Skills
Basically, Skills are used as a fun system of achievements for CHS Hantis. Skills are cool tricks of varying difficulties that can be performed during play. Each Skill has a different point value assigned to it. You earn the points assigned to each Skill by fulfilling the Skill's criteria. For example, in order to earn the points for 'Head Smash', you have to win the point by smashing the ball into the opponents table using a headbutt. You can only earn the points for each Skill once. Points are kept track of on the Members page of the site. Your dues must be paid for you to start accumulating points.
Skill and Point ValueHead Smash
|
DescriptionAchieved by setting yourself up for a smash, but instead of using your hand to strike the finishing blow, follow up with a headbutt.
|
Double Out
|
A Double Out happens when the ball hits both opponents tables consecutively, then hits the ground cleanly. For more information, check the Rules Section.
|
Serve
|
You receive this when you successfully complete a serve and win the point. Easy enough. This is a milestone for all first time players.
|
Epic Serve
|
This serve looks as though the ball flew across the table, barely rising off the table at all. If you achieve this, you have become an excellent server. (Check out the Championship Match in the video section for an example of this serve.)
|
Dribbling
|
The act of dribbling on an opponents table. This is a key move when you desire to set up trick plays and mess with your opponent. (Check the Rule page to see why this is legal.)
|
Tweener
|
The act of hitting the ball between your legs and winning the point. To earn the points you must win because of the tweener. Hard in tennis, even harder in Hantis.
|
Back Shot
|
Achieved by hitting the ball behind your back. Sounds straight forward enough, just remember to tell me how easy this was after you try it.
|
Lucky Dive
|
Hey, who said that all Skills were achieved by having skill? You can do this move by putting your life on the line and diving recklessly for the ball. You earn this by just getting the ball back in play and not sustaining to serious of an injury from doing so.
|
Reverse Slam Dunk
|
Complete this by jumping up and smashing the ball backwards to win the point. Just don't crack your skull on the table or else we'll get disbanded.
|
360 Smash
|
It's just as it sounds. Set yourself up for a smash and pull a 360, taking it out on the ball as you come out of the spin. Airborne or not, its harder to aim than you'd think.
|
This is SPARTA!
|
Achieve this movie tribute by kicking the ball into play while shouting the line that made this move famous.
|
Chest Bump
|
Who said that chest bumps where just for bros? Hit the ball with your chest and win the point to complete this trick. Bros before Hantis. Or was it Hantis before bros?
|
Bicycle Kick
|
If you can do this ridiculously hard soccer move with a tennis ball in the close quarters of the club room and survive to win the point, you will pretty much be known as the god of Hantis.
