    • The various kinds of Near-Sighted Glasses reward players for staying close to the middle of the court, which makes it more difficult to dodge or counter any of the opponents’ balls. A few of them even apply a penalty for staying away from the center. Some character abilities, such as Otto’s Fiery Intimidation, have similar effects.
