How to beat speedy net campers in standard?

The normal reply is always use lobs, but in standard the speedy characters can always do a trickshot to still return it. They seem to be always able to catch up with my shots by either running or doing trickshots, so the normal counters don't really work for me.

Anyone have any tips?

Well you still use lob to push them back then try to outplay them after that. Cant really say more considering I dont know his playstyle or what character youre using but try to push them back and pressure with charged shots. Maybe try lobbing on one corner then drop shotting on the opposite.

Lob them let them Trickshot then dropshot corner them, they'll come to net and then lob them again, they'll do the same, repeat except do two dropshot s in a row and they'll back trick thinking you'll lob.

Just got to mind fuck them. If your predictable with lob and drop them they'll Trickshot just as you hit it at net and even gain power.

This this this -- watch your opponent, if they start moving before you hit the ball, then they are in pattern mode and you can punish them

I played against a Yoshi player in a semifinal and lost. But it was one hell of a game. You want to lob, drop, flat. Switch between those and let the mind-games begin.
