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?


Charge the net to negate his kick serves and slices

Yep net play is important, but be wary of lobs, on pretty much any surface but clay you should be able to catch them after the bounce. You can drop shot him effectively because Boo's gotta play deep to get the most of their curves (same with Bloopers, can't say for Rosalina), and since he's got less of a range on his dives it's easy to beat him.

Guess where this lollipop's going?
i know how to play against boo but my problem is that sometimes his slices just cause a split second of hesitancy

Lately my game has been having fun, competitive matches until I get to the Championship, where I get completely stomped.

Wow they really nerfed Waluigi, he has no offensive weapons and the reach reduction can really be felt during net play. I guess it's Daisy time.

Haven't played in awhile, is Blooper still the unlock or did he get cycled out?

My understanding is that it's per month, so he should be the unlock until September.

Yoshi is great and still really strong, because he can still be wherever he feels like, whenever he feels like being there.

Scroll, then. There are other posts than these.


Diddy is really cool. Strong but with not a lot of reach, and he can cover the court mostly with a trick shot like dks.

As a peach main, he feels really strong.

I'm guessing people were still passing on Bowser Jrs and Waluigis for that change that hides the next player if you cancel a match to be implemented.

Trash Boos are still the most fun to play against, because they don't know how to handle people actually being able to return their serves.

Yes, and the new mini-game starts either the 11th or 12th.

We have spent most of the weekend teetering at 3 players. Doubles is so fun in this game, just sucks that its such a pain to get people together for it and that playing with anything less than 4 is a horrible horrible time.

drat... yeah it's already 11 pm over here in Western Europe and I've still got loads of papers to correct. But if we can coordinate something in the future I'd be more than happy to even out numbers. With the little chat app the game really livens up too.

They have a new more cinematic camera angle for serving too. The randomized courts in tournaments, the shorter games (best of two not three) are all good changes and I'm really enjoying the doubles tournament. Content was sparse at launch but they have supported this game well I feel and I don't regret my purchase at all. Petey piranha even has special serving mechanics. I wish all the characters had more unique characteristics like that.

Trip Report: The Doubles Tournament is amazing, and should have been in the game at launch. Get in voice with a friend, and things become very easy, especially since I don't think most people have played Doubles.
