How it plays

• Two fighters on a floating pad. Stick runs. Tap SHOVE to jab. Hold, then release for a smash.
• GRAB throws at close range. DASH bursts and bumps. Hold SWAP to brace. Tap SWAP to burst when the meter fills.
• Hits add heat. Heat scales knockback. Fall off the rim and you lose the stock. First to three stocks wins.

Hints

• Tap SHOVE for a jab. Hold, then release for a smash.
• GRAB at close range throws them toward the lip.
• DASH through them to bump. Hold SWAP to brace. Tap SWAP to burst when the meter fills.

Tips

• Near the rim, DI toward center and dash home. That coyote window is real.
• Heat is smash percent. A 120% smash from the middle still sends.
• Throw at the edge. Burst when they are already on the lip.
