Sure thing! ...but, surely you understand that skill alone is useless without a proper stats behind it? So give me the full setup of the player. I'd be happy to post a few counters.

Perfect

Once I have the setup of the top guns in the tournament I will let you know lol

ahhh it looks like everyone found my secret weapon Jon Samala

he is defiantely better than TI/MD far better speed and good power rating makes him a force to be reckoned with and keeps all TI/MD scurrying for everyone shot.

i also believe 95 is a touch to high perhaps 90 or possibly a 85 if all testing goes well.

For me, the link to the draw is broken.

I just tried looking at the draw as well, but it wouldn't load up.

Down for me as well. Perhaps it's the # sign?

Fixed.

so.....skill has nothing to do with this game? its all based upon stats? i am buying the game this weekend and i need to know whether to buy it or not.......in my perception this game seems to be guided more towards the arcade style of game-play....sadly, this is not what i want or enjoy...I HATE RPG's!!!!!!!

Oh I think there's definitely a lot of skill involved, it's just a different skillset and a different 'feel' of the game for sure so it's throwing a lot of TS3 people off. Good.

I guess it's 'arcadey' but it's a ton of fun IMO...just go buy it.

Oh no I think the web link to the draw is broken.... it says I have to play against Norberto.... doesnt matter how many times I refresh the page I still see the same :roll:

Haiffaman64 - finealone 7-5, 6-1
Dynushi - Banthasmaker 6-3, 6-0

Guys that were involved in the two matches above - can you share your thoughts? What players did you and your opponents use?

Common, we need all the feedback we can get.

'finealone' is one of my 'recruits'

Haven't been doing that for a while (referring people to ITST) but then again there hasn't been a TS game that I've liked for a few years.

Hum yeah sharing my opinion...

i made a 0-7-13dbl with slice invasion and reach swings expert which has a good(8x) fh and a not so bad bh(6x) and as well not so bad power (6x) but is very fast and just touches the 95 cap in stamina...which...i dunno but it feels the same as having a 70 :-)

My opponent had a (i think) 0-14-6 obl (insta rocket and passing s.s.)with strong wings (8x,7x), stong power(8x) but was as fast as a drunk hasselhoff. I think in the right hands this could be some of the winning builds we gonna see with that rules because all the times you are able to get to the ball you can hit a winner out of everywhere.

My build...hm im not sure bout that because its just fast and a strong fh you cannot build up a real pressure but you can run behind every ball like a rabbit on speed which is very funny too :-)

I guess I'm the "drunk hasselhoff" with the bad "hand" ^^ and my character is 3/13/4 with 86FH 66BH 79SRV 48V 80P 76S 55SP 55R...

I have a splitted opinion about my build : 55 speed is definitely too slow, and I feel like I loose veeery easily points if I'm 1% in a wrong foot position...but on this match I feel like I can nearly do what I want. The first set was quite close (till I knew I had to leave 10 minutes later) and we were both able to break serve once and have quite good rallyes.

There were not a huge gap beetween our two players, so the rules seems good for me so far.
