Yeah they need Grand Slam rules, matches that last for hours. Add the rule about no fifth set tiebreak too

But you still only get two rackets.

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

It's not so bad, the worst I had was Boo rally, but once I figured how to Trick shot to victory no match had more than 3 retries, the obligatory story matches I'd pretty much beat on the first try.

Luigi, only because they make you do the first doubles match first which anyone could do with their eyes closed.

First tournament after the patch and I made it all the way to the championships with Peach. Only my second time ever.

Couldn't seal the deal, though. I hadn't faced a human Luigi before and it went... poorly

Real glad I snuck in tournament wins at the end of July in both modes because I am so bad with post nerf waluigi :gonk: can't decide if I power through and try to learn his new limitations or try someone else out.

Sorry, guy.
Wow the single player of this game can super suck my dick. I don’t play a ton but I’ve been stuck bashing my head against Blooper and his cheap mast shot bullshit. One time he served off the mast and the ball sailed at me and I swung at it naturally and I lost a point because the ball must bounce first. Dude, come the gently caress on. It was a serve!! They never go out of bounds behind you, so naturally my instinct is going to have me swing at it.

The campaign is so righteously unfun.

Because you have to try twice as hard as Toadette so your skills develop faster due to using underpowered mushroom people.

Toadette can now dunk people even harder. Good.

Blooper nearly broke me but once I decided to try and break his rackets for a ko it wasn't too bad. Make sure you're getting enough charge in your shots and don't necessarily aim right at him for the zone shots 'cause he'll just move out of the way but aim near him so he tries for it and breaks/goes too early.

Edit: I also avoided hitting cross court to avoid the mast when possible.

Alternatively drop shot to the win.

Fully charged drop shots in this game by certain characters is very broken. Koopa Trooper especially has a bullshit drop shot.

What does fully charging a drop shot do? I haven’t even thought of doing that.

For some characters it will literally not bounce at all. Possibly anecdotal but I also get a lot of clipping the net when it's fully charged

FC Drop Shot causes ball to drop like a rock and Koopa's gimmick is that he is the fastest character with the best drop shot in the game.

Very cheap way to win online though.

This is a good dumb game. It's stressful and fun.

I got to the semi-finals, something I don't do often, playing for the first time with Blooper. Weird guy with a strong top-spin. Not someone I'm going to stick with. I had a strong first game where we battle for the server's game point against a Mario in that semi, I eventually lost and he clowned me to get his Break point match point. I love how you can do something so well for a bit and then it all falls apart. I suppose it captures real tennis in that way.

Is Bowser's trick shot especially bad, or am I just bad at using them? I can never tell where the ball is going in time to commit to a trick shot. This isn't a balance complaint since he seems to make up for it in offense.

Did the August patch add ranked matchmaking on top of the tournament? I played a good bit during the preview and early July and never won even a Semifinal, but just got 2 tournament wins yesterday (against players who weren't that great).

Got to simple semifinals for the first time, only to be completely destroyed by Boo. How the gently caress do I even begin to deal with his shots?
