This is going to be a weird post. I decided I was going to take on a challenge to beat every SNES game released in the US, knowing this will be a several-year endeavor, most likely. I've decided on RNG to pick games, and so far it's given me two very awful games, Super Soccer and International Tennis Tour. I'm terrible at sports games, too, but these games are incredibly bad. Super Soccer, as awful as it was, at least functioned, and with a great deal of stubbornness, I did manage to beat the game. International Tennis Tour is so broken on a fundamental level that I can't even decide if the game is beatable. The AI has difficulty even getting the ball over the net during serves, and the game's code for determining faults is barely there at all. I watched an AI net-ball on a serve for FOUR SOLID MINUTES before they finally earned a fault. To compensate, once you reach higher levels in a tournament (3rd AI onward), the AI moves much faster than you can and will never miss a ball. I'm also fairly sure there are button reading shenanigans going on to make sure it hits the ball to places you can't reach with your stubby human legs. The Y button, for all intents and purposes that I can see, seems to be an automatic "Give the other player a point" button, because you'll always knock the ball out with it. As an added bonus, it's the fast shot button, which means your primary means of throwing an opponent off balance just... doesn't work. Not that it matters, because the AI can instantly recover from dives and will be back in the center of the court before the ball even reaches you. Then there's the sticky issue of what constitutes even beating the game. There's a career mode, which is just a tournament each game week. Then there's also a tournament mode, and a doubles tournament mode. All the tournaments in the career mode seem functionally identical. Is doing a tournament enough (not that I'll ever win, the god-king AIs kick in for round 3 of 5)? I really have no idea here. Sports games are going to be a hard thing to determine whether or not I've "beaten." The worst god drat part is that there are no guides for this game, anywhere. No longplays. Nothing that might give me any sort of hint or insight whatsoever into any way to conquer this hell I've found myself in. It's almost like this game exists solely in my nightmares. I guess what I'm asking for is this: 1) What would you do when confronted with this scenario and needing to come up with a completion criteria for this game? 2) Does ANYONE know some sort of strategy for this game?

Rollersnake posted:Okay, then, how entertaining is your continued misery vs. just playing another game? Yeah, it's getting shelved for now. I rolled Family Dog before that. I'm incredulous that my day got worse after that. At least that game is easy and short to make up for how terrible it is.

univbee posted:You should probably have a look at The Mexican Runner's go-over of every NES game. I was just looking at that. I think "Winning tournament mode" is probably the best way to go about this. I have no idea what, if anything, triggers an "ending," since information on this game literally does not exist. Going to have to practice in my off time. I'm going to designate Thursdays as the days I revisit awful games that, for whatever reason, I need to shelf.

Notes: 1) I'd gotten up to make a sandwich, to see if it would be done netballing by the time I got back. It wasn't. 2) I turned on song request because there's no music in matches. 3) I was really, really not happy. Also I just noticed the game info is wrong
