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. 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?--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 ._. D.Sneasel (talk) 00:01, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

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. The Dark Muse (talk) 22:27, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

It's actually 20 min. Friedbeef1Screech 00:20, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

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? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.190.123.204 (talk • contribs)

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.

edit conflict

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. For example, in Super Smash Bros., if you complete the 1P Game in less than 20 minutes, you are challenged by Captain Falcon, whether or not you've already unlocked Jigglypuff, and I'm fairly certain that if you complete the 1P Game on Normal difficulty, with three stock and without continuing in under 20 minutes, you are challenged by Ness, whether or not you've already unlocked Captain Falcon and/or Jigglypuff.

Requirements for unlocking Young Link

I recently borrowed Melee and i first thought of doing Classic mode with everyone, i decided to do it in order starting from Mario and ending with Link, i unlocked Young Link after completing Classic mode with the Ice Climbers so i never reached Link when Young Link was unlocked. Is the article wrong or is it a PAL difference?--Shaun's Wiji Dodo talk 08:02, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

This is late, but this happened to me too. I'm think you just have to beat Classic Mode with 10 different characters, but I'm not certain. Takava (talk) 22:22, 19 February 2012 (EST)

DOJO!! picture

Is this useful in any way? RoyboyX Talk 11:17, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

Didn't the DOJO!! use this to mark newcomers, not unlockables? Toomai Glittershine The Frivolous 11:20, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

They put this up when Olimar was revealed to be returning. Maybe we can use this as an example of the other use for "Challenger Approaching"? RoyboyX Talk 11:31, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

Wait you mean the SSB4 site. (Which is never called "dojo" anywhere, hence the confusion.) That's new, I never saw it and can't find it. Toomai Glittershine El Pollo 12:09, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

It's on the main page, under Olimar's picture. DoctorPain99 13:45, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

Okay I looked at the page source and saw the image code, which was clearly not visible on the actual page. I had to do a hard refresh before it became visible.

That's still besides my main point though, which is that the image isn't being used to denote unlockable characters (unless Olimar changes to unlockable, but that's heavily unlikely), and so doesn't really belong on this page. Toomai Glittershine The Breegull 13:53, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

Oh, I'm not disagreeing with that point; I just wanted to show you where the image was. :P Yeah, I think it's just being used to denote character reveals. DoctorPain99 14:38, 13 July 2013 (EDT)

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).)

67.248.159.85 17:18, 14 September 2014 (EDT)

From what I know, these are just based on what the streamers did to get the characters, but we don't know if these are the exact methods for sure. Tepig (talk) 17:48, 14 September 2014 (EDT)

I think you unlock Duck Hunt by clearing classic 8 times, all streams I watched unlock Duck Hunt after classic with 8 characters and the Gema one says clear classic with 8 characters after he unlocked Duck Hunt. Rosapuff (talk) 12:58, 21 September 2014 (EDT)

Use Mii Fighter to unlock Duck Hunt Dog in classic mode

  Use Duck Hunt Dog to unlock Mr.Game&Watch in classic mode —Preceding unsigned comment added by Enigmatrick (talk • contribs) 8:36, 21 September 2014 (EDT)

Source? We need to see a valid source, preferably a video, in order to add it to the article. Rtzxy Smashing! 20:40, 24 September 2014 (EDT)

If you watched Abdullahsmash026's classic series, he unlock Duck Hunt at part 7, which happens after the events of part 8, so he unlocked Duck Hunt after his 8th classic, same thing with the Gema's live stream slightly before the game came out in Japan, and according to another video,(I forgot which) Bowser Jr. was unlocked with Bowser at intensity of 6.0. Rosapuff (talk) 14:32, 25 September 2014 (EDT)

This seems to be what their unlockable status is... http://www.ign.com/wikis/super-smash-bros-wii-u-3ds/Unlockables Michaelmarill (talk) 16:59, 25 September 2014 (EDT)

A lot of those are incorrect, as day one streamers used different methods to unlock them; for example, Classic was cleared with Marth on one, but Lucina was not encountered. --Skittles (talk)

I'm playing the game, and I can ensure you that I unlocked some characters in this way:

• Dr. Mario clearing Classic with Mario
• Ganondorf clearing Classic with Link
• Lucina clearing Classic with Marth
• Ness clearing Classic after Falco was unlocked
• Dark Pit clearing Classic after both Falco and Ness were unlocked

Phantom Dusclops'92 (talk) 17:49, 1 October 2014 (EDT)

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. --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.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 12:59, 3 October 2014 (EDT)

Well I unlocked Falco after one Classic and then Ness after one Smash Run, so something might not be right with either of those. Toomai Glittershine The Wacko 14:26, 3 October 2014 (EDT)

Yeah, these are still a work in progress. For example, most people continue to assume that Mario is how you get Dr. Mario, but I had unlocked a different character with Mario, then got Dr. Mario with Game&Watch.Jarie Suicune (talk) 19:20, 6 October 2014 (EDT)

I played 100-Man Smash with the intention of unlocking Wario. To my surprise, I got Lucina instead. (The second time around, I did get Wario as intended.) PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 17:23, 9 October 2014 (EDT)

Did you already battle and fail on Lucina though? That's kinda the prime question here. Also, who did you do the mode with? Laikue (talk|contribs) 18:04, 9 October 2014 (EDT)

I played using Little Mac. No, that was the first time I encountered Lucina. PokemonMasterJamal3 (talk) 19:25, 9 October 2014 (EDT)

Maybe your intended first battle with Lucina was also pre-empted by someone else; it seems that characters with higher vs-mode requirements butt in if there's a tie (hence all the initial Falco/Ness confusion). Toomai Glittershine The Metroid 22:27, 9 October 2014 (EDT)

Falco

Falco is actually unlocked by 10 matches. I've just unlocked him after 10 battles and I don't have Ness yet.

--Superfiremario (talk) 19:34, 3 October 2014 (EDT)

Wait, sorry. I got him by clearing classic mode. I just had to beat Lucina first.

SSB3DS Challenger Approaching

My friend, who got the game yesterday, is trying to get a good picture of Jigglypuff challenging the player for me. Unfortunately this will be a picture taken with his phone of his 3DS (which usually has okay quality, but could still be better). So if anyone has a better source, go ahead and add it- but I'll be uploading that one shortly. Hopefully. ...a new Nuttais approaching... 13:54, 4 October 2014 (EDT)

Getting in-battle snapshots is easy, just pause and save, then get the photo off your SD card (viewable in 3DS Camera as well) If you want non-battle screenshots, just wait until the 10th, when the New 3DS comes out, with which you can upload to the Miiverse game scenes like in other games.Jarie Suicune (talk) 19:22, 6 October 2014 (EDT)

WIll more characters be unlocked from the start in WiiU version

From what I understand, more characters will be unlocked from the start in the WiiU version. Is that correct? Do we know which characters will be starters in the WiiU version yet? Gpev96 (SHAZAM!) (talk) 11:09, 31 October 2014 (EDT)
