Submission Text Full Submission Page
This submission is for Venice Beach Volleyball, an unlicensed NES game that is a pretty bare-bones rendition of the sport. It's doubles, there are 4 teams, and you have to beat the other 3 teams.
The default setting is 5 points per match, so we leave it there. We use the hardest difficulty and don't need to change the scoring to rally point (which is where you can score a point without being on the serve whereas in normal modes you have to be serving to get points.) so this goes by pretty quickly.
Luckily, there is a serve that is a guaranteed Ace. By jumping at the right time and serving on the final possible frame before it hits the ground, the AI will never return it and we blow through the 3 matches in a little more than 2 minutes.

Review/Snipe: I was able to get this to sync with ROM Venice Beach Volleyball (AVE) [!].nes which is the same hash. While this run does beat the games of volleyball quicly by serving only ace serves, unfortunately, I was able to find a much faster way to do this than what is presented in this submission. Instead of serving on the last possible frame, if one serves on the first possible frame, an ace serve occurs as well. I have submitted a run of this improvement. I'm sorry, ShesChardcore. I'd recommend cancelling this submission.
