unlockable characters

Earned playable fighters

Unlockable characters are playable figures in video games that aren't available from the start but become accessible after meeting certain conditions—completing levels, accumulating points, discovering secrets, or purchasing downloadable content.

The term sometimes causes confusion because "unlockable" can theoretically mean either "able to be unlocked" or "unable to be locked," though in gaming contexts it virtually always means the former.

I spent weeks grinding to get all the unlockable characters.
