Ok i'll add everyone my friend code is

Just had my second sore loser. I could already have had two more wins if it weren't for those childish mofo's. Argh, I'm so frustrated by this! Why can't Nintendo make it so that I just get the points when the other decides to quit? It's almost getting to the point where I myself am considering just quitting out on matches when I am losing. Jeez.

Updated the OP again & added everyone to my Friend Roster. Any more suggestions for what to add to the OP in terms of content or format? More details on gameplay modes etc. should go up later, but any other suggestions are welcome!
Anyone else notice any Hammer Smash spamming yet? Seems the first cheesy exploit of the game is born. Some people just keep on spamming the Hammer Bros. dodge, which is rather hard to tackle, especially when he keeps doing it non-stop. As soon as he's got the space, he'll just use his Skill Shot which will almost always hit when close enough to the GK. One player just kept on using this exploit non-stop, after which I just reset the console out of frustration. It's absolutely no fun playing that way.
God, I'm really not very good at this game. I just keep losing most of the time, or people disconnect after I actually managed to win a series. I still haven't beat the Crystal Cup either. Can't get past the knockout round and I kinda dislike how you have to do the entire cup all over again if you lose. Even worse, you can only pick a different team by throwing away your progress, so you also have to do the Fire Cup again. Why can't I just choose the cups myself like in Mario Kart?
Any tips on how to play the game? I seem to have some trouble scoring with a fully charged ball. It's really inconsistant. Sometimes the balls just fly in easily, but on other occasions the GK just manages to block everything. Is there something I'm missing, like targeting the ball right before shooting or something like that? Also, how do I stop a player from passing the ball around quickly. I have serious trouble intercepting the ball or tackling a player when the ball is passed around fast. This usually leads to a goal for my opponent.

It seems to me you should step back, think a while and the go on a clear mind. Hammer Bros attack is pretty easy to block. Specially if the player in question uses it like there's no tomorrow. Just run towards him, he will do the trick, but you will stop your feet right before entering his area. Then you dash with the d-pad and everything's solved. You gain the ball that will be probably quite charged and can score a goal pretty fast if you haste yourself a bit (a long pass is a good way BTW).R0nn said:
I don't play against the CPU, so I can't give you any advice at there.
I seem to have problems to score with fully charged shots as well. Sometimes I will do like 10 of them and score just one or two goals. While my rival will do like 4 and a yellow shot and will score two goals :lol In fact I'd say I have pretty bad luck. I've even failed a Hammer Bros shot by hitting the goal :lol About intercepting the ball, maybe you should check your team. there're players that have really good tackle abilities, like Daisy or Dry Bones. Besides they're so fast that people won't see you coming half the times. Monty is not good at dashing, but it's godly at hitting the enemy, which is pretty helpfull.
Maybe you're playing with players that don't are good for your style. Try new things. And among everything, just don't disconnect, that's a shame to do. We like men with balls, you know
fresquito said:
Yeah, I was kinda trying that for awhile. Problem is, he just kept on spamming that attack over and over again, even if I managed to constantly tackle him. It was basically his only ways of attack and it became real tireing, real fast.
Yeah, I really hope it's not just luck based or something, since that would be kinda stupid. The game shouldn't rely too much on luck, since it off balances the competitive nature. Some stages are also partial to this. The stage with objects flying over the pitch because of a hard wind for example. One time both my team and my opponent's got blown off the pitch. His Hammer Bros. respawned first and he could just use his Skillshot to score a goal.
Yeah, picking defensive players kinda helps. Still, it's sometimes hard to track where the ball will be going, so it's hard to intercept. Maybe I should just practice some more.

Yeah my problems might be caused by the teams I pick. I constantly switch captains and sidekicks, so I never really settle on one playstyle that really suits me.
Anyway, thanks for your advice!
Just wanted to add that my Mii is named Kristian.
Did my second ranked series today (got a 2-1 win Yay!). I can't help myself but I find Peach irresistable, especially her intro line: "uhuhh bring it!" it's so adorably cute X)
EDIT: BTW, will there be a gaf-tourney? I'll probably end up in the bottom quarter but would be interested in participating

Just got back from a ranked match: lost the first 1-0 (golden goal), won the second 4-1 (I was probably more surprised than him), got to the golden goal in the third.. Which I won after two loooong minutes and fifteen seconds! What a thrill!
I sure suck online but I'm having quite a ball! :lol

Seeing as we're starting to talk tactics I thought I'd give you my current playstyle, defense at least. Need to keep my attacking system a secret
I find it incredibly easy to steal the ball of "Power" or "Offensive" sidekicks, i.e. ones who have dodge moves that involve them stopping and slamming the ground or whatever. It's all a matter of timing. I've come up against several people who do the hammer trick and I've started to see it as a good thing because I know I can get the ball back.
It's all about tricking them into thinking your're tackling so they pull off their move when you want them to. This can be done by running directly towards them, usually causing them to panic and doing their trick. All you have to do is instead of tackle, move at the last second away from him, then dive back in at the right time with a slide tackle and win the ball. It's all about timing. You'll soon learn to judge when to do this after you've played enough games.
Another defensive/offensive trick is to use the slam hit on someone in their half of the pitch. If you have someone with high defensive skill then slamming them will put that person out for long enough for you to pull off that sidekicks special shot.
The best place to do this is when the opponent with the ball is in their half of the pitch and nowhere near any of his teammates. Slam him by wiggling the remote, then immediately hold B for your specialshot. Will normally give you enough time to pull it off (but i've only managed to do this with sidekicks with high defensive rating). This tactic is especially evil with the sidekick who fires eggs has her specialshot. Almost guaranteed to score and your opponent gets annoyed and ends up making more mistakes later!!

I want to play him and tanasten - they've got the game the longest so I'm bound to learn some new tricks when playing against them. I've played against Wes today. whew, seems like we've got some really good players here on GAF. I know your offensive tricks now, though!
I think I have about 15 people in my friends list (of which 10 or so have added me).
I'll stop adding people until tomorrow, when the official GAF PAL Championship thread is opened - I'll add the participants in the GAFMSCPALC then.
tanasten
glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
I HAVE ADDED EVERYONE IN THE MAIN ENTRY OF THIS THREAD, MANY PEOPLE PENDING. IF YOU WANT TO PLAY THE BEST, ADD ME!
Tanasten is...
BTW, don't waste your time with the single player. I have not touched that thing a single time and I'm of the best online. It's just a matter of tactic and practice. Next time maybe you will beat me!
As soon as we meet online. Maybe someday at 23h GAF time?
:lol

So with my vacation kicking in I can finally spend some time with this. Too bad everyone seems to have gotten better at this, I'm getting my ass kicked frequently online.
So if anyone wants to relax and kick some old guy's ass add me.
I'll add everyone in the first post.

Phife Dawg, there's an idea floating around of having MSC "evenings", in which whoever can will get online at the same time & day giving us the possibility to play together, so we can see each other play and suggest, etc.
I'll be pimping this as soon as the final phase of the tournament kicks in (e.g. tomorrow), so don't be afraid, you're not being left alone. The goal is to have a community of gaffers playing roughly at the same level which should bring us enjoyment well into the future.
