Tips

  • If you fail to beat a character on Classic Mode, you can just rematch them in a 1 vs. 1 battle. You don’t need to go through the entire mode again just to re-battle them. 

  • You don’t need to win the VS/Smash Mode matches in order for them to count. You just need to complete them, meaning, don’t quit in the middle of a match!

  • When playing Classic Mode on certain intensity levels, remember that if you lose and retry, it will automatically lower your level by .5. This can cause you to lose the right level for the unlock.

  • Remember that for Classic Mode, you can customize your characters so that they matching your personal fighting style. Just go to the character select screen and click the wrench to set your own equipment and moves.
