Blax did amazing... pushed to his limits... yet Aiphaton has always a ball back on the table, usually on one corner, getting Blax breathless... Congrats for the show Blax, proud of being one of your Eleven friends from Chile!

I know this was 11 months ago. But, I feel I should give you some tips (Tips from a real-life highest level player):
Once you're the one on the attack, don't ever stop and hit anything defensive, or neutral. I see you hitting that block with your backhand and forehand when you're the one with control of the attack. Don't do that.
Try to attack with your forehand as much as possible. Only use the backhand to counterattack and defend the corner where your backhand is. Don't use the backhand to attack. And remember that it's always more effective to hit with topspin + sidespin than it is to just hit with pace. Use that forehand sidewinder much more and yes, hit it to the diagonal corner (where a right-hander's forehand is). When you do this forehand sidewinder, the sidespin should naturally make their ball come back to at least the middle (side to side) of your side of the table, if not to your forehand corner.
Once you attack, or you anticipate that they're going to attack your ball, back up like 6-8 inches in general. But, keep your right foot about half of your own foot's length behind your left foot. This keeps your forehand open to strike with. And keep in mind that you can easily hit your backhand from this stance. So, once one of you has initiated the attack, there should be no reason for you to step your right foot in front of, or even level with your left foot.
Next, you shouldn't ever attack at your opponent. And this usually means that you shouldn't attack in the middle (side to side) 80% of the table. Plus, when you make them move with one of your attacking shots, that's when your next shot should be completely to the other direction (If you can do so under control). You see, I noticed that you're missing shots that would be good attacks by going for too much pace when all you needed to do was just take a little bit off the shot and let the placement do the work.
On your serves, you need to practice getting the ball to hit their baseline as a second bounce on their side (Aka the 3rd bounce overall). If you can make every serve, no matter the spin, either hit their baseline, or get incredibly close to it without hitting it, you will constantly force your opponents to make a very tough judgment call and that will make them make bad decisions and bad plays a lot. They're called "Half-long serves", and it's what the pros do most of the time.
If you're going to serve with your backhand, you need to serve it from the centre of the table (side to side) and not from your backhand corner. You need to start with your right foot leading big time so that you're able to get your racket up to your left shoulder in your backswing. You must also toss the ball a good bit higher too, in order to give yourself time to make the backswing up to your left shoulder without having to rush it. Watch Dimitrij Ovtcharov and copy everything he does. Just remember that you always need that sidespin on your serves in order to prevent the opponent from being able to easily place the ball in your backhand corner. If they place the ball there, you're in trouble. And btw, a very effective serve with the backhand is one down the middle and half-long (Half-long, as I already talked about) with sidespin and underspin on it. If you can master this, then you will be able to significantly trouble all of your opponents who tend to stand in the centre of the table all the time.
Finally, just stop hitting the ball down the centre of the table. If it comes to your backhand corner, you hit it diagonally back to their backhand corner (If they're a righty). You do that every time, except for when they give you the right ball that you anticipate and you get ahead of. When you do that, then you go down the line with the backhand. But, you have to be sure that you can get that ball close to the sideline when you do that. And on your forehand, just attack to the diagonal corner (To a righty's forehand corner) first basically every time. However, I noticed that you have your right foot too far forward a lot of the time when you do this, and therefore, you miss the table wide. You must WAIT longer when you do those sidewinder forehand attacks. That's how you accurately hit the corner. First of all, waiting longer takes some speed off your shot. And second of all, waiting longer allows you to play the ball a bit lower and with a bit more spin. The fact that it's a bit slower and the fact that it's a bit lower and the fact that it has a bit more spin means it shall get down on the other side earlier and you won't miss as much. And if you can, on the next shot, try to go for placement alone and play the ball up the line with your forehand instead of cross-table. However, you should make sure that you feel like you can fully control the incoming ball. If you have any doubts whatsoever, then you should play the same cross-table forehand as the first time, except this time you should wait even a little bit longer than the first time and you should swing a bit harder (While swinging the same sort of way as the first time).
Remember, don't tense up and don't try to hammer shots with everything you've got unless you JUST faced basically the same shot on the previous ball in the rally. And when you want to attack, go for the spin and the placement first and foremost. Make sure you have control of the ball at all times. This way, you won't play to the centre of the table anymore and you won't ever give up the attack to them when you have control. Also, just so you're aware: Once the ball is already going fast in a rally, you don't have to swing as big at it, particularly on the backhand. What you do is just get over the ball a bit more and swing shorter. Plus, you go for the diagonal shot (Aka backhand to backhand), as I said before because it's the easiest to control and it's the farthest distance from your backhand corner, meaning you get the largest margin for error. When it's the forehand, if you swing with more spin, then yes, you may swing harder, even when there's already pace on the incoming ball. But, you have to back up and take the ball later, as I said before.
Hope these things help! (They should help a lot because I know exactly what I'm talking about lol). And if you find that you'd like some more guidance, I can let you know how to contact me privately.

I just took a second look really quick:
Explain to me why you would blast a forehand opening attack, then follow it with a much softer forehand for no obvious reason. Why wouldn't you continue to put as much pressure on your opponent as possible by following up your initial attack with another attack, followed by another attack, and so on? Based on my experience, I am going to say that you're afraid to miss, especially against a higher ranked opponent who you really want to beat.
Guess what, you are not going to win by hoping that he misses on his own with unforced errors. He's not going to have more unforced errors than you are (the vast majority of the time). Therefore, that's a losing strategy for you. So, unfortunately for you, you're going to actually beat him. He is not going to just beat himself for you.
So, you need to understand how to keep following up your attacks. The way you have to hit attacks 2, 3, and onward when you're someone who likes to attack close to the table is you have to be prepared to attack the ball when it's still on the rise and you have to basically start aiming downward by aiming like halfway deep on their side and making sure you swing really hard while doing so. You'll have to get way over the ball and, like I said, you'll basically have to hit the ball downward. And one of the keys to not missing is just shortening up your swing quite a bit while still swinging really hard. And the key to beating an opponent like Aiphaton with these sorts of attacking points is to make him move left or right as often as possible. A pro tip for this is to go cross-table with the forehand with your first attacking shot, and then follow that on attacking shot 2 with a ball that goes to his backhand corner. You'll need to practice how to be accurate doing this combination all the time before you start being able to hit that 2nd shot super accurately, even at a high pace. At first, you're going to need to take off about 35% of your power from the 2nd shot in order to make sure you hit it into his backhand corner decently enough for it to be an effective tactic. If you try to hit shot 2 at full-tilt without training that shit for at least 2 months, you're going to miss probably 40-50% of them unforced. I'm not saying to feather that shit in there either. No, still take an attacking swing. Just slow it up a hair in order to hit your target, which is most important.
When you do that one-two punch, he'll be having to hit a very awkward backhand and he'll be on the move when he does. And from experience, I'm telling you to expect him to play the ball into the middle (side to side, I mean) and if he's on the move and having to hit an outstretched backhand, then there isn't going to be anywhere near as much topspin on his ball as the previous shots of his had on them. So, as soon as you finish shot 2, you should be strafing like mad to your left, anticipating using your forehand next the whole time. You have to move quickly and you have to get your left hip to where it's lined up with the left sideline (from your perspective) and you must also hit this forehand much flatter than you hit shot 2 because there's not a lot of incoming topspin on the ball like there was on the incoming ball for shot 2. Topspin makes your shot want to go upward. Therefore, if you hit shot 3 like you hit shot 2, you're going to hit it into the net, or you're going to skim it off the top of the net. And if you skim it, you'll be hitting it too hard for it to land on his side. So, you just need to aim a bit more forward, rather than downward. And then, the big key to this is that when you're swinging, lean all your weight onto your left foot as you're making contact and aim for about halfway between the centre line and the cross-table corner (side to side, I mean) and try to take that ball at its highest too.
If you start learning to make your opponents move constantly and to keep attacking again and again, then you'll get a lot better very quickly just from that alone. Then, if you implement everything else, you'll eventually start reaching the top. You just have to work on it HARD and you have to start looking at it like this: Stop making tactical errors. Make the right decisions on every shot. And even if you mess up your techniques, at least be making the correct choices for every shot. Choose the right type of shot, the right placement of the shot, choose the right stance, choose where to move as early as possible based on what you just hit, how well/poorly you hit it, and based on what is even possible for the opponent, what the opponent is capable of, and what the tendency of the opponent is. When you start making sure that you make as few mental/tactical errors as possible, that will go very far for you. It goes far for everyone.
Aiphaton makes a ton of tactical mistakes that you can take advantage of. He tends to play too passively for someone who knows how to attack properly, who can attack each ball very well, and who doesn't miss their attacks. He is easily beatable by someone like this. Like, if he were to play someone like myself in real life the way he plays in VR, then he would have no chance in hell at beating me. He wouldn't be able to take a single set off me and I guarantee that he wouldn't even get close to doing so, not playing like that anyway. My attacks are just too devastating and too consistent. Plus, I'm so tactically sound that he would constantly be on the backfoot, if he tried to play like this against me. I can attack too well and I'm not going to miss my attacks very often either. Plus, I'm a penholder. My forehand attacks are so spinny and fast, even for a top level penholder. And I can hit them very well against almost any ball. And of course, I see the game so well that I can always keep moving early and I know what to play and where to play it in order to keep using my devastating forehands. You need to get yourself to this point, or close to it. I've given you many of the secrets as to how to do so. That means that you just need to cut out all the shit that doesn't help you and you need to work hard towards making the right decisions on every single shot. You need to strive for that kind of discipline. When you do, then it'll only be a matter of time before you reach top VR level.

@@BiscoWho Hello,
Thank you for your detailed insight and advice. The strategy you've outlined clearly reflects a deep understanding of the game. I agree, the one-two punch approach, making the opponent move constantly, and maintaining continuous attacking pressure are essential tactics for a successful game.
You're right that my strategy may seem inconsistent at times. The alternation between a strong forehand opening attack and a softer follow-up is not due to fear of missing, but rather an attempt to disrupt the rhythm of my opponent. However, I understand your point that this might not always be the most effective strategy, especially against higher-ranked players.
The advice you've given on how to follow up attacks, particularly on hitting the ball when it's still on the rise and aiming downward, is extremely valuable. I will definitely work on shortening my swing while maintaining power, and aim to improve my accuracy with the second shot.
Your tactic of making the opponent move left or right as often as possible is a great tip. I'll practice my cross-table forehand and backhand corner shots to achieve this. I appreciate the advice on adjusting my power and aim for the second shot and will incorporate this into my training.
Your observations about anticipating the opponent's returns and adjusting my shots accordingly are very insightful. I'll work on my movement and positioning, particularly after the second shot, to ensure I'm ready for the next return.
Finally, your emphasis on making the right decisions for every shot is something I'll take to heart. I agree that understanding the opponent's capabilities and tendencies, and making fewer mental/tactical errors can significantly improve my game.
Thank you for your comprehensive advice. I'll strive to apply these tactics and techniques in my training and matches, and work towards reaching a higher level of play. I'm grateful for your time and expertise.
Best regards.
