How it plays
Two players fight on one screen, each picking a team of three to tag in and out.
Auto-combos let a newcomer pull off flashy moves right away, though a practised player will still win easily.
Online, friends can fill a Ring Match room of up to eight and take turns, or play a three-on-three Party Match where six each control one fighter.
On Switch, that Party Match also works offline on one console or across two.
Rollback netcode on PS5, Xbox Series and PC does not cover Party Match.
