This minigame encourages precision.
When an attack ball heads your way, hitting a scosh too late will lead to damage.
The same can be said for early timing, which can cause you to miss the ball entirely.
We found thattiming your hits on the earlier side gets more successful results.
Moves with a slow start-up animation are not the best deterrent for fast-moving balls.

We found some fantastic titles similar to Tekken 8 that you should play!
Air combos are vital to a solid offensive strategy in a traditional Tekken match.
However, they don’t make much of an impact in Tekken Ball.
The fighters you’ll launch in a Tekken match have more weight.
So, when you launch them, they’ll stay close enough in range to execute a damaging combo.
Tekken Balls are much lighter.
When you think about it, this detail is a necessary check.
That doesn’t contribute to any fun volleys, making a boring match.
If there is a move you love to spam, go for it.
Just remember not to make your actions too predictable.
Otherwise, your foe will punish your attack ball with an equally damaging deflection.
First, you could send the attack ball back by hitting it with a strong attack.
Second, you could block the attack ball at the cost of some damage to your health.
Lastly, you couldstop the attack ball in its tracks with a toss.
You mustsuccessfully execute a throw on an incoming attack ball to perform a toss.
This sounds too good to be true!
What’s the catch?
The catch is that successful toss timing is more precise than a standard Tekken Ball hit.
Think of Tosses like the"Perfect Parries” of Tekken Ball.
They are high-risk/high-reward maneuvers.
We recommend getting a solid handle on the Tekken Ball basics before attempting tosses.
This will give you the confidence and muscle memory to incorporate tosses into online Tekken Ball matches.
