22. 8 YEAR OLD JACK & MIKE, 39
MEET THE GAMERS
With a full time job and family, Mike is always busy.
With the little time he does have, Mike wants to be
with his son having fun. Jack enjoys spending time
with friends playing games. Dad used to love games
like Windjammers and FIFA and wants to play a quick
game with his son everyday. Jack loves that he can
ace the game and teach Dad how to play better.
13 YEAR OLD TYLER
Tyler is in middle school, but as a gamer he
spends his free time playing games with
friends. Many hours are usually spent
grinding for great rewards. He likes to play
sports in real life but craves a bit more than
real games, SMASH BALL offers him the action,
competition and progression he craves.
25 YEAR OLD LUCY
Lucy spends a lot of time hanging out with
friends. They all love to play games
together. Lucy likes to play games that
are easy to pick up and they usually play
at parties.

23. MARKET SEGMENT
Streaming platforms like Stadia, Gamepass, etc.
would be perfectly suited for the short match
times and multiplayer aspects of the game.
Easy to access, short length tournaments.
Large base of sports and fighting game
influencers are more likely to want to promote
and play similar games.
Switch install base has surpassed 20 million
units, and SMASH BALL is well-suited to the
consoles control scheme.
The large variety of Mechs suggests the
potential to further monetize unlockable
content.
Playstation is the most popular platform for
Rocket League (39% of gameplay), suggesting it
is also a good fit for SMASH BALL.
Tried and true gameplay—table tennis/pong—
turned on its head with arcade mechanics.
Deeply replayable gameplay designed to cater to
three key motivators: social (competitive and
team-based gameplay), action (fast-paced,
frenetic gameplay focused on movement and
destruction) and achievement (winning to unlock
rewards and increase power levels).
Art style/aesthetic is approachable and
endearing; deep customization options allow
players to personalize their appearance.
Game is well suited for user generated
tournaments, spectator involvement, real-world
competition & prizes.
Game design is decidedly skill-based, while
retaining enough unpredictable gameplay
moments to keep players surprised and engaged.
The segment of “arcade sports”—has huge
potential for future growth.
Over its 5 year life, Rocket League has had
over 75 million players worldwide, who have
played over 5 billion matches, scored
29 billion goals, and in 2020, hit a new record
of almost 500K concurrent players.
We believe that SMASH BALL, with its
approachable yet competitive gameplay and
welcoming aesthetic, paired with a
well-executed marketing strategy, fits
perfectly in this emerging category.
If Rocket League is soccer with cars,
SMASH BALL is ping pong with robots.
