glitch: if you come across an enemy city that wants to fight immediately, just click on either the forge, city hall, or temple, and you can go about the city without having to battle them. of course, when you go back to the city, you will have to repeat the process, but if the city seems hard, i found that this helps a lot.
@ Holylance actually it doesn't matter how fast you are going, it matters how fast the racket is swinging. so for specials and supers, just go up to the ball as it comes to you and at the last second, swing the racket so that the speed of the racket increases. + this so people know how to do it the right way.
