You can choose to follow these rules if you are struggling in a WI-FI match
1. Rules of engagment - do not fire unless fired upon.
2. To make allies, shoot to the ground with your power beam next to the person you want to be your ally. Most metroid gamers already know that.
3. If your "ally" aggrees to be your freind, you can team up and beat the crap out of the even tougher opponent. If he dissaproves, try to hide for the rest of the match and quit.
4. If you want to make a new freind in a 1 on 1 match, follow step 1, but if he shoots you, follow step 2 (espessially if that person uses AR), If he still shoots you.....your on your own...
Ok, I hope this helps all the new metroid gamers, or anyone else.
Also here is a way to acctually add a rival to be your freind:
1. Choose combat hall
2. Use the big walls as "notepads" and your power beam as your "pen" and type in your freind code
3. You just made a freind
I know that this should help most people who have no freinds...
