Loading into PHIGHTING! as your Roblox avatar, riding on a floating platform shape of your choice was one thing.

Helping your main win an in-universe tournament was an entire other. You took flight, weaving your way up to Sword Fights On The Heights, hearing the music change from its normal theme to Sword’s character theme, Call Of The Heights. You couldn’t contain an excited spin as it built up to the powerful crescendo- and you spotted Sword perched on the edge, the giant wings on his back spread mightily, ready to swoop down to Crossroads and start heading for where the tournament was taking place.

From the in-universe news article you had read, otherworldly beings supposedly called “Players” (aka, your fellow human Phighting players) were also taking a more active role in helping their chosen Phighter in the competition, so it wasn’t just Sword having an unfair advantage.
