Introduction:

 

Sega's famous tennis game made it to the handheld. Similar to the console but with few modes made specifically for the vita features while retaining the other enjoyable modes of course. Taking benefit from the vita abilities, the game provides great visuals and smooth game play across all playing modes to satisfy returning players and new comers alike.

 

 

Road Map

 

Step 1: Practice mode

 

For starter, head to practice mode and get used to how the game controls while at it pop 30 balloons in practice mode to earn Balloon Popper (B).

 

 

Step 2: World tour mode (Part 1)

In this step you will earn the majority of of the trophies depending on how you act.

 

After choosing to start world tour mode, you will be asked to create a character in order to start your tour. Here you must focus on collecting as many stars as possible so that you can make it to the playoffs. You should also keep an eye out for real people who are cruising the map online and challenge them as often as possible.

 

You will earn:

 

Look Alike (B)

Future Champion (B)

Regular Customer (B)

International Traveller (B)

Famous (B)

Accomplished (S)

Ticket to the SPT Finals (G)

 

 

Step 3: World Tour mode (Part 2)

 

After completing world tour mode and getting all the stars related trophies out of the way, now remains the easy part. Considering that in your first World Tour you focused in collecting stars, it is possible that you couldn't raise your character's condition to level 20. If you didn't, then now is the time to do so. In this world tour you should also play as much mini games as possible to increase you character's ability to buy new play styles.

 

This will net you:

 

Top Condition (S)

Jack of all Trades (G)

 

Step 4: Online mode

 

The online trophies will take a big amount of time to collect, especially the Online Master Trophy. However it is not hard at all.

 

This will net you:

 

First Online Victory(B)

Online Streak (B)

Online Debut (B)

Online Master (G)

 

 

Step 5: Mini games

 

From the main menu choose mini games and play each game for it's own trophy. Some of them may require a little grinding while the others don't.

 

At the end of this step you will get:

 

Great Sniper (B)

Mother Hen (B)

Hat Tricker (B)

Bomb Fiend (B)

Moneybags (B)

Wind Master (B)

Wall Whiz (B)

Turkey Bowler (B)

Poker Face (S)

 

 

Step 6: VT app mode

 

This mode utilise the PS vita features such as touch screen and motion sensing. This step is short and the trophies can be earned quickly.

 

At the end of this step you will get:

 

Emergency Stop (B)

In Your Face Tennis! (B)

Screen Sharer (B)

Classic Photographer (B)

 

 

Step 7: Get any remaining trophies:

 

By now you should have most if not all of the trophies. Just focus on what you didn't unlock yet.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/06.jpgGreat King(S)

Defeat the King in Arcade Mode Singles

 

To be able to face king in Arcade Mode, First you will need to finish world tour mode and make it to the playoffs to beat him there.

 

Many methods have been said about unlocking king in arcade mode but recently I unlocked him by playing arcade mode on easy and what I did was:

  • Get at least 3 medals per match.
  • Never let the opponent get 40 points.
  • At least get 3 gold medals across your matches.

 

Another method that will work is:

  • get at least 5 different medals across all your matches.
  • Never let the opponent get 40 points.
  • set the difficulty to normal or higher.

 

After the last match you will get a notification about a new opponent which is King himself.

 

*Note* Those aren't the only ways to get king to appear. Several members confirmed that.

 

King could and could not be difficult to beat. The easiest method to beat him is by hitting the ball to the left side to force king to use his forehand (since his speciality is backhand shots which are hard to counter sometimes).

 

You can retry in case you lost against him, so don't lose your cool about it and just take your time.

Reach a Condition level of 20

 

*Missable*

To reach Top condition, you must focus on playing as many mini games as you could in world tour mode. The reason i recommend doing this trophy separately is that it may slow you down from getting enough stars to make it to the playoffs in your first world tour playthrough. Keep in mind that starting a new world tour will reset your condition level to 1.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/30.jpgInternational Traveller(B)

Take lessons for all play styles

 

First of all, you need to max out the different play styles levels by playing mini games in world tour mode. You should do that combined with the Top Condition trophy in a different world tour playthrough as they might slow you down from getting enough stars to make it to the playoffs.

 

After collecting enough amount of money and maxing the 4 playing styles pars you can buy all the play styles. You can buy a play style from world tour menu or by choosing my club option from the main menu.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/38.jpgLoving It!(B)

Win 10 Love games

 

Simply win 10 games without losing a single point.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/41.jpgEndless Rally!(B)

Sustain a rally for 30 shots

 

What you need to do is, keep hitting the ball back and forth with your opponent until you reach 30 hits. This isn't hard at all. Just pick a normal or easy difficulty opponent and keep hitting the ball at his direction.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/48.jpgFull Swing!(B)

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/42.jpgSuper Player(S)

Hit 100 super shots

 

To hit a super shot you must fill the par shown at the top of the screen while playing. Each play style fills it's par differently, so read the description of each play style to know how to fill it's par. The easiest in my opinion are 'forehand' and 'backhand' play styles but it really depends on you.

 

To check your progress go to My Club from the main menu > medals.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/47.jpgPro-Tennis Fan(B)

Play using all the real tennis players

 

*Glitched*

This trophy might not unlock after playing with all the real characters. The current fix for this trophy is to keep playing exhibition matches and swapping characters with each new match.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/34.jpgOnline Debut(B)

Play online with a customised character

 

Use a character you created in an online match to get this trophy.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/35.jpgFirst Online Victory(B)

Win a match online

 

To get this trophy, you need to win an online ranked match. This trophy cannot be obtained in a friendly match.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/36.jpgOnline Streak(B)

Win three consecutive matches online

 

To get this trophy, you need to win three online ranked matches in a row. Just practice and choose the character you feel comfortable with and do your best. This trophy cannot be obtained in a friendly match.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1323/37.jpgOnline Master(G)

Reach Rank A

 

This trophy will take the longest amount of time for you to unlock. Reaching rank A is not a quick task if you are playing ranked matches.

 

You start online mode with a rank of (G5) and ranking system in this game goes as follows:

 

G5 > G4 > G3 > G2 > G1 > then you move to rank F5 and so on until you reach rank (A5)

 

As you level up you'll find out that the next level will require more XP than the previous one.

 

Unlike the previous two trophies, this trophy CAN be boosted in player matches with a boosting partner.

 

If you want to boost this trophy quickly, do the following:

 

  1. Go to player match mode.
  2. Select a court and set the rules as: 5 games and 6 sets with tie breaker on.
  3. Invite your friend and begin the match.
  4. One player should win a set then allow the other to win the next one (including the tie breaker).

 

The final result should be like this:

You: 7/6/7/6/7

Friend: 6/7/6/7/6

or vice versa.

 

by doing this, you will earn around 350-359 XP which is a lot and can make the grinding a little less painful. To find a boosting partner visit the trophy boosting thread.

Ok, the guide is over now.

Any feedback or info will be appreciated :)

Just to let you know, the Pro Tennis Fan Trophy for me was not glitched and i got it the trophy the first time i played with all pro players, but i am unaware at this point that there is a glitch.

I'm at 88% on this game, Rank A takes too long and i cant get 10 royal straight flushes :(

 

But, awesome guide, i was waiting for one on this, thanks mate! :)

Does anybody know which mini-game is the best to upgrade your stroke skills?

Because for some reason this one goes very slow instead of the others.

 

I remember stroke was the last skill i needed to level up. it might be slower than the other skills.

i used to play the wind match + some friendly matches to improve it.

Thanks for the guide, nice work.

 

Regarding the King trophy, the second method outlined simply does not work for me.

On normal, I've had 5 different medals several times before the special match, but I always end up meeting Duke.

 

I used the first method myself, but figuered to include the second one since some people used it and somehow did meet king at the special match.

did you quite out as soon as the trophy poped? as your stats only save in that section if you actually finish the game and return to main menu.

I only need Online Master and Poker Face before I get Platinum.

Damn, this game has too MANY quitters playing online -_-

Today, I got two losers quit on me right after I scored my winning point :mad:

Sega should correct the online part for the sequel...

 

Never once had anyone quit on me during my time playing this. Saying that most of the time i was idle so it was an easy win for the opponent.
