High Strength and Speed Team

Alternating high Speed and high Strength players for this cup is recommended to serve as two tiers of defense and a quick way to bring the ball towards the goal.

Tips for Beating Galactic Mode

Watch Out for Quick Combo Plays

Compared to Normal Mode, opponents in Galactic Mode utilize more of their perfect passes and perfect shots. Try to stop them before it reaches your side, or it will be over before you notice it. Using characters with high Strength and Passing like Donkey Kong can help you break those plays and clear the ball to safety.
How to Perform Perfect Actions

Do Basic Tackles instead of a Charged Tackles

You can easily stop the enemy team's momentum and advancement by simply doing a basic tackle. They won't have time to dodge when you're at point-blank range. Remember that it won't work against high base Strength characters, so use a character that matches their Strength to mark them and take them out.
