*a foul hooting fills the air*



I started playing simple and it such a better experience. If you are burning out because magic super powers are ruining your tennis experience, it is right there.

I’ve been enjoying simple too but I’m jumping back into standard after that patch drops.

I personally hate simple, because I went into the game expecting and hoping for magical super power tennis bullshit and got what I wanted.

Simple mode still has Waluigi and people who exploit Boo's teleporting lunge shot animations.

Boo's lunge is actually hot trash, since it causes him to have no reach otherwise, which means a lot of broken form returns, which are extremely easy to punish.

You can cancel the animation with L and normal shot it.

Patch is up.

Have only screwed around for a few minutes so far (obviously) but trick shots feel noticeably both harder to nail and much narrower in range, so I'm a garbage player all over again :v:

This patch is very good. I’m not sure it fixed everything but it seems like it after getting a tournament win even facing people still playing Bowser Jr.

Not easily no! You have to create a doubles lobby and hope he can get in before it fills with randoms. Then the teams are randomly assigned every match! :yeah:

Unless your friend is local, then it's very easy, you just make a lobby and then play tennis against other people online. There's no matchmaking at all though

It's a bit strange that they give you like 10 seconds to cancel a tournament match once you see the player and their character. Couldn't you just bail every time you see you are up against a strong character?

On a related note, gently caress you Waluigi! (Editor's note: I also play as Waluigi)

It’s great cuz 1) you can bail when you see how bad connection is and 2) you could bail on B Jr when he was super OP and obnoxious

Yeah I cracked the top 400 US ranking recently, around high 2900s rating, so I think I’ve been doing pretty good. Then I match with the world #3.... it was like playing a totally different game. I managed one point at least but yikes...

Alright, so what's the secret to beating the final boss, Luigi? I can only get a few points. His zone shots are ridiculous, and he blocks most of mine. What am I missing? :suicide:

It appears my rating is in a terrible spot where it’s just high enough to match with people significantly higher than me. Just went 1-7 only making it out of the starting round once and yet gaining 7 rating points. I know I need to play better players to improve but it sure would be nice to win a few games along the way.

Learn to block his zone shots and redirect them to the side of the court he is not on. It is a guaranteed point from my experience, but only if you get a successful block.

Save your meter for Zone Time, then bait him to use a zone shot on one end of the court, and when he does his Zone Shot hit the ball when you are in the glowing area surrounding the ball.

Although it's hosed up they take away your option to tap into the Satsui no Hado by giving him an unbreakable racket. That was my winning strategy up to that point.

After a bad losing streak, I decided to try out Peach. Reeled off 3 wins and made it to the championship! For the championship I was paired with a toadette, but the player's name sounded familiar to me, I recalled him as being a pretty good player. I dodged them and went on to beat a Waluigi who was pretty good but kept wasting tons of energy chasing balls that were deep in his court for my 3rd tournament win of the season! Out of curiosity I went back and looked up the toadette I dodged.

It was TSC*Dragon - #2 player in the US. Sometimes it's good to be a coward!

Toadette is secretly good. Has a very strong underdog effect.

Yeah she seems like she could be good in the hands of a skilled player. Great angles, but weak power. Only problem is that Peach is like a better Toadette overall so there’s not much reason to use her full time.

Big patch is dropping 8/1 and by using Google translate, it sounds like a lot of characters are getting buffs while Waluigi and Bowser Jr. are getting nerfed. They’re also making it so you can do quick retries in adventure mode and aren’t just kicked to the world map when you fail.

Camelot deserves a lot of credit for basically fixing just about every issue I had with the game.

While I'm super pleased this is getting post-release support, the lack of a retry button in story mode at release is loving incomprehensible.

I beat story mode without the retry button. It was hell. HELL!

Anyway, my glaring weakness is still drop shots and I got completely owned by a guy playing DK who mercilessly exploited said weakness. I held my own for a while but sometimes Waluigi doesn’t loving hit the ball when it’s that low to the ground unless I mash the button and that’s annoying!
