Here you can look at the requirements for unlocking characters and stages. Highlight only the criteria line if you don't wish to see what you'll unlock by doing it. Remember not to quote the post or you'll see everything. I originally wrote this post for NeoGAF but I figured I'd cross-post it here since there seem to be quite a few people here avoiding spoilers who might want to know HOW to unlock someone but not necessarily who.
