![]() The Setter is quite possibly my favorite position to play, as so much of your team’s success rides on how you play it. We all know what the Setter does, it’s in his name! His job is setting up the ball for your two other teammates to hit. But we’ll talk more about getting over blocks later on. You've confused your Setter's AI, and they'll toss right into a block. In the (very) common case of it failing, well, uh. In Haikyuu terms, you are now the Ultimate Decoy. If it works, congrats, you’ve just confused the AI (who WILL jump at just about every spike they see, btw), and thus your presumably powerful WS will be able to get through. This is done through faking, which again, is done by essentially foregoing what you know about playing WS and jumping for just about every toss. As a Middle Blocker, you’ll be receiving, blocking, and “defending” your Wing Spiker by opening up the net for them to spike. You see this in ACTUAL volleyball as well, and while I’m not sure it actually has a term, we’ll just call it “faking”. ![]() If you’ve played a few games, you’ll notice that the Middle Blocker AI will go up for a spike, regardless of whether or not the toss is for them. “Defense” spans more than simply blocking however. Middle Blockers are (at least in this game) a defensive position meant mainly for blocking. This position is pretty self-explanatory, but we’ll get into it, anyway.įor those of you who want to hit quicks, THIS is the position you should be playing. Again, this is something you’ll only learn with time, even I only get it accidentally more often than not. I personally use Jump Floaters to force the setter to make the first touch, so I know where the ball is going. Jump floaters work similar to run up spikes, the motion goes: 1) Toss-up 2) Jump 3) Hit. They’re meant to be slower and more precise serves that target specific people on the court. Jump Floater Serves are less powerful than Jump Serves, but more powerful than over hand serves. Once you get the hang of them, they become VERY deadly, and really fun!) (Jump serves are very difficult to do, don’t let that get you down, though. A good rule of thumb is to either hit the ball when it is almost at it is highest, or on its way down. Keep in mind, when doing Jump Serves that every player’s stats are different, and in turn, the way their serves work. The longer you hold X, the farther the ball will be tossed. O Holding X/Square=Holding X allows you to set up a Jump Serve. O Tapping X/Square=Simply tapping X will make you do a simple overhand serve, this is useful for times where you simply don’t want to mess up your other, more complex serves (such as being on match point.) Do note, this serve is only available in games, and not in Serve Practice. The left stick is also used when performing a jump serve, which functions much like a spike. O Left Stick=It is not explicitly stated, but you can move to adjust where your serve goes before tossing it up. SERVING: The controls for serving are as follows: (More on the intricacies of playing Setter later on). The Wing Spiker and Middle Blocker Positions have the same controls, and don’t deviate much from the above, however, the Setter’s controls take into account the right stick (or the mouse, for those playing on Mouse & Keyboard.) When playing as the Setter, you will automatically run to the ball to set it (provided you haven’t made the first touch), here is when you’d set using the right stick. O B/Circle=Receiving/Feinting (Again, we’ll get to this) O X/Square=Serve Toss (We’ll get to this later) It'll be hard at first, but once you get used to it, you'll be able to do far more! The base settings for the game can build a ton of bad habits, such as jumping for tosses that aren't yours, and developing tunnel vision solely on the ball. ![]() While it's fine when just starting out to not use run ups, and use beginner mode, I'd say it's better long term for you to simply learn to adjust. (If the image is too small: Turn Beginner Mode OFF, and Jump ON) (A small disclaimer, most of the advice I'll be giving here is purely anecdotal, so while I understand the game pretty well, some info could later be disproved.)īefore we begin, I'd recommend changing your settings to this. ![]() ![]() While I'm certainly no expert, I HAVE played this game ad nauseam for the past few weeks, and have picked up a lot on how the game works. Gaining volleyballs to buy skins (because let's be honest, we're all grinding for the Haikyuu costumes and better players) is pretty difficult. Hello there! If you're reading this, chances are you're getting frustrated by Tournament Mode and some of the more obscure aspects of the game. ![]()
