I lost but now I'm having exciting rallies, using charge better, and not always being on my back foot. Finally clicking with a character is a great feeling eh? I'm still flying high with Luigi. As long as I pass v defensive characters most of my matches are fun. I also changed my mindset when playing against people who clearly out class me. Instead of getting hung up on losing I focus on what they're doing to me so I can try it out myself in the next match.

Thanks for the recommendations! I am really enjoying the mindgames that racket damage can create. Just played a Chain Chomp who was thousands of points higher than me, and I don't know if it was arrogance or what, but in game 1, my serve, I was already down 0-30 but had full energy so I special shotted them and broke their racket. I thought, OK at least I might be able to get a few free points off this or at least make them burn more energy. Then I was down 15-40 and had full energy again, so I special shotted again... and the Chomp broke their racket and KO'ed. In a game one that they were ahead

I love how shocked the crowd gets when you break a racket.

I love KO'ing the other player. It's such an awesome feeling. Especially when they risked their last health bar on the racket unnecessarily and broke.

So I managed to use a trick shot to block a special shot without the racket breaking. Granted I still lost the match, but I felt pretty awsome doing that.

Is there certain players who’s full meter special shot pushes you back more than others? I was playing a Luigi and even when I blocked it it sent me back super far but some other peoples didn’t. Also I played a toadette with like 20k points and they drop shotted me every time and it was infuriating.

btw if you have time to charge up against a drop shot, I believe top spin is the best shot to use as far as like what returns the best shot (I mean don't do anything 100% of the time but you know what I'm saying)

Am I still the only one that constantly runs into people blatantly cheating? 50% of the time I end up matched up against someone that's doing poo poo like returning every single shot with a special.

Koopa Troopa seems pretty good, I think his drop shot charges like twice as fast as everyone else's or something, you get the dead stop drop shots very fast

Anyone else feel like trick shots should literally never reward the other player with energy? Either you are way out of position, which shouldn’t be rewarded no matter how early you press to do a trick shot, or you are in position but taking advantage of the trickshot mechanic to gain energy and have a really good shot, which is just OP in combination.

I agree. I think balancing of how much charge shots and the special shot give to meter could maybe also help. I.E. lower the amount it fills the meter. Make it take a bit longer to earn a full meter.

I assume the function it's supposed to fulfill is like a coinflip in fighting games. Since you can't cover the whole court at once (unless you're Bowser Jr.) the trick shot is supposed to be a hard read, that is, you're claiming that you know where your opponent will aim before they actually hit it. The energy boost is supposed to balance the fact that if you're wrong, you lose the point. As long as the timing actually works out like that I am OK with it Edit: Also who is the high-ranking NA player that did some streams with Peach, someone mentioned them in the Switch thread, was it one of the people posted before

JackDarko is gonna get mad I didn't text him this but I've figured out how to mostly block Zone and Power shots. If you look at the ball, it has a shadow with a glowing ring underneath it. If you wait until you are mostly in that ring to hit, you will almost always block it with no damage to your racket. I'm still missing on occasion but I'd say I probably block at least 80% of the time now.

I can't help but feel a little bad, but he did this to himself (I could only record the last 30 seconds of a rally that went on like this for a while while I laughed) https://twitter.com/JadeMageSwitch/status/1013269471291588612

I guess I'm bad enough to be impressed that he was able to keep getting the ball back after those trick shot lobs, I usually get put away after one be ause I keep on doing that before I notice that I have zero energy and they are at max

What's the consensus on Koopa Troopa so far? Bowser isn't really doing it for me anymore so I'm trying out the rest of the roster.

Almost beat a mildly incompetent Jr. That they never break form is an ace in the hole for sure. I think Daisy's my girl. A bit weaker than the Mario Bros, but I love her jaunty victory skip.

I think Koopa Troopa has the potential to be really strong in the right hands. He's probably the fastest member of the cast, feeling faster than even Yoshi and Toad. However, his speed comes at the cost of control since there is a floatiness that you probably need to get used to or you overshoot and put yourself off form. However, his insane speed is probably going to be really good at keeping yourself on form as you can easily move to star shots or where the ball is going and hit it back, especially if you decide to use drop shots. That in tandem with his really strong drop shot could lead him to playing a game where he just stays on form and smashes star shot after star shot back, eventually using a fully charged topspin or slice shot to knock the opponent back and then follow up with a quick dropshot. He's fun, but not easy and I feel like in the right hands, he can be a little monster.

I decided to stop passing against def characters. After losing 3 of 3 games against people who were bad at this game I'm going back to passing on those match ups. Defensive characters don't have any drawbacks as far as I can tell and are not fun to play against. It turns out as long as you can return a ball from anywhere on the court the rest of your skill set barely matters. Also, since yesterday evening my connection to the game has been bad. I have to skip several matches until I find a good connection, which usually is a Waluigi or Jr, thus my willingness to play against them again. Is anyone else having very bad connections? Three games that started as 5 bar connections turned into laggy poo poo shows as soon as the matches started. Wildtortilla fucked around with this message at 17:02 on Jul 1, 2018 |

Quick tip I got a lot better since I have started like automatically using zone speed if I see someone get a full charge off. Just realize that like if they are able to get a full charge, you already hosed up and to do damage control you do have to use just a little bit of zone speed. Use the least you can to determine where the ball is going and get to it and that will also make sure you do the right type of shot to return it so you don't get knocked back a huge amount, or you can do a trick shot if you want to not give them a star. By doing this you can avoid getting snowballed on where they just keep knocking you out of form over and over and building up huge meter, which is an advantage that can translate into multiple points. If you have enough meter you can also get your own max charge off, and start putting them on the back foot instead if they don't counter with their own meter (a lot of people won't)

There have to be other people only just starting to play online (I was on vacation last week). I appreciate the game's faith in me but I feel like it shouldn't be matching me with people with thousands of tournament points when I have like 40 and a 20% win rate. I guess I can learn through losing a lot to start off.Evil Eagle posted:Koopa Troopa is my new main until Paratroopa shows up. That's pretty much where I stand as well.
