Old rivalries live on!
Any chance that you'll have to play through the World of Light adventure to unlock characters? It would definitely reference the Subspace Emissary's unlocking method.

It would be neat if stadium was back so fighters actually had fun ways to be unlocked. (Target smash, 100 man melee, homerun, events... the list of missing modes is endless and quite disappointing) It would’ve been more fun if we had a throwback to melee with game&watch being unlocked via target smash with all characters.It would be neat if there was an option that let you unlock fighters in a random order
Well, hopefully not the super hard ways of unlocking in melee......It would be neat if stadium was back so fighters actually had fun ways to be unlocked.

Yeah, it was tough back then, but it felt so much more rewarding to unlock thingsWell, hopefully not the super hard ways of unlocking in melee......
Oh gosh... Bless those who get review copies. They'll be spammed SO much with messages from eager fans.I have to admit it's still a little annoying we don't have any clue of all the criteria for unlocking characters. Obviously the adventure mode within Spirits is probably going to be considered the most streamlined way to do it as was Subspace in Brawl. And then there's the rumor about Amiibo unlocking characters if you have characters outside of the Original 8. But it'd be nice to at least know if some characters can be unlocked through Classic Mode or Multi-Man/All-Star modes.
I also imagine the Vs. Match method would return as well. But even if it's the same pattern of 10 vs. matches per character. That's more then 650 vs. matches. It wasn't so bad to do Vs. matches in Smash 4 since it only took a little over 100 due to the Starting roster being so huge. But in Ultimate it's only the original 8.
If all the characters can be unlocked through Classic Mode. I may prefer doing that. But yeah, i hope we get more information on unlocking characters soon. Hopefully there's information about unlocking from people who get review copies a week or so before release and what not. I want to know as many unlock criteria as possible before release.
I would imagine that only applying for a few characters such as unlocking Dark Samus by beating Classic Mode with Samus or unlocking Dark Pit by beating Classic Mode with Pit.If all the characters can be unlocked through Classic Mode..
YesI hope there are alternatives to 10vsMatches and World of Light, it's more satisfying when I trigger by performing a special task. But I'm concerned due to how little side modes there are, that might not be the case.
First thing I'm doing is an 8 player match, followed by classic as Samus. That should answer it for me. I don't want to start World of Light until I have every character. I like my challenger approaching screen too much
Remember smash 4? That took everything we loved about unlocking things and removed it, and you only needed about 110 vs matches to unlock things (which really only took 2 hours because 1v1 final destination with 1 stock).But really they would never remove the siren of a challenger approaching and have to beat the character
There was an alternative for every character. It was just easier to do the matchesRemember smash 4? That took everything we loved about unlocking things and removed it, and you only needed about 110 vs matches to unlock things (which really only took 2 hours because 1v1 final destination with 1 stock).
Yea. But it still had it though it just made it easier to unlock characters and there were alternative means in smash 4 to unlock charactersRemember smash 4?

Confirmed in the last direct, I think.Are there any updates with regard to whether amiibos will outright unlock fighters? Confirmed? Deconfirmed? Still surrounded in mystery?
Wait, really? Does someone have a timestamp? I've watched that Direct multiple times, and I've missed any mention that amiibos definitively will unlock fighters.Confirmed in the last direct, I think.

Just went back and checked, and there was no mention of Amiibo unlocking fighters.Wait, really? Does someone have a timestamp? I've watched that Direct multiple times, and I've missed any mention that amiibos definitively will unlock fighters.
At the same time I get the intent Sakurai did there. Starting off with them is a reference/homage to the original N64 where you start off with them.I certainly hope World of Light isn't required to unlock fighters (quickly). I hope the rumor of Amiibos unlocking fighters ends up being true. It's gonna be awkward being forced to play those first 8P matches with only 8 fighters to pick from.
From what I heard Reggie said you can only unlock some that way not all.I haven't really read into how World of Light works but it seems like an Adventure mode of sorts, no?
I personally wouldn't mind running through that if I could unlock every character that way.
Can I get a source on Reggie saying this?From what I heard Reggie said you can only unlock some that way not all.
Play World of Light, it takes a lot longer.

Only..... a couple.....of hours to unlock 60+ characters
That’s worrying me that made it so easy a cave man can do it.
Gah, a little frustrating that the people who got to demo it had the full roster already unlocked for them and that any Nintendo contacts they had still wouldn't give anything about unlocking characters outside of World of Light were still mum about giving details on how they're unlocked.

I, for one, appreciate the smooth unlock path. I mean no disrespect to those who enjoy a slower pace with epic reveals, but I just want the roster open. I'm going to spend all my time learning fighters in great depth. The unlock phase just gets in the way of that (particularly since I'm not super interested in the starting 8). I'm grateful to Sakurai for making it easy for us to blast through this.
