CASUAL MATCH
Enjoy friendly online matches without worrying about fluctuations in rank.
Though you'll fight using the same ruleset as Ranked Matches, in this mode there'll be no change in Rank Points after each match (regardless of whether you win or lose).
As with Ranked Matches, Casual Matches are also played with characters and stages that you select in advance.
Casual Matches are recommended for those who want to warm up or get in some practice before a Ranked Match, as well as players who simply want to match quickly and enjoy some fighting.
FIGHTER'S HUB
* Learn more about Fighter's Hub here.
Fighter's Hub contains a matchmaking toggle for Casual Matches.
Enable it and leave Fighter's Hub to start the matchmaking process.
Do the same with the Ranked Match toggle to search for Ranked and Casual Match opponents simultaneously.
You'll see something like this at the top of the screen whenever the game is trying to match you to an opponent.
* You can stand by in Training Mode while waiting for a match. If you enter a mode where standby isn't supported, the game will stop searching for opponents.
