play modes
This mode involves fighting in a race against the computer, in which you’ll
compete for the time remaining until Game Clear. Conduct a tournament
of eight bouts; when Game Clear is displayed, the Result screen will
appear. If your total time is in the top ten at Game Clear in Time Attack
mode, you can record your name. See “Name Entry” (page 21).
TIME ATTACK MODE
This is a special mode for two-player battles. After each bout, the display
returns to the Character Select screen and fighting continues until players
exit the mode. By using Options to change settings such as health and the
number of sets, you can engage in combat under a variety of conditions.
VERSUS MODE
This mode allows you to form a tag team of two characters and conduct a
two-on-two tag battle. Single players can fight five tournaments against
the computer, fight another player, or engage in battles of up to four
players simultaneously.
