Hello,there is a bug. When I shot normal acceleration my player very often have animation like he will shot slice and than shot normal strike. Thats happend with any other shots. I chek my controls, they are fine.

Algo,
I checked and in both cases you're pressing B2 when your opponent hit his strike (to do a good slice if he shots near u?), then you release, then you press B1+B2+up ( = short accel) and don't release before hitting the ball.
With the .dmo, everything is alright ; on the BH, it starts with a slice anim but swap to the normal anim as soon as you press the short accel buttons.
I checked in the code and couldn't find anything wrong linked to that kind of sequence.
So I tried to do it by myself within an online match, but it worked also like intended, so it's quite mysterious.
Could you tell me the # of your FH & BH ? (in the Character Sheet config screen)

FH 27, BH 7

Much later edit:
- Specially on grass, I use autopos a lot, so that's the very early pressing a key you say. And yes, I was to hit a short accel. I have all my shots remapped, so I only press one key to hit that, btw.
I intended to post another dmo but forgot to do so right after the match so I forgot where it was, watched it and it wasn't there

Ok, I'll do some more tests with this FH & BH.
If anyone has another .dmo, please post it as well, it could help me to find some pattern.

EDIT:
important ==> If you do a point replay during the online match, do you still see a slice ? or is it back to the correct normal strike ?

I did some more tests with the FH #27 & 1H-BH #7, but the result was still same ; I managed to get the slice safe strike by releasing early while still having the normal strike anim, though, but this one is more logical (ie: according how the code works).
So still need more .dmo if possible...

I have a little update:
I just obtained a free replacement of my controller, because the button bound to the short accel (the shot I used the most in clay season) was working, but kept requiring more and more pressure week by week. Doing it, I solved my problem, but I still think there's something to fix in the game about this. Yeah, because my button was working exactly as before the last update, but the problem came out after it. So the most logical thing I can think about is that, since the new update, there's a bigger ms range in which releasing the button a bit before can confuse the game, making it recognize a short accel with a slice animation (in my case). Maybe my too earl releasing was caused by my button, who knows, but, since I'm seeing that problem on more and more opponents, I think it's a problem also for players who usually make quick approach shots, or just have a button working at 90% (instead of 100%).

inseedious,
don't hesitate to post some more .dmo when you think your opponent does it, and check if the replay in-game shows the slice or the normal strike...

[manutoo]

So, no one to tell me if the in-game point replay shows the normal anim or the slice anim ..?

I checked various .dmo files and in every i produced the "slice accel" it was shown as normal accel anim, so if you want to see this weird effect you have to reproduce it by yoursefl. I recommend you to do so in online playing since it seems this is also related to delay thing because however hard i tried to reproduce "slice accel anim" offline i just could not, but online its present regularly.

pidzi,
I don't mean when you're watching .dmo ; I mean when you're actually playing the online match. So could you do a point replay (F1 shortcut) at the end of a point with a wrong slice anim, and tell me if you see the normal or slice anim during that replay ? And even better, ask your opponent to watch the replay as well and ask him if he can see the slice anim or not.
It'll help me locate the bug more easily, as I cannot reproduce it on my PC.
