Yeah I had issues finding doubles, but singles are flourishing. Also the private lobby setup is neat. Can set up 3 spectators...Makes it super tourney friendly on top of the solid netcode.

I looked into some competitive play...Man, I realized I am not ready lol. Game is very oriented around getting juice and the mind games are too real. You get punished hard for bad throws too. That net tactic gets blown up by far lobs, but it KILLS scrubs that aren't ready.

I'm about to get on now. Anyone wanna run singles or doubles?

Has been a fun beta so far, some minor hitbox issues (like when sliding you sometimes you CLEARLY were next to the disc but it registers that you missed it.) and the game crashed on me mind stream as well...

Short of that it was fun, im waiting for the windjammers remake to see how each stacks up etc

Used to play Windjammers back when I was a kid at arcade places. The retro game was like 60fps. In this video it seems like a 30fps or is it my idea?

FYI, you can power shot it after the disc gets spinned like a coin, meaning that you can shot it too fast for your opponent to catch it. ;)

Yeah, they fixed some of the crashing in a patch, so update your app, and you should be good.

It's 60fps.

In Disc Jam it's different, you have to charge your shield to full then hit the disc for a Super Throw. It's mostly unused because the shield slows you down while you charge, unless the throw is a bad one (i.e. too many wall bounces that makes it easy to read, or you stand under a bad lob).

I see. They changed its gameplay only at its Super Throw. Thanks for the info.

Yep, Super Throw is different, and analog controls means way more throwing directions and precision. You can throw with an almost unnoticeable curve, or you can easily hook straight into a wall.

If I wanted, I could try my Mad Catz TE2+ on this, for retro's sake. lol
