Got all the characters unlocked last night. Ended up doing the 120 battle method. Everything counts, so I just did 1-on-1 battles against the CPU at the lowest difficulty level. When you get a new character, you have to fight him/her first at a normal level, and I had to do a few of these battles 2-3 times depending on who I was using. For whatever reason the CPU Ganondorf beat the shit out of me, easily, for several matches straight, then suddenly went down with ease.
I found that the best characters to use for this were Palutena and once he was unlocked, Wario. It really didn't take very long using this method.
I like Duck Hunt a whole bunch. Really fun character to zone people with. I just wish he had the NES 8-bit laugh sound effect. They gave him a Muttley-like snicker instead.
There's still enough space on the character select screen. DLC has got to be coming. And I still have one stage left to unlock...Mr. Game And Watch's level. It didn't unlock based on battles or character usage. Read that challenges need to be cleared instead.
Next up I guess I need to start playing the modes that net you rewards and get alternate character moves unlocked.
I wonder if bork ripped his circle pad pro off yet like the rest of Japan.
I don't get why
this would be the game to do that out of all the 3DS titles. Let me guess...Kotaku clickbait article?
