I was playing online last night and really talking it up, talking basketball, Kings, Lakers, playoffs, but it was crazy because once we stated getting a good rally going we both just went completely silent. One of us would win the point and the discussion would start right up like we never stopped talking, it was weird now that I think about it.
This game is so amazing. When you get a good, long rally going, you feel the only thing in the world is you and the TV. All you hear is ping, ping, ping, ping, x60, then cheers, then the world around you come back into focus.

Favorite game on the X360. Everything about this game just screams polish. Admittedly at 60 bucks I would not have considered it, but at 40 it is a no-brainer. Hopefully Rockstar put some hooks in the game that will allow for some new crazy arenas and maybe extra characters (C. J. from GTA:SA would be hot) For a gamer that mainly plays online, this game perfect for me as I could not give a fuck about some drawn-out career mode. I have been thinking about Table Tennis all day here at work, and I can't wait to get home to play it for several hours. Damn real world and career....

I will be picking it up tomorrow. I'll be playing tomorrow night.
I am not as crazy about online play as alot of people, but seems that the single player was good enough to keep my occupied. But I will be playing online.

HOLY CRAP just beat the Amateur Tourney and I am SO DAMN exhilarated. Jesper was no match against valley of the backspin. Just stay back from the table and you should be fine.
Faced Kumi in the finals and took care of her on my second try. Going from a powerhouse like Jesper to a spin-machine like Kumi shows how amazingly deep this game really is. I had to change my entire game to face her and as opposed to Jesper stumbling over the backspin, nearly every point against Kumi was marathon. When you face someone like her it's like fucking Brain Training if you're down with the counterspin.

Also, I just realized with all my tippery in previous posts I may have been saying Jurgen when I meant Jesper. Everything I've said about my never ending battle has been referring to Jesper, not Juergen (whom I just unlocked). Sorry if that confused anyone.
But yeah, this game rules. The ultimate fighting game with NO combos, which are bullshit. Heavenly.

Are you guys using the buttons or analog stick to play?
It's the top 360 seller at eb.com, for what it's worth. Has been for two days.Speevy said:Who knew a table tennis game would turn out to be one of the best games on the Xbox 360? It's too bad that the residents of this thread are probably the only ones who bought it.
Over 50K would be great though.

Being excited about a table tennis game baffles me. You move 4 feet to each side and hit the ball. This is not a sports game. This is more a tech demo than a game.
:lol You obviously don't know a lot about table tennis then.
I've been playing competetively for five years now, and I'm gonna tell you-- it IS a sport, in every way.
Real table tennis is a lot more like traditional tennis than it is basement ping pong-- get this, there are actual STROKES: forehands, backhands, etc, and it is a very physically demanding sport. I'm sorry, but... a table tennis player is as much an athlete as anyone else, trust me.

Okay, I played at EB with the buttons, then used the stick. Didn't really see much of an advantage either way, but then again I hadn't been through the tutorial or read the instructions either. The ball did seem to 'spin' more with the sticks, but hard to tell with just one sitting.
The ball physics in this game are amazing. I was worried that all the hits would be in a canned direction but this doesn't seem to be the case. You can even hit the edge of the table, and the ball will take an angle to the ground making it practically unhittable, like in real life.

Fuckin A - i'll second that sentiment -although it's nowhere near as much about fitness like tennis or squash, you still have to be able to control your body and be able to hit the shots your opponent can't - in fact TT is far more about skill than stamina, but being an athlete requires both.

Yeah, that is true, I can't argue.
That's not to say high-level table tennis doesn't require fitness or stamina--it does-- just not as much as some other sports, for obvious reasons.
But yeah, anyway. All I'm saying is that it's definitely a "sport".

anyone having any issues inviting friends on their XBL friend list to a game? I can play online with any person I choose, but when I try to connect to my friends who are playing, or they invite me to a game, I get "Failed to connect to game invite"
Me and my girl Haley won our first ranked Timed Tournament! Damn that is fun. Playing while the clock is ticking, exciting!
Although not counting total points kind of sucks. I went 6-1 (or 7-1 I forget) in the timed tournament, and the one match I lost I had lost the first game 5-3 and was up in the second game 3-0 when time ran out. I had more points but lost the match.

Well I picked up the game today. I must say it's pretty cool.
I went through the training and got perfect scores then went into an exhibition match. I first played on medium and got destroyed like 22-1.
I then put the game on easy and played an exhibition match. Very tight battle that went 3 games and I came out on top...barely.
I tried a tournament and pretty much whipped up on the computer and took the title quite easily.
So, now I figured that I should go online.
I checked out the network thing and thought that it was pretty cool to watch other people playing. I guess this feature may be in other games, PGR3?
So I decided to play an unranked match. MAN OH MAN. Wow that was fun and intense. Unfortunately the person on the other side didn't use their mic so it was a little...meh.
I lost the first game 22 to 20 with me losing game point on a 114 hit rally. That was just nuts.
I went on to win the next two games and the match. 22-17 and 22-20. The last match I was down by four at one point and was feeling like I couldn't catch up. But I then went on to score 9 straight points. The match took about 40 minutes or so. I did experience some lag at times which really hurts in a fast paced game like this.
I do like the game, it's very fun, fast paced and instense. I'm currently playing with the buttons instead of the stick, I think I'll get decent with the buttons first then upgrade to the sticks after my skills have improved.
My thumbs hurt.

I kept trying to switch to the sticks, but in the heat of battle I just can`t get the same responsiveness. Anyone got any tips?
To be honest, I don`t mind using the buttons, you just have to learn how to press two at once, the backspin+leftspin being the hardest to pull off.
