[@crazynaut223]

There's still another condition I can think of and it's _beating_ every spirit. You can also obtain spirits by purchasing them or getting them randomly in solo modes, but if you look in the upper left corner of a spirit battle menu, the game actually specifically tracks which spirit _battles_ you've completed. I don't think there's any way to know which ones you have missing other than randomly encountering them on the spirit board (I'm not sure whether the spirit collection refights are the same thing) but that is still something to complete.

[@darc5925]

In spirit list if you hover to any fightable spirits and hit X, on the top left it will say complete if this spirit was fought before. They can also be rematched in the spirit list.

[@Chubby_Bub]

Yeah, you can check in the spirit menu but it's annoying because you have to check each one manually. For spirits alone, there's also getting them all to level 99, which is something recorded in the stats menu. This is just pedantry, but you could also could have each individual spirit in your inventory, since some disappear when upgrading or summoning. And then I even began to try to teach them every style, but that became boring after a while. (Who'd have thought?) And as far as conditions go, if he's getting all the medals in Elite Smash and Classic Mode, there's also all the Mob Smash variations, and I think 2P Classic Mode. I'd say at the very least completing the Century Smash as every character is a reasonable thing to consider for 100%, since it also shows a medal.

As someone who also beat Classic Mode 9.9 with every character, boy did I feel good hearing about what a nightmare some of these characters can be. I would like to also give a special shoutout to Byleth for me personally. The last 2 rounds are absolute hell to get through. The Corrins are blood and basically require cheese and the 3 house leaders can screw you over if you're not careful. Also Hero's specifically cause of that Charizard. If you are at like 50% or low mana, that giant Charizard basically has a free 2 shot for any mistakes you might make.

Yeah, I definitely don't count elite smash as a requirement. Give it another decade or so and online isn't even going to be an accessible part of the game anymore lol. I also don't think milestones are necessary either, they aren't achievements, they're just things to track how much you've played. I don't think anyone would argue you have to play 1,000,000 matches to 100% Melee, y'know?

[@GhabulousGhoti]

@@NintendoFan7141 So I'm actually planning to do the 1,000,000 matches thing in Melee at some point, since you can essentially cheese it in a few sittings with a turbo button controller.

The amount of classic you did in one try is genuinely INSANE. The amount of times I get hit like twice or one of them runs away and makes the fight go on too long and I end up getting a 0.7 on a crucial stage only to end up at 9.8 overall, nick popped tf off.

[@leopoldbullot8016]

In the spirit collection, you can refight spirit you already own. When you do so, you gain a score depending on the spirits you used. To have the highest score, you need to beat a spirit without any spirit equipped (and no skill tree either since you're not in WoL) . The game even track your combined score, at 35:17 you can see you have 7300 points. So yeah you still have that to do. And yes it's possible, my friend did it on his save, and I also did it on my save, but in co-op with my friend. Which is actually harder because every spirit gain hyper armor in co-op, making a lot of cheese strats useless.

I found a method on how to finish battles fast. First, go to custom smash (mega, flower, metal, curry, light, fast smash), then the rule set is stamina battle (1 stock, spirits on, cpu level 1, stage selection flat form only, items off, first to 5 wins.) It has to be a free for all every time and you always pick random. And for the spirits, you need Dan or flying man because they both let you take 30% damage, and it will kill you or your opponents in less than a second. Give it a try.
