How To Unlock Characters In Smash Ultimate Fast

So, you're staring at that tantalizing grid of fighters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and half of them are just...question marks? Don't worry, we've all been there. It's like showing up to a party and realizing half the guests are fashionably late (or, in this case, locked in a digital dungeon).

The One-Match Marathon

Forget what you think you know about "strategy." We're going for speed, not glory. The fastest way to trigger a new challenger is to play one quick match.

Choose Classic Mode or World of Light. Win or lose, it doesn't matter! After each match, the game gives you a cooldown. After a cooldown, you can do the next match to unlock.

The Restart Trick

Ready for some old-school gaming trickery? After your match, close the game entirely and restart it. It’s like hitting the reset button on life itself!

This little trick bypasses the cooldown timer. Now you can challenge the next fighter.

The Challenger's Approach

A challenger appears! Don't get cocky. These fights can be surprisingly tough, especially if you're rocking a character you're not familiar with.

Don’t worry if you lose. You'll get a rematch. You can find the rematch through the golden door in the Games & More menu.

The Mercy Rule (Sort Of)

Okay, so there's no *actual* mercy rule. However, you can make things easier on yourself.

Try different characters. Some fighters are better suited to certain challengers. Experiment and see what works.

The Great Escape (And Repeat)

Remember that "close and restart" trick? That's your golden ticket. After defeating a challenger, the game saves your progress.

Now, you can do a quick match and close and restart again. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

The Joy of Unlocking

There's a certain satisfaction in watching those question marks turn into fully realized characters. Each new fighter adds a fresh layer of chaos and strategy to your Smash experience.

It's like collecting trading cards, only these cards can punch each other in the face.

Beyond the Grind

While speed is great, don't forget to enjoy the journey. Experiment with different characters, explore the World of Light, and challenge your friends.

The ultimate goal isn't just to unlock everyone, it's to have a blast doing it. So go forth, smash some buttons, and may the best fighter win!

Just remember, it is not the destination, but the friends we made along the way. Or something like that.
