Had another Bowser Jr. stomp me 8 points in a row, I think I'm gonna start dodging him again. Followed it up with a fun match against a Spike with four breaks of serve. Then I won three straight points in the tiebreak and they ragequit

I don't get rage quits in this. Doesn't it still count as a loss for them? I still get the points and win so I'm assuming it does.

I've run into some people that just toss the ball over and over without ever serving instead of rage quitting. Which I guess is a valid strategy.

I was getting stomped by a koopa trooper abusing the gently caress out if trickshots. I scored no points until he was serving his match point. I made a comeback and beat him 2-1. Suck it, trickshots. Those things are one of the least fun mechanics I've ever had to deal with in MP games.

The game eventually disconnects you after 30 seconds if you don't serve the ball. Which I just had happen to me with another epic match. Held my serve relatively easily against a Boo, then Boo's service game was literally 20 points long with some of the rallies going to 40 shots, but they eventually held. When it came to my next service game I held in 4 points and then Boo timed out on their serve

Just got the game and was going ask how to deal with people who are good at trick shots, but judging by the last page trick shots seem to be problem. Also is there any way to practice returning zone shots and special shots nonstop? I can't get the timing down for either.

Adventure mode is great for learning to play, and multiple levels involve returning zone and special shots, though not non-stop. Heavily advise playing through it. Trick shots are currently OP, but switching up where you hit the ball and playing drop and lob shots can help negate people who trick shot too much.

I've been playing Simple mode and I keep getting wrecked by my own lob shots. Whenever an opponent has to run back and break form to return a lob it sends another lob back to my half of the court, but no matter how long I charge any of my shots I always return a wimpy little tap shot that travels at like five miles an hour and gets slammed back into my face. So what's the actual play I need to be doing here?

You're going to want to SMASH the gently caress out of it. Go back, position yourself well in the star and Flat Shot it (left button, purple trail). You'll generate a powerful overhand Smash that will fling the ball fast into the other side. Slicing or top-spinning will get you nothing special.

Just had a long, back-and-forth championship match online that I eventually won out in. Games like that are so satisfying and why I'm digging Aces so much. Daisy might be my new main??

She has the best taunt for sure. Peach's celebration is S-Tier though, especially when you spin in circles really fast every time you win a point.

Chain Chomp's celebration is amazing if you like spinning in circles, because it looks like he's chasing his tail. Yoshi, meanwhile, goes just as fast when he celebrates as when he's playing, which is great in its own right.

I think the situation he's describing doesn't result in a star landing marker, it's just a floaty ball with no spin trail And like OP I have the same probalo. My dude is at the net and should be able to just smash those away Pete Sampras style but for some reason he taps it back like an idiot

I think the top spin hit (the fire one) works best on these balls.

Is koopa troopas deal fast speed + obnoxious drop shot + full court trick shot coverage? Every troopa I play against is a trick shot machine. Also circling back to a mysterious meter loss discussion from yesterday, against the trick shotting koopa my meter was around 75%, I didn't use any powers or trick shots, and when I tried to use zone speed a few rallies later I had just a sliver of meter. I don't understand how this game works.

Oh my God there is no greater feeling than 2-0'ing someone who only knows how to use trick shots. It's like they legit can't play once you keep lobbing on them

The cone for backward trick shot doesn’t seem to reach for any character if they’re in the middle.

 I've been slicing it from the middle, but I just can't finish him off. Level 29 for gently caress's sake I think I need I'm not timing his zone shots properly, and misunderstanding when they are coming directly at me, or off to a side. Also, are you supposed to let go of zone timing before you strike? I don't and I think that's where i'm messing up. can't wait until Kamek  edit: Um, wow. My very next play after posting this, I just won

I've been playing Aces since launch and it's been a blast. I had a bunch of connection issues at first, but ever since the update last weekend I've been able to get some decent tourney matches with at least three bars. I mostly play on simple mode like a scrub. I really like playing as Chain Chomp, so that's who I main. Today I ended up in a mirror match against someone who played a mean game. We ended up pretty evenly matched. Looked like we were going to go into a tiebreaker. At that point the other player just stopped playing. Even went out of their way to get body shot'd by my serves. Turns out the player was only ranked slightly below me, but it was a real drag to see them just forfeit a game. Didn't feel like I earned the win. I've played less than 20 tourney games and this is the first time that's happened. I hope it doesn't become A Thing. Does anyone know if there's any guides out there about the stats between each character? I know they all are different, but it'd be cool to know in what ways.

Stefan Prodan posted:The problem is there are a lot of situations where you can position yourself such that like I dunno how but you can like be around the net and get both lobs and drop shots successfully by just holding back on the stick so there's like no way to actually get anything past them, or at least this is how it seemed to me against a couple people that pulled it off If I could level a criticism about how this isn’t “realistic” enough is this. It doesn’t punish a player for hanging out in “no mans land” on a court. In real tennis you’re usually punished for playing in that area. You either want to be pretty tight at the net to volley with a tight angle and push your opponent wide or just win. Or you want to be baseline bombing returns and moving your opponent wide.

Really? I was going to mention that once I started moving out of no man's land, I started getting better results. I realized that I was losing the charge battle because I wasn't far back enough to consistently get max charge on a bunch of shots

So you're actually being rewarded as you boost your meter with that play. I still like the ability to slow down time and rescue shots but its very very hard to lob someone if they know what they're doing in general.

I finally had a nice Simple tournament, even though there were two Waluigi's in it, which I managed to beat nonetheless. I got to the final against a Mario, hosed up my first game, but I managed to win the second break point. And then I choked. I don't know why but I keep losing the control of the ball and then flat shots down the line invariably get me. It's true Adventure mode prepares you for Standard. I think I've managed to better understand trick shotting, and it's absurd. I'm only on the Snow Orge (what's with that name?), and I keep losing time on the ice sections but I should beat it in a few other attempts. I think I'll try a standard tournament soon.

I have to admit this game has raised in my esteem since my initial disappointment. It's still a bit steep for what it is at 60 euro, but it really does play so well. It's incredibly satisfying all told. The big squid is proving a tad tough. I keep running out of time, despite not losing time on him, I don't quite know what I can be doing faster. I probably have to more successfully block his attacks.

gently caress trick shots. I'm adding koopa troopa to my list to avoid. Every match against troopa he covers the court with trick shots. It's just as, if not more, annoying as Waluigi or BJr.
