Having more than just the stadium in tournament mode is a fantastic change. I’d get bored of playing online just because it was always that stage.

Everyone should be playing doubles tourney.

Yes, that is a racket break and a body shot at the same time. This was also a crazy 20 minute match.

It also ended on the double whammy of a KO on Match Point.

God this mode is good. When you get into a good game that isn't a steamroll, poo poo takes forever and goes into tiebreaker deuce quite often.

Playing Doubles with Waluigi as a partner has taught me that there's a guitar strum at the beginning of his special shot.

I've been having good success with Bowser in simple mode, mostly just getting a bearing for how the game works at its basics. At some point I'd like to make the jump to standard though! It seems like a lot of characters are balanced around their trick shots.

I prefer standard since it makes the game feel like a flashy fighting game.

I find with standard that there's always just one too many things I need to pay attention to at one time, whereas with simple mode it's just really fun, good tennis. Both are fine modes but I think I just need more practice with standard.

I can never find a match in simple mode so I do standard more often much to my disappointment.

I think I'd enjoy playing standard mode but my friends who play mario tennis prefer simple mode so that's what I'm working with.

Yeah standard mode is better but it's harder to pitcg to people if they've not played/bought the game themselves. Trying to explain how to use the power meter is weirdly difficult

First tournament back after not playing for months and won the tournament. I forgot how fun this game is. It's definitely a fighting game in all but name.

Looks like a lot of things have changed though. How do you get costumes? Is it just participating a lot or can you only get the one costume listed?

Also what's the current meta/tier list? Last time I played Bowser Jr. was still a menace.

They’re usually monthly tournament rewards if you get a certain amount of points in a month. I’m sure they’ll recycle the ones for months you missed or offer other ways to get them.

The tier list is a lot different, they nerfed the heck out of Boo and Bowser Jr. to where they're lower tier characters now.

This is the most recent one I could find:

Wow, I've been a Rosalina main since day one so this sucks but whatever. Character loyalty and whatnot. And I'm still winning tournaments (two more down while I climb the ranks).

Yeah I was maining Pauline until I saw this list, and while I still play her sometime, I switched to Peach since she's fairly similar to Pauline but I feel way more devastating with her. Peach is great.

Glad Daisy is still great. Though, I'd like them to make an alt costume for her. Just a simple tennis outfit with a visor instead of the crown.

Any way to practice trick shotting zone or special shots? I'm at ranks where it's happening to me now and I need to learn the timing for Luma so I can do it too.
