Characters

Every character in Super Smash Bros. has two ways that they can unlocked. The first method is by playing a set amount of Smash matches. The second method is by completing a unique requirement for each character.

If you unlock a character, but fail to beat them in the one-on-one Smash, do not worry. You do not need to complete the unlock requirement again, simply play any game and you will fight them again afterwards.
