Power Shots

Power shots are the main part of Head Soccer. They are the most reliable ways to score, and they are what distinguishhes good characters, from bad characters. Power shots are different for each character, and some characters have multiple.

Strategy
Power shots are extremely useful, even if the power shot itself isn't that good, because it can be used to instatly block an opponents power shot. Power shots shouldn't always be used as soon as you get them. They should be saved to have the final shot in power rallies. Power rallies are when both players have a series where each player has a power shot before there is a goal. If you opponent has a good shot like Irelands, dont immediately use you egyptian's shot, but wait to use it to block Ireland, therefor blocking your opponents and also having the opportunity to score. The person that has the last power shot usually scores.

Types
There are multple types of power shots in head soccer, each with their own pluses and minuses. Some power shots may fall into multiple categories. A few shots might not fall into any category as they are so unique (like France).

Straight Line
Straight line power shots are usually the worst as they are extremely easy to block and counter. They are the ones, obviously, that travel in a straigh line like Cameroon or Valentine. The plus to these is that most of them start in front of you, meaning that if you get close enough to the goal, the ball will start in the goal.

Ground Shots
These are shots that go on the ground such as Italy's and Nigeria's. The minus to these is that they are usually easy to be countered, since they are right on the ground where the defenders foot is. They do have better plusses though. Most of them cannot be deflected meaning that if they don't counter it then it is almost for sure a goal.

Downward Slanting
These are the shots that start above the character and shoot downward. Examples are Brazil and China's second. Thesee power shots are usually pretty good, because they are extremely hard to counter and deflect. However, since these start above the goal and slant down they can't be used from anywhere on the field like Straight line shots. They have to be used a certain distance away from the goal, but also be close enough to the goal so that it wont go into the ground.

Destructive
Destructive power shots are ones that deal heavy damage to the defender, such as Greece with the javelins and Asura with the fists. The advantage of these is that they deal massive damage to the defender knocking of any costumes and making it harder to jump up and deflect the ball. The down side is that since these are all Straight lines they are still easy to deflect and counter if the defender is any good.

Arieal Shots
Arieal shots are shots that start from the top of the screen such as the U.K.'s shot and Spain's shot. These are an extention of Downward slanting as all of these are aimed down towards the goal. They have the same disadvantage that they have to be used from a certain spot on the field. They are also hard to counter, but also have a higher percentage of going straight into the goal as they angle more downwards.

Delay Shots
These are shots that either move slowly or don't shoot right away such as Argentina and the Netherlands. Their advantage is that a lot of people will jump early making for a direct goal, but their disadvantage is that if the defender knows to jump later they don't give that much of an advantage.

Grab Shots
Grab shots are ones that pull the defender back once it hits them such as Mexico's and Z's. These are good, because they give you a lot of time while the defender is being pulled back to go ahead and score. Their disadvantage however, is that these shots won't go directly into the goal, and you will always have to work in order to get a goal off of these.

Multi-Shoots
This group is limited to Spain and Germany as it is so powerful. Thes are the power ups that shoot multiple balls all of which are capable of scoring. The huge advantage is that each ball can score meaning that these can't be blocked by a power shot. The disadvantage though is that if not all of the balls are on target then they are easy to block and don't really have an after-effect.
