Have you ever been in a Marvel Rivals match and seen the word "Ace" pop up? It can be a little confusing because it actually has two different meanings. In short, "Ace" can mean you're the top-performing player on your team, or it can mean that you've wiped out the entire enemy team by yourself.

It can be a little confusing, I remember the first time I saw "Ace" next to my name. I hadn't single-handedly wiped out the other team, so I was a bit confused. It turns out I was the "Team Ace," which is basically the game's way of saying I was the MVP of that match. It felt pretty good to be recognized for my contribution, even if I wasn't a one-person army.

The Two Meanings of Ace

Let's break down the two meanings of "Ace" so you know exactly what's going on in your next match.

• Team Ace: This is the most common meaning of "Ace" in Marvel Rivals. It means you are the top-performing player on your team. This is determined by a number of factors, including your kills, assists, and overall contribution to the team's success. You'll know you're the Team Ace if you see a special icon next to your name. It's a great way to see who is really pulling their weight in a match.
• Ace Kill: This is the more traditional meaning of "ace" in a shooting game. An Ace Kill is when a single player eliminates the entire enemy team. This is a much rarer and more impressive feat than being the Team Ace. I’ve only managed to pull this off once, and it was a complete accident! I was playing as Storm and managed to catch the entire enemy team in my ultimate. It was a glorious moment, and my teammates were hyping me up in the chat.

So, next time you see "Ace" in Marvel Rivals, you'll know exactly what it means. It's also worth noting that there are other terms in the game that can be a bit confusing, like "SVP." If you're not sure what that means, you can check out our article on what does SVP mean in Marvel Rivals?.
