IN-GAME TECHNIQUES

Shot Type

A topspin shot (✖) button is a regular shot with a
forward spin (vertical spin). The ball moves fast, but
its trajectory is high and bounces high. A slice shot
(●) button has backspin. The ball moves slowly as if
floating in the air. Its trajectory is low and bounces
low. A lob shot (■/✖+●) buttons has a high trajectory
and goes over the opponent's head. It is used to hit
the ball behind the opponent when the opponent
is at the net.

Slice

Shot Strength

You can hit the ball harder (faster) if
you run to the ball fast enough to
get ready for the shot. On the other
hand, if you barely catch up to the
ball and are not ready for the shot,
you will not hit it hard. The strength
of the shot changes with the height
you hit the ball at (shot point). It is difficult
to hit the ball back hard if the ball has a
low shot point, for example right after it
bounced. The higher the shot point, the
harder the shot becomes.

Smash

Wait for a high-trajectory ball to
come down, and press ✖/● button
to hit a smash. Press

*@$^ to

control the ball path in the same way
as regular shots.

Drop Shot

Press

*@ after pressing ● button to

aim at an area near the net. You
can make a drop shot that falls near
the net. It is effective when the
opponent is at the baseline.

Instruction to COM partner
