Mario Tennis Aces

yeah the same bones ... but without all the muscle mass that makes up for that power ...

yeah, not the same, no wonder he is defense. Not the same case as Petey either.
 
and you know all those differently coloured yoshi's in open with extremely different appearances that make them have all different play types. Yellow is definitely the most powerful colour while shades of red are canonically full of technique.

That being said, lots of characters could be reasoned to fit into multiple different categories so they'll just do whatever they feel like with them. It's not like the amount of characters in each type has been completely even in any other Tennis game.
 
ok for 1. It would have been incredibly pointless to have the colored Yoshi's be 1 type only so obviously the switched them up.

2. there has never been this incredible gap of character types , there's already 5 power characters. And the most similar scenario to this was Mario Tennis 64 with 5 technical characters and it was just as ridiculous.

if anything they filled the category once again and they aren't gonna make it to 6 based on info and leaks and logic.

I'll just have to wait a bit more to see how it plays out but as for now it doesn't seem that im incorrect from what i have gathered.

that one treehouse tumblr thing about defensive characters said:
What do these two characters have in common? That’s right… Long limbs! Waluigi and Bowser Jr. (or his Koopa Clown Car, rather) use their extendable arms to strategically block, attack, or gra—wait, sorry, wrong game. They use their long arms to return all kinds of shots! It’s tough to hit a ball out of reach for these folks.

Not to mention that Petey is huge, his body shape is perfect for defense.

There's multiple characters that we don't know the categories for thanks to the datamine and almost all of them don't seem like they'll fall into the power type so the ridiculous type gap that you're assuming will occur won't exist in the final roster even if a potentially playable Petey does end up as Power. It's unlikely they'll spread those remaining characters evenly across each class as well so there will always be a category with fewer options (All-Around generally) and one with more (Power in this game).
 
Boom Boom might be playable. I mean, the game's been datamined. I showed it in a video I posted some days ago.
 
Waluigi’s trick shot is him moonwalking. Cool! I always love seeing new animations for him.
 
Adventure Mode gameplay.
We now have a name for the evil racquet: Lucien.
 
Also Special Shots (putting under a spoiler tab just in case):
 
My god that racket really is the infinity gauntlet.

Also that has to be the most generic background for anything this series has had yet, so much so that it actually makes me laugh since we are talking about a TENNIS RACKET.

It's almost DDR Mario Mix levels of dumb.
