When world heavyweight champions want to legitimize their title, they have to fight other champions. These two teams were always destined to meet here, anything else would have been an asterisk next to the title. The drama was already set before the game. Features like skater customisation feel really in keeping with the spirit of the source sport, and while some of the rules and mechanics are different, at its heart this is still played just like roller derby, which is enough to keep me raring for the next match to begin.WBC ends in dramatic fashion as Japan win third title After playing countless hours of Roller Champions during its brief E3 demo, I am hugely excited for the game to fully release. Additionally, I would love to see the ability for players to brace for a hit, timing a button press correctly to avoid being knocked down by a collision. ![]() In roller derby, players who are not currently trying to score can link arms, forming a wall and allowing them greater sideways movement ability, making them harder to hit, and creating a larger target to pass. As a roller derby player, I do have a few parts of the sport I would love to see implemented into Roller Champions. So long as you don’t lose possession, you’ve got a chance to pull out a clutch final goal. If you’re losing, but have the ball, you’re given up to three minutes of extra time. If all else fails, make sure the ball is in your team’s possession when time runs out. ![]() ![]() By sharing info, less time is spent checking, and everyone is better informed. You need to communicate where other skaters are on track, each player’s current objective, and who is free to take the ball if needed. High-level play relies on proper communication and delegation of roles within the team. I played a lot of the Roller Champions demo with strangers, but when you play as a team it’s a totally different game. If you have the option, play Roller Champions with people who you know and can voice chat with. Failing that, you can skate clockwise, pause ahead of the jammer, and start skating anticlockwise as they approach to end up just behind them. Remember, you’re faster than the jammer them if you stay in their slipstream. Your window to hit them is so slight, you’ll rarely pull it off. If the other team’s skaters can easily see you coming, it’s far easier for them to dodge you. While the main reason is that you’d probably do a lot of permanent damage to both skaters, there’s also the fact that it just doesn’t really work. Instigating a head-on collision isn’t permitted in roller derby for a few reasons. If your team doesn’t have possession and is focused on regaining the ball, the biggest mistake I see Roller Champions players make is trying to instigate a head-on collision. Doing the not so glamorous jobs is what wins teams games. Roller derby is a team sport, and you win or lose based on how well supported your point scorer is. Roller Champions rewards you more for team victories than it does individual ones, and that’s with good reason. 25 Images Get behind the jammer slightly and become a body in the way which has to be tackled to reach the jammer, or hang back, watching out for players coming in to attack your jammer, tackling them before they can steal the ball. ![]()
