I don’t know why I suddenly don’t get this game. In the demo, I played really well and had a 65% win rate. Now I’m sub 30% and can’t seem to win against even basic players that I can tell I’m much better than, technically. Sometimes I try to use a trick shot with the R stick and instead my character will try a charge shot without me hitting other buttons. What gives?

Wildtortilla posted:Am I the only one who presses buttons really hard when playing this game? I know I don't need to do it but I can't help it. Rosalina is able to move at normal speed while charging for a shot, so she can start charging for a shot while still far from it. Other characters can’t move or move much slower while charging for a shot. You have to switch up your shots more and make use of more drop/lob shot combos against good Rosalinas.

Anyone else feel like trick shots should literally never reward the other player with energy? Either you are way out of position, which shouldn’t be rewarded no matter how early you press to do a trick shot, or you are in position but taking advantage of the trickshot mechanic to gain energy and have a really good shot, which is just OP in combination.

I tend to alternate standard and simple. I love simple because it’s more or less the tennis game I wanted but I also enjoy standard, up until I get sick of 1) declining bowser jr and 2) the trick shot meta which is just unfun against a lot of opponents.

Wildtortilla posted:Is there a trick to reliably drop shotting when you're using zone time? There seems to be a 50/50 chance of me either hitting a drop shot or doing nothing. I can't figure out what the problem is and it's loving infuriating. Doing nothing as in not even swing or just a normal hit?

Wildtortilla posted:Yes. I do what I do to make a drop shot happen and I just keep running. I don't charge I don't swing, I just keep moving. I’ve had that happen to me a few times when attempting drop shots, but not specifically in zone time.

Wildtortilla posted:I'm trying it with both X and BA. Both are equally risky. I just lost two games in a row primarily to running passed shots that should have been a loving sure thing. I wish I understood if it's me or a semi-lovely control scheme for doing lobs and drop shots. It's probably some of both, but I haven't had this problem until literally this afternoon. It may also be lag. The game's been a laggy shitshow for me since the patch dropped. It's not unusual for me to pass on 5+ players before one of them has 3+ bars. Even if I agree to play someone with a good connection, I can't think of a single game of the ~10 I've played post patch that haven't devolved into freeze frame matches as the connection goes from 5 bars to 1 bar sporadically. That sucks, but sounds like connection issue is more on your end based on my experience since the patch. Definitely a drop in connection quality as you only get matched with similar ranked players, but much better than what you’re describing.

Yup. As said before, “trick shot” should only count as a desperation move that uses energy, and never gives you energy. Right now it has the benefit of farming energy and hits balls that are harder to return than most charged shots, all for flicking the stick at the general direction of the ball.

Electric Phantasm posted:Just got the game and was going ask how to deal with people who are good at trick shots, but judging by the last page trick shots seem to be problem. Adventure mode is great for learning to play, and multiple levels involve returning zone and special shots, though not non-stop. Heavily advise playing through it. Trick shots are currently OP, but switching up where you hit the ball and playing drop and lob shots can help negate people who trick shot too much.

Homestar Runner posted:I think the situation he's describing doesn't result in a star landing marker, it's just a floaty ball with no spin trail Could be that your character lets the ball get too low and has to just tap it over the net. I think the top spin hit (the fire one) works best on these balls.

soggybagel posted:If I could level a criticism about how this isn’t “realistic” enough is this. It doesn’t punish a player for hanging out in “no mans land” on a court. In real tennis you’re usually punished for playing in that area. You either want to be pretty tight at the net to volley with a tight angle and push your opponent wide or just win. Or you want to be baseline bombing returns and moving your opponent wide. For real. It bothers me so much how much no mans land play is rewarded, when in real life you’re gonna be so off form and disadvantaged sitting there.

Was struggling in the second game of the championship against a bowser. He lost connection suddenly, so thanks for the third tournament win. Sorry buddy.

Yeah, Toadette is objectively worse than most characters. Doesn’t mean a good player won’t do well with her, but her stats still make her worse.

eightysixed posted:Yeah, this is brutal. I'm totally stuck here as well. I wonder if doing Kamek is even worth it. In any event, if anyone has any pointers, that'd be great Against Kamek, I hit the ball down the line instead of cross court, and then would slide my character towards center court. This made it so they would consistently hit it down the line back at me, negating the mast from loving you up. Also save all energy for emergency power shots.

Let me know when they fix this game, cuz right now it is complete rear end. Every game is just trick shot spamming and alternating between drop shots and lob shots. There’s no tennis being played. Fake edit: please name thread Mario Tennis Aces: There’s no tennis being played

It’s pretty funny they felt the need to not allow body shotting on zone serves unless it bounces once. Didn’t realize that was a big enough issue (honestly, zone serve is kinda dumb anyways)

Deltron 3030 posted: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? 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
