Tips and tricks
- Cooperative modes reward splitting roles: one player handles offence while the other covers, rather than both rushing.
- In shared-keyboard games, agree on who uses which keys before you start — hand collisions cause more losses than skill does.
- Use the first round to test. Try something unusual and see how the opponent reacts; the information is worth more than the round.
- Play the opponent, not the game. Notice what your rival keeps doing and punish that habit.
