Unless you have problems on your end yes, the online feels smooth as butter compared to the demo

Mario Tennis Aces |OT| Where Waluigi Fans Get Served

Yeah. There is no balance whatsoever.
Mario and Luigi are completely useless for example.
I love MK8, but the single player is just playing the courses. I'd hardly call it meaty.
So is it true that this game is only worth it if you plan to play online a lot? Even then, the code isn't great?
The netcode has been great for me, and if I am matched with a low connection or troubled connection, the game notices and doesn't approve the match.
Balance discussions are premature... but whatever.
Speedy characters can get in position faster and thus charge for longer. While the shots they make aren't as powerful, maybe they can gain meter easier?
Someone did measurements on character speed.

He also did some measurements on reach.

I expect atleast one patch. The game is going to sell far better than any Mario Tennis in awhile, and Nintendo's been pretty good at supporting their games post-launch.
There's a lot of little things that can and should be updated. A course selection. Allowing the mini games in swing mode to be played in other modes. Course length (especially for offline play).
The menus and UI are the worst I've ever seen. They could have easily made the game feel fuller with a few option tweaks. They could have made the game feel more significant with some simple unlocks/costumes.
I doubt all the issues will be patched out, but I think at the very least some of them will be.
I also hate that it's much much harder to track & anticipate the movement of non humanoid characters.
Makes boo and chomp chomp even more overpowered. In FIFA and NBA 2K Im ok with better and worse teams (Real, Warriors) because realism.
In a casual Mario game I expect a level playing field.
I don't even understand how you get enjoyment out of it. Mario Kart must have one of the worst sp modes
this is the most i can find for what "technical" actually means

Character Type:
Powerful: Their shots are fast.
Speedy: Their run speed is fast.
Technical: They can easily target the far corners of a court.
Tricky: Their slice bends a lot.
Defensive: They can cover a wide area.
All-Around: They have very balanced stats.
From the game itself. TheMoon feel free to place in the OP.
Agreed, it's one of the weakest Mario Karts as far as single player is concerned. Really disappointing because they could have easily made an interesting single player campaign out of all those tracks.
at top levels building meter is really important, he has a long reach so he can start charging shots earlier to get more meter
also all three of his shots are almost equal in strength so he has a lot of good options to counter and deny star shots for the opponent as opposed to, say, chain chomp where his slice basically just goes straight and very slow
Now i understand gamexplain's review when they said the story mode AI can get abruptly difficult.
I had to KO blooper because it was easier than trying to outlast his bullshit. Not to mention the mast in the airship stage constantly ruining my shots.
Also im mad that you dont get rewarded with character unlocks. ALL these characters have finished tennis animations and are on the cart. I have to wait like 2 months just to use Kamek.

Just let them score if you're not going to lose on that point, otherwise you're letting them build meter and win the rest of the match lol
I don't really play anything online. Probably because I'm old.
I think even if you use the proper counter that, if you don't charge, you'll still get pushed back yeah? Maybe notCounter with the correct shot.
LJust won my first tournament as Waluigi. I hated Being rage-quitted into the finals, but I won.
1,800 in the world in simple play.
Also this. Unfortunately this is the only way to get consistent competitive play online. Solo mode is unfortunately noobie central and I crush my opponents 99% of the time

Do you unlock anything for beating the game's CPU tournaments? Also, are there any costumes right now besides Mario's costume from the pre-launch tournament?
All you unlock for beating the CPU tournaments are the different cups so once you beat Mushroom, you unlock Flower, then once you beat Flower you unlock Star. And this is apparently on a per-character basis. Otherwise, you don't unlock anything substantial from it (not even Star characters). There's currently only the classic Mario costume from the pre-launch tournament.
The only unlocks this game has atm are the Story Mode courts from Story Mode by playing through it.
Or like any mechanically-deep sports game, which it actually is.
I'm missing star shots in simple mode because I can't switch flat and slice buttons, this doesn't make sense aaaaargh.
Yeah, it sucks when they do that. But a bigger issue is that Nintendo allows this. Why would you show a player their opponent and give them the option to quit without penalty?
Hmm. That's...disappointing. I would have really liked if each tournament unlocked a costume or color swap for each character (especially if trophies/tournament unlocks are done per-character). As is, I'm not sure I have a reason to play them, and I'm guessing all costume additions will be linked to the online tournaments. I guess I'll look into it more and see if you can at least play it in local co-op, which is a worthwhile experience for me.
Thanks for the info. I'll focus on Adventure Mode.
Winning after being 0-5 in the tiebreak against a chomp is amazing, just have to pull the game open with topspin.
