How it plays
How does Super Dodge Ball play?
Players control a team in side-view dodgeball matches. The objective is to eliminate the opposing team by striking players with the ball while avoiding catches and attacks.
Matches are organized as a tournament against teams from different countries. Players can move around the arena, pick up or throw the ball, catch incoming throws, and use close-range attacks. Victory advances the team to the next opponent, while defeated players are removed from the match.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Super Dodge Ball?
Keep your team spread out so one throw cannot threaten several players at once. Watch the opponent's throwing rhythm and catch or dodge predictable shots instead of attacking constantly.
Use the edges of the court carefully, collect loose balls quickly, and focus attacks on weakened opponents. Preserve your strongest players for later rounds, since tournament matches become more demanding.
