StarTopic Mario Strikers: Battle League |ST| So much hurt, it's fun!

Today I played against someone from a club that had a 720-120 record. Now that's an incredible winning rate! Surprisingly, I was able to win 3-2.

They had the upgraded Peach's Castle (or whatever it's called) stadium, and it looked great! Hopefully we can upgrade our mansion soon.

By the way, are we sure there are only people from this board in our club? Surely we got some randoms too. Maybe we should all write our Strikers Name in here?
That's a good idea. Especially if we eventually have people who want to join but can't because the club is full.

I will get a list started and we will see if we can get confirmation on everyone who is in the club.

Very well, I am Pascal.
 
Me and a few friends hooked up and played last night, fun!

But cant you play 3-4 players online on the same team in clubmode? That was a bit of a bummer..

We got to 100 wins today. Awesome job, everyone!

Other clubs in our division started playing, but unless they go crazy winning matches during the season's last couple of days, we seem to be safe at the top.

Very well, I am Pascal.

A koopa shell gave me a chance to try to take the lead but I lost. I guess it would be kinda unfair otherwise though tbh xD

One day I got a loss because of something a little similar. I passed the ball from Boom Boom to Peach, but Donkey Kong was standing close to the goal with his back turned towards the goalie. When Boom Boom sent the ball to Peach, it bounced on Donkey Kong's back and went straight into the net.

I can tell you I was not very happy, especially because that was towards the end of the match. I was winning by 1 and that goal sent the game into overtime, where I ended up losing.... :cry:
 
Every time I get matched against a duo of players I immediately chalk it up as a loss. They basically get guaranteed Hyper Shots! I can’t compete!

It really lessens my enthusiasm to play solo.

I am generally fine with losing, but when the game puts me a clear disadvantage about 50% of the matches it kinda makes me wonder what's the point of continuing playing. Thankfully I have a co-op partner and the game is a blast with that setup, especially when you go up against other teams with multiple players.

Almost back to 1:1 win/loss ratio. Think I'm 44-45 or something like that. Won my last match 7-1 solo. Felt good about retiring for the night on that note! Also had a great session with my buddy playing co-op before that! Hopefully can get above the hump before the season ends!

This version of Mario strikers is heavily skewed towards items/hyperstrikes and I am finally coming around to the idea that I constantly have to keep my head on a swivel looking for the crowd to throw things out.

Good season everyone! Finally pushed past 50%. Ended 59-58 😂

Some of the higher ranked clubs are on tonight (guessing case of the end of the season) which led to sometimes infuriating but really competitive/fun matches!

Are the servers down? I tried going online to see how the promotion system works and to which "rank" our club got assigned, but I kept getting an error.

Working for me!

Great season everyone. Only 700 club coins till the stadium upgrade and we got promoted

However, we also have 6 members who didn't play any games so might be good to give @JR436 @Gamecocks625 the opportunity to join

I will check it out later then. I have no idea how Nintendo's infrastructure works, but maybe it's a local issue, because my internet is working fine, but Strikers is acting up.

Anyway, glad to hear we got promoted! Let's see how we do against supposedly tougher opponents when the next season comes around.

As for opening spots for others to join, hopefully during this off-season week we can get confirmation on who in the club is and isn't a Famiboards user.
 
I didn’t play as many games as I wanted to, just too many games coming out but I did manage to get some in
Hard though I only managed two wins

Sorry about that, been sick and completely forgot to get my strikers on last week, bleh.

My in game name should be Tangy.
 
Just hit the Fami Strikers club in a random pickup off-season match. (I was Quixotic FC.) Cheers to @ngpdrew for a great 4-3 match of keepaway where practically nothing went in except the Hyper Strikes.

People are quite welcome to join, by the way, if the other community clubs are full... it's mostly just me, but we've got a 5/20 roster at the moment and I'm planning to be active in future league seasons.

I have a weird relationship with the game in which I love the gameplay and overall presentation (except UI) but hate pretty much everything else regarding the game's content. There are quite a few somewhat weird design decisions, from the way they Striker Club Off-Seasom works to the lack of button remapping.

I am with you there. It's fun, but it has a lot of problems.

Oh, heck, that was you? That was a good match. Solid defense all around, including from Boom Boom of all people!

Awesome! I have been busy with some games I bought during the Summer Sale, but I will jump back in when the next season comes around.
 
My first day playing online I went like 0-5, the second one I went like 1-5 but now I'm pretty much at a 50% win/loss ratio. There's a ton of mechanics here so it takes a while to manage to use every option available but it's pretty satisfying.

I've managed to incorporate dodges more to my playstyle but there's some tools I still barely use like lobs and cancelling shots. I also often forget to "pre-charge" shots to get perfects right from a pass.

Quite a hard game to master...

Indeed it is hard to master. I'd say it is probably the deepest Mario Sports game as far as mechanics go.
 
How's the game going for everyone, still been very busy and not able to play games recently :(.
Haven't played it in a couple weeks. Major disappointment from a gameplay and options standard. Bums me out.

I'm trying to decide whether to wait for an update to see if the character drops have enough value for me or if I should just sell it back.
 
I’m super confused with how the online works, when I play quick matches there doesn’t seem to be anyway to see win/lose ratio and when I play the other mode theres like maybe one person online and I can’t seem to join a game, I’m obviously missing something?

I'm enjoying it overall. There is some stuff I find very frustrating, especially playing solo. But in co-op I find it very fun and engaging. I really wish there was a 4V4 mode.

I believe the only time the game keeps track of your win/lose ratio is during a season. It's pretty hidden, but you get to see it by going to your club's roster, selecting your character, and pressing the X button (I think).

As for the "one person online" thing, you are probably referring to how in Strikers Club the game says how many people in your club are online. If you are the only member of your club who is connected at the moment, the counter will be 1. To play matches, just select the first option in the menu, Open Match. You will then be able to choose whether you want to play solo (control the entire team on your own) or join someone to take on people from other clubs.

I am not sure I was clear, but I hope I helped!

Oh thanks, I feel kind of stupid now lol.
 
Very small complaint, but I feel this game could do with a bit more stats on a Season Level. Stuff like % of Possession per match, average number of shots/passes/tackles/dodges, conversion rate, top passer, top scorer, etc.

That would be fun, if only so I could show off to my club my absurdly low Possession rate average. Or embarass myself? I don't know if it's a good or bad thing to have a low rate on that.

That information is displayed in a slightly convoluted way. It's not your fault. :)

Yeah, I agree. Nintendo games tend to be lacking on the stats front when it comes to online matches.

Is everyone ready for season 2?🔥

I will be able to play more matches this time. Will we only face opponents in the same league? So its gonna be a lot tougher, I suppose.
Btw i changed my striker to bowser. Someone else had the exact same Toad as I had, so I decided to bring in something else to provide more variety for everyone. Lets see how we do this time!

Dont forget to mention your in-game name here, so our leader can start to kick out the randoms and let the Fami-Family unite 😎
 
Good luck and have fun out there, everyone!

Will we only face opponents in the same league?
I played some matches (11 or 12, I think) early this morning before work, and that seems to be the case. People I played against were all from clubs with the same silver rank that we have, but I didn't feel any increase in competitiveness compared to last week. I am still hovering around the 50% mark.

I had two incredibly frustrating losses in that session where I was leading by huge margins, but my opponent was able to turn things around because they got handed a bunch of stars. I am honestly not sure I will play too much during the coming days, not just because of that frustration, but also due to how I am also going through Part Time UFO and Astral Chain, which I got in the summer sale. If it turns out that I drop Strikers for now, I can relinquish my spot in the club to let someone who is interested in joining to hop aboard.

Yeah I had a similar exerience some days ago. I was in the lead and my opponent got 3 stars in total and with two of them he managed to pull of a hyperstrike. Of course, he had the perfect timing twice. So in the end, he scored 5 goals with the help of stars! Luckily, I managed to win nonetheless in overtime.
 
I was able to get some matches in tonight. Went 7-5. Feel pretty good about that!

We ran into a team that had the most amazing strategy. They used a combination of Bowser/pair of Marios to literally decimate anything in their way so Wario could get to the pentalty box and take a basic give me charge shot.

It was like American football with a running back and three offensive lineman leading the way. We got absolutely destroyed but were dying of laughter the whole time. We didn't even mind them making us watch the Wario celebrations. I checked the scorecard after and they legit passed the ball less than ten times 😂
 
I really want to pick this up. I took part in some of the server tests, and found the mechanics to be really fun. It just sucks because I am so busy right now and I am already preoccupied with other games.
 
Looks like we have a place in Division 2 locked up!

I really want to pick this up. I took part in some of the server tests, and found the mechanics to be really fun. It just sucks because I am so busy right now and I am already preoccupied with other games.

I just told a friend who is super into soccer that he should wait for a sale or just outright skip it. I'm closing in on forty hours of playtime now and the issues just become more and more glaring.

The controls are just flat out unintuitive. I still struggle with some of the stuff it is asking me to do in high level play. It just doesn't feel natural. Co-op compounds this with weird mechanical choices all over the place. For example, the previous players button press carries over the next ball carrier, meaning even if you have control of the receiving player, an accidental two press of pass from the previous will override your charge shot.

Speaking of high-level play, the best way to succeed in this game is charged passes to charged shots. Which, btw can not be intercepted by the opposing team. So this leads to good players focusing on tossing the charge pass around until it hits on Rosalina who slams it in from the mid field.

It's like sure, you could get good enough to do this technique yourself, but it's just not fun. And the mechanic just further shines the biggest game design problem of the whole game, which is the extremely high percentage of midfield shots going in, which basically makes the the potential benefit of moving the ball around and strategizing for closer/better positioning not worth the risk.

I could write an essay on where this game falters at so many fundamental levels. Omg the AI, don't even get me started on the CPU players almost always doing the opposite of what you would expect them to do. It's kinda mind-blowing how lacking it is. And this all sucks, because the game is actually super fun and engaging at times. But also more frustrating than a game of Mario Party at times.

I completely agree with everything here. I spent a lot of hours with this game, but there are a lot of problems and issues that can cause frustration.

I ended up not playing a lot this season, but I am glad to hear we seem to have guaranteed a spot in a higher division!
 
I'm having fun with the game, there are some mechanics that I feel could be reworked a bit, like how ridiculously easy it's to score from far away with perfect shots, but 90% of my matches are a ton of fun.

What blows my mind, however, is that they still haven't announced anything about the update. It's been a month since launch!

My only complaint with the game is the item balance, Stars shouldn't be getting awarded when you're a mere point behind. I was a hardcore Charged player back in the day and I feel like this is easily better balanced in terms of using what character you want to use and in closing the skill ceiling gap.
