Rivals of Serve

THIS GAME DOESN’T WORK WITH CPUS. IT REQUIRES HUMAN PLAYERS.
PLAY IN PRACTICE MODE IF YOU HAVE NOBODY TO PLAY WITH.

Rivals of Serve is a game mode inspired by the Melee Volleyball mod.

Play in a singles or doubles game of Volleyball.

The objective is to keep the ball from touching the ground on your side of the court while trying to have the ball land on your opponent’s side.
The ball can bounce off the ceiling, walls, and net. The net doesn’t cause fouls or lets and is only there for decoration.

Be careful when hitting the ball because you can only touch the ball 5 times before the opponent touches it; otherwise, you get a foul.

The preferred ruleset is a First to 11, which is accessed by keeping the default stocks at 3 or setting the stock count to 11.
If you wish to play a different ruleset, you can set the stock count to what you desire to score to or open up the Custom Menu.

Stray far from the net if you don’t wish to get hit by the opponent if they have long-ranged attacks, but you don’t have to worry about projectiles or articles coming across the net.
Projectiles and Base Cast articles get destroyed/pushed when they cross the line.

The optional menu is accessed by pressing Shield + Taunt before the Volleyball is in play.
The customization options include Music, Stages, Aether Modifiers, and Randomizing Teams.

Aether Mode puts two random modifiers in play each time a point is scored.

Be careful avoiding hitting your allies because damage does not get reset in between points.

I may add more stages, music, and aether mode modifiers later in future updates.
