Sinna vs. StrategyGuide94 (BNP Paribas Masters)

[o Sinna o]

So here is the Match I was talking from against StrategyGuide94.
He is a cool friendly Guy by the Way.

So watch and enjoy. You clearly see that Serve and Power is not everything. And this Guy did it already in the second Match we played against, what speaks for the Statement of Holla itz Mike. We never played together in TS4 before these two Matches today.

I mean ofcourse I think that I could beat everybody with this Character and have my Chances, but I can eqaully lose against everybody too, what you clearly see in this Video.

Finally! Man uploading is so damn lame that it doesn't get more boring.

What you say now Guys? You see what a hard Fight it was, especially in the last Game. You clearly see that he outplayed my weak Points in some Rallies.

I see it more and more that the words of Francois Guintini in Point of Balance were true.

So it's time your some of you Guys to come down again, relaxe and enjoy the Game.

And it's like I said. It was to early to jump on Conclusions.

This just confirms my fears..in the games where you serve flat out 230 K serves (1st and 3rd servicegames) the serves are unreturnable, 3 aces per game. Just in the other games you took it easier with the serves, with speeds of around 2 k's and that's a big difference.

[VillaJ100]

Haha sorry man but its just crazy. Even if you are beatable its not gonna be fun for the opponent.

[ACERBOMB]

This shows me what im seeing a ton online. People are slice bunt returning like 90% of the time. Im not saying its cheesy, but its annoying when people just all do the same thing over and over.

What was interesting about this video though is Strategy Guide was serving not that fast and Sinna was just bunting it back in play most of the time and I think Sinna would have done more damage had he just took a more offensive strike return with those relatively slow serves.

[Wrathchild tw]

To be honest I get the impression that he intentionally kept the score closer than it needed to be. That serve is ridiculous and getting 3 aces a game isn't going to make a fun time.

No sorry I didn't serve easier in this Match. I served like I am always doing if I want to hit down the line or the Outsides.

If I make a Outside Serve for example I don't press forward because I need to get this Angle to make the Service heavier reachable and that costs you Servespeed.

Say what you want but I know I am right in this Point.

Such a Service is just one strong Attribute combined with these Service-Extraskills that can bring you at least a Advatange in your Servicegame. Just one and maybe pretty worthful yes! But so soon my Opponent finds in the Rally while returning he has all Chances to play me off because of my weak Points.

And I made no single full Brake in the two Matches we played together. I mean against Strateyguide. I just won the first Match in the Tiebrake and made two lil Brakes in this. 7:6 (7:4 Tie-Brake)

Hmmm....I'm not really sure what to think.

To be honest the serves in this game (not just yours Sinna) seem to be overpowered. It seems to be much too easy to hit a really, really good serve.

On the flip side, his opponent in this video is not trying to give him a different look at ALL..! He's just standing there! Wtf is he doing When I play a huge server in any tennis game and I'm starting to get aced a lot, I TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT! Move way out to the side....move up to the center...move way back...move forward...try something rather than just standing there and getting aced!

Also I'm a little disappointed with you guys cuz whenever Sinna posts these videos, all anybody can say is bad things about his playing...nothing like "Hey thanks for the video", blahblahblah..i mean it just seems kinda rude.

If I make a Outside Serve for example I don't press forward because I need to get this Angle to make the Service heavier reachable and that costs you Servespeed.

Because of the Outside-Serves:

Either I press down and right or left for the most possible short Angle or I go straight for the Outsides while pressing just left or Right with the right Timing.

That's all and that costs you Servespeed if you don't combine your Service with a Press forward.

Yeah I mean that it's especially easy with the two Extraskill I have is right. It's really not a big Problem to serve this Way if you got such a high Service-Stats but I don't think it's overpowered compared with the full Range of all Attributes and Extraskills.

Ah and because of the Videos. That's no Problem at all. Nobody has to thank me for a simple Video. I am sharing it with Joy. ^^

Haha sorry man but its just crazy. Even if you are beatable its not gonna be fun for the opponent.

i agree with you when i play a friendly match ,than i will too that my opponent have fun to play with me .
but generelly its not my job to bring fun to my opponent ,esspecially when i play a competition like WT .
its his thing to play a character what brings him fun.

Matthias doesn't even speak English as his 1st language and he makes more sense than most of you right now!!

No matter which Matches I play I am always trying to do my best with the Character I have. Ofcourse it's about to have fun but if he wants a really great Time he should better make Sex with this Girl-Friend or Wife and not playing me in a Videotennisgame because that could get nasty.

And I am relly someone who's looking for a fair Competition and everything I saw so far in this Game is fair if you look on the complete Range. I never cheated in a Game in my whole Life. Not even with a lil Try.

I'm really hoping they fix that. I don't mind if really good serves are really hard to return; but it should be really hard to make those serves.

The stick serves should be so hard to make that no one is even making 50% yet - and hard enough that very few will ever dare to use them on the second serve.

I understand they wanted to make the game appeal to a wider range, but that's what the standard button serves are for. An "advanced serve" shouldn't be for people who need the game to be "accessible".

It's just like the 98 power - when you set a stat like that so high, your consistency should drop, and the timing/positioning should be very unforgiving. Hard hitters make a ton of errors. Period.

[VillaJ100]

Haha its true, some people will get their fun from driving people crazy and i can sort of see why it would be hilarious to keep thundering down aces. But i'd keep it on WT and 2k open and leave the ITST competitions as "simlike" as possible, just through good sportsmanship and trying to play realistic tennis.
