Upon pausing, the pause menu will show up giving you four options: Resume, Controls, Game Guide, and Quit Match. If you choose Quit Match, the game will ask you if you're sure before you're sent to the main menu.

Unpausable Times In-Game

Checkmark Hyper Strike animations
Checkmark Replays

There are moments in-game wherein pausing cannot be done. This occurs when the ball is not yet in play, during Hyper Strike animations, and replays.

Nothing will happen by pressing the (+) button when the ball is not in play or during Hyper Strike animations. Additionally, pressing the pause button during replays will just skip the replay instead.

Can You Pause the Game During Online Matches?

Match Continues After Opening Menu

Pressing the (+) button during any online match while the game is in play will bring up the pause menu, but the match will keep on going.

It is not recommended to open the pause menu during online matches as your opponents will still be able to move while the character you're using will remain idle.
