Maximo Djarvik is right, you do it unintentionally sometimes and yesterday you have done it against me when i had match point... i was doing it a lot as well when i first joined ITST but now i don't. I only risk slice deep to defend. You should try it too mate


I got to say, I though I was the only one who could do a proper defensive slice 8) but man oh man, Likos can do it soooo well. Caught me by surprised a bunch of times in today's Exbo. Love em man! If anyone wishes to see what a defensive slice looks like, play Likos.

Maximo plays clean. Just played Exo with him as Sixx. An absolute nightmare to play! Great movement and counter punching. Good stuff man. :tu

thanx djarvik, it has been a great match, and is true , likos can hit some fabulous defensive slice ,on the other hand, likos, with regard to this topic I believe that already we spoke it yesterday and it is not the topic if I use or not slice, but I believe that I have recognized several times and to the whole world that yes, that I use slice 90 % of the times that I go to the net, yesterday I was playing with Strike, and as I am not a good S*V, my tactic is a good serve and go to the net as soon as possible, by no means I used r2+l2 slice, but I say the same thing to you that to coke, I accept your opinion.

the high floating defensive slice is another glitch, as there is no way to hit a solid swinging put away volley, like you know like a groundstroke in the air. You can, but its painfully weak and its pretty much a guaranteed winner in real life. Dare i say it, virtua tennis has this particular thing more realistic that TS3.

thanks Djarvik it was a really good match, we had long great rallies that really amused me.

Im not saying that maximo is a cheeser, we were playing great all the time yesterday and in the match point i had to seal the match, he short risked sliced me. How do i know this? His character grunted lol. This was the only time that he pulled that shot and i think he did that in order to save the point.

i hit some a lot of risk slices. 95% of them are deep though, the only short ones will be a mishit, i'll never purposely hit one. the deep risk is good. gives depth, keeps the ball low, and is relatively slow giving chance to get to net :)

honestly, i don´t remember if i used slice in the match point, but i repeat, i use it when i go to the net, if u say that i used it, then i used it, i believe u, i find finish the points in 1-2 shots, and i do it with volley if i need it, i use r1, and if my player grunt doesn´t mean that is a risk, is all i can say, and this is not the topic , there is not judged the style of any player in concretly.

yes there is :wink: you simply need to charge that shot, not tap, and let go at the right time. Amazing Zizou on Xbox does it really well, almost doesn't miss. I have problem using this shot against him for that reason....he will come in and do a swing volley. Experiment man, it's there.

lol maximo i know when you are risking(R2 or R2+L2) cause we play a lot together. You set your char to grunt only in power shots. You hit a short risk slice man. Don't try to justify it.

Anyway i don't want to have problems with you so this is the last post from me about this matter

no problem mate, i have said that u can say all that u want, and i am not justifying, i never use R2 alone and i use r2 + l2 with x button, u can believe or not,and my player doesn´t grunt when i hit a risk slice (i´m testing it now) and of course u can write your opinion, do u think that i used risk slice?, ok, perfect.

u probably don't know this but you can't hear the grunt when you hit a short risk slice, only your opponent can. It sounds silly i know but its true

I never knew this. I have my player set to grunt on power shots too, and he never grunts when I hit L2+R2 slice! So I guess he doesn't grunt on my screen but grunts on my opponent's?

Vieira seems to grunt when he slices too, I've never known how he does it :D Vieira, do you hear the grunt on your screen when you hit risk slice bud?
