Unlocking the characters can be ridiculously easy by just setting a 1v1 smash match with 1 stock and then falling off the edge. All of the characters can be unlocked depending on how many matches you've done. I believe Duck Hunt is the final one with having played 120 matches or something like that.

Can we just take out Doctor Mario and Dark Pit and then put Lucas and Wolf back in?

I mean if we're going to have clones then let's at least try to go for the ones that are somewhat unique.

@Paleo_Orca

While I prefer to just unlock the characters by playing the game naturally, I think you're right in who's last to unlock; at least, they were for me.

@pokepal148

Yeah, I think pretty much everyone would've preferred that. Not really sure why they didn't go that route.

@pokepal148

Wolf's moveset, of which a few moves are the only unique things about him, could easily be done with extra moves for Fox. I totally missed Dr. Mario though I can see how he really should just be a costume clone type character also changing moves slightly. I'd rather see all new characters/franchises than any of those you mentioned.

@DrFinkelstein
Are you kidding me? Wolf looked sort of like Fox and had a similar-ish down special. That's where the similarities end.
GRUMBLE GRUMBLE.

Wolf and Lucas were two of my mains. Ploot is sad.

Just had my butt handed to me by Mikey, Abdooooo and Kenny. But it was a blast.

@kriswright

Please! You had me flying all around with Palutena on the DK level. I ended up taking a swim in that super strong current. Why would Donkey Kong willingly build his home there?!?

Wolf was the best character in Brawl, IMO. I miss him so.

So who was I dukin' it out with tonight? I was Bun, and there was Brandon, Pauloot, and Lewis as well. The matches were all pretty close and tight.

I'm Lewis. Who is Brandon?

Bun, you and I had a few fun and relatively lag-free 1-on-1 bouts... You're ridiculous with Ness or else I'm terrible with Zero Suit Samus (or some combination of the two).

@TriforceBun
I was there. They were really fun matches!
There was a bit of lag later on, so I bailed. I hope it wasn't me!

The only reason I'm willing to give Lucina a pass is because Marth has his stupid sword tip thing that greatly effects how he plays.

@DrFinkelstein is there even a difference between Mario and Dr. Mario besides the fact that dr mario has a decent down special because apparently they still thought giving Mario Fludd was a good idea and Lighting instead of fire

And Pit and Dark Pit are even worse.

@pokepal148
The cool thing about FLUDD is that it doesn't reset a character's moves like a normal attack. I've actually gotten a few kills using FLUDD against somebody who would otherwise be able to make it to the ledge.

The problem with FLUDD in Brawl was it stuck around on Mario's back the whole match once it was used. It was distracting.

Dr. Mario's cape doesn't help save him horizontally. I'm not 100% sure of the other differences though.

Just had some great games with Cryojin.
Our last game dropped us though, and I SWEAR Pac-Man was going to get his vengeance! Booooooooooooooooo.

Cryojin gives me hope for Shulk. He plays him well!

Dammit. Lost connection!

It's my modem. Was acting up earlier. Thought it was behaving.... ah well.

Those were some great matches Ploot! I'm sorely missing Wolf, but think Shulk might fill that void. I gotta be faster in utilizing his Arts though.

@Cryojin
We have to do that again sometime.

Played a few games with Sormon but sadly the lag stopped us from playing for long.

I hope they will provide an update for the controls. The rubber part of my circle pad disintegrated, so it's hard to keep a grip on it to control characters. I'd much rather use the directional pad to move for this game, but I have no option. Poop.

@TheOldManFromZelda

There will be an update to the controls....when you buy a NEW 3DS, coming in 2015!

I think my favorite character is now...Lucina. I'm pretty decent with her, at least against level 8 computers.

Just unlocked ROB, which I'm pumped that they're back. I'm not sure who's left, but it looks like I have two slots open...

EDIT: Just unlocked the last two characters, so now I have them all (per the game). Now on to the third panel of challenges (although I have a few on the second panel I haven't completed yet).

Are there missions in this game? I have yet to find any...I enjoyed those in Brawl.
