Mario Tennis Aces |OT| Where Waluigi Fans Get Served
- Thread starter TheMoon
- Start date
now that is super dumb, just throw in the old ones as well
Going back to the Yoshi well would be such a bummer when we could have Chain Chomp visors, Shy Guy colors, Luma colors...could easily have Red Koopa and Green Paratroopa too!
That said I'll take more Yoshi colors over more Boo Visors
Is there, like, any resources that has data on how the characters differ from one another. At the start of the game's release there was a lot of research done on specific shots, their angles and so forth but that sorta disappeared and also i guess never updated??
I know the community for this is pretty small but it's surprising to me there's no hard data that I can find.

I dont know whats publicly available but your best bet is joining the discord. They have the info tucked away there somewhere
It's been so long since I've played Mario Tennis 64 that I didn't put 2 and 2 together that the new Toad costume was directly from that game. It looks nice, and I managed to get it rather quickly. Won both a Standard and a Simple tournament. Then, I proceeded to get pounded to dust by an excellent Luma!
Have you already gotten the three new ones and can confirm they are all different? Not sure if I wanna bother to get all three. The black one you get first is definitely new. The other two look identical to two of the old ones to me, though.
checking the mario wiki, the 3 colors before were Blue, Green, Purple and the 3 now are Black, Black with Purple Brim and Blue with Yellow Bri
Alright, thanks! They looked green and purple enough to me haha Guess I'll get them as well then
Yeah, i've gotten the three new costumes. They are all different (the last two are a mix of different colors, which is why they might look similar to you).
God damn it, they still didn't fix the communication error issue
Boo Hunt clearly check points you, but you only get the coins if the full 3 rounds finishes (or you fail, obviously). With the ring shot challenge, that was annoying but it's a much quicker experience.
But it totally ruins the Boo challenge. My squad had a great run, we already had at least 1100 in the bank and were on our way to finishing the third set but oops! Communication error! So we got nothing but wasted time.

It takes a bit but I eventually get matched.
It's a shame the game doesn't have a better structure and content. Both online and offline. This drip feed model doesn't work. Costumes and characters should have been unlockable rewards from the start by actually doing stuff
I've just had some amazing games online. The gameplay is just great, leading to tense tight rallies and matches.
Btw. Boom boom's animation is spectacular.
So the boo mode became a new swing mode upon ending.
Did the yoshi mode get Incorporated anywhere?
This game's content is so bizarre. Free play options still a confusing mess
I came back after a couple of months and see good changes. The ranking and tournament systems are good now
The higher your rating, the harder it is to find matches. That's why you always see people in the Top 10 have insane win rates and under 10 tourney wins because A/A+ players can't find matches in the finals so they just reset the tourney each time.
I'm B and I can still find matches pretty fast, but yeah they should at least do away with skipping the first round if you have over 2,500 rating. They are short enough, everyone should just start from the first game.
I also think they should just do 1v1 matchmaking like a typical fighting game would have at this point that can still track rating and W/L for leaderboards.

Boo mode is so bad and boring and tedious.
It seems like there's more players online than normal, though, so that's good. Tournament mode is as good as it always is. Boom Boom is kinda weird, not a fan of his awkward moving left and right crab style, even if it's unique.

Not the best but this is with chrome translation:
Proper English notes should be out tomorrow, though.
Based on that translation, looks like the next event is Shy Guy themed and the tournament costume is the Chain Chomp hat that was revealed ages ago
Guess I need to do my once a month 1-2 hour binge of Aces to get costumes and then not play again hehe

Kamek and Dry Bones are coming in April/May. These are the final two character from the story mode that aren't playable.
Unless they have a July character or two in June, looks like it's a deathmatch between Baby Mario or Dry Bowser for the final slot. Or they could pull a surprise character out and forget those two.

Wasn't the Baby Mario listing fake? I know the Dry Bowser one is real, at least, but I thought Baby Mario was confirmed fake recent-ish.
Bummed that the Shy Guy minigame is in swing mode again. I get wanting to add value to the mode but swing mode just kind of sucks.
Add the Yoshi Ring game to the normal menu, cowards

Just finished unlocking all of the new stuff for this month (Pauline, the three Chain Chomp alts and the three Shy Guy alts). I'm honestly really happy that we're getting some decent post-release support for this game. Beyond the remaining few characters and a couple alt costumes i'm still waiting for, all I really want to see from the game by June is:
I'm sure we'll get Ring Shot offline eventually; wonder why it hasn't happened yet though.
- Proper Game and Set customisation: i'm confident we'll see it happen eventually. Maybe in the May Update (which we know is coming).
- More Courts to choose from: i'm definitely losing hope in this one, though the fact that one pre-release trailer showed one of the Adventure Mode boss arenas in a regular match gives me some hope that it'll happen eventually.
- Offline Co-op Challenges: this is also something i'm expecting. We already have Boo Hunt available, but i'm sure we'll eventually get Yoshi's Ring Shot and the new Shy Guy game (plus any other potential challenges we'll see before the new content support ends, maybe one using the Panel stuff from Adventure Mode as a base?)
I was a little disappointed that we got another Swing Mode challenge, but after playing it a bunch to grind for the Shy Guy alts, it is pretty fun. I do wish that each of the challenges were available in BOTH regular and swing modes (and that includes the big ball and rally challenges that were already in Swing Mode at launch).
I'm sure we'll get Ring Shot offline eventually; wonder why it hasn't happened yet though.
I picked this up last night, and I just have a quick question: can I use up and down to lob/dropshot a topspin, slice, or flat shot?
I don't understand how the inside of the pyramid is a 100% fully playable court in single player, but you can't select it in multiplayer...
Every court has a version of itself used for singleplayer stuff and it's insane none of them are playable. Like do they think that just because they dont have a gimmick, people wouldn't play on them?
Yeah, it really does confuse me. I guess the reason might be the lack of hazards, but i'm sure most people play with hazards-off anyway, and visual variety is more important regardless.
They had to have planned for those courts to be playable at some point, since they featured Ancient Alter in one of the trailers
but i'm just wondering why they haven't just let us use them yet. Maybe they're saving it for a "big addition" for the final update of the game or something? Who really knows. Every location has at least one unique map from Adventure Mode they could use, and some even have two; so they should really get around to letting us use these courts.
Too bad Pauline (or PAULINE according to the game) is pretty weak. Her shot and volley speed is abysmal which makes it really hard to score as her. The one thing I did notice was she did have pretty good angles with her flat shots which is weird but besides this she definitely needs some buffs to be worthwhile.
Camelot as a whole is awful at character balance initially. They are either so horrifically OP (Boom Boom) or flat out bad (Pauline). It sucks we have to wait for a monthly patch before they are either nerfed or viable, and even then they might be nerfed so hard they become unusable like Bowser Jr. I haven't tried Boom Boom yet but people are saying he went from OP to awful in one patch. lol

Yeah, what's with "PAULINE"? Quality control, please. I'm nervous to imagine they patch in the last DLC character and just leave them as all-caps, because "whoops". I was almost afraid it's some weird brand thing where Nintendo has mandated that PAULINE is an all-caps name or something.
The funny thing about it is that it only seems to affect the English versions of the game. In languages where the name 'Pauline' is still used, the name is written out properly.
Based on the CSS placeholder slot, we might have to wait until May for them to fix it.
It must depend on where you live, I still find matches fairly quickly.
I got the Chain Chomp costumes...
ugh... now I have to suffer through whatever ridiculous motion control minigame Camelot decided to punish me with this time. 99% of players will be on dial up with crippling lag, and the one time my team is doing well, it'll disconnect and I'll lose the progress. Like always.

I go through weird periods where I might not find a match for 2+ minutes, but then after I find that one match, I find matches in seconds. I also get matched against the same players often, so I don't think there are too many players out there.
Luckily for me, I managed to find a wi-fi dead spot where i'm still technically connected, but won't match up with anyone due to how weak that connection is, so I can just play it with the CPUs. If it weren't for the addition of CPUs in the co-op challenges, I definitely wouldn't have the rewards yet.
I don't get why I can't just play with CPUs whenever I want...
I don't even play as Shy Guy, I use Paratroopa and Petey lol
The Shy Guy game is actually pretty fun, although I really do not like motion controls, I never feel like I can control the ball
Anyway, with human teammates I averaged about 2k points per round, but with a CPU team, I hit 7k points in one round.
...I wish I could just play with CPUs, I could have this done in less than an hour. Oh well, I have 9k left for the last skin, hopefully I'll get more CPU rounds to make that go faster.

All the sudden this game is starting to click with me (and I've had it since launch). Had a lot of fun this month with the tournaments. Makes me wish I could go back and take part in the prior tournament for the character costumes.
Do we have any indication if there will be other methods to unlock previously available costumes? Wish we could just play offline stuff to unlock alternate cosutumers, etc. I missed out on the classic Luigi alt

I had to look at that racket 3 times before realizing it wasn't a buzzy beetle
