Beginners Guide

This page is for users who just started the game and don't know what to do.

Rules
The rules are easy. Each player must kick the ball around and try to score more goals than the opponent until 60 seconds are up. If it's a draw, you go to sudden death. (Except for the Head Cup's first 3 games)

Sudden Death 

Sudden death is when time runs out in a draw. The power bars no longer charge and you have to score on the opponent using pure skills. If you had a power shot ready it can be carried to sudden death and used once. The winner of the sudden death is the winner of the whole match.

About the game and its modes
Currently there are 6 non-multiplayer game modes:

Arcade is the most interesting mode for beginners.

You should play Tournament if you have some experience.

Survival is important for Costumes, also it's a fast way to earn points.

League is locked until you win against Z in Arcade.

Only play Head Cup if you are good in the game, otherwise, you will just waste your points.

Death Mode is the ultimate challenge. It's harder than it looks, and you need to brace yourself for the challenge.

The Game controls are very easy, we don't think we have to explain it. Only thing I got to say is that you can dash (quick movement forwards/backwards) if you double click the left/right button, you will dash further than usual. For power shots that involve flame and fire, for example, India, when their power hits you, you combust into flame and get three question marks above your head, and your controls are reversed.

Also, you can counter a power shot if you press Kick just before the Power shot reaches your Character. This is an advanced method, and can be quite hard.

Getting Started
Don't be frustrated if you don't win often, the beginning of this game is really hard.

5,000 free points!
'''On IOS devices, you can get 5.000 free points by trying to play with 'Coming soon'. You will be asked to leave a 5-star vote in the app store. Say 'yes', you don't have to leave a vote, simply click and then return, you'll receive your points. Spend them on upgrading everything once, and Jump and Survival a second time.'''

Start off by getting Cameroon!
The first thing that you should do is get Cameroon, with the exception of downloading the game. This can be done with using South Korea to beat all the characters in Arcade up to France. It is considered by many the easiest character to unlock.

Arcade
NOTE: Characters with a check mark are some of the best to use because of a definite goal or because it is useful to unlock for unlocking characters.
 * Try to play more Arcade in the game. Try to get at least 4 achievements with opponents from South Korea to Poland. Don't try Asura yet as you have to pay 50,000 points to play him which is really expensive just to battle him if you are too lazy to watch the video.

Survival
Survival is the 3rd Game Mode and here you must play matches with a total of 3-10 balls. When you or your opponent score a goal the other will lose one ball. So the player who loses all of his balls loses the match. The first 10 matches the opponent will have one ball, the second 10 matches they have 2 balls and so farther and farther. Every 10th, 20th, 30th, and farther match you must play against the Cyborg.The Costume that the Cyborg wears you will get that when you beat him. This is totally random and you will only get Costumes in which rank you are or lower. After every 10 matches you will go a rank higher. It start with the F Rank and you will go to the SS Rank. You reach the SS Rank after match 70. Also are there a lot of handy glitches in the Survival mode.

League is a game mode with 18 matches. You can unlock it to win in Arcade against all Characters of South Korea till Z.

The League Mode is exist out 3 different Leagues. The Amateur League is the first one, who you unlock after you beat Z in Arcade. This is also the easiest one, the only good Characters that can play in the Amateur League are Austria and Switzerland. When you come first in the Amateur League, you unlock the Minor League the second League. This one is also not very hard but there are some very good Characters, but if you win against all and only lose against the good Characters you can still become 1st.

Head Cup
Head Cup is a Game Mode in Head Soccer that was added in the 3.0 update and cost 5,000 points to join. It is formatted the same way as the World Cup. Normally, when you get past the four contestants in your division, the characters become upgraded a lot (Dash, Kick, Power, Jump and Speed) and tend to have SS Rank costumes. Once you can manage to take the CPU's costumes off, they go back to having to skills of a normal CPU. There are 32 teams that start out in 8 divisions, A-H. The player then plays versus all other teams in their division. Like in a real world cup, the game can end with a draw, so there's no Sudden Death. After that you go to elimination rounds which goes from the Round of 16, to the Quarter finals, then the semi finals, and finally the final. Upon winning it all you receive 30,000 points second place 20,000 third place 15,000 and fourth place gets 10,000 and gets kicked in the face by third place winner while crouching on the ground.
