Sorry, guy.
Apologies if I missed it in the preceding pages but apparently there’s 5 different swing types, also left, also right, also late or early, that affect swing mode? We just got back from a trip on a plane where my 5yo and I played handheld but we are back now and loving swing mode and want to know what the nuance is, there...

If you haven't played through the full adventure mode yet it's a solid intro to all the mechanics and how they work/interact

Basically... git gud.

I just played my first 2 online matches and both were 4/5 bars and I got smoked. Is there even bad input delay in anything less than 5 bars? Felt like I had zero shot getting to the ball.

Adventure mode leveled characters do not carry their level to online, right?

New patch tomorrow 6/29 that adds in rankings or something based on wins. Probably more to the patch, too, but who knows.

I know I'm going to sound like an rear end, but if you're getting Service Aces as a Boo, that means your opponent doesn't know how to deal with a Boo.



Now for something more helpful, if you're having trouble putting someone away and winning the point, try mixing up the shot types you're using. For instance, you can lure them to the net with a drop shot, then launch a lovely over them, or if you've been using slices for most of the volley, use a flat shot to throw them off balance. With Boo, you basically have to be able to predict what their likely response is, and then hit your shot so as to counter it. Yes, your shots have an absurd curve to them, but if you let your opponent dictate the pace of play, that curve means nothing. A defensive character basically means that you lose unless they're really bad, and a well played speedy character just won't care about your curve and will chase the ball down anyways.

My biggest tip, as I said before, is to vary your shot types and to not be predictable.

Yep I’ve maybe played like 15 online games so far (all “simple” ) and lost every one until last night when I started winning every game after starting to get into rallies where you force your opponent to start running back and forth. Then after about 10 volleys you angle hard on a left or right drop shot, which sucks them in, then either lob or just hit hard and fast to the opposite corner of where you drop-shotted.

Oh yeah, how about...

I just got back from camping and played my first online tourney on simple and man it was me (Wario) vs Rosalina and some of the volleys we had were outstanding. I couldn’t even be mad at losing the last tiebreaker round.

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.
