Not sure if anyone has posted this before, but here's a cool badminton flash game: http://dev.revoke.ca/flash/badminton/ It's not particularly accurate (as far as rules go anyway) but it's good fun and very addictive ! Thanks to cliff from the NZ Badminton Forum for finding it! Oh and you can control the direction of your shots by holding the arrow key and the shot key before you hit it. EDIT: It seems to run faster if you download it (click the download link at the bottom of the page) - more like a real game of badminton (in the speed of it at least).
haha, interesting game, but why does he serve to the wrong side?? lost 21-0 the first time i tried it!!
Well I did about 5 jump smashes in a row just to win 1 point. And although the ball died on the other side and I got the serve, my score was still 0! The jump smashes are awesome though, normal human beings would never be able to perform so many, so high in a row. Haha! I can only dream about even doing one.
Yes, it's really easy to score actually. You can score easily 2 ways, and the 3rd way, though harder is the most fun. Easy scoring: 1) Jump serve and push the right arrow "-->" to serve deep and the opponent can never return the serve. 2) When you are in a rally just keep pushing your opponent deep, he will returner shorter and shorter. Finally, do a deep jump smash and you'll win the point. Not so easy but fun: Do #2 but instead of smashing deep, smash angle when the opponent returns very short.
Other tactics short serve attacking clear get behind the shuttle wait in the net then jump and kill it off -----------------------------------------
Lol, yeah as I said - the rules are messed up . But it's still fun all the same (just so long as you don't jump smash serve )!
Hehe yeah (although it ruins the fun of the game if you do it), and I just found out you can double hit - although it's pretty hard, you still get a point if you win the rally .
