== Brawl Section ==

Given the info in Ness's update, the opening paragraphs of the Brawl section could probably be updated.  Also, "Subspace Emissary" could be added next to everyone's name. [[User:The Inker|The Inker]] 16:10, February 7, 2008 (EST)

I updated how to unlock Falco right after I did it. Also, I'm about 99% sure that you need more than 10 vs. matches on Snake's stage to unlock him - its more like 15 or 20, though I'm not sure. '''-brdy'''

Jigglypuff is _not_ unlocked by event match 20 or by completing classic with anybody other than Ike. Perhaps it requires a specific difficulty level?--[[User:Holizz|Holizz]] 13:51, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

The Toon Link information is wrong, I think. The first time I completed classic was with Samus after the SSE, and that gave me Toon Link



== SSBB final characters ==
That information about not fighting them until after SSE might be wrong. I could have sworn I could fight Wolf during The Great Maze!

==Videos for Wolf and Toon Link==
Why not add their videos? Jigglypuff's in
I didn't do that because I don't know how to
and I'm too lazy to read the help ._.

== Captain Falcon in SSB ==

I see a problem here - Captain Falcon's 64 unlocking is listed as beating 1P mode in under 18 minutes on this page, but on his SSB page, the unlocking criteria is 15 minutes. I'm not big on SSB64, so I wouldn't know which one to correct, but if someone who does could, that'd be helpful.

== Unlocking Toon Link ==

On the article it says: Some people have reported not being able to unlock Toon Link in any way after unlocking Luigi.

I completed The Subspace Emissary first then I did Classic Mode on easy using Snake and I unlocked Toon Link.

== Qualify ==

What if you qualify for more than one character? <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:70.190.123.204|70.190.123.204]] ([[User talk:70.190.123.204|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/70.190.123.204|contribs]]) </small>
:You mean, what happens if you meet the unlock criteria for multiple characters at once? Well, I'm not positive, but I believe it goes like this:
:*If you're in most modes, once the match is over, you'll fight one of the characters to unlock them. The next time you finish a match in the same mode, you'll fight the next character who is waiting. (You might do the next unlock fight right after the first, though; I have no idea.)
:*In the Subspace Emissary, you just get all the characters you unlocked once you exit the mode.

:You are challenged by only one of the characters - I've found that it's the character who's most difficult to unlock, but that might just be coincidence.

==Requirements for unlocking Young Link==

== Source for SSB3DS requirements? ==

How have these requirements been figured out so early?

In any case, I think they may be incomplete.  Might there be other additional unlock conditions?  I just unlocked R.O.B. from a VS match, and the only two characters I haven't unlocked are Ganondorf and Game and Watch.  This would put my current VS match count somewhere between 70-80.  

Ironically, however, ''Jigglypuff is the only Pokemon that I've played through Classic mode with.''  Haven't touched it with a Mii Fighter either.  According to this list, I should not have Jigglypuff or Duck Hunt.  The only things I've done with non-Jigglypuff Pokemon is that I did Field Smash with Lucario, and Figure Rush with Pikachu.  (It appears that at some point I also tried Field Smash with a Mii Fighter, but I must've lost (score is just 35694).)

Update: Jigglypuff is unlocked after beating Classic ten times and Mr. Game & Watch after 5 rounds of Smash Run.



: '''Theory for Ness''': With an entirely fresh game, I played classic as Luigi on level 6, with one continue, and the boss being Master Hand & Crazy Hand. I unlocked Ness after doing so. I suspect the key element may have been beating Master Hand/ Crazy Hand. Also possible, but unlikely, was the fact that I defeated Master Hand ''first''. --[[User:Lewisgooose|Lewisgoose]] 11:50, 03 October 2014 (EST)

::I do not have video, but I partially corroborate the above claim; I unlocked Falco after completing Classic Mode against Master Hand, and I unlocked Ness after beating Master Core, though the former came about on a lower difficulty. Dark Pit came after the third try, even though I accidentally selected to go up against Master Hand.

:How about we use something like Jigglypuff for Smash 64, Mr. Game & Watch for Melee, R.O.B. for Brawl, Bowser Jr. for Smash 3DS & Duck Hunt Dog for Smash Wii U? They are all characters first introduced in each of those games and they were also unlockable in those. I realize that there are other characters that could be used too. These are just ideas. By the way, the trivia section states that Captain Falcon, Marth, Lucario, Luigi, Sonic, Ness, Wario, Toon Link & Jigglypuff are the only ones to be both starters & unlockables in separate iterations. Shouldn't Bowser Jr. & Ganondorf be added to that? [[User:Master Zach|Master Zach]] ([[User talk:Master Zach|talk]]) 14:10, 2 November 2014 (EST)

::::I've now beat it with Captain Falcon, Bowser Jr., Duck Hunt, Toon Link, Rosalina & Luma, Dr. Mario, ROB, and Olimar, no continues, and unlocked him. BUT, by doing so, it gave me a challenge box for beating it with 5 characters on intensity 2.0 or higher. Above intensity 2.0 I have beaten Captain Falcon, Bowser Jr., ROB, Olimar, and Toon Link. I bet that, besides whatever I got from the challenge box, that's also Mr. Game & Watch's unlock criteria.

:::::That makes sense to me. The easiest way to test it (for someone who can) would probably be this: Beat Classic on 2.0 with 4 characters, then less than 2.0 with one, and then on 2.0 with the same fifth one.

== Stubbornly incomplete data ==

How is it that every time I've updated info about unlocking Doctor Mario via Classic is NOT just using Mario it gets erased? Is this community really that unable to believe that there is more than just the assumed method? I did unlock Dr. Mario with Game & Watch in Classic mode, and yet it gets removed.

:Because I tested it myself, check the history of the page and look for my edit. What happened is you unlocked another character of a higher priority than Dr. Mario (i.e. Duck Hunt, Bowser Jr., Jigglypuff, R.O.B., Ganondorf or Mr. Game & Watch) when you met the unlock condition for Dr. Mario, thusly when you played classic with G&W you unlocked him. And unless you can give me video proof that you have not done Classic with Mario, nor done 60 matches I cannot add back your edits, I can't take your word for it without facts, sorry.

:: Interesting. Here's how I did it: I used every character in reverse order, then any character I unlocked got used (out of order, obviously). So, Mario was the very last to do Classic Mode. I also had done a total of zero VS matches (no one to do them with), though had already done all the other modes, doing Classic before All-Star after the rest. I unlocked Dr. Mario with G&W. It may be that some/all have a third unlock option, but no one has tried testing for them. I don't know why. I just know how I did it, and that I was quite shocked to get him from G&W as I'd assumed that it would have been via Mario as well. You're welcome to try a test of what I actually did, since that may be the thing.

== Slight consistency on the examples ==

I'd like to propose something that will make for slight consistency on the example "challenger approaching" screens that appear in that section. Since there isn't any one character who's unlockable in every game, I vote that we do something that's semi-consistent with different characters for each game. The only thing I could come up with though, is newcomers from each game. So say, Jiggly for Smash 64, Game & Watch for Melee, ROB for Brawl, Bowser Jr. for the 3DS version, and Duck Hunt for the Wii U version. I also went with non-clone, but clones are for some reason more recognizable for Melee and the 3DS version, so we might want to go with Falco and Lucina. Idk though. <small>---Preceding unsigned comment added by [[Special:MyPage|you]]. Or maybe [[User:Nutta Butta|Nutta.]] </small>  16:10, 28 May 2015 (EDT)

== Brawl Alternate Unlocking Method? ==
So I was reading TVTropes today when I noticed a peculiar example claiming that in ''Brawl'', if you fought a character that you haven't unlocked yet in an online match, that character is instantly unlocked after the match. I never knew this was possible, and when I checked this page, there was no info about it I could find. Can anyone verify if this unlock method is true or not? I'm kinda having my doubts about this method being legitimate, and it's pretty much untestable since they shut down Nintendo WFC. --[[User:Vinc420|Vinc]] ([[User talk:Vinc420|talk]]) 22:05, 29 March 2018 (EDT)
:I'm going to doubt that, using Smash 4 as evidence: I played against Serpent King with Duck Hunt (among other characters), and no such thing happened to him; I also used a handful of DLC characters against him with no errors. I know you said Brawl, but the thing about unlockable content (in any game) is that the content is there in the data, be it digitally or on the disc, and it's just hidden from the player in terms of accessibility.

:I recall watching someone play against a Lucario when they didn't have it unlocked, and they did not get Lucario afterward, so I am going to say no. Then again, this was a friend match, and the method in question seems to be referring to anonymous matches, so.... - [[User:EndGenuity|EndGenuity]] ([[User talk:EndGenuity|talk]]) 11:30, 30 March 2018 (EDT)

== Nothing actually confirmed for SSBU? ==

From what I can remember, Sakurai never explicitly stated that the starting roster will consist of the Original 12. He teased that it ''could'' be the case that you'd only start with the original 8 characters. I don't think this wiki should take it as a fact that the original 12 are our starter characters and everyone else is unlockable. --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] ([[User talk:Darthrai|talk]]) 21:13, 14 June 2018 (EDT)
:Agreed, since at a bare minimum Sakurai's phrasing could be interpreted as the original 8 being the starters or the original 12. That enough is room for ambiguity.

:: Or even emphasis on the word ''could''. Absolutely nothing is confirmed at this point, and Sakurai teases his fans a lot. I think we should wait until official confirmation or release to state which characters are starters/unlockables (as an aside, if most of the roster is unlockable as this wiki believed then we're very likely to get an overhauled unlock system). --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] ([[User talk:Darthrai|talk]]) 21:25, 14 June 2018 (EDT)

There should be something in the Trivia section that reads "Super Smash Bros. 64 is the only Smash Bros game that does not involve unlocking characters through vs matches."
