lol, I think it would be best to take the skills discussion to the matchup thread.
I haven't used drop shot artist, and I use smell of blood, but I'll try and explain both of them to you in that thread

Why not baning all the coaches ? There will be no more discussions... And we'll see who's the best ?

lol.. I've been experimenting with new coaches and have found quite a few setups.. one similar to Agassi, another two close to Pei and one setup possibly better, atleast for me .. all with no TI/MD/PS

Drop shot artist - you are able to get sharper angles and have the ball land closer to the net, easier, than if you didn't have the skill. Just play with Chang and test it out, you can hit some reaaaaallly crazy drop shots with Perfect timing.



Smell of blood makes all your shots more powerful and more well-placed when you have a Game Point. I personally think it could be a really useful skill

I think it is also fired up when you're trying to save a Break Point. I'm not sure by the way ^^

Tap "A".

I believe you just need to use a flat control shot, against a flat power shot.

I tried control normal or power shot but didn t notice any difference with or without counter shot... Maybe the counter shot skill increase all kind of flat shots , that s all. But I can t say that because I didn t see that....

Sure.

Semi-Volley king opens up a larger window for on the rise shots, allowing you more margin for timing error while still getting good results. Spin-serve master opens a bigger timing window for your spin serves, both Kick and Slice.
it is only for button serving or does it work for stick serving as well

I find it hilarious the amount of people are complaining and shit. I don't see why people are getting so attached to coaches. If he is banned on ITST, move on and choose a new one. It's not like real life and he is your gf's brother or dad or something. :lol:

Anyways, peace out and I'll continue playing(and generally losing. :lol: )

Trust me, 'counter shot' is a good skill once you realize how/when to use it.

It only works on balls that are coming really fast to you, it's not activated unless the incoming ball is moving a certain speed.

You have to hit a 'good' or 'perfect' control flat shot off a powerful groundstroke from the other person.
