In this game the mechs do wildly different things, so depending on the matchup and the stage, it creates unique scenarios that have to be played a certain way.
For example, the ball has a huge plasma cannon, and in one stage it's possible to hole yourself up in a small space up high and force the opponent to approach you. They have to bait the shot and then rush in, because if they get their timing wrong and eat the cannon, it will not only do lots of damage but push them out of your little tunnel and back across the stage.

And then there's the pilot mechanic. You can bail from a machine, and there's typically extra ones that are always present on the stage, so it creates a race for the player who's ejecting to get to it and start fighting back before the enemy anticipates them. Not only is it easy to kill the pilot, but an empty machine can be very easily destroyed as well.
However a pilot has a jetpack and can fly infinitely, so if the stage has a high outdoor ceiling a player with no mech can create a stalemate situation by flying back and forth where they're impossible to hit. The enemy has to shoot into the air hoping to hit them with a glancing projectile, which might be so frustrating that they get out of their own mech and chase you up there to resolve the match quicker. At which point it is actually possible to drop back down yourself and steal their mech.
