Haha! I just busted Sophie's knee caps!

I'll admit though, it took 3 game point rallies to finally finish her. She just wouldn't die :)

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 :D

I'm not sure if that's hard or if it's early in the morning, but damn! The only way to win is to keep it up until the ball starts flying like a mother, and only then do you have the chance of flinging it past the comp.

Well that's just freaking great. Shockwave for Mozilla in linux doesn't exist.

Thats the price you have to pay if you want to use Linux.

I can never get the ball to hop over the CPU's paddle. This game is hard! I'll figure it out eventually, though :D.
