Couple of other pointers, first the purple paddle is now my favorite. It responds the most to the modifier keys, and now I can shift key right over their paddle ~95% of the time, and it works with the upper-ranked AI. Second, adding to the shift key serve, bring the paddle all the way back and to either side all the way to pull of the shift key serve. Notice how the AI is arbitrarily programmed to wait a certain amount of time before moving forward and also how the paddles move horizontally at the extreme right or left. This allows the ball to bounce right over their paddle. The rest of the time (i.e., when they're serving), I seem to do a lot better focusing on finesse and timing with a modifier key rather than brute force (blue paddle). This makes it almost too easy, but still addictive
