Join the Discord channels!

"Discord"

This here is the most popular BBTag Discord channel, click the link to get invited: https://discordapp.com/invite/Y7GXc2g (or this link: https://discord.gg/Y7GXc2g )



(or this link: https://discord.gg/Y7GXc2g ) Every chat is divided into sub-channels, for finding people to play with, click on the matchmaking channel for your platform, there is "PS4-matchmaking", "Switch-matchmaking" and "PC-matchmaking" .



. To be able to be notified for when a player searches for a match in your region, you first have to assign yourself a role . For this, click on the "bot-commands" sub-channel at the bottom under Miscellaneous. Type "ranks." into the chat and press enter, and you find a complete list of all roles you can use and the people who have that role. Search for your platform and your region, then type "rank. " followed by the name of the role and the bot will assign it to you.

" followed by the name of the role and the bot will assign it to you. Now as long as you have Discord open, you will be notified by a sound and a red flag on the channel it came from when a player who has the same role searches for an opponent currently. Go back to the matchmaking channel and accept the match, agree together on a server lobby or if you want to make a private one and play!



If no one else is searching currently, you can put out a call yourself. For that go into the matchmaking channel of your platform and then type "@" with the role you want to ping behind it and press enter. This informs now everyone on the Discord with a ping who has the same role, maybe someone out there agrees!

(But don't ping too often and don't spam the "@" option, because if you do it can become very annoying as a lot of people get informed constantly and a mod might ban you for it. Give it a break after every ping, like at least half-an-hour, sometimes people who join later see your ping and then agree.)

I play on PC (Steam) and I play in Europe. Therefore I go to the "bot-commands" channel and type "ranks."



I see that there is a role that fits my options, it is called "Europe_Steam".

I type "rank. Europe_Steam" and the bot confirms that I now have that role.



I type "rank. Europe_Steam" and the bot confirms that I now have that role. I then join the appropriate matchmaking channel, which is in my case "PC-matchmaking". I see that no one searches for someone to play with currently, so I type "@Europe_Steam" which pings all people on the Discord with the same role.



Luckily after a few minutes, someone in the channel answers me. We tell each other which nick we have in-game and agree to meet in the 1-1 server lobby.

Discord is a great way to take part in the community of a game and to find people to play with.

There are other Discord channels of the game, which you may find useful too:

Because it can sometimes be hard to find players, people don't simply wait around in lobbies all the time hoping that someone joins. Instead, they use other websites or chats to talk with each other and meet together for games. The standard right now is the chat-program, which you can download here: https://discordapp.com You can download the app and let it run in the background (suggested) or use it in your browser. The program works with channels that require an invite, so you have to get a link from somewhere to be able to join the channel and be able to watch and write there. You only need to do that once, as soon as you got invited with your account the channels will open anytime you open Discord.As an example, here is how in my case I would go if I want to find a match:Or just to chat! Also, there is a lot of tech shared about the game and the characters, be sure to check out the approriate character-channels where you can find all kind of information and help. You can also assign yourself a character role to be notified of news about them.A BBTag discord specifically for EU players, the "Awakening the Chaos" community; very populated and friendly and they hold frequent EU online-tournaments for PC and PS4: https://discordapp.com/invite/xjHDwja (or this link: https://discord.gg/xjHDwja Another BBTag discord, not as populated though: https://discordapp.com/invite/HuP77BX (or this link: https://discord.gg/HuP77BX This one collects Twitter posts with BBTag related hashtags, great to find new tech of charaters: https://discordapp.com/invite/StABhpF (or this link: https://discord.gg/StABhpF There are also Discords for general fighting games and for specific regions and more, you can find more information in the "related discords" sub-channel.
