Online: fill the room at START
Your flow for Play with Friends → ONLINE (updated 6 Nov): host a room, friends join with the code, empty seats just stay OPEN. When the host presses START, a "filling online players" screen fills every open seat, then the match begins. (For now the filled players are our online-style bots, the same as today's online game, to keep server costs low; real players can be switched on later from the dashboard.) Below: the whole flow, then 4 looks for the filling screen, then QUICK JOIN. Pick, add notes, COPY MY PICK, send it to me.
Host → START → filling → FIGHT
5 OPEN SEATS
1 · your room: friends in, open seats stay OPEN
2 · press START → filling online players
3 · all seats full (a few seconds)
4 · the match starts
Seats fill one by one
A full-screen version of the room: your team on the left, the other on the right. Open seats spin "FINDING…" and players pop in one by one with name, country and level, a bar on top counts 6 / 8. When full: a short "READY!" and the match starts.
VERSUS slide-in
A fighting-game VS screen: teams on each side, players slide in from the edges into their slots, a big VS in the middle with the fill count. Feels like a match is about to start.
5 / 8
Spinning globe
A big spinning globe with player cards floating in around it as they're "found", then everyone jumps into the match. Simple and playful; fits the ONLINE card's globe.
Arena preview + player dock
The next arena fills the screen (name on top) while a dock along the bottom fills with all 8 players. The wait doubles as a look at the map you're about to fight on.
QUICK JOIN (you liked D)
A big QUICK JOIN on the ONLINE card, no online counts. Tap it → "JOINING A ROOM…" → you land in someone's room as a guest → the host starts → the filling screen → fight. For now it always uses our online-style bot game (like today's online mode), so it costs nothing on the servers.
