Given that TE is a position based game, I wanted to propose some new ideas while returning a serve. It's like a small minigame:
1. Standard Split Step: If the player stops moving and stands in a fixed position, there should be small bonus in lateral movement. This is exactly same as the current setup
2. Pre-Determined Hop: timing dependent hop which will give bonus if time correctly. Requires high skill. Works only for extremely wide serves
3. Staggered Stance: Small bonus in the guessed lateral direction, large penalty if guessed wrong
4. Bait: Opposite of staggered where the opponent takes the bait

The player can select any of the 4 stances before the opponent has started his serving motion using the input buttons.
