By selecting the Online Battle option from the main menu, the player was first given a choice between three randomly-selected Battle Modes and then allowed to select their character. From here, they were placed in a training room to wait until three other players could connect to their lobby. If this was successful, the match would begin with a random Battle Mode from the pool the players chose. Depending on how well the player performed in a battle, they would gain rank points which contributed to a rank level system, which in turn would match them with players of similar rank. Each time the player gained a rank level, Battle Coins were awarded, which could be spent in the Collection List. Each rank level required more points to reach than the preceding one. | ||
