Help Me! I Suck Poop!

Backwards Man · 08-02-2007, 01:56 AM

At this game! I don't seem to be getting better but worse.....Even worse than that I am getting beat by first time players.

Who is the best Captain to have? I was going with Yoshi, but just switched over to Daisey.
What is the best sidekick combo to have?
What is your general strategy? Do you make tons of passes then one time it home....or do you go for the open field and do skill shots and mega strikes?

Please help me...before I through this game out!

Personally i love DK because of his ground smashing special which clears alot of the field so i can get an easy Megastrike. You just of to see what fits you. I like some powerful shooters and some fast guys like toad. Get a toad in the back with a hammer bro and birdo up front, great combo. Also you just got to do some 1 2's and keep the keeper moving then shoot at the right time. Also it never hurts to do Megastrikes, quick goals and lots of them to.
Hopes this helps

i'll play you i'm not sure what my friend code is though

I think Waluigi is the best to start out with, his Wall-Luigi skill is really useful and it gets you thinking strategically (Walling yourself in, or the opponent out) plus he's fast as all get out!

I use Diddy mostly now (until I unlock petey! ...some time next year...) so you can see I prefer fast characters, I guess you have to find some one who matches your attitude!

Sidekick wise, I like Birdo, Dry Bones, and Hammer Bros. I switch their positions around alot, but they're all pretty good shooters. If you really can't get goals try getting good with HB's deke, you can usually knock out 2 to 3 other players then get an uninterupted skillshot that takes out kritter.

Also, I notice alot of people online "overuse" their captains. Don't. Most of us are really, really good at blocking megastrikes. Get good with your dekes, normal shots and skill shots on sidekicks. Also learn to use lob passes (Hold Z and hit A) and chain passes together. Lobpasses are alot harder to intercept and if shoot from a lobpass there seems to be a better chance of getting a goal. The most common way of intercepting lob passes is for the opposing player to tackle you before you can catch the ball, but that nets you a powerup so it's win/win!

Also when playing the computer, remember it's *really* bad at blocking megastrikes, so you don't need to get a perfect 6/orange. Hit an easy 4/green and you'll usually get 2 goals.

A couple of weeks agpo i rented Mario Strikers Charged Foot Ball (Au) and i thought it was all right, and like all games it becomes quite hard quite fast.

First time i played Wifi i sucked balls, 'scuse the pun and second time arond on Wifi i was pretty good.

LilWiiWii · 08-02-2007, 09:46 AM

I'm horrible at it. But I have been improving. I went through the lessons a second time to get the hang of the buttons easier. Eventhough it sounds stupid, it actually helped me out it like implanted the buttons in my brain. Goodluck to ya. Add me we'll have a noobfest sometime. (506912 874641)

When you go to add a friend, your code is up top. (Dont worry I was looking all over for it too..its in really small font)

bw! · 08-02-2007, 10:07 AM

can you please tell me where you add friends

mark84 · 08-02-2007, 11:02 AM

yeah suck at it too.

R_man_5k · 08-02-2007, 12:25 PM

I am not good either. I think I am now 0-6 online... One loss came from disconnect!!! I was up 1-0 with less than one min left!!! So I may get a win soon... hehe... I think I am getting better against the computer. The lessons did help me too. But even though I am not winning agianst people yet... It is still a fun game. I will get better as I get use to it. I am new to this type of nintendo play...

i use waluigi hes got fast movement and good defence although his passing kinda sucks.

i used yoshi in the begining because he was equal pretty much on everything but i felt he wasnt that powerful (shame i love yoshi!).

then for the little field set up of balance and power and whatnot, i went with bones and 2 shy guys.

im kicking my boyfriends ass thats for sure! lol.

as long as you get someone with semi good speed and better defense, youll be unstopable!

Eagles · 08-02-2007, 12:37 PM

I like Mario, balanced with a good conversion on aerial shots which I use a lot. As for side kicks I like Birdos big tackle + excellant shooting + good dodge, Hammer Bros strong aerial shooting + good dodge, Koopa usefull skill shot + adds a little bit of speed + good ground shooting.

My team works as I was number 9 in Australia/NZ

. We all start off a n00b so I suggest you re-take the tutorials, make sure you charge the ball before you shoot and don't skill shot/mega strike unless you have a large area between you and your opponent. Hope you get better soon

!

penguinphil · 08-02-2007, 02:30 PM

I like having DK up front, dry bones in the back, and toads on both sides. The speed of toad lets me keep people from using skillshots or megastrikes, and DK's power and dry bone's defense skills do the rest. I rarely ever let my opponent get even one skillshot off, while i can score with a toad skillshot from pretty far outside the box.

Thanks i finally found it, gonna post it soon.

manufan15 · 08-03-2007, 05:22 PM

I play with Luigi and sidekicks Birdo Hammer Bros. and Toad. Birdo can score from pretty much everywhere with her egg shot. just get her in the open and you have a goal. You can also use Hammer Bros. deke move to stun everyone and then pull off a near goal skill shot.

The Fifth · 08-03-2007, 07:54 PM

I am definatley going to be on this thread as I suck at this game and I haven't even got it or tried it yet. I usually take a long time to play 1 player titles and haven't played a online game since a unreal tournament demo on pc 5 years ago. So strikers should be interesting. The rental arrives tommorrow but I'm sure I'll have to try offline for awhile first.

R_man_5k · 08-03-2007, 08:52 PM

I am still having fun online but have not got a win yet. Came close... lost in last few seconds last night... I have to say I like the hammer guys but it seems like when I play on line I link up with HAMMER SPAMERS... people that are just useing them all the time and that is all they do. So I am now looking for a defence against that.
I seem to do better when I use 2 little fast guys with a balanced captain and a good defence in the back. Dry bones is usualy up for that spot...

Beat em down before the guy passes the ball to any of them. slide tackle them into the electric fence whenever you have the chance. when they use their deke just remember that they're the ones who need to knock you down to score an easy goal, so let them come to you. run until they get sick of spamming and hit them when they charge up.

I'm no expert on this game, and satisfied w/being average(maybe a little higher

) but i think it should help.

luigi fanatic · 08-04-2007, 06:02 AM

I'm supposedly pretty good at this game with stats at 50 wins- 7 losses. if this helps i use luigi, hammer bro and kooper up front and dry bones at the back. idk
if u no this but if u pretend to shoot then quickly pass, the ball gets whiter faster. Also when u get the Super Luigi dont bother goin 4 the megastrke just go for goal after u make the ball white with luigi. also if u hav an item like a red shell try doin koopers mega strike and when som1 comes near use the shell as ur shooting.
