Learn when to block and you'll go far. You need to play with friends, far more fun and tactics in those matches. Boo can be coped with by playing a bit closer to the net. The less time his ball travels, the less time it has to curve. Move a little closer whenever he serves and you'll wonder how you ever struggled in the first place. Also, I'm pretty sure you can tweak rules in local play.

Yep, it's the only Splatoon song I hope gets into Smash. It's so damn good!

Just had 9 amazing matches with Dazzybee. We both chose random and just went at it! Neither of us ever won 2 matches in a row. Nerve-wracking! Anyway, here's some of my favourite moments.

Some choice moments from the 4th bloke of the No-Pulp N-Europe Representation team.

A trio of highlights. @RedShell's in each one. So naturally, it's all his fault!

Yeah, I don't think we've got enough tonight. A shame. It was a valiant effort though.

Gotta go eat dinner, @Ike Thanks for the games!

Ooooh! I'm up for that! EDIT: Opened a room. @Ike, you in?

That was a riot! It's always nice to play with people who understand that I am not gonna do well when in a 1 on 1 fight. Cheap, opportunistic sneak attacks! That's how I roll. Thanks guys! If you get another 3 people for Non-Pulp, give me a shout.

In the middle of the square. He's very short.

Yay! No more bloody Moray Towers!

And now we fought 4 rollers. Now I like Theme set ups as much as anyone, but there's a time and a place. Still doesn't beat the Brella agents though.

Oh no, I got disconnected as well. Just a good opportunity to scrub and eat. EDIt: Nooooo! I got disconnected! Enjoy your 3-on-3 match! Darn you fairness...

Just gonna scrub stuff then jump back in

What's the point of 4 snipers!?

The next match wasn't even remotely close! I love sneaking into their half and ruining everything!

*Starts Team Match, gets immediately matched up with another No-Pulp Team* Seems about right. Snipers are annoying on Moray Towers. Felt good to nail that sucker by sneaking up behind them.

I'm gonna open a room then. Password is 4444. @Ike @RedShell, @VsPhoenix or @Vileplume2000 Come on down!

They put up with me, you'll be fine @Ike, @RedShell are you two free?

If there's one more No-Pulp person, We might be able to form a team between @RedShell, @Ike and Me. Come on, we're this close. Playing with randoms feels so unfulfilling compared to N-Europers.

Team All about them retro bits @Emerald Emblem Team Silky Smooth Stability @Glen-i - Saturday 3pm to Sunday 1am @Vileplume2000 Saturday 3-5pm @Ike @RedShell

Is that just you declaring your impeccable taste or you declaring yourself available for teaming up?

Have you played the GC and 3DS Mario Tennis games? Power shots being part of the single player is nothing new. It's not just Zone Shots though. It's about trying to force your opponent to waste their energy. If you use a Zone Shot and then the opponent reaches it with little to no problem, then you've wasted energy and you're vulnerable to a counter attack. Building up energy is not something that just happens over time. It's a reward for skillful play. Successfully pulling off Max Charge Shots, Early Trick Shots and Nice Serves all give you energy. You can't just Whack out a Zone Shot and expect to come off on top. You pile on the pressure, make the opponent waste their energy and hit them when they don't have the energy to Zone Speed back. I can understand being upset that it's basically a Fighting Game disguised as a tennis game. But the Tennis Game is still there if you want to play it. (Even if it's mostly multiplayer, but if you didn't get this for some Multiplayer matches, then I don't know what to say)

Well, each to their own, I suppose. I find Simple Mode a bit, well, simple. Especially after the crazy mind games I played in the demo.

Have you tried using Zone Speed to block Zone Shots? Makes it loads easier.
