How do you unlock special characters in Soul Calibur 5?

Question

Besides the unlockable DLC character Dampierre, there are quite a few "?" selections in the character menu left for additional characters.

Who are these characters and how do you unlock them? (Most likely spoilers in the answer, I know)

Answer

I found a list of the characters and the unlock conditions: HERE

Notice some have multiple unlock methods, some of which are easier than others.

Also here is a list of them all for quick reference:

  • Special Character 1

    • Algol
    Method 1: After completing Story Mode, the Legendary Souls Mode will be unlocked. Defeat him in Legendary Souls Mode and then successfully complete the mode to unlock Algol.
    Method 2: Defeat him in Quick Battle as the opponents Teramos (C2-C4 Rank) or Minami Naikos (A2 Rank) to unlock Algol.
    Method 3: Defeat him in Arcade Mode with any character.
    Method 4: You can also reach Player Level 31 to unlock Algol.

  • Special Character 2

    • Alpha Patroklos
    Successfully complete Story Mode with any character.

  • Special Character 3

    • Dampierre
    Method 1: Purchase him before release as a Best Buy pre-order in America.
    Method 2: Buy him during launch as part of the Collector's Edition in Europe.
    Method 3: Other than that you'll have to wait to get Lord Geo Dampierre as future character DLC.

  • Special Character 4

    • Edge Master
    Successfully complete Story Mode with any character.

  • Special Character 5

    • Elysium
    Successfully complete Story Mode with any character.

  • Special Character 6

    • Kilik
    Method 1: Defeat him in Legendary Souls Mode and then successfully complete the mode.
    Method 2: Defeat him in Arcade Mode with any character, but make sure to choose the Asia route.
    Method 3: You can also reach Player Level 11 to unlock Kilik.

  • Special Character 7

    • Pyrrha Omega
    Successfully complete Story Mode with any character.

There is also several unlockables for Character Creation and Stages which can be unlocked in Story Mode and Quick Match.
