    How To Unlock All Characters In SSBU

    The Nintendo Switch Super Smash Bros Ultimate Unlockable Characters will require players to complete certain challenges and other requirements before a character will become playable. These can be in the form of playing a specific amount of matches, simply completing classic mode and even playing through the World of Light Game Mode.

    Playing the following game modes will Unlock Characters is Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

    • Classic Mode
    • World of Light
    • VS. Matches

    The Fastest Method for unlocking all the characters in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. You will be playing VS. Game Mode Matches with 1 stock and resetting your game to avoid the 10 min Character Unlock Cooldown Timer.

    METHOD 1

    1. Set VS. Mode Matches to have only 1 Stock (Life).
    2. Play 1 VS. Match Win or Lose (You can quickly suicide and lose the match).
    3. After that, you will battle and Unlock a Character.
    4. Reset your Super Smash Bros Ultimate Game (This means restart you App/Game) and repeat step 1, 2, 3.

    (Restarting your Game will reset the Character Unlock Cooldown that only allows you to unlock a character every 10 mins in VS Mode. You can quickly reset your game by going to Settings and changing the Language of the game.)

    This is an even faster character unlock method in which it uses the World of Light Game Mode.

    METHOD 2

    1. Start the game and enter World of Light from the main menu, Load up your Save Game.
    2. After you have loaded it up, hold the B Button and back out fully.
    3. You will be challenged by a fighter, beat that fighter to unlock.
    4. Reset your Super Smash Bros Ultimate Game (This means restart you App/Game) and repeat step 1, 2, 3.

    How To Rechallenge Fighters if I Lose the First Fight.

    1. Select “Game & More” from the main menu.
    2. The bottom right of the screen will be an icon that allows you to Rechallenge any fighter you lost to previously.

    If we come across a faster way to unlock fighters we will update this page with it. So far this appears the fastest at around 1-2 hours and you can have all the characters unlocked in SSBU.
