Watch Out for Long-Range Shots

Cannon Cup represents teams that are best at shooting and scoring a goal. Leaving them open is deadly anywhere around the shooting area. Make sure to play defense as well, and do not let them shoot the ball as much as you can to prevent them from scoring.

Tips for Beating Galactic Mode

Opponents Don't Pass Frequently

Take advantage of the opponents' behavior, which they are not passing that often, and tackle them to steal the ball. Go for a counterattack once you get the ball to score and take the lead.

They won't be passing that much, but they would still Dodge to look for a shot, so watch out for that as well!

Don't Let them Do Perfect Shots

Letting your opponents do Perfect Shots is fatal. They have a high chance of scoring from doing Perfect Shots, and you have to stay close to them to prevent that. Use items as well when you have to!
