● Match Momentum gauge
Match Momentum builds up based on playing shots that fit your player's style, which is different from player to
player (for example, a "STRONG BACKHAND" player's Match Momentum gauge will build up when they hit
strong, backhand shots. The player's abilities will improve as the gauge rises, and once it is at MAX the Super Shot
button can be pressed to perform a Super Shot in exchange for emptying the gauge. After the gauge has reached
MAX, it will gradually decrease, returning to "0" once a set time has passed.
