All 2XKO game modes

2XKO isn't your traditional fighting game. It takes inspiration from the many "tag-team" fighters we've seen. That means it employs a 2v2 system, where you may control both fighters. So, with that type of unique approach, what kind of game modes are there in 2XKO?

The game might not be traditional in a sense, but its game modes certainly are. You'll be more than familiar with the type of modes you can jump into.

The game is currently in its Alpha Lab state. This is just a test period, so expect things to change upon full release. Or even with another test if they choose to do one. That means more game modes could be added to 2XKO, and we'll update you here if they are.

Casual is just what you think it is. This 2XKO game mode puts you in the cool arcade lobby system. Other players and their avatars walk around waiting for a spot to open up.

In there, you can watch others fight, sit at a cabinet or TV, or even interact with others to duo up or add them as a friend. Just be ready once you take up a spot at a machine, because then it is time to fight.

Private lobbies are available. You won't go into the main arcade lobby you see in Casual mode, however. Instead, a much cozier and smaller lobby awaits you.

A code can be made by the host, or you can just start the private match for it to auto-generate one. Send it to your friends and they can enter it to join, where you can train or straight up fight each other.

Training is exactly how it sounds. This 2XKO game mode is where you'll take on bots. You get to pick your fighters, the opposing fighters, and the stage.

Then you can practice your combos or learn some new tricks without worrying about getting beaten down. That is possible, though, if you go into the pause menu and change the bot settings to make them fight back.

The Tutorial game mode in 2XKO is a bit different than Training. You don't get to pick your fighters or the stage here. The game just sends you right into a fight with tooltips on the screen.

A certain amount of each action shown must be completed to move on. This is a good way to learn the controls if you end up switching from keyboard and mouse to a controller or gamepad, and vice versa.

There's no ranked queue or ladder just yet. As previously mentioned, the game is currently in an Alpha Lab testing period. That means the game modes in 2XKO are fairly limited right now. It is safe to assume a ranked mode will come upon full launch, however.
