Two small updates on the Smash Bros. Brawl front today. First, character profiles have been added for Zero Suit Samus and Wario over at official Smash Bros. Brawl site. It mentions that Zero Suit Samus "isn't a pure character addition" and that players can still use the old power suit version if they want. Thus it sounds more like an alternate outfit or "mode" for the character, maybe like Zelda/Sheik in Melee. For Wario, it points out that this is the WarioWare version of the character, not the old Waro World version, and that Wario's gas attack (must this game have fart jokes?) "builds up" over time.

Secondly, an early translation of SSBB designer Masahiro Sakurai's online journal suggests that not all characters from Melee will be returning. He also mentions that the speed of the game is going to be adjusted, though he doesn't say whether it will be faster or slower. Finally, the team is said to be working on expanding the fighting that goes on in the air.
