[[File:Challenger's_Approach_icon.png|270px|thumb|The Challenger's Approach icon.]]
'''Challenger's Approach''' is a mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' where the player can rematch an [[unlockable character]] they previously failed to unlock. This mode is available in the [[Games & More]] menu after a rematch becomes available.


==Overview==
'''Challenger's Approach''' is a mode in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' where the player can attempt to fight again against an [[unlockable character]]. This mode is available in the Games & More menu and after a few minutes of failing a Challenger Approaching fight. When selected, the Challenger Approaching screen will appear for the unlockable fighter that has been lost to, then the player is able to choose any character they have unlocked to rematch the unlockable fighter.  
Upon a fresh save file and with no {{SSBU|downloadable content}} purchased, the player only has access to eight playable characters: {{SSBU|Mario}}, {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}, {{SSBU|Link}}, {{SSBU|Samus}}, {{SSBU|Yoshi}}, {{SSBU|Kirby}}, {{SSBU|Fox}}, and {{SSBU|Pikachu}}. As time passes and certain prerequisites are met, characters appear that the player can challenge. If the battle is won, that character is added to the roster as playable. If the battle is lost, the challenger disappears. However, after a while, a gate icon will appear in the bottom-right corner of the Games & More section. Upon selecting this icon, the challenger can be rematched, with the same stage, music, and CPU level.
==Unlock Order==
====Timed encounters====
When the player finishes a VS. match, a [[Mob Smash]], a [[Spirit Board]] fight or exits the World of Light, a new character can challenge the player to a Challenger Approaching duel. However, the player must then wait 10 minutes before a new Challenger Approaching challenge will be issued. This 10 minute cooldown can be bypassed by closing the game and reopening it. <!--Do not add changing language settings here as another method, this only works because changing the language reboots the game.-->


Originally, if the player lost an initial challenger fight, that challenger would reappear under the Challenger's Approach mode after performing approximately 400 in-battle actions. This requirement was the same regardless of who the challenger was, how many other characters were unlocked or challenged, or which method was originally used to issue the Challenger Approaching fight. There was no wait time requirement. Challenger's Approach could appear after doing anything that would cause a Challenger Approaching fight to appear, such as exiting World of Light. If the conditions for both were met at the same time, a Challenger Approaching fight would take priority over the Challenger's Approach notification.
Time-based Challenger Approaching challenges are issued in a specific order, skipping any characters unlocked in the World of Light or whose Challenger Approaching fight has already been triggered due to Classic Mode.


Starting in [[update]] version 4.0.0,<ref>https://www.speedrun.com/ssbu/run/yoj32o1m</ref><ref>https://www.speedrun.com/ssbu/run/y81evnnz</ref> Challenger's Approach now appears immediately after losing to a challenger. As a result, the tutorial page stating that rematches will appear "after a while" no longer appears normally, and can only be seen by manually pressing [[Y]] on the Challenger's Approach mode or from the {{b|How to Play|SSBU menu}} menu.
Below is a table listing the order characters unlocked, the amount of time needed to unlock them, and the stage and music accompanying their unlock battle. The values listed under "Cumulative Wait Time" are idealized values that assume that no characters are unlocked in the World of Light or have their Challenger Approaching fights triggered by Classic Mode, that the player never closes the game after first opening it until they trigger Palutena's Challenger Approaching fight, and the player never spends longer than the minimum amount of time (10 minutes) between triggering Challenger Approaching fights.


When the Challenger's Approach mode appears, an in-game screen will notify the player. This screen will reappear each time the mode appears. The player may press Y on this screen to immediately go to the Challenger Approaching screen. If a Challenger's Approach rematch becomes available but the mode is already there (e.g. from an earlier challenger that the player hasn't accepted the rematch for yet), the challenger will silently queue up behind the existing challenger(s) and no in-game notification will appear.

Prior to the update, if multiple characters became eligible for a rematch at the same time, they would queue up approximately in order by [[fighter number]] (for example, {{SSBU|Dark Samus}} would appear first). However, for unknown reasons, Richter appeared before Inkling and Simon appeared after King K. Rool. After the update, it is no longer possible for multiple characters to become rematch-eligible at once. In any version, if multiple characters queue up (become silently eligible for rematches) one at a time instead of all at once, they will just appear in the order they became eligible instead of by fighter number order.
====Classic Mode====
When the player completes Classic Mode, a new character will challenge the player to a Challenger Approaching duel. This character will be the next character in the table below who has not already been unlocked<!-- or issued a Challenger Approaching duel-->; for characters that appear in the table multiple times, only the first time counts for determining what group they belong to. After all of the characters in a column are unlocked, the unlock sequence loops around to {{SSBU|Mario}}'s column, then {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}}'s column, and so on.


Prior to the update, if the player lost a Challenger's Approach fight, the same mechanics would apply as losing any other Challenger Approaching fight: the character would become eligible for another rematch after 400 more in-battle actions. Regardless of if the player won or lost, if any other character(s) remained in the queue, the Challenger's Approach mode would still be available and the player could immediately rematch the next character in the queue. If no other characters remained in the queue, the Challenger's Approach mode would disappear. After the update, a new [[Continue]] menu with a rematch button appears immediately after losing a Challenger's Approach fight, alongside an option to change the player's character and a quit button. Similar to World of Light, this Continue menu also appears if the user tries to quit the match from the [[Pause]] menu. If the user chooses the quit button, the current challenger will move to the back of the queue.
The unlock sequence for [[Downloadable content (SSBU)|downloadable fighters]] begin at Mario's column.  


If a character in the Challenger's Approach queue is unlocked through the World of Light, that character will silently disappear from the queue and the remaining order will not change. If that was the last character in the queue, the Challenger's Approach mode will silently disappear.
The Challenger Approaching duels are the same as those issued on a timed basis, this is simply another way to trigger them.


==Update history==
Notably, all [[clone]]s, semi-clones, and pseudo-clones except for {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}, {{SSBU|Roy}}, and {{SSBU|Chrom}} are in the same column as the character they are based on.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This mode along with [[Sephiroth Challenge]] are the only modes in ''Ultimate'' that would no longer be available at some point. In this case, Challenger's Approach would no longer be available if the player has unlocked all unlockable characters in the game.
*This is only mode in ''Ultimate'' that can become permanently inaccessible, as unlocking all characters prevents it from being needed.
*When the Challenger Approaching screen appears after Classic Mode or a timed encounter, the screen stays up for a few seconds and then the game automatically proceeds to the fight. However, when the Challenger Approaching screen appears for a Challenger's Approach rematch, the player must press A to dismiss the screen and proceed to the character selection menu.
*DLC fighters are the only ones not included in the table, since they are automatically unlocked upon downloading them.
