I already play good at air hockey at the arcade to the point I stand out and often get open challenged I use my own gameplay and when it’s adults I analyze and learn theirs Often I will do a few of the things: 1. Hold the mallet the way most people do simply cause that’s my play style and I switch it up to the other way around to put more power on a shot mid-swing 2. I purposely create rally with myself to confuse the opponent 3. I slam the puck against the wall at points to induce a heavy sense of friction Any other advice?
@@blaze_tron8241 Niceeeee, I changed it up now and the best strategy is *practice* I treat hits as punches (straights-Jabs, banks-hooks) and it’s helped incredibly. I can Van Halen it (both hands) and I’ve also beat a former world champ. *Practice is one’s best friend*
@@Ace_729 I played against this robot and beat it 5-0 in air hockey. It’s weakness, like most people, is when you hit it at a certain angle on the left side of the wall that it bounces fast and hits the side of the goal just so it goes in. For the other person it goes so fast and is too hard to react. I remember one guy tried to 1v1 me at the arcade confident that they’d win and they got thrashed.
I completely switched up my style and it’s got me an ongoing 52 game win streak. I start left handed for testing out players, and when I use my right hand I go crazy. If they aren’t good usually my straight (relatively my most efficient move) gets them 7-0’d. If they’re good I got a bunch of alternatives that gradually degrade the mental state. 1. Faking a bank shot to put spin on the puck sending it straight 2. Banking it early off my own wall to hit it closer to the line 3. Random straights 4. Hitting it closer to the line to throw off timing 5. Hitting the sweet spot bank (not very reliable at it tho) 6. If all else fails I just resort to puck control, if I hit it then it must come back so I can go offensive again. Just playing keep away basically but it takes a lot of patience for me to resort to it
Hello gggnumber1! A “Charge” in air hockey occurs when the defensive player immediately hits the puck back towards their opponent right after the offensive player hit their shot. A “Charge” basically just means forward motion on defense, as opposed to standing still or retreating. If a player hits the puck off the table while they are “Charging” then the puck is given to the opposite player, and the game begins again from there. If the puck goes of the table while the defender is static or retreating, then the puck goes to them since they didn’t directly cause the puck to fly off the table. I hope this helps! Good question, let me know if there’s anyway I can help clarify :)

Awesome channel. I would recommend a video on teaching the basics of how to catch the puck for beginners so they can begin to learn puck control.
@@PablitaPicasita Who let you off 4chan?
@@VagabondTE search up basic choad handling techniques and maybe youll understand the basics lol
Thanks, Collins. Very informational and straight to the point.

yeah i made it to my school and regional finals and won with holding the mallet normally but yes that is a good idea of style. I use it to

That muck control thing genuinely changed everything

Hey Colin Cummings, help me understand the "charging" rule, as in, me, the defensive player, hitting an opponent's shot right back.
Hello gggnumber1! A “Charge” in air hockey occurs when the defensive player immediately hits the puck back towards their opponent right after the offensive player hit their shot. A “Charge” basically just means forward motion on defense, as opposed to standing still or retreating.
