Decision table
Choose the mode by the next player job
Use the action column as the next test, not as a claim about hidden game values.
| Situation | Action | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You do not understand the system yet | Story or Training | Both reduce the cost of learning inputs and situations. |
| You need repeated opponents offline | Arcade | A contained run tests one pair across several fights. |
| Friends use different platforms | Crossplay lobby check | The official feature still needs a live group test. |
| Inputs feel wrong online | Rollback and controller check | Connection and layout problems can look like character problems. |
