Online Matches
Looking for a challenger but can't find any matches? Host a game then wait, while surfing the internet! You will get the best connection this way. The ping rating isn't accurate - try for under 100ms but even then you might find input lag - if so, say goodbye, gg, and try someone else. Oh and when you get a match, stop surfin the internet, make sure there is nothing sucking up your bandwidth (downloads/torrents/streaming videos etc)
Manual
There is a short guide to the game under "Help and Options"

Beat them in Endless Mode- you will meet them all until #66 (Rugal)
