Secret Strikes

Postby anrox335 » 26 Apr 2025, 00:10

So, I got to know about them from the documentation. They are as follows:
Secret strikes :
to do a topspin strike with a side effect : press Normal Strike, then Short Strike, thenTopspin Strike (with default setting => B1, then B1+up, then B1+down)
to do a short slice : press Slice, then Dropshot, then Slice ( => B2, then B2+up, then B2)
to do a slow poor defensive slice : press Slice, then Defensice Lob, then Slice ( => B2, then B2+down, then B2)

I wanted to ask if it would be possible to map them as individual buttons, especially the topspin strike with a side effect. Also, it would be great if we had something like a deep top-spin strike. This would be extremely useful on clay courts to push the opponent back.

They will be abused if mapped to additional buttons. The secret shots are cool because it really takes a lot of skill to use them effectively mid rally

That makes sense, I just wished if it were possible to do so for offline mode since that's all I play. Anyways, a deep topspin would still be usefull(or maybe something similar to a moonball) both offline and online.

Yeh would be cool if that was available offline. You can kind of do a deep topspin if you hit a really high quality topspin where you're positioned super early and charge for a long time, otherwise the accel lob is kind of a heavy topspin moon ball.

I think we still need a low/medium speed deep top spin which we can hit in most situations. This is extremely common amongst top players in clay courts. If this shot has high error rate, and is difficult to perfectly execute, it would be extremely good to have. Maybe this can be made another secret shot.
