I was reading this on GAF: "Beat 7.0 master core without continuing with Bowser." Apparently that unlocks Bowser Jr.

Does that mean I have to do that to unlock him, or will there be other ways? One thing I loved about Brawl was being able to unlock all the characters easily by playing the story on any difficulty.

I remember in Melee (forget about Brawl) that you could unlock characters by fighting a certain number of versus matches or playing for a certain amount of combined versus time as an alt way. Hopefully there's something similar here.

Good good, I really hope so. I suck at Smash Bros, I can't even beat CPU on level 7 normally, so yeah...

Azuardo 11.09.2014#4

Yeah, looks like you can unlock characters by playing VS mode.

So that's now a total of 51 characters counting all the miis? That's pretty damn good considering, although the only thing that really bugs me about this are the cuts (especially ice climbers) and the fact that both ganondorf and toon link are barely changed. Despite that though I'm looking really forward to trying these new characters.

neat but alittle messy if you ask me, how some of the same characters (mario/dr mario) get two slots but different characters (Olimar/alph) get put in the same slot as an alternative costume, even though they play differently. I'd just like more consistency, im fine with counting clone characters as an alternative outfit.

Wow this game is going to be amazing . I bet that stage is conformation there an f zero game coming. in my opinion it is.

Jigglypuff isn't on the character select screen. WTF?

Faust_D 12.09.2014#10

Not bad. Plus there's room for DLC. They'll defo be adding to it later.

Plus, I think Dr. Mario is a different character because he's from an entirely different series maybe? Because Alph and Olimar are from the exact same series but different installments.

Edit: Jigglypuff is located right below Kirby.

It works like this:

If a clone has the exact same hitboxes, hurtboxes, and moves as a character, they get put in as an alternate costume (examples include Olimar/Alph and the male/female Wii Fit Trainers, Villagers, and Robins).

If any of that is even slightly different, they get their own slot. Dr. Mario has several different attacks from regular Mario, Lucina's sword does an even amount of damage while Marth's sword does more damage at the tip (I've also heard Lucina is slightly faster but I haven't confirmed this), and Dark Pit plays more like Pit from Brawl while Pit in Sm4sh has a different moveset.

Yes but with cusomisable attacks now, DR mario could be deconstructed and have his "unique" attacks just be alternative attacks for regular mario.
