If you've noticed, players need a certain rating to unlock new characters. The letter rating represents a certain amount of points players need to get on each character.

C: 0 points – 49,9999 points
B: 50,000 points – 99,9999 points
A: 100,000 points – 199,99 points
S: 200,000 points – 499,999 points
S+: 500,000 points – 999,999 points
S++: 1,000,000 points

As such, players will need to get at least 100,000 points on each character to unlock all of the characters. Additionally, if the player gets an S rank or higher in all three stages, they will be able to unlock the Handcannon from the Extra Content Shop for 1,000 CP. This is faster compared to having to finish Professional Mode without using bonus weapons.
