I found Brawl's unlocks to be uninspired compared to the original's and Melee's (where only Mewtwo was properly annoying)

Hopefully For takes more notes from Melee in regards to unlocks.

I just hope nobody's unlock condition reads "reach a Global Smash Power of [X]"

That would be a ridiculous unlock condition because it relies on other people.

Anything which relies on other people and can't be cheesed?

Is an abomination as far as achievements and unlocks go.

@Ogodei: What was wrong with Brawl's unlock methods? Also, in Melee, I remember Ganondorf and Pichu being really hard to unlock. Pichu meant either beating a near-impossible Event match (so, about as difficult as half of those) or fighting 200 matches (I went with the latter). Ganondorf was just really hard to beat. That's why I loved that the Subspace Emissary made it easy to unlock characters.

EDIT: Team Fortress 2 has a few achievements that require you to post a video on You Tube and have enough people see it. They are among the most hated achievements in the game.

IIRC Melee and Brawl had some unlocks that could be achieved through different ways (certain number of matches played, doing something in Adventure Mode, etc)

The only particular annoyances I remember was a friend asking me to play co-op with him in Subspace Emissary, where you had to KO Meta Ridley a certain way in order to get his trophy. That was a pain in the ass. But then, that wasn't to unlock a character either.

Thinking about it now, I really hope the Trophy Minigame replaces capturing enemies with Trophy Stands.

o_o

How would that achievement even work? Sure, it's a PC game, but does Steam track the number of hits you receive?

We haven't seen Trophy Stands in Smash Run, so I'm guessing enemy trophies will be unlocked by other means. Perhaps just randomly.

So, I wonder what Ice Climbers will do for a stage. There's only so many stages you can make using the icy mountain, and we have had both the climb and the peak so far.

[up]You submit your replay to Youtube via Steam and it sorta links your Youtube and Steam accounts, at least enough to track views. The last one requires 100,000 views, so yeah...

I doubt Sakurai will go THAT far, though I do anticipate the return of Sakurai's favorite checklist-arrangement of achievement-like goals.

I'd like to see a mix of the two: Brawl's board system, but with Melee's alternate methods for big ones (like Characters) to make things unique. Have like three alternate ways to unlock characters and two for stages- also have them cover all of the available modes in the game.

There has to be some Continuity Nod too. Though, I don't know series' like Fire Emblem or Kirby very well, so I can't think of that many.

Like how in order to unlock Luigi, you had to beat Adventure Mode Stage 1 with a certain time (2:00 IIRC, representing how Luigi is "Player Two")

Say to unlock Snake, you have to use a certain number of weapons, or maybe use a Metal Box at least once or something. Or to unlock Yoshi, you'd have to compete in a number of matches equivalent to some number pattern in one of Yoshi's recent titles. Not the best, but you get what I'm saying.

Should unlockable characters be listed in the Challenges wall so that you have an idea of how to unlock them?

Only if the challenges tell you how to complete them from the start and it shows which few are character unlocks.

@FOFD: Harder than that. The seconds digit in the timer has to end in a two right when you finish stage one of Adventure Mode. If it weren't for strategy guides, it would have taken fans forever to find that out.

EDIT: I'd like it if, right when you unlock someone, you can view tips on how to use that character. Melee kinda had that, but only if you used that character to beat Adventure or All-Stars. Or, after you proved you don't need it.

I don't really mind how the characters were unlocked in Melee or Brawl. Getting them all was already exciting enough for me.

Probably the most fun to unlock is Luigi because of the motifs (score a 2 in the completion timer in Melee, play 22 matches in Brawl). I hope For keeps the trend.

135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311

I'm not seeing why they wouldn't...its probably a mandatory thing to have Luigi with a number 2.

To unlock ROB, beat the entirety of the Story Mode Adventure Mode on Extreme difficulty using the Wiimote.

Some players would be like "Pshhh...".

Players like me would sell our copies in defeat.
