- Goal be the final player left standing
- Elimination getting knocked out removes you from that match immediately
- Attack slap other players to deal damage and knock them out

Fighting smart
Step
In short
Reading the situation and timing your attacks well matters more than just button-mashing.
Watching what other players are doing and acting at the right moment is the key skill to develop.
- Watch for openings attack when an opponent is already focused on someone else.
- Pull back if several players surround you, create distance rather than trading hits with all of them at once.
- Crash fights jumping into a duel that two others are already having lets you land hits on a weakened target.
- Chase down if an opponent is running, stay on them and finish the knockout.
