Characters being unlocked via SSE and SSE story.

[Hero_Of_Time]

Ok, this is something I've been pondering for some time now. The characters that are unlocked via beating SSE..how would they be worked into the SSE plot? I know for the past two SSBs we had that separate fight with them and that (Warning! Challenger Approaching!) screen, but..something just tells me this time..that won't happen. At least not with SSE. SSE seems to big and important for that.

I'm thinking that the next one to be unlocked will be thrown into the story as a hostage. Kind of like Zelda and Peach in the opening Petey Piranha brawl, but this happens when squaring off against Ancient Minister (Yeah, I'm believing you fight him). He'll show you the character and say something along the lines "This person will pay for your mistakes. You broke the rules and someone has to pay!".

Then the fight begins and you must win (duh?). Win and the character is freed and says they'll join your platoon if you can beat them and thus, you fight them. Win and they are added to your roster.

Very possible..

I guess so.  Besides adding 3rd parties Sakurai's keeping the smash bros traditions.

I think you will still have to play and beat the character.  Maybe you go near them in SSE, see a cool cutscene, then fight them because of misunderstandings.

How aout this for unlocking Ray 01...

You find a bunch of robot parts along the way of your journey, and as you progress, you keep finding the parts. Once all parts are complete, Ray 01 will assemble himself. But he sees you as hostile at first, and you must fight him.

If you beat him, he joins your party ;)

That'd be quite fun actually. lol.

Or...

Hidden Characters are worked in to the seperate characters plots since the characters dont all have the same storyline.
Like for Fire Emblem, when you play Ike in SSE somewhere along the story you will meet a hidden character who will have the same story as Ike had etc.
