If you've played other fast-paced, battle royale-style multiplayer games like Fusion Frenzy or TowerFall Ascension, you know that playing local party games where all players share one screen can be a lot of fun, especially with four players total. Playing Blade Ballet locally is no different. It's a hilarious premise; even just two casual players can have a lot of fun spinning their robots aimlessly around the game's hectic arenas.

However, it's a shame that there are barely any Blade Ballet players playing online. I tried to find an online match at different times on launch day. More than half the time, I was unable to find three other players online to play with on any regional server. When I finally could join and complete a match, I often had to wait several minutes to join the next game because I had to requeue constantly. This is where I think Blade Ballet's online mode could benefit from a post-game "vote to rematch" feature, so players have the option to replay against the same opponents as long as they can. Granted, this was my personal online experience while playing on Steam; I can't speak to the PS4 player community.
