As far as I'm concerned, from the wiki's perspective, a surprise character is that who never conformed the original 45 roster, which was scrapped with the development reboot, but remember the wiki tracks SSF2's development history before that. Therefore, Jigglypuff, Captain Falcon, and Zero Suit Samus are NOT surprise characters. Black Mage, Bomberman, Marth and Chibi-Robo are so far the only true surprise characters. If surprise characters were those who got added before announcement, then Yoshi, Tails, Wario, Peach, Pikachu, Zelda and Sheik would be surprise characters. This is getting off-topic so I'm closing this.
