ONLINE BATTLES
◼︎A thrilling global gauntlet powered by rollback netcode!

Engage in seamless online clashes made possible by newly implemented rollback netcode! Multiple tournament formats (single elimination, double elimination, round robin) let you mix it up in lobbies for up to 9 players. Practice Mode standby, hidden character toggles, and other customization options further enrich the online experience. Harness the power of your heroes and take the fight worldwide!

 

 

 

 

NEW FEATURES

Hit the new and improved Practice Mode, where you can tailor lab sessions to your needs—complete with speed selectors to help you master those brutal combos.
