I don't know what is pissing me off more this Blooper or the airship mast. The Blooper is the game giving you a competent opponent, but it would be nice if it was on a more neutral stage. I don't understand how my shots keep richocetting out of bounds off of the mast, but the squid can richocet off it no problem. Also his curve shot makes me mad.

Fuuuucckkk, at the very least I can feel myself getting better playing against Blooper. Just getting a better feel to play and my timing with Zone Shots have gotten better. It's just half the time he scores against me it feels like it's not my fault because I richocet out of bounds off of the mast.

I had one of the most ridiculous matchs as Toadette v Chain Chomp. The moment I shattered his last racket the game froze and there was a communication error. I'm assuming that's a rage quit. Hopefully that Switch didn't get destroyed!

Both the mushroom's height really works against them, but at least Toad is faster.

Whoever designed and okayed trick shots should never be involved in the creation of another game mechanic for as long as they live. Trick shots are going to be my breaking point that makes me never play this game again.  \Also the music that plays while matchmaking would not be out of place in Pokemon.

Fair enough. Maybe try joining them if you can't beat them? Trick shot your way to victory? I'm pretty sure the cheapness of the ability is a feature and not a bug. The developer imagined people flipping around the field returning balls before swatting them with ridiculous specials, it definitely makes sense given the visual appeal of the move.

I do and I'm real bad at it, but I don't know why. I press my right stick in a direction and I typically travel in a direction 90 deg to the direction I intended to go. I also have a lot of trouble with drop shots not triggering. I cannot make AB feel natural so I use down + x. Very often I never swing, as in the command doesn't register. Other times it turns into a lob. I up and down are not in the same ball park. If I didn't have other games to compare to I'd say my controllers are broken.

I have a similar issue with Drop Shots, but for me it's when I try and use the A+B command, holding Up or Down, both will result in a Lob, no matter when I hold the stick or anything.

I’m sticking with simple online until they balance poo poo. It just gets frustrating and unfun as I make my way to championships in standard with all the Bowser Jrs.

She has the blue shots of a tricky character, the speed of yoshi, the angles of hell and really and I mean really is good at catching people off guard. No one expects her to return so well. I would argue she is an all rounder in disguise.

Standard mode with trick shots turned off is basically the perfect t Mario Tennis game. Also the patch notes says there is character balancing but I see no such thing. Anidav fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Jul 8, 2018 |

Without Trick Shots it's pretty much the GBA game with the special moves. Those were fun to use and collect.

I've also noticed against certain opponents that the 5 bar connection will suddenly drop to 1 bar if they start losing, is there some sort of exploit with the switch to quickly cut and reconnect the internet? There was a Bowser I faced who had no super meter but every time I hit the ball the game froze showing him the direction of my ball, its almost as if he switched apps rapidly or something.

I notice this to and I'm not convinced if it's a legit thing that people are doing our if it's me noticing network hiccups only when they do not work in my favor.

Also, her trick shots kind of suck, which, if you're playing standard, is a factor in how good a character is. Also, her having next to no reach is really bad.

Yeah, Toadette is objectively worse than most characters. Doesn’t mean a good player won’t do well with her, but her stats still make her worse.

I am really starting to believe there is some sort of exploit to make the switch drop bars. The game just grinds to one bar suddenly when some people are losing, I tried to see if I could find it but it isn't anything in docks which makes me think people are walking away from their wifi in order to lag the game and predict shots easier. I mean I beat them sometimes but I really do believe some people are intentionally dropping bars on their switch when they are losing. I noticed you can do screenshot capture and record online so I wonder if you spam the share button in handheld mode it might stall the switch to a halt by hitting the screenshot button repeatedly or something. I ran into the same guy repeatedly and the game would free when I hit the ball and unfreeze when they hit the ball and it definetely looked like he was tampering with the connection somehow if it be by stalling the Switch OS or walking away from their wifi and back again.

This made it so they would consistently hit it down the line back at me, negating the mast from loving you up. Also save all energy for emergency power shots.

Yeah use flat shots down the line when you're on the outside and slices when you're closer to the center and that should avoid you hitting the post

It's really simple if you use BACK trick shots. Essentially when he hits the ball when it lands in your court just hit the right stick back, even when it's deflected you'll zone in out it automatically. Don't use trick shots if the Ball has no color streak, because it won't bounce back far at all, but then it should be easy enough to hit. I'd be careful with certain star points as well, but you'll figure it out fast enough. Seriously trick shot back and you'll be hitting pretty much everything and you'll learn what you won't be able to hit, which you can easily hit otherwise. Trick shots are broken as gently caress. It doesn't even matter where you attempt to return it.

I could never picture myself using trick shots on that level but I guess the ultimate joycon-smashing frustration of doing a lateral trick shot instead of a back when you're three shots away from beating the level would be enough to improve one's trick shot usage overall

I honestly can't laterally trick shot to save my life, but back trick shotting is super easy and it builds meter like nobodies business. If I ever missed it was because I trick shotted for a hit that went short, which is why if it hasn't got a streak just hit it. Even if it's diverted it's moving slow enough to catch with zone speed in the worst case scenario. Also, play simple mode a bit and learn positioning, it's really useful and you'll find you're never too far away from the ball when necessary.
