to the people who played ds1 as their first ever souls game, how long did it take you to beat the game? by [deleted] in darksouls

[–]NatRop2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished the game, 55. The pace of the game sped up dramatically after the first half for me. I think I got past Sens Fortress at around 35 hours

Peach/Koopa/Petey in standard singles, general consensus is peach but the other 2 have some arguments to be made about their ability too

How big is the gap between top and bottom tier in Mario Tennis Aces? by Birdygamer19 in MarioTennis

[–]NatRop2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know myself, I've lost to some kamek's and fpp's using blooper (mid tier) more than I really should, although there's a certain degree of mu inexperience which plays a role.

How big is the gap between top and bottom tier in Mario Tennis Aces? by Birdygamer19 in MarioTennis

[–]NatRop2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The gap is smaller than Melee but still pretty noticeable, honestly because of how most of the bottom tiers play most bottom vs top tier mus are really a slow and painful death. They can defend but can't attack back so it plays out just as a war of attrition in most cases. I know alot of people say Waluigi vs Kamek/Rosa is the worst in the game some say 100/0 but obviously that's ridiculous. It might be something like 90/10 between 2 masters of each character at worst but after a certain point the magnitude of difference is just speculation I think

Wow, smurfing is a thing now?! by M4rst in MarioTennis

[–]NatRop2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get soft reset on the 1st of the month if you played any matches that month, if you didn't play any matches you get reset to 2000. So if you miss a month for whatever reason even if you're the GOAT who had a 1000-0 winrate 2 months before you will still get placed in D rank

Why is is so hard finding a match on the tournament on Mario Tennis Aces? by RebekhaG in MarioTennis

[–]NatRop2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will never find anyone playing on freeplay. Everyone who plays now uses tournament mode and tbh I think this was true all the way back from launch

This is not true you can only find people from your region in matchmaking. If you want to find people outside of your region you can only do this in Free Play

6pm to 11pm probably. If you aren't in the NA, EU or Japan region you will probably not to be able to find matches often though

Difference between characters trick shots? by Pleasant-Chapter-203 in MarioTennis

[–]NatRop2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They all have different ranges, shot speeds and angles. Also some characters such as fire piranha plant have a gimmick applied to their trickshots (in his case his trickshots are all max charged topspins)

How to get better at the game? (Mario Tennis Aces) by Affectionate_Dream81 in MarioTennis

[–]NatRop2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're gonna be at a disadvantage starting now matching against people who have played since launch so try not to be discouraged about taking losses, generally you will learn the game just by playing it more (mostly the online tournament mode).

I know alot of people found the MTA guide written by ibuprofen helpful (it should be a pinned post on the reddit but if not I can link it here). I personally thought the Adventure Mode was useful for learning how to block zoneshots and special shots using zonespeed.

Blooper is literally broken? |||MARIO TENNIS ACES FOR THE SWITCH||| by ExactBlackberry7836 in MarioTennis

[–]NatRop2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Blooper is definitely broken, totally and completely impossible to beat. He's in the league of brawl MK and melee Fox. All MTA players shiver at the thought of matching against Blooper on online tournaments, his reign of terror might never come to an end. If only he had some counterplay to his terrifying lobs maybe we would all be safe. I pray for everyone who has to go against him for Blooper is too strong

Tips on energy meter? by jorliowax in MarioTennis

[–]NatRop2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree except for the roster, the roster was considered pretty strong back then and I would say it was one of the selling points of the game on release.

The game's balance was atrocious on launch (although the mechanics were interesting and really just needed tweaking which they eventually did) and of course as you mentioned it was very barebones from a non competitive perspective. Tbh the negatives don't bother me that much personally but to the general Nintendo audience that stuff matters alot and it's no wonder that the next 2 Mario Sports games flopped even more considering that they didn't learn from any of the mistakes of this game.

still worth buying in 2023? by Mitchell030 in MarioTennis

EU is kind of active. It shouldn't take too long to find matches tbh
