Waves mode is a cooperative experience where you and up to three friends face off against endless waves of AI-controlled enemies. This mode offers a different kind of challenge, requiring teamwork and strategic thinking rather than just individual brawling prowess. The goal is to survive as many waves as possible.
- Team Coordination: Work together to focus fire on single enemies, revive downed teammates, and protect each other from being thrown off the stage.
- Environmental Awareness: Just like in Melee, use the stage hazards to your advantage against the AI. Throw enemies into fires, off ledges, or into trains.
- Reviving Teammates: If a teammate is knocked out but not eliminated, you can grab and lift them to revive them. This is crucial for long-term survival.
- Prioritize Threats: Some AI enemies are more aggressive or harder to take down. Prioritize eliminating them to reduce pressure on your team.
Waves mode is excellent for practicing your grabbing and throwing techniques in a less competitive environment, and for honing your cooperative skills.
