== Playing the game == There are 5 different kinds of shot in Dream Match Tennis; '''Normal Shot''' (also hits a 'normal speed' [[serve (tennis)|serve]], usually used as a second serve) '''Hard Shot''' (also hits a 'hard' serve, usually used as a first serve) '''[[Slice]] Shot''' (also hits a 'slice' serve, usually used as a first serve) '''[[Lob]]''' '''Drop Shot''' A '''Super-Hard Shot''' has also been recently added, which is harder than the hard shot, but with the added risk of the shot going long or into the net. The normal shot has been criticized for some of the characters, as it is so weak for the likes of Mason that a hard shot must be used the entire time, negating the use of the normal shot. Unlike most tennis games, Dream Match Tennis is controlled primarily through the use of [[timing]] rather than simply the [[directional buttons]]. If a player wants to hit a cross-court shot, they have to hit the ball slightly early. If they want to hit the [[ball]] in the opposite direction, they have to hit it slightly later (i.e., when it's going behind the player's character). The directional buttons can be used to get extra angle or direction; for instance, the downwards directional button makes the ball go short, and is useful for hitting angled cross-court shots. Serving is also performed via correct timing- each character has a unique serving motion, and the shot button must be pressed at the correct moment in order for the ball to go into the court. The moment that the shot button must be pressed varies depending on what kind of serve is being hit, and at what pace the serve is being hit at (pressing the upwards button makes the serve more powerful, whereas pressing the downwards button makes it travel more slowly). The serve is noticeably more effective in Dream Match Tennis than in other tennis games, and the characters with the more powerful serves are capable of hitting up to 14 [[ace (tennis)|ace]]s per set (depending on the quality of the opponent).
