Royalty Free-For-All Tips & Tricks
Before You Start
Try Party Mode first if you're new to platform fighters -- it's specifically designed to simplify combat for friends unfamiliar with the genre, while the core game still supports deeper techniques for players who want them.
If you're a longtime platform fighter fan, know that wavedashing, tech landing, and foxtrots are all preserved -- don't assume the simplified single-button attack inputs mean shallow depth.
Choosing Your First Fighter
With six total attack types (Light, Strong, and Special, each usable grounded or airborne) shared across the roster, pick a fighter based on their specific character rather than worrying about a steep mechanical learning curve -- the accessible input scheme is designed to let you focus on character identity from the start.
Playing Online
Take advantage of the confirmed rollback netcode for online play, though an Ethernet connection is specifically recommended over Wi-Fi for the smoothest experience.
If You're on Mac or Linux
Check for the latest patch before playing -- the developers have directly acknowledged bugs on these platforms ahead of launch, with fixes expected to land close to release.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming this is a shallow, casual-only fighter because of its accessible single-button attack inputs -- genre-standard advanced techniques are fully preserved underneath that accessible surface.
- Overlooking Party Mode if you're introducing friends to platform fighters for the first time -- it's built specifically for that purpose.
