Smash 4 Character Unlock Thread

[Jahnathan]

Pretty self explanatory, if anyone knows how to or has theories on how to unlock some of the secret characters that have been confirmed so far, please share it here. So far it seems like characters are unlocked by just beating classic mode over and over again with different characters on high difficulties, specific details are hard to acquire because of the tiny amount of people playing that game at the moment so I apologize for this just being pure speculation.

So far the characters that have been confirmed as secrets are:

Spoiler

1. Falco: Beat classic mode on a difficulty of 3.0 or higher.
2. Ness: Beat classic mode twice?
3. Dark Pit: Beat classic mode 3x.
4. Duck Hunt Dog: Beat classic mode 8 times?
5. Mr. Game and Watch: Beat Classic with a certain number of characters/play time?
6. Ganondorf: Beat classic mode with Link?
7. Lucina: Beat classic with Marth/all Fire Emblem characters?
8. Doctor Mario: Beat classic mode with a certain number of characters?
9. Wario: Play a certain number of matches?
10. Jiggs: ???
11. Bowser Jr.: Beat Classic mode with Bowser on 6.0/7.0 and up?
12. R.O.B: Complete 70 VS matches?

Characters that do not individually unlock anything from classic mode:

Spoiler

1. Samus
2. Robin (Reflet)
3. Ike
4. Greninja
5. Pac Man
6. Ness
7. Shulk
8. Samus
9. Pit
10. Palutena
11. Falco
12. Captain Falcon
13. Rosalina and Luma
14. Kirby
15. Charizard

There are 2 streams still going on right now so if more info is revealed i'll post it here. (http://multitwitch.tv/yushako/gema_yue)

Duck Hunt Dog's unlock method seems to be beating classic with Mii Fighters, and G&W's seems to be beating classic with DHD.

I'm pretty sure that isn't the case for Duck Hunt, one of the other streamers beat classic mode with another character and still got the fight.

Actually my bad, it might be that if you lose a fight with a secret and then play classic mode again, you'll be able to fight them again.

 

[GamerGuy09]

You should put the characters that they beaten classic mode with and gotten no one.

People are re-fighting through Versus mode, so I would assume you can re-fight through Classic mode too

Iirc from the stream then Lucina is beat classic with Marth.

Gema beat classic with Marth and didn't unlock Lucina.

 

[Da Man]

Gema beat classic with Marth and didn't unlock Lucina.

Did Gema get a game over one point? that may be why.

 

[Luigi#1]

Told ya'll Luigi would be a starter.
Nice list, nice idea.

 

[Jahnathan]

I think that might be the case, but another theory is that you have to beat classic with every Fire Emblem character to unlock her.

DHD looks like it's beating classic with a number of characters, probably 10, seeing as how that was an unlock requirement for a character in Melee (young link). It's definitely not beating Classic as Mii's as I first thought, since gema got to fighting DHD for the first time as Charizard

She says it's beating classic 8 times. It's possible she miscounted, but let's go with that for now.

 

[Quote420]

G&W is not beating it with DHD, seems like winning with 10? characters. Either that, or play time

Bowser Jr. is unlocked by beating Classic with Bowser on Hard mode.

 

[Jahnathan]

Bowser Jr. is unlocked by beating Classic with Bowser on Hard mode.

Are you sure? Has this been confirmed somewhere?

 

[HeavyLobster]

I've seen him get unlocked on stream by beating Classic w/Bowser. People have been saying that it needs to be 7+ difficulty, but I can't confirm that for sure.

HOLY **** ONE OF THE LEAKERS IS A GIRL?!?!

I'm not trying to be funny, that was my genuine reaction reading that. Also Bowser Jr may be tricky to unlock.

Yep. She's actually not bad, but that's not stopping Twitch chat from being predictably misogynist whenever she does mess up.

 

[VictoryIsMudkipz]

Gema-Yue just unlocked Bowser Jr., so there's 5 possible slots left,
(R.O.B, Ice Climbers, Mewtwo?, Ridley, Wolf, Lucas, that leaves two spots.. and who else?
edit: chorus kids/Karate Joe/RHF Rep?
double edit: Rose Gold Fire Baby Cat Peach?

 

[Quote420]

R.O.B. appears to be completing 70 VS. matches to unlock.

R.O.B. was the final unlock, RIP in pizzas everyone not in

 

[dezeray112]

Its a bit strange seeing that Wario who is a playable starter character in Brawl is now an unlockable character in Smash Wii U/3DS.

 

[Themandme]

So you can't unlock people by just doing matches any more. So this is gonna be harder...
