I still remember you. How can I forget. I liked your character. I've always wanted to create a diesel returner but I can return just fine without that skill. Hopefully returning is tweaked. Yeah every game went to duece. Lol, your style threw me off a bit. Lol, hope you don't find this offensive, but you were playing in a very weird way.
I've changed my all-rounder and he has less power now, from 67 to 64, so we'll have an even more powderpuff match now when we play again. I'd like to add you if you don't mind. Don't let that 64pw fool you though, he can still take a crack at the ball.
I have a S&V/defensive baseliner hybrid with 54 power. So I've seen things from your point of view. Your character has like 52pw if I'm not mistaken? It can be hard to win because you're just not powerful enough. Worst of all you can't wear your opponent down cause stamina doesn't have any effect, and they're too fast even with their low speed. Hopefully things get tweaked cause I really like my hybrid, it's just it can be hard to win with him when you run into really good players.

lol at "weird" :lol: That is how I would describe my TS4 game too..it is all over the place.
Sure, add me. I keep changing my player though as I'm still experimenting with different styles. 52 power isn't going to win much really..I think a minimum of 60 power is a must.

Yeah, you need good power for now. I have a 54pw char, but it can be difficult to win with him.
I tried adding you but your list is full :(



I played djarvik's Monfil's today. Lol, those were some nice enjoyable matches. Especially my all rounder vs his monfil's. I like the way that match went. Your monfil's is really fast. It's was hard for my all rounder to hit through him. Reach swing expert just made it tougher. Lol, at times I was like "what the...he got that back". Your monfil's and puttu puttuu's soderling are very similar. The problem my all rounder has is that he isn't an offensive baseliner so he has trouble hitting through them. I like those matches thoough, they remind me somewhat of federer vs nadal. I usually have to bring my S+++ game if I want to keep up with good really fast defensive baseliners.
I enjoy my new all rounder now, he plays more like how I wanted. How was his offense djarvik? My brother told me that even though I have 64pw he strikes the ball very hard. I try to play him like how federer plays in real life, if it wasn't obvious already lol.
Also what did you think of my s&v/defensive baseliner hybrid? lol, something told me you were like "wait so he can rally with me and volley very well too o_O?" hahaha. It's hard to play him though with that 54pw. In the games current state it's makes it difficult.

If only the tour banned Pei Jing Quah, for right now, until she's hopefully fixed, then the tour, imo, would be so interesting. Playing non TI/MD characters reminds me of how fun the game can be. Now only just a few more patches and it could be really good.

Some skills seem to be able to beat other skills. For instance, my all rounder has smell of blood. This makes my shots more effective when I have game point. I end up hitting better shots than TI/MD characters when I have game point. Lol, it makes breaking and holding serve a lot easier. All your shots (flat, topspin, slice, precise, power) become incredible, and I'm still amazed at some of the clean winners i can hit at times.
People say a really fast defensive baseliner with reach swings expert can be hard to beat, true. Thing is fatality is the best skill to have against defensive baseliners with reach swings expert. Smell of blood can also work, but you have to have game point. Fatality is also very good against monster defense. So is smell of blood.
Fatality can probably lose to a fast character with longer! better! but I'll need to test that.
Interesting it seems. All in all Pei Jing Quah is still the best coach out there as TI/MD together is too much. Everyone shouldn't have to create a character with fatality just to win. If she gets fixed then itst matches could become a toss up. That's when all the fun really begins.

I announce my retirement from the itst MS tour until a patch is released, or a sim tour emerges. It's clear that if you want to win you have to use TI/MD. I will still play exhibitions, but only against non TI/MD characters. I wish you all the best on the tour.

Ahh be careful that page only gives you the members name, some people use different xbox live gamertags and member names.

Yes most of the members do you use their xbox live gamertags as their member names, but not all.

Yep. This was my "mild" version of Gulbis. I have a more extreme one too. But I usually play with defensive types....just figured you liked attacking tennis more. Didn't know you were going to use Rafter for god sakes :lol:

Even still, I was very frustrated, at how many freaking balls you got back. I mean I was ripping the felt of that ball!

Yeah I think I'm 'special' in that regard :lol:

I have noticed that I get a lot more balls back than most people I play, even with characters like Rafter.



BTW I didn't mean it's bad you play with a 'blaster' I just wanted to give some idea of what kind of match it was. I mean I don't know what else you call your guy he's definitely not a retriever or a serve and volley guy.

One thing that was really frustrating me were the low volleys...I was mistiming balls that I'm pretty sure I would be getting 'perfect' or 'good' offline with no lag, and just leaving sitters to be put away easily. Also I didn't even bother trying many Control volleys, I tried a few and just completely missed, my guy didn't respond at all...anyways that WAS a good match I just need to 1) Get better placement on serves so you can't continually give me low volleys and 2)Come to the net on better approach shots, because sometimes I was just trying to come in because I simply didn't feel like trying to rally anymore, not cuz I really should have come in.
