Smash and Acceleration somewhat weak

Postby anrox335 » 02 Mar 2026, 04:12

I feel the speed and depth of the acceleration smash shot should definitely be increased. Especially when smash is done from the baseline.
The speed of normal acceleration shot is fine, but the depth bonus of an extremely well-prepared acceleration should be slightly higher.

At the moment, both shots do not result in a clear winner for a well-prepared shot. The short acceleration, top spin and even the side spin shot seem to give better results. I think the acceleration should be the shot of choice for an extremely weak ball.

Hello,

the smash speed when done after the bounce is going to be raised in the next update.

The acceleration won't change.

Can the short acceleration be made weaker then? Or the player speed? I feel the standard acceleration should always supersede other shots when it comes to a weak lobby ball

I don't think it needs change.

If you take it at shoulder height, you can reach 170~185km/h with the Acceleration.

With the new update, it will be much more common to be able to do those hard and super fast accelerations, since the game was forcing a smash when you had a loopy lobby ball most of the time, now you'll be able to crush the ball with a forehand instead in most cases when positioned correctly
