The story mode lacks a lot of "story", it's pretty much one stage after another. It's fun, though it lacks long form levels or various little baddies from across the Nintendoverse. Brawl is still undisputed ruler of story telling in this series it seems.
I did manage to unlock every last character a few days ago. That's fine, although first of all the unlock method is literally just time + number of matches, not given out through unique accomplishments like in previous games. Oh well, I basically got them all by backing out of story mode after every 3 fights or so. Notably, the difficulty level of "new challengers" is a lot higher now. In past games, if you somehow managed to lose, you could just do a single vs match and they would immediately challenge you again. Apparently people have been saying this time around there's some new menu option that lets you fight them again any time you want, except no because there's some 10 minute cooldown between matches, which I honestly don't get.
So, here's something funny. After unlocking all of them on their amped up difficulty fights, Nintendo releases a patch that tones down "new challenger" difficulty.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
