Mario Tennis Aces |OT| Where Waluigi Fans Get Served
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
That's super disappointing. Why can't we just have an ultra simplistic mode like the older games?
same as charging the other shots, you hold the right stick, but you have to know or guess where the ball is going to go
I have a complaint about the story mode:
I'm actually disappointed that you are forced to play the Peach/Daisy and Mario matches back to back after you lose. I beat Wario and Waluigi but got to Luigi and I lost. Then I tried starting it up and turns out the chapter has those two matches in there where you have to beat both in one sitting rather than beat one, take a break and then finish off in the next match. The matches are definitely fun, but its kind of a waste of time to force the player to beat both matches consecutively. Also any have any tips on Beating Luigi? Should I just load up meter and break his racket. How can I stop giving him zone shot opportunities while I'm trying to charge meter?
It's time for me to take a break fam.
I'm loving simple mode, but when I get up to the semi finals and have to wait 5 Minutes for a match... :(
standard mode is more popular, imagine if the character unlock is tied to standard play only lol
It's absolutely baffling that there's no quick retry option in the Story Mode. Some of these challenges are hard, and having to sit through the entire post-match results screen, mash through Toad's losing speech, restart, skip the trash talk from your opponent and wait for the stage to load before you can retry is ridiculous. It's 2018. This is a solved problem: "Would you like to retry? Yes/No". Nintendo, you're better than this.
I don't blame you, the game does a poor job of laying out your options.
In the 1.1.0 patch notes it says:
- Online play: We have made some adjustments so that players of similar skill are more likely to be matched together. (Outside of matches with friends)
probably lies, been playing since launch with 65% win rate
and got paired with someone with 50 points
Are there any actual cases of Camelot updating their games post-launch? I know of the DLC with Mario Golf on the 3DS, but...
I don't know, I get the impression that Nintendo only pays attention to the multi-player games that their main development teams are in charge of, the likes of Smash Bros. and Mario Kart. ARMS may not have been a runaway success, but it saw some pretty amazing support from Nintendo.
With Aces though... I just don't know if Camelot has the manpower (or funds) to keep this game in proper working order. Being a 2nd party developer to Nintendo, I imagine that the only way this game will be supported is if it sells a stupid amount of units, but so far word of mouth for this game is not great because of the weird omissions they've made.
Hoping for the best here, because they have an amazing foundation to work on. This game screams "diamond in the rough" for me.

Let's be fair, the balancing issues amount to trick shots being too generous with meter, and maybe the defensive characters having too much reach. The former is inextricably linked to the latter, so it's a small tweak that's needed really.
Then there is the mountain of salt that this game creates. Some players are simply too good and it's easier for us to say "...but, balance!"

Yeah i'd be fine with Trick Shots getting tweaked before characters. The risk/reward for them is way out of control.
That doesn't sound like a bad pairing. It's not lies, my sister gets easier games than me. I'm on 15k and I'm getting matched with 3k players who almost beat me. Must be going by win ratio.
Quite often when Blooper returns a shot that's going to bounce off the mast, a star appears on the ground where the ball will end up. If you're stood in the star, you can be sure the ball will bounce towards you.
Not talking about the new characters though. I meant other rewards like rackets and stuff. Because getting on top of the ranks just for being there isn't tempting. Like I'm top 100 in US and 200 something worldwide.
Holy shit this is bollocks! Now I know why I'm seeing lots of Daisy...
That, unfortunately, doesn't seem to be daisy specific. Just go into a match and pretty much mash up and down trickshots, it's super lenient on how much it autocorrects to snap you to the shot (and....build meter doing it).
Mashing up and down works even if the ball is on my sides?!
I've only had time to play a few matches of multiplayer since release since i'm almost done the Splatoon xpac.
I seriously thought Trick Shots COST meter and were for when you messed up your positioning.
If they build meter there's no reason to play a tournament online until they patch something

More as a response to their hit, but it's still honestly weirdly lenient in general. The backtrick can go really far to the left and right so it snaps to the ball pretty hard.
here's one where I was standing to hit a ball back but flicked back instead and despite the ball's position I built a bunch of meter.

Here's a video of a guy explaining it better. Literally can close his eyes and return the ball.
This is fucking lame. So any competitions between high level players are just going to be returning endless trick shots to each other. Trickshots shouldn't build meter, they should only USE meter. The leniency on them needs to come down as well.
Does anyone else think that the SP is frustrating and not really fun to play? I'm going to quit this and just play more online matches
Hey - it's lovely, I've played a fair bit of simple mode doubles, and we're going to work up the difficulty levels. We'll probably just end up playing a few games a week, just like with Mario Kart, so your mileage may vary if you want to go hardcore and expect lots of tournaments.
Trick shots really should use up as much meter as a zone shot and never refill it. Returning it a little bit of force is reward enough for good timing. The auto-aim of the thing is a bit ridiculous too. It's really hard to punish to someone for being on the far edge of the court as it is without them using it.
Slow-mo at least quickly robs you of meter and denies you zone shots and supers.

Yeah that fact that you can have somebody pinned into a corner, using all the correct shots, fully charged, ahead on meter, making them second guess where you're going to hit, then they get to trickshot and build a huge amount of meter and potentially special shot you is insane. Like a trickshot as a last ditch save is fine, but it should be draining meter and giving back a week shot if you have no meter (like it does) but not building it. Also it builds a hilariously big amount.
I don't think they will remove Trick Shot meter building entirely, because it's straight up taught in the Adventure mode, but I can see them just reducing the amount of meter a correct Trick Shot earns you, as well as making it more difficult to execute.
Watched a video that said you could cancel a charge input like a slice by simply pressing a new button like topspin... but wouldn't that just make it a drop shot? I might have my lob/dropshot timings wrong, they were a bit inconsistent on that one Chain-Chomp challenge.
There are so many mini games in the SP...why aren't they unlocked for challenge modes or mini game modes for 1-2 players? This is frustrating. I want to play them outside the SP .
Damn! Yeah I'm currently watching the exact video. Thanks mate
