“Assist marks.”
☆ NintendObs Weekly – Monday, June 12, 2017 – Sunday, June 18, 2017.
While we were researching multiplayer battles, we discovered a small mark we hadn’t seen before. Our theory is that this mark is displayed when multiple players cooperate to take down a single opponent. We’re calling it an “assist mark” for the time being.
