You can play this online against other people at http://www.shockplay.com/

Of course, it does cost, but they have a lot of neat little games.

Yeah, I beat scholer too, but Matsushita kicked my arse. Fun fun fun! thanks, crunchland.

all right! I saw this (somewhere else) about a year ago, and got schooled all around. This time, 21-17 me in the first game against Scholer. I guess he's their whipping boy.

I found a couple of really funny bugs in this game. One is that you can get an ace every time (with Scholer) by serving from the center of your side to the right-back corner of his side (just a mild/straight serve). He misses it EVERY time (if you do it right). The second bug is that if you serve the ball into the net, you can just keep pounding it until you get it to bounce back far enough. Then you just hit it back over the net, and the opponent hits it back to you again! It's a really funny bug. =)

I had played a similar version of this a couple of years back (Shockwave as well). But this one seems much smoother and more fun. Thanks Crunch!
