Man, I wish this game did a better job of telling you it's control schemes. ZL ZR is the best thing it does and there's no mention of it. Just make L guard and it'll be perfect.

Do we all agree volleyball is shit?
Nah, like the other mini games it's supposed to teach you an aspect of the game, here it's positioning plus punch timing.
Nah. Just nah. I used to dislike it, but now I actually like it a lot.
Not a chance.
it's shit if the person on the other side of the net doesn't know what they're doing
it's quite fun if they do though

Nah, they are a decent change of pace and don't overstay their welcome.
2v2 Vball >>>>>>> 1v1 Vball though!
Tilt Joy cons backwards and forwards?make sure you're using the thumbs up position, which is holding them both sideways
Hmm, I was the holding the controller's , I guess the movement speed is where the dash comes in handy. Just seems always compared to playing with a controller.
I mained Master Mummy, and he was pretty great at playing slowly and strategic. His main problem is he sucks close up and a Ninjara or Ribbon girl can put you to sleep pretty quickly.
I'm surprised a lot of people dislike 3 for all. 2 v 2 I dislike most because of how limited in room you are because of the tether to your teammate.
Yup, I did.
Main Theme.
Character Select.
Online Lobby.
There are also extended versions in that playlist.
If demand is high, it might happen as a day 1 patch, maybe? I'm not hopeful though. I expect a quality of life patch later for stuff like making L/R on the pad for Dash/Jump. Not sure about fully customizable, but a least more control types.

The biggest surprise is that 50/50 split on motion and traditional controls.
Hopefully 3 for all catches on when people learn the controls better. Guess I wouldn't like it very much if I didn't know how to switch targets.

This would probably change if you were communicating with your teammate, so you could so GO LEFT GO LEFT!

Join the club, I'm going to set a alarm just in case I forget.
I enjoy 2v2 vball better due to the movement of the game is not setup just right for vball but with 2 people it works out better
I feel the exact opposite. It's almost impossible to score in 2v2 by anything but a force out since there are so many chances to keep a rally alive.
I thought it was a good time. Fits party mode well.

Yeah. This game really needs team voice chat.

Holy fuck at this Helix player.
He was dodging every fucking attack during 1v1v1 including throws by shrinking.
I beginning to think skilled Helix players will be a nightmare lol.

My first time playing I lose 4 straight matches until I was placed in Volley Ball mode. It was the first match I won.
The trick, like all alt modes in games, is not to approach it like a typical match. I find using one punch followed by he other punch immediately afterwards, forces the ball far out of your opponents reach and secures victory. I won several volley matches in a row using that method.
I didn't really like 2v2 volleyball because it usually felt like a clusterfuck with little team coordination, but then I got paired up with a Helix player that actually knew how to properly position himself as a team and was just generally very helpful and I started to see the potential of the mode.
face buttons on right joycon also work, that's what I use

I really hope there is a non tethered 2v2 in the full game. If your partner doesn't know how to avoid getting thrown the whole round is just a waste. You can't even try to carry the team because anytime you get a rhythm going you get flung across the stage.
A couple of times I got a smart team-mate playing as Min Min or Ninjara that would see I was Master Mummy and hang back to cover the rear of the court with their superior mobility, while I panelled in the hits near the net.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Test Punch really is selling the game.

Bunch of Helix haters in this survey
I think he's hard to get the first time around. His shield has two modes, his blorbs bounce. I didn't notice this at all the first few times I played him.

People don't realize it but he's an amazing character to use.
Like holy shit at his dodging game.

Hoping the next hour will go by quickly so I can put down some Ninjaras and then finally go outside and do something today.
Yeah, agree on both points. Part of why I love this party mode, everything is super quick and addicting imo.

I think people are so initially dissuaded by playing Helix because he is all about methodical and thoughtful gameplay as well as the fact he is extremely slow compared to most others of his size.
Nope, it's awesome and not too intrusive at the pace fhey're putting the games, it makes a nice little change of pace.
I really would've liked to try Hoops as well but hey, can't have everything.

I there's a character that always beats me is Mechanica. Every fucking time.
Volleyball is actually very fun, especially 2v2 and when you know when to set the ball up and how to spike it. 1v1 is pretty fine too but 2v2 with someone who knows how to play it is very great to play.
If there's one thing I can complain about that mini game is that coming back is almost impossible especially if the lead is like 3-0. I wish it's not timer-based in the final online version, especially since the ball explodes when the rally is taking so long, so there's always a guarantee of ending the game even without a timer.
