Locked Wrote:Character Unlock Guide
Note: This has only been verified in the Japanese version of the game. Overseas versions are expected to follow it though. There are some rumours and those are noted through the notes.
[table="head;autonum=1;autonumtitle="Order"]Criteria|Unlocked Character|Notes
Play Classic Mode with Ike|Falco|
Play Classic Mode with Robin|Ness|
Play Classic Mode with Marth|Lucina|
Play Classic Mode with Greninja|Dark Pit|
Play Classic Mode with Mario|Dr. Mario|7.0 intensity required
Play Classic Mode with Link|Ganondorf|7.0 intensity required
Play Classic Mode with Bowser|Bowser Jr.|7.0 intensity required
Play Classic Mode with Pikachu|Duck Hunt Dog|
Play Classic Mode with Charizard|Jigglypuff|Unconfirmed. It should be beating classic mode with 2 or 3 unique Pokemon, but who knows.
Play Classic Mode with Pac-Man|Game & Watch|Unconfirmed. Rumours say Pac-Man unlocks G&W, other say 10 Classic Mode matches do. This meets both, so who knows.
[/table]
This leaves two characters, Wario and R.O.B.. Those are just 30 and 70 VS matches respectively. Should be easy to do by just playing the game.
R.O.B. has a rumour of being unlocked by playing with 6 different unlocked characters in Classic Mode. Wario has no such thing, its alternative lock method is through 100 Man Brawl.
My Confirmations
Dr.Mario does not require any intensity. I was doing all my Classic Mode runs at 4.5 for a long time, and the only three characters I did not unlock without increasing it are Ganondorf, Bowser Jr., and ROB.
Ganondorf and Bowser Jr. require 6.0 or higher intensity. It's the intensity that allows Master Core to appear if you choose to fight both hands at once instead of just Master Hand, however both hands are not required to unlock any character.
I'm not so sure about either of those Jigglypuff requirements. I don't remember what exactly unlocked her for me, but I never used Charizard in Classic Mode. In fact, the only Pokemon I did use was Greninja and I unlocked her after. It may just be a usage requirement, and not Classic Mode. I honestly don't remember.
ROB requires Game and Watch on 6.0 or higher.
