blog post shows players how to play the game. Anyone who has been rapidly hitting F5 at the site should already know the basics, but a few screenshots demonstrating the actions show parts of what appears to be a previously unseen stage.
Second is the introduction of the basic stage, seen in both trailers released for the game thus far, which are also available on Smash Bros. website. Battlefield has three simple platforms that don't move, but the background can change between day, evening night and dawn time periods.
The most exciting update, however, comes in the form of a list of game musicians and composers who will be contributing to the game's soundtrack. A whopping 36 of Japan's most talented music men, including those from Nintendo, Konami, grasshopper, GAME ARTS, HAL Lab and more are on the list, which also includes Yasunori Mitsuda (formerly of Square) who worked on games like Chrono Trigger and Xenogears, Tomoko Sasaki from NiGHTS and way too many other talented people to list here. Just look at the list and you'll be impressed.
It's important to note that the list of games these composers worked on does not necessarily mean we'll see characters from those games or game series in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Then again, if this many people from all of these different game companies have their hand in Brawl's development, maybe that's a sign of some sort?
NWR will have more information on Super Smash Bros. Brawl later this week. Stay tuned!

Yoko Shimomura Kingdom Hearts series
Sora playable! I just wet my pants.
I know this is far from confirmation but I can dream.

But it is fun to speculate!

Quotethe page says 2007 in non-PAL regions, and since he's in Australia, his assumption might be right :/

Well, considering the page says 2007, it's just you.

That doesn't confirm that either of them will be playable.

Probably forever.

Master Chief in Brawl.
Hey, it could happen. It would really help the idea of the "Wii60" combo.

Yeah, I know. Joke was too good to pass up.

Most of the Killer7 characters used guns, though.
Since two Grasshopper composers are in there, I expect Travis Touchdown, actually.
He has the necessary melee weapon and his presence would boost sales of NMH dramatically.

Mask de Smith uses explosives. He'd be pretty bad ass. Plus he already has multiple skins from the game.

It would SERIOUSLY boost sales of SUDA's game, and it's an M rated game at that which will make the Wii look that much more favorable for M games.
As cool as Mask would be, I'd think the potential sales of NMH would be far more worth it (unless they released a Wii port of K7).
