Character you'd look forward to unlocking MOST?

[ZagarTulip]

So since we do have our confirmed Starter Characters which are all the characters introduced in Smash 64, I was wondering which characters you would be looking forward to unlocking before any other characters. Everything introduced in Melee and After are ALL unlockable, so that should give you plenty of options.

For me I would look forward most to unlocking Bowser, Pichu and Snake.

Which Character(s) would you look forward to unlocking most? For the sake of this post, let's do confirmed characters and/or veterans.

I'm a HUGE fan of unlockables because I felt that Wii U/3DS cheapened the idea of getting unlockables fast just by doing certain things. Melee had a wonderful version of how to unlock people (Mewtwo and Pichu being two of the hardest when I was just a kid) plus Brawl's felt like a chore with the Subspace. I'd like to see them do it similar to Melee's version again

 

[Vanguard227]

I also hope the unlocking method is similar to Melee's. Seeing that challenger approaching screen after finally completing a tough unlock requirement was always hype. As for who I'm looking forward to unlocking the most, it would be Marth, Ike and Ganondorf. I've stuck with them, along with Link, throughout my entire Smash career. (Just look at my sig. lol)

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Obviously some will be a challenge others will be quite easy but this is the best part about smash bros you do a certain task then you hear that siren noise then see a silhouette of who's challenging you then do a 1 on 1 battle win to unlock battle and the best part you get to do it 50+ times this time the most out of every game

He said they are streamlined but definitely not so easy and fast a caveman can do and less than 24 hours type of difficulty for all them probably a 4th/3rd of them takes a tiny bit of climbing

If I get switch someday Ridley will hopefully be the first one to unlock

Maybe "beat classic with Samus on #.# diffculty or higher" or "Ko the boss hazard on pyrosphere stage" (if this one comes back anyway)

Ridley. I've waited almost 17 years for him to finally make it into the roster, and you can sure as hell bet I'd have a massive grin on my face when I finally get to unlocking him. Also the fact that I feel it makes a ton of sense to have him unlockable since do you really think he's the kind of character who would just let any person control him immediately? Nah, you gotta beat him first if you want to play as him.

Agreed easily theory one will be beating classic with either Samus on a certain difficulty in whatever mode

 

[Zinith]

Yoshi is my life, my everything so I'm not too invested in who I want to unlock...

But if I have to go with someone, it'd be Shulk...

 

[SSBBDaisy]

All these. With the first three being in that exact order

EDIT: Also Geno cause I have faith that he will be in the game as a playable character not an assist trophy or a custom Mii outfit

 

[Pirate Goomba]

I'm amazed that Ridley actually is a fighter.

As for unlocks - Likely going to be x amount of KO's on multiplayer OR a single player condition.

Beat story mode hard with 3 stocks with Samus to get the chance to vs Ridley to unlock him. (64 smash style) would be best.

 

[staindgrey]

Daisy. All Daisy. I've been campaigning for her inclusion since before Brawl's release.

Plus, since I've never mained Peach before, I want to get into training mode with Daisy as soon as I possibly can so I don't fall behind.

After that? Probably Inklings. Just because I friggin' love Splatoon.

 

[CaptainAmerica]

Pokémon Trainer.
Zelda.
And Riddles of course.

I miss Squirtle most, and I usually have Zelda, Dorf, Ike, and DHD with high playtimes. Can’t wait to play Ridley though.

 

[Heatswave]

I also hope for Melee-like unlocking methods, that was so much fun back in the days...

As for who I want to unlock the most (assuming we get the orignal 12 as starting characters):

 

[WaddleMatt]

I'm gonna be boring and say everyone. Just being able to see every Smash character thats ever been in the series in one game on one screen will be amazing.

 

[TheSpitefulWolf]

just wanting megaman back so i can play the game normally

good ****ing luck deciphering what ****ing road leads to him tho XD

 

[Galgatha]

I look forward to unlocking everybody :D That will always be my first priority when it comes to Smash!

But in all seriousness, my 2 mains, Falco and Bowser Jr. I need my mains

Brawl actually had several ways to unlock each character. Typically, you could either play so many VS. matches or fulfill certain requirements. Both of which involved a battle. One or two may have even had more criteria. People seem to forget that.

 

[Fenriraga]

All the third parties. Brawl's release night was the first time I ever pulled an all nighter, with all of my friends from school. We wanted Sonic, so badly. No one made us more excited.

At the time, we only knew Sonic took 300 matches to unlock, but we didn't want to wait. So we ran through classic mode ten times, alternating each time to keep ourselves going. We weren't even sure if that was a legitimate way, since Sonic was apparently the only character with 4 unlock methods.

But he showed up with that siren, and we cheered. They handed the controller to me, since it was my copy.

...Aaaand I lost.

Then I went back through as Mario.

Finished him off with a Final Smash (God forbit if Sonic's AI got that thing...) and we popped off my basement couch. It was one of the single greatest moments of my gaming career.

I want to experience something even close to that again.

Right. The biggest letdown of it was just going through Subspace and be able to get almost all the characters in 1-2 days as opposed to Melee

 

[solskenslakt]

Super obvious, but honestly Zelda, especially because of all the (mostly subtle but important) buffs she's got. The possibility of Zelda finally being viable is just exciting. I have always loved playing her so I'm very happy they kept her mostly the same and just addressed some very obvious issues she had. Even if she ended up still being bottom tier, I'd be pleased with what they've changed.

 

[Tino]

The first three are a priority. The others can wait.

 

[The Smash Nerd II.0.]

um.. getting the smash fain back ultlucina:and some new ones

 

[KirbyWorshipper2465]

Being reacquainted with the Ice Climbers will feel nice, after such a long time.

Also, it's a we, Wario! , and maybe these guys.

 

[YoshiandToad]

let me get my hands on those sweet sweet Toad grapples.

Also with their new techniques look interesting and of course because newcomers are always fun.

 

[Infoholic]

Honestly I cant wait to unlock everyone :V

 

[Tollhouse]

I hope you can unlock them all through vs mode like in melee and brawl. I'm like gonna get the game at its midnight release and play free for alls with friends until like 5am in the morning unlocking stuff. I can't wait!

 

[-crump-]

I’ll definitely be gunning for because I missed them so much in Smash 4. Can’t wait to finally see them in glorious HD!!

Also will be very exciting to unlock and becuase I’m dying to see how they play.

 

[Putuk]

Probably Ivysaur. I love Dedede, but I havn't seen Ivysaur for such a long time, I can't wait to see how she plays in the new game.

After that? I'll probably see how Dedede has changed, which is hopefully quite a bit, since he was one of the bottom 4 in Smash 4.
And even after that? I'm also interested in Lucas, Zelda and Inkling, but I really need to figure out how they feel. I got a feeling I might just really enjoy the Inkling.

 

[JazzaDawg]

Marth obviously but i'm hell exited for wolf's return

 

[AIM0001]

Priority number one and two is to unlock my mains Wario and Bowser. After that is to get King K. Rool and Geno if he somehow gets in haha. I’m dreaming hard guys! Dreaming real HARD!

 

[Jexulus]

Mii Brawler because it's by far the most fun Mii for me to mess around with, especially when I play one with a dumb costume like the Cat Costume and chuck the Shot Put at people. That said, I really like the overhaul the Miis have gotten, and if their major design issues are fixed, that counter grab is definitely going to be one of the most fun things to use.

Mega Man because he was just on the cusp of clicking for me, but I just couldn't mesh with his playstyle in Smash 4. I'm hoping the combined engine changes and character-specific changes help me understand him a little better.

Mewtwo because my profile picture.

And Ridley, because if I wait too long to unlock him, he might not fit in the character select screen.

 

[Gallowglass]

I would really want to unlock that secret obscure character that Sakurai sneaked in and didn't announce. Just like how it was before when you unlocked someone like Ness or Marth and went, "Who is that?"

 

[kool2419]

,,,,
These five right here.

 

[soviet prince]

ridley of course

 

[smashingDoug]

Bowser tbh. Felt like he should of be hidden in melee

 

[mechmaster90]

Snake, ZSS and Ridley.

 

[Peachach]

Daisy, simply because I've been maining Peach since Melee.

 

[Glitch_Wiz]

Everyone. Just... everyone. Even though I dislike how most of them play, i'd just want everyone. If I had to pick though... it'd be a tough choice, but I'd go for Shulk.

 

[Milky2Milk]

Pichu is basically my main already...

 

[MrRoidley]

Definitely and . I just want to go through unlocking the characters since it was the most fun part of all games to me, especially Melee.

In fact, I'd love to see unlocking methods being a more streamlined Melee. As in, no of course "complete Classic with all characters except x to unlock x", but, idk, nods like "complete Classic with all Melee veterans to unlock G&W"? that'd be cool (and obviously no Mewtwo unlocking method please)

Like, clones/semiclones could be easily unlocked like "complete Classic with (original character)". In the case of Toon Link/Young Link and Lucina/Roy, I guess "complete Classic with (character unlocked first)" could work. Falco could be hidden behind 100-man Melee like in the other games. If the SSB64 unlockables are indeed unlockables this time around, I guess Luigi's unlocking method could again be related to the number 2 like in Melee?

There are many possibilities of how they could keep it simple, yet interesting. Brawl kept it too simple up to the point it felt like a chore at points, while I'm sure if I didn't ever look in a walkthrough, I would never have figured out some of the SSB4's unlocking methods since they were kinda weird, imagine to someone that legit didn't know which were the unlockables.

Plus, of course, for the crowd that skips singleplayer, the "x VS matches" method must come back. I guess each 5 or 10 matches could work well considering we'll get around 60 unlockable characters?

 

[Tornado_Man]

Of course for me it has to be . After that though, either or .
