Aimed Shots are a shooting technique in Mario Strikers: Battle League. Aiming your shot makes it harder for the Goal Keeper to block and stop your shot. Read on to learn more about aimed shots and find out how to perform them!

How to Do an Aimed Shot

Tilt the Left Stick to Aim

How to do an Aimed Shot	Hold A Button and tilt the Left Stick

You can aim the ball by charging up to shoot and choosing the ball's direction using the Left Control Stick. The ball will automatically be shot in that direction once you let go of the shoot button. It also makes the ball curve, making it harder for the goalie to get a hold of it!

Note that the ball's direction will be more accurate depending on how high the character's Technique stat is.

Use Characters with High Technique Base Stats

Mario	Luigi	Peach

Characters with high Technique benefit more when curving a shot, as they will have better accuracy and can place the ball on more hard-to-defend spots. You can even equip them with Gear that adds Technique to increase it further!

Cancel the Shot to Evade Opponents

Doing an aimed shot takes time, and you might get tackled before you can even kick the ball. You can cancel it if needed by pressing the B to pass the ball or the R button to dodge. You might also get to a better position and score by doing so!
