  • Read the connection bars

    The bars next to each player show the link between you and them: Great feels smooth, Good feels fine, Laggy works but with some delay, and Too far blocks a challenge. Quick match pairs you with nearby players first, so pick Great or Good opponents when you can.

  • Open a fight or challenge

    Open a fight to list it under Waiting for an opponent, and choose its stage (or leave it on Random). Or click a player in the list to challenge them; the stage you picked goes with it.

  • Ranked or friendly

    Quick match, open fights and accepted challenges are ranked. Invite-code matches are friendly and never change your rating. Everyone starts at 1200 and a ranked result moves you by up to 32 points: more for beating a higher-rated player, less for beating a lower one.

  • Watch live fights

    Press Watch on a live fight card to spectate; the card shows how many are watching. Spectating is never held back by a weak connection. Invite-code fights are private and cannot be watched.

  • Leaving a fight

    Leave while fighters are still being picked and it is a no-contest: nobody loses rating. Leave once the fight has started and it is a loss. Staying disconnected for more than about 30 seconds counts as leaving.

  • House players

    If nobody is found after 10 to 18 seconds in quick match, a House player can step in so you still get a fight. It is ranked, but you can only rate against the same House player 3 times a day; after that those games are unranked.
