VS Hedlok

VS Hedlok is a cooperative Versus mode in which two or three players collaborate to defeat an AI-controlled Hedlok.

Overview
The goal of VS Hedlok is to KO Hedlok, who has taken over the body of a random fighter, and inherited all of their abilities, in the allotted time of a usual round. Hedlok will behave like a standard computer-controlled opponent, attacking players with its six randomly-selected ARMS and moving as usual. Hedlok's health is equal to the sum of the health of all the players fighting him (e.g. if there are three players fighting Hedlok, it will have 3000 HP). Hedlok will win by KOing all the players as usual, but if the timer runs out, Hedlok will also win by default. Items will affect Hedlok and players as usual. In Party Match, Hedlok's AI skill level will be adjusted according to the approximate skill level of the players fighting him, based on their performance in their previous matches.

At AI difficulty levels 5 and above, Hedlok will take half as much damage from all incoming punches and cannot be knocked down.

In the 5th Party Crash, a level 8 Hedlok can be fought. It has perma-charged ARMS, immunity to flinching, a fast charging rush gauge, and can combo a grab into a rush for massive damage.
