The Battle Dome A stadium that is located deep within Bowser's Castle. It is made completly of metal. Konga Coliseum This stadium actually is wooden. It's located somewhere in the jungle. A wooden stadium located deep within the Jungle. Which Jungle? No one knows... Crater Field A grassy stadium that is built within a giant crater on Yoshi's home Island. The Palace A stadium that is contained within a Palace, very basic. Pipeline Central A stadium in the sky that was built for Mario and Luigi. The Underground A stadium underground built byWario and Waluigi. It is grassy and has a lot of red. The Vice A bare field that lacks anything unique, the ground is cracked about. Thunder Island An island in the middle of a vast sea, it has rough/mountainous terrain. There is no electric fence so you can fall into the ocean. Because of strong winds the ball can move without anyone touching it and cheep cheeps and cows can be blown accross the field. Sand Tomb A field filled with sand built strangly in the middle of a desert. The field is split into two seperate areas each with its own strength and weaknesses. The middle of the stadium is solid ground allowing a normal running speed but you can be crushed by Thwomps. If you go around the middle you will enter the sand. The sand makes you run slower but it lacks the thwomps. The Classroom A very basic arena with no hazards in it at all. It is used for practice in Strikers 101. Characters: Poor: 1-2 Below Average: 3-4 Average: 5 Above Average: 6-8 Excellent: 9-10 Balanced: They are balanced stat wise. They can do everything decently great for filling in any team's weak spot be it offensive deffensive or inbetweensive. Playmaker: These guys cna make the plays! They can get out the X's and O's and draw all sorts of crazy diagrams that no one can figure out what they mean! In actuality they are the speedy players. They can run and pass like the wind and make for a great forward to bring the ball into enemy territory and then pass the ball for a one-timer! But in the end isn't that what a true playmaker does? Power: These are the players on the roids. Just look how angry they are, serious case of roid rage. They can shatter bones and electrify enimies with one solid push into the fence! They move slow (who needs speed when you can kill those in your way?) and are total ball hogs with poor passing skillz. Use these guys with some playmakers to make a formitable team! Defensive: A good defense is a wall or something like that. Having a strong defense is the name of the game really. Have a good defense and those playmakers and power houses wont know what to do! USe them to save your goalie from a strenuous game of diving to save every other ball (he wont catch them all either). Offensive: They play offense; they score. They are what you get when a playmaker and a power are thrown into a blender and one type comes out. They can pass and shoot they are as they say a renonsance man. Captains [MSC 3a] Mario Type: Balanced Speed: Above Average Shooting: Above Average Passing: Above Average Defence: Above Average Super Power: SUPER MARIO!

Unleash Bowser's powerfull firebreath upon the weak! It even affects the goalie! It lites the people on fire and makes them run around in a panic (fools should Stop Drop and Roll not run around). Once you're master of your domain (fire breathing) just attack the goalie so he can only rebound Weakness: Attack his weakpoint for massive damage! His weakpoint is in the back he will turn around so use it to stop him from burninating the goalie. Yoshi: Type: Balanced Speed: Above Average Shooting: Above Average Passing: Above Average Defence: Above Average Super Power: Egg Roll (yummy)! Hops into his trademark egg and rolls around the field crushing all who oppose the mighty dinosaur. If you hit B you break out of the egg. Just crush all who oppose you near the goal, and unleash your strike! Weakness: Just run, run like the dikens and you wont be crushed. Daisy: Type: Defensive Speed: Excellent Shooting: Excellent Passing: Below Average Defence: Excellent Deke: Teleport Super Power: Crystal Smash!- Cause massive crystals to pop up from the ground to stab (ok just push away) nearby players. Use this to clear the immediate area for a Strike! Weakness: Just run away, before you get hit. SIDEKICKS! [MSC 3b] The Sidekicks are back and more powerful than ever. Although they cannot use the OMFG Mega Strikes, they can pack a punch. You can also now pick and choose sidekicks to make your team the best of the best. Koopa Troopa: Type: Balance Speed: Above Average Shooting: Above average Passing: Above Average Defence: Above Average Skillshot: Hulk Smash err...I mean Shell Smash! Send a giant metal koopa shell at the goalie, stunning him in place! Tatics: Crush and shoot, sounds very good. Weakness: Just run out of his shell's way and hes a pushover just tackle him.

Electrify the ball and zap th goalie into a coma leaving an open goal. Then the ball rolls back with next-gen backspin giving him a free shot. Tatics: Shock those in your path then go for the goal with the 2nd shot Weakness: You can tackle him while the ball comes back. DO that is probably the best thing you can do. BOO: Type: Playmaker Speed: Excellent Shooting: Below Average Passing: Excellent Defence: Below Average Deke: Quick Teleport (limited use) Skillshot: ???( I call it OMG I CAN'T SEE HIM!1!) Turn invisible and run through stuff, including the goalie. Works best if you're close to the goalie go through him then quickly shoot the ball and score Weakness: The chance of getting through the goalie then scoring fst enough is miniscule not worth it really, but if you can pull it off ^5. Birdo: Type: Power Speed: Below Average Shooting: Excellent Passing: Below Average Defence: Excellent Deke: Spin attack, knocks down those surrounding it Skillshot: X-treme Egg- An unstoppable egg is sent flying at poor Mr. Goalie knocking him down and scorring instantly. (Eggtreme enough for you?) Weakness: Egg can be stopped by anyone but th goalie standing in front of it so stand in front of it. Hammer Bros.: Type: Offensive Speed: Below Average Shooting: Excellent Passing: Excellent Defence: Below Average Deke: Slame Hammer into ground, stunning all those who oppose it Skillshot: Jump in air, and block out the sun with your rain of Hammers, then your team shall score in the darkness. ( Throw a buncha hammers then shoot ball, instant score) Use the skill shot after your Deke for a more or less a gaurenteed goal. Weakness: Just before he lands form his slam attack unleash a tackle on him and you should make it out fine before the waves. Monty Mole: Type: Power Speed: Below Average Shooting: Excellent Passing: Below Average Defence: Excellent Deke: Burrow underground, pop up and knockdown the person you pop up under. Skillshot: Dirt Drill- Dig underground and form a tunnel leading to the goalie then pop up and shoot. Cna knock out goalie if close enough. Burrow and pop up and then smack talk your friend who just got knocked out? Honestly I got nothing. Weakness: You cna ounch yoru friend for making fun of your team? No weakness really, but theres no strategy to give a weakness so it sind of a moot point. Shy Guy: Type: Balanced Speed: Above Average Shooting: Above Average Passing: Above Average Defence: Above Average Skillshot: Bullet Bill Blast- A Bullet Bill appears and Shy Guy rides it to the goal. You can only stop the bullet before shy guy gets on otherwise its indestructable. Once it hits the goal it stuns everyone including himself, but shy guy gets up quicker than the goalie or others so you might still score. Tatic: Blow up the goal then use Shy Guy if you wanna wait, or run a speedster to the goal and pick up the ball and score before anyone gets up. Weakness: Blow up the bomb early, or use a fast character and steal the ball before Shy Guy Wakes up. Controls [MSC 4] Offensive: Control Stick: Move D-Pad: Skill (Deke, defensive move whatever you wanna call it) A: Pass B: Shoot Hold to use Strike/charge 1: Pause Nunchuck: Move to switch item C: Use Item Z: Chip Ball Z+A: Lob pass Z+B: Lob Shot Defensive: Wiimote: Shake to hit opponent Control Stick: Move D-pad Slide tackle A: Switch player 1: Pause Nunchuck: move to switch items, shake opponent Mega Strike C: Items Goalie: Wiimote: Point to block ball in Super Strike Control Stick: Move A: Pass, during Super Strike: Defend B: Shoot Tournaments: This is the bulk of the guide. The opponets wont be listed because they most likly will be in a different order depending on who you picked. Tips & Tricks [MSC 5] Intercepting a Pass: Slide tackle into the ball, you know control the ball! Intercept a Lob: Run to the Circle that appears then press A first to intercept and pass or B to intercept and Shoot. One-Timer: Press A to pass the ball then while the ball is traveling hit B to shoot the ball as soon as the receiver gets it. This can be done with lobs too. Makes scoring a little easier as it confuses the Goalie. Fake-out: Charge the ball then press A in the middle of the charge to pass and preform a fake out. If you hit B before the receiver gets the ball you will preform a one-timer. Slow-mo: To make the game appear to be in Slow motion just charge the ball then do a one-timer. Slam Dunk: Take a character whose Skill is Jump. When the goalie is about to attack you jump then shoot the ball in midair and score above the goalie's head. Teleport: Charge the ball, then pass to a defensive player. USe their Skill and teleport ahead, if done right you'll end up in the goal and with a quick shot you'll score. Items [MSC 6] Bananas: Banana peels appear, they come in 1, 3 or 5. They cause your opponent to slip and fall. They are randomly shot out when used. Green Shells: Three Green shells fly straight ahead and bounce on the walls. They break uon contact with a player. Giant Shells do no break upon player contact. Red Shells: Like Mario Kart they hunt down close members and knock them down. There are giant Red Shells as well. Blue Shells: Blue Shells are sent out like Green Shells but upon contact they freeze the player. Useful for setting up charge shots and mega Strikes. Gaint Shells of Blue Exist as well. Spikey Shells: Green shells with spikes, enough said, gaint availble etc. Mushroom: Makes you grow large and get faster. Star: Makes you invincible. Use it set up combos works great with Super Strikes Bob-ombs: Bombs fall from the sky, get stuck then blow up. Giant ones make bigger explosions. Chain Chomp: A chain comp appears and takes down everyone on the opposing team. Very rare, only appears if you are getting skooled. Super Skill: Item in the shape of the captain's face allows them to use their super Skill. Tournaments: [MSC 7] Fire Cup Firecup Qualifying Rules: Four Teams, Play each team twice, Top two teams advance to elimination round. View the Schedule to see who you're playing and when, and cup stats to see how the other teams have done. Since it is hard to give a walkthrough with the game randomized.. I'll try my best. Listed is each Character their team and any tips I have after beating them. Wario Captain: Wario Sidekicks: Boo, Toad, Dry Bones I found that using Dry Bone's Shock attack worked well against the goalie, and if shot from just over the center line it would go right above the goalie. Use items to protect and use Megastrikes. Yoshi Captain: Yoshi Sidekicks: Dry Bones, Toad, Shy Guy The Hammer trick as always will work decenty againt the computer. The electric ball thatDry Bones has is aso effective. Be sure to watch out for Shy Guy's bullet ride! Bowser Captain: Bowser Sidekicks: Boo, Hammer Bros, Monty Mole His team is power heavy but slow, use this to your advantage. Use one timers and pass quickly and use white charged shots to gain the victory! Bowser Jr. Captain: Bowser Jr. Sidekicks: Monty Moles, Koopa, Dry Bones He is very tough being the champion and all. He is very VERY aggresive never letting you charge p shts or use megastrikes. Use one timers and items to gain some time to charge up shots or megastrikes. Use the Hammer spam to keep his Sidekicks at bay while you unleash the Hammer Rain. The 2nd time you fight him he is even more agresive and will constantly attack you with tackles, the fence, and items. This challenge is a series of 3, so you'll need two wins to beat the Fire cup. Congrats You've now unlocked Bowser jr. as a captain and the Lava Pit Level. If you earned the two Trophies, (Brick wall,limited goals allowed, and the Golden Foot, many goals scored) congrats you've also unlocked the Wastelands! Crystal Cup DK Captain: DK Sidekicks:Dry Bones, Shy Guy, Monty Mole The match is played at the Dump. DK has a lot fo power so do anything to stop him from getting the ball, even if it means giving him items by tackleing him when he doesn't have the ball. All his team mates will pass the ball to him mostly. If he charges a megastrike and no one is near shake the nunchuck like hell and you'll screw up his megastirke hopefully allowing you to block all the balls. Bowser Jr. Captain: Bowser Jr. Sidekicks: Hammer Bros. Hammer Bros. Shy Guy The match is played at the wastelands. His goalie is very good at stoping megastrikes so its up to you if you want to use them. Be careful of the lightning here remember the 1st two are warnign and the 3rd the real deal, use this to your advantage let him have the ball during lightning or shoot the ball so his goalie is holding the ball when the 3rd strike comes. His goalie will be knocked out for 15 seconds, ample time to just do a quick shot into the goal! Mario Captain: Mario Sidekicks: Birdo, Monty Mole, Dry Bones The field is pipeline central. Mario is ultra violent. He will tackle you relentlessly so use the items you get to your advantage use them to use skillshots and megastrikes. Keep the ball away from him at all costs as he will score if you don't have a dtrong defense. Watch out for Birdo's egg, stop him ro stand in front of it, cause its an instant goal if not stopped. Peach Captain: Peach Sidekicks: Monty Mole, Toad, Shy Guy The field is the Lava Pit. USe the lava that spits up to your advantage. Get behind it and usleash megastrikes or a skillshot. Dry bones and Hammer Bros. work well for skillshots behind the lava. Just keep on her with tackles, and use items to your advantage and especially the lava, and you'll walk out a winner. Waluigi Captain: Waluigi Sidekicks: Birdo, Boo, Shy Guy The Field is The Sand Tomb. Keep the ball from them. Birdo cna one shot the goal and score easily. Follow Waluigi like a hound, especially if he has Wall-uigi dont let him incase himself and unleash a megastrike. With a little luck and good timing/items you can win it! The Dump is unlocked when you get the Golden Foot and Brick Wall awards. Diddy Kong Captain: Diddy Kong Sidekicks: Hammer Bros, Shy Guy, Dry Bones The big daddy, and man is this match tough. This is a best of 3 series so even if you lose a match don't fret you just have to win the rest. Diddy's ability the Red Card is a pain and he knows how to use it. Especially since you're at the Crystal field which removes players to being with, this means you might not have any players at all, and he will use a 6 ball megastrike. Shake the nunchuck like mad and hope your awesome at Megasaves. Make sure you do not under any circumstance give him any items, cause he will get good items and not bananas. Use skill shots like the Hammer Rain, Egg-streme shot, and the electriball to get some goals. This match is the hardest yet and if you lose you have to re-play the whole tournament so stay calm, Don't Panic!, and just try your best. Strikers 101 [MSC 8] Learn the basics and how to play well! 1/10 BOWSER The Basics Objective: Score a goal and win the Game Initial Time: 1:00 Initial Score: 0-0 Shouldn't be hard.

Objective: Stop Enough Balls to win the game! Initial Time: 0:20 Initial Score: 12-0 This one may take a try or two before you beat it but thats ok the more practice the better! Depending on how well DK times his shot anywhere from 3 to 6 balls can come flying at you at various speeds. Then they will stop and you have to point and hit A and the ball will blow up. Anny you don't blow up score. If you manage to stop all the shots you will hold the ball for a fw seconds then throw the ball all the way down the field this allows him less time to shoot and makes the challenge that much easier. 4/10 Mario MEGASTRIKE! Objective: You trail 0-12, Come back to win! Initial Time: 0:20 Initial Score: 0-12 This should be reall simple. Run to the middle of Bowser's part of the field then charge the ball, hit B when you hit the "6" section then hit B again when at the green marker. The Number tells you how many Balls and the color tells how fast they fly. You should have plenty of time to get at least 12 goals to put it into sudden death if you don't win it! 5/10 Hammer Bros. Sidekick Skillshots! Objective: Win the Game by using Skillshots! Initial Time: 0:45 Initial Score: 0-02 This shoudl be simple if you use Hammer Bros.'s Hammers of fury.

Just use his deke to turn invisble then cahrge a shot and fly to the goal and score three times. It takes a few seconds to get comfortable with Boo so it might take a 2nd try. 7/10 Mario Super Mario Time! Objective: Win the Game and use your Super Ability! Initial Time: 1:00 Initial Score: 0-2 Spam C and while Huge trample all over little Luigi. The charge up a MegaStrike and score up to 6 times with that. All there is to it easy easy. 8/10 DK Bring the Thunder! Objective: Win the Game and use your super Ability!

Be forewarned his shockwaves hurt your team-mates as well. 9/10 Mario Power-ups! Objective: UNleash some Power-ups and Win the Game! Initial Time: 2:00 Initial Score: 0-0 You don't need items to win, and you only get the items if Bowser or his team hits you a lot or you hit a fence etc. You don't really need them his team is a push over just use the tatics that they've trained you in through the past 8 101 lessons and you'll be fine. 10/10 Mario Win the Game!

Difficulty: Rookie Objective: Score before Dk to win the Game! Initial Time: Sudden Death Initial Score: 2-2 Theres no time limit just keep the ball out of Dk's possesion. Try and use Boo to get an easy goal or Toad to lite the goalie's hands on Fire then go for a one timer. I personally use monty to clear an area then passed to Mario who used a Megastrike. Unlock: Classic Mode Cheat. 2/12 Luigi Sibling Rivalry! Difficulty: Rookie Objective: You are down by two goals come back to win! Initial Time: 1:00 Initial Score: 1-3 This match can be a bit tricky as you lack good sidekicks. A good idea since this is rookie is to move to a sei-open shot and unleash a megastrike. It will allow you to have more time to score and it can give you the 3+ goals you need to win! Unlock: Safe Megastrike Cheat. 3/12 DK This Monkey Shines Difficulty: Professional Objective: You are losing 0-3 come back to win Initial Time: 2:45 Initial score: 0-3 Megastrikes. Use them. Start of the match pull out either a 4 or 5 ball one, most likly 1 or 2 will be blocked that will give you a tie. Now you have lets say 2:30 to score one more goal and keep the ball away. Petey's team is all Power so use Toad and Boo to run around them and keep the ball away. Either Slam dunk with Toad or teleport through with boo if you can find the time or are skilled nough otherwise just try like hell to score you will. Unlock: Super Captains Cheat 4/12 Peach Battle for the Crown! Difficulty: Professional Objective: Win the game by at least five (5) goals Initial Time: 3:00 Initial Score: 0-0 At the Begining of the match run immediatly down and use a Megastrike you should get 5 or 6 balls and most will go in. This should give you about 3 or 4-0. Use Boo to teleport in a goal and you'll have the 5 you need. Now make sure Daisy doesn't score because the game will not go into sudden deaht since you will win but not complete the challenge. Use megastrikes for insurance to get a safety goal or two it will never hurt you physically. Unlock: High Voltage Cheat 5/12 Daisy Brick Wall Baby! Difficulty: Superstar Objective: Win the game with a shutout! Initial Time: 3:00 Initial Score: 0-0 This match can either be hard or easy depends on your defense. Go for a goal early and then you'll have the lead 1-0, now all you have to do is keep him from getting the ball because if he does, there is a very good chance he will score so jsut keep the ball away, if you're really having a hard time, goalie camp. Thats when you take the ball and stand next to your goalie any time someone steals the ball the goalie will tackle them instantly and you keep the ball, it an underhanded tatic but it'll help you out if you can't seem to win it. Cheat Unlocked: Devastating Hits! 6/12 Wario A Stunning Situation Difficulty: Superstar Objective: Win the game, but your goalie is stunned easily Initial Time: 1:25 Initial Score: 2-2 This match is really simple actually, just play a good defense which will stop the opposing team from getting the ball and shooting at the goal. All you need is one goal to win so after you get it just slam on all you got on the defense and you'll win this one no sweat. Cheat Unlocked: No Power-ups! 7/12 Waluigi Three Goals Away Diffivulty: Superstar Objective: Win the game by at least 3 goals! Initial time: 0:50 Initial Score: 4-4 Now this can be a tough one, there are two ways really of getting the goals you need. One is through the Boo-urns, stratagy where you always pass to Boo and then use his deke to teleport through the goalie and score, you can easily, do this 3 times in the 50 seconds if boo has the ball. The other way and probably how it will happen is through megastrikes. The goalie is aweful at megasaves so you can easily get 3 in even with only 4 shot. Since you're Waluigi, use the Wall-lugi to encase yourself and megastrike, or if you get some bananas run behind them and use the mega. If it comes down to sudden death and it most likely will, you have to megastrike to win the challenge. Cheat Unlocked: Secure Stadiums 8/12 Yoshi, you'll get him later. 9/12 Bowser Zero Tolerance! Difficulty: Legend Objective: Win the game and post a shutout! Initial Time: 3:00 Initial Score: 0-0 This game is just like Brick Wall Baby! Only 10x harder. Peach is WTF just happened how'd she score the whole match. If you really just want to get through it and take the easy way out, goalie camp. If you want to score you'll have a hard time, Peach is a master of defense and she knows how to use items. Use your fire breath if you can and burn them all including the goalie then take a shot or you could Boo-urns a shot into the goal. After that goal slam on all you got defense wise and be prepared for the skills Peach will use against you. Cheat Unlocked: Tilting Stadiums 10/12 Petey Tag Team Tussle Difficulty: Legend Objective: Win the game! Each team has only two players Initial Time: 3:00 Initial Score: 0-0 You're team is Petey and Monty Mole against DK and toad. You're team is super slow but Petey has a powerful shot and superskill. Surround yourself in the much and megastrike for a goal or two. Toad knows what he is doing with perfect Jumps and everything, he alos pulls off the fire move a ton. You're slow so its easy for the fast Toad to charge up shots and score, so keep the ball away from Toad at all costs. This challenge is actually pretty easy and should only take a try or two. Just get the mudslinger skill stand in mud and megastrike 6 balls, DK will shake the meter but even if you dont get it in green you'll at least get 1 in, I always got 1 in outside of green anyways. Cheat Unlocked: Always White Ball 11/12 Bowser Jr Against All Odds! Difficulty: Megastriker Objective: Win the Game without any powerups (items)! Initial Time: 3:00 Initial Score: 0-0 This match actually wasn't that hard. Bowser will take advantage of the fact you cannot get items and will just abuse you and tackle you all the time. The trick here is to play a sart offense with lots of ball passing to get the ball white, then you need to one timer it into the goal. Use your sidekicks to full advantage by using their skill shots, Hammer spammer wont work on Megastriker difficulty so dont bother. Use Bowser's items against him as well. If he puts down some bananas use them for yourself, stand behind them and use a volt ball and such. Cheat Unlocked: Always Sidekick Skillshot 12/12 Diddy Kong Lucky Seven! Difficulty: Megastriker Objective: Win the game and score at least 7 goals Initial Time: 3:00 Initial Score: 0-0 Really not that hard of a challenge. Seems odd that the two megastriker levels arn't that hard with Yoshi only being a legend. YOu play on the Crystal field that removes some players so already this is looking good. His goalie is god aweful at megasaves always letting two in sometimes 3 if you get green higher if you get orange. Megastrikes are also easy to pull off use the Red Card ability when you get it to removes some players and stand in the beam to save yourself form any not in the immediate area and 6 ball it and you'll do fine. DO that a few times and you'll have almost 7 or over 7 or maybe 7 exactly. Also use items to your advantage Yoshi is always attacking you giving you them, use them to get off a volt ball everyonce in a while and you'll win this won in a few tries max. Cheat Unlocked: Custom Power-ups! Yoshi coming soon! 12. Hall of Fame [MSC 12] Coming next update! 12a.

Nintendo Wi-Fi COnnections (Online) [MSC 13] Online play is very easy to do and tons of fun. All Captains are unlocked instantly so yes you can use Diddy, Petey, and Bowser Jr. before you unlock them for use in off-line mode. When you start up click on the globe to go the Mii menu. Slelect the Mii you want to use for online matches. If it is your first time your Wii will give you a code and log you on. Otherwise a Box will appear with information. It will show the Mii face then the Name when last used and Total Wins and Loses SO my Card has the picture than says Brian Last Used: 07/31/2007 Total Wins: 2. Losses: 0 I havn't played much online (too much single player for the guide). Then Select Use this Mii. You will then Login. Once logged in you will see updated Statistics and Rankings, such as your season rank, how many points you've gotten today. How much Season Time is left, and the Striker of the Day and how many points they've earned. You can also see if any of your friends are connected. You then have 4 options Battle Friends, Friend Roster, Ranked, LeaderBoard (and Help but thats what I'm here for). Ranked- PLay a series to earn points and climb up the Leaderboards Battle Friends- Create a Domination Series and Challenge your friends! Leaderboard- Check out your current Rankings and Compare yourself against others in your region! Friend Roster- Manage your Friend Roster Here by adding or removing friends! Use Battle Friends to play a somewhat friendly online match with no point or rank gain. Friend Roster is where you can add Friends and view your Friend Code. Your Friend code is tied to the Mii you are using and appears in fairly small numbers compared to everything else on the screen. The Code is 12 digits in length seperated into two sets of 6, like this: 232034 938530 (Yes that is my Friend Code email me if you want me to add you). Click the Add Friend button to enter in a Friend's Friend code (that sounds really wierd). Ranked puts you into a match against someone of equal season Rank, they are best of 3 with whoever wins 2 getting the Win. You gain 10 points for a victory and 1 ponit for each goal you score. Leaderboard: View those who are like skilled. You are ranked based on PTs and record. Someone 2-0 (like me) cna be the same rank as one who is 2-1 (like many other rank 2499s :P). Your connection is based on Stars 1 being worst and 4 being best (same as bars only look nice). There is very little Lag if any at all and feels like you are playing against a really smart and good computer (sometimes). Dissconects are counted as Losses but you almost always get poitns so dont dissconect its no fun. Mega Strikes are hard to pull off I have yet to do so, I'll update what happens when I can pull one off and when I defend one (it shouldn't be too different though.) 14.
