Fastest Way To Unlock All Characters: SSBB
We've had a Japanese copy of the new Smash Bros. Brawl game for less than 24 hours, but we've already unlocked all the hidden characters. Toon Link, Snake, Sonic and R.O.B. are now our marionettes fighting at our fancy.
So how did we do it? It didn't involve the Subspace Emissary or any of the Challenges. And we certainly did not unlock Snake by playing on Shadow Moses Island ten times, like some gaming sites are reporting.
Continue reading to find out how to unlock all the hidden characters.
The following method might not be the most glamorous...okay, it's down right boring...but it works. And with just a couple hours of dedication and patience, you'll be playing with Star Wolf (the final unlockable character) in no time.
1. Start by changing to Stage Select rule. You'll want the fourth option, "Junguri."
2. Now return to the Brawl menu and select Special Brawl. It's the one that shows an image of a Mario hat with bunny ears.
3. Next change the first category (the one with the % symbol) to Tairyokusei and and the third category (the one showing the bunny ears) to Hana (it's the first option). Hit "okay" at the bottom of the screen. The game should take you immediately to the character select screen.
4. Now select your character and a character for the computer. When you select the computer's character, you'll notice the number 150 appear next to the image at the bottom. Move the pointer over the 150 and hit "A." Now push up on the control stick to reduce the computer's HP to just 1.
5. Start the match. The battle should last all of one second.
6. Repeat step 5 until a new challenger appears. Defeat the new challenger (Luigi, Sonic, etc.) to unlock him. After about two or three hours of this, you'll have all the characters unlocked including the final hidden character Star Wolf and his obscure sidekick Star Bear.
Granted, watching paint dry is more exciting but this method is a hell of a lot faster than playing through Subspace Emissary.
Bonus Material:
What?!?!?! You call yourself a Nintendo fanboy, but you've never heard of Star Bear. Be sure to check out the upcoming Pink Godzilla podcast in which we cover all things Star Bear! Prepare to be enlightened.

The flower on the head takes the one point of damage away within a second of the match starting.
It is the fastest way.

im shure star bear is not a playable character as i have seen the all characters unlocked message & wolf was the last one. After 450 vs, battles, all characters will be unlocked

Umm...I have the English version, so what are the options that I have to put?

Im pretty sure star bear isnt playable, the game proves it by itself. And im not willing to do that thing even more just to find out star bear isnt playable, you might prove it to me by telling how many matches it takes to get him, but otherwise, i dont belive you.
