Mana Games

I am aware that the game is almost finished and is nearing the end of the development cycle. I was hoping for a couple more secret strikes which can make the game even more fun. Here are some which I feel won't change the game much and still be useful:
1. Zero spin/Minimal spin squash shot: Make this extremely difficult to execute, like the sideways topspin, and make this error-prone. I don't think any new animation will be needed for this either. Just use the ones for outstretched shots. We can finally get shots like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2vQPHkAB-U
2. Block shot: This is another low spin shot. This can be used for returns or if the opponent hits a very fast groundstroke and we are wrong footed. This can also be made difficult to execute. Again, no new animations are needed for this. This will be extremely useful against first serves. https://youtu.be/vPtNtNi8_NI?si=YgwbK_YV8nQdRJ4o
3. Slow pace/medium pace deep shot: Again, no animations needed. Just make this error-prone and slow, except for strikes with early preparation.

1 and 2 can even be combined into a single zero-spin/low spin shot, in which we have a block if we are close to the ball and a squash shot if we are in an outstretched position.

I am not expecting any major gameplay change or upgrade which may break the game at this point. So, even one of these features will be useful.
