How to Unlock Characters

[Drack]

I'd like this information to be archived in one post. I'm not claiming credit for discovery of this or claiming this to be 100% accurate, I'm just pasting what I have read elsewhere. If you have more information or details please let me know.

Here's what I have so far:

Captain Falcon: Beat Classic Mode on Normal

Falco: Encounter in SSE

Jigglypuff: Complete Event match #20

Lucario: Defeat him in Subspace. You must choose Meta Knight as your character for this fight.

Luigi: Beat Classic on Easy

Marth: Beat Classic or play 15 vs matches. (some say you must use Ike in classic, others don't)

Ness: Play 5 multiplayer matches, reflect 10 projectiles, or "convince him to join you" in SSE.

Sonic: Complete Subspace Emissary

Snake: Encounter in SSE or play 10 vs matches on Shadow Moses Island.

Wolf:
To unlock Wolf, go to the stage "iseki" (Ruins). If you can't read Japanese and don't know which stage that is, it's in the eastern mountainous area, and the level has a lot of moving platforms and fire shoots from traps on the ceiling floor very often. Part-way through the level, you'll get to a flat platform that lowers you down a huge pit, and while being lowered down, there are large crystal spikes on the walls that will come out at you... On the way down, you'll see a door, which is likely the one most of us went in because it looks like you fall into a pit if you keep going down. Nevertheless, skip that door, and stay on that platform until it disappears. At the bottom of the pit is another door. Go in that one, and there will be Wolf cutscene.

I need info for Game & Watch, Ganondorf, Toon Link, ROB. Once it's posted I'll add it to this post.

kwl, now i can easily find out how to unlock characters, does anyone else think the unlockables are a little easier to unlock this time around?

 

[Dark Sonic]

Marth-beat classic mode. (The video showed Metaknight fighting , so you might have to use him.)

 

[Hejiru]

Wow, Ness is the easiest character to unlock ever. Play 5 matches? TOO HARD!

 

[LuisMa316]

Youcan also unlock most by playing SSE or simply have alot of matches.


After all in the dojo they said that there's 3 different ways to get ness.

 

[SolidSonic]

Its pretty easy to unlock all of them, which isn't really a good or bad thing for me.

 

[moneysworthless]

Sounds good to me, sooner you unlock these characters, the sooner you get to play with them. Unlocking Mewtwo was annoying...

 

[J18]

ok there has got to be an easier way to unlock sonic

Other method of unlocking Falco Confirmed

[gunterrsmash01]

did event 20 but no jiggly puff, do i need to beat all the events before 20 too?

 

[Meta_Sonic64]

I'm not complaining....that 24 thing to get mewtwo was crazy.

It sucked ***

 

[reothepenguin]

Thanks for this. Just what i needed.

 

[0RLY]

I remember when you had to play 1000 vs matches to get G&W, the last character in melee. Now you have to play 450 matches to unlock Wolf, the last character in brawl.

*Caps lock* Why is brawl so much easier than melee?! *One thousand exclamation marks*

 

[Desruprot]

I guess they put a lot in it, making less time for characters... Also they want more time for people to use Wifi or other things...

 

[J18]

wow for sonic there's 300 brawl matches as apposed to 10 classic

 

[Desruprot]

Actually what is Mr. Game & Watches's Count, He is ast 250 as opposed to 1000
Toon Link 400 and what did you have to do to get Young Link again?

so... we could go into vs mode, 1 stock matches, and just sucide 450 times?

 

[Jason777123]

good an easier way to unlock sonic beating classic with 10 characters is easier than 300 vs matches!

 

[Project Occasus]

I never unlocked characters through VS matches, unless I just didn't care about them. It seems a lot funner to do it the other ways. Although I may just take some time to do the first 22 matches or something and practice with some characters, since it's not much. Classic should be fun also, going through with all sorts of different characters.

 

[WarZ]

thanks man

 

[AllStars]

thanks for the info. ill make sure to do that now

 

[tutata]

Nice thanks for the info guys.

Hey, you're probably right, actually...

Why did they make Wolf so hard to unlock? That's quite frustrating.

 

[LuisMa316]

Its not thaT hard if you do it the SSE way.

Atleast it isn't like that 24 thing for Mewtwo.

 

[DreamHack619]

Well I read this on smashwiki under the "Did You Know Section" that all of the characters can be unlocked by playing 450 vs. matches!!! Which is what me and my buddys are gonna end up doing when we get the game just have us a weekend session and play it until we reach the 450 matches!!! It says it clear in writing if you want to know "http://smashwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page" under the did you know section on the right.

 

[ConeZone]

for snake, do you have to play 10 or 15 matches on shadow moses island?

 

[vCannino93]

there isn't any time based ones!? 0_0

"there isn't any time based ones!?"

There aren't any time-based ones.

 

[Tin]

Question.

Just 1 play through of SSE guarantees you ALL characters except for Wolf, Toon and Jiggles? So if I want ALL the characters, I would need to play through SSE 3 times.

Right?

Right?

You don't have to play through it 3 separate times, but if you do the certain path that unlocks all unlockable characters in one line, then go back to 3 specific places and unlock toon link, jigglypuff, and wolf, then you have all of the characters (I'm pretty sure)
