Introduction
Welcome to Yooyuball...version 3! The game is pretty much the same as last year with the Altador Cup main game -- yooyuball, the center of the Altador Cup. You will battle one of the other 16 teams, each from an individual world, in a tournament to win the treasured Altador Cup. You will be playing as one team throughout the entire tournament to win the Cup. The game has changed a bit, mostly in graphics, since the last cup so the guide is new and fresh. ;)

Controls & Set-Up
Most of the controls in the game can be useless, depending on how you play. I don't use half of them, and personally, I find it the best and easiest way not to make things more complicated than they are by using unnecessary controls.
The mouse is your number one, most important control. You will guide your players by moving your mouse. Your left-click mouse button is for launching the ball (whether it would be to another one of your players or into the goal). Technically, and usually if you play well, this is all you will ever need.
  OR   |
| These can toggle between players. I find this sort of pointless except for the fact it makes the game more realistic. You can easily play the game with using only one character at a time. |
 OR  |
| This de-selects a player. The selected player will have a different color circle under it compared to the other players which will all be the same color. Also not exactly important to use in my mind. |
 (Shift Key) |
| This one I actually recommend using! I promise. xD The shift key moves all of your players (except for the selected player) back to their original positions. Use this often. Having your players scattered among the opponent's side can clutter the field and make scoring goals more difficult. |
That's all for controls! When you start your game you are met with a number of options. Choose left to right. Most who read left to right will find playing left to right easier. 3+1 works best for me and will work best for this guide. Players from each team will come out in a time-wasting ritual, and then it's time to play!
Yooyu balls
Er... just kidding. There's one more thing you need to know before playing. The ball you play with isn't a conventional ball. Technically it's not a ball at all... it's a Yooyu! There are seven different types of yooyus and each of them will react differently to being thrown.
 | The normal Yooyu ball is not all that special. It j just goes forward at a normal speed, and of course forward. You'll probably see this guy the most. |
 | The fire moves very fast. It zooms among the court very fast, making scoring easier. |
 | The snow Yooyu ball moves very slowly and is more difficult to score with. |
 | The faerie Yooyu ball is a mischievous ball that will curves/bends when you throw it. It can be tricky to master, but there is a guide below. |
 | The mutant Yooyu ball is another difficult one to work with because how it will act is a toss up. It can act as a fire, snow, faerie, or darigan yooyu ball. |
 | The robot will explode in mere seconds unless you get it into the goal. |
 | The darigan Yooyu ball will move in the opposite direction that you throw it in. It can be difficult if you don't know the angles. |
Game Play
The game has started! Finally. First thing you need to know is getting the ball first. It's pretty simple. The Yooyu will pop up from the ground. Start clicking in between its ears (doesn't matter which Yooyu it is) like shown below, and you should be able to get the ball pretty easily.
Now it's time to the game play and where and how to use the different types of yooyu balls. These aren't exact ways to get the ball in the goal, but they point you in the right direction. If you keep practicing the way that the images below show, you will eventually be able to get the ball into the goal without mistakes.

Up, around, and score. Pretty simple -- the normal yooyu is as cooperative as it sounds, so you have not much to worry about.

Pretty much the same as the normal Yooyu, except you can shoot from farther away because the fire Yooyu is faster. Make sure it doesn't get into your opponent's hands, especially on your side. It makes it too easy for them to score.

You will have to get close to the goalie on this one, because the snow Yooyu doesn't move fast... at all. It can be frustrating.

The faerie Yooyu is annoying. Like the snow Yooyu, you have to get close to the goalie. Just go straight and forward, and shoot. You want the Yooyu to curve upwards as opposed to downwards.
The mutant Yooyu can act like any other Yooyu ball. Which is annoying. Just try the fire/normal yooyu ball approach.
For the Robot Yooyu try the snow yooyu ball approach and cross your fingers for a goal.

Try shooting the darigan Yooyu in the direction shown above from the point of the white lines shown above.
Tips
- Use the Shift key often. (yes, I know I've already said this xD)
- It's easy to steal the ball. So if your opponent gets it, make sure they don't keep it. Just ram into the front of them and you should easily get the ball.
- Make sure that your opponent never gets the fire ball, especially on the left side. That makes goal making too easy for them.
- If you lose a point, that point doesn't get added up to the opposing team's. It just gets subtracted from the amount of goals you have made in the current game.
- Press the space bar in between goals to skip the animation.
- The wagging tails and waving hairs are so annoying. And this non-tip/mini-rant is probably annoying too. xD Sorry.
