It was a little difficult at times for me but nothing took more than a couple of retries. Some of them actually handed the match to me like Captain Falcon who turned round and leapt to his doom right at the start or K.Rool who got take out by a Klaptrap within a few seconds.
That said, I don't think unlocking characters was a good idea, I think fighting games should present the full roster up front. There is more than enough to unlock in terms of spirits, music, items, challenges etc that it would still offer plenty for solo play and when the real meat of the game rests in multiplayer it is just frustrating that almost every fighter needs to be unlocked. I'm now really enjoying the game but it was a frustrating grind for my first day of playing just so I could start to enjoy the game.
