My friends and I unlocked Sonic around 175 Brawl matches.

I don't know why or how, but it was sweet, especially since everyone said it took 300. I'm still confused why Sonic showed up when he did.

@BenKenobi88, That doesn't make any sense. There are 3 ways to unlock every character, and that ain't none of 'em for Sonic.

maybe they count the matches for each player ...say 2-3 friends times number of matches ?

no love for King Dee Dee Dee here besides me???

How are the heavy weight characters in this game (Donkey Kong, King Dedede, Gannondorf, Bowser)?.

That worked in Melee for playtime I remember...

If that's true for counting vs. matches, then you could get all 450 matches by plugging in 4 controllers, setting it on stamina flower mode, and doing 113 matches.  Holy cow.  I'm going to try this when I get my U.S. version.  I'm already so deep into my Japanese version that I'm scared of the switch, but I gotta be able to read my trophy collection.  I play that coin game FOR DAYS when I'm drunk and need a cool-down session after hours of intense online brawling.

 I was often a Captain Falcon man in Melee, but now I'm rocking Ganondorf all the time.  I pound open smash balls in no time flat.  Donkey Kong is kickass, as always, but I don't get his final smash.  I haven't given Dedede and Bowser their rounds yet.

all you guys are evil, crooning over a game that so many people still dont have. Shame on all of you!

I don't have it yet, played at a friends house.

Samus, Zero Suit Samus, and Diddy Kong just as i expected.

what i didn't expect was that i would like Pit too.
