What do you guys like to do at the start of the game? Do you do your power or power up the paddle. Lately, I have been doing my power first, but it changes.

I like to start building up power bars to use for attacks and charging my paddle, the game starts off moving too slow to be able to do any real harm to your opponent-- save the power bars for when things heat up

Often it depends of your oppenent, and the level you're playing. Some levels you can get the ball up on top and bouncing happily with just a few power bars, which should leave you with enough to charge a special.
If I'm playing Mini-T, I try to keep the specials lined up, so my oppenent doesn't have any time to rest. FYI, if you charge multiple Blow specials in a row, they will get sent one after another - there is no wastage.
With Ducky it's a different story. I prefer to get a large store of power bars, and then release as many ducks as I can (preferably more than 5). This results in a "duck jam" right in the center, near the bottom of the screen. Then I follow up with ducks as I get the power bars. If the game lasts long enough, and if you have enough spare power bars, this will make you oppenent's screen one big duck pond, and they will fall, yes, yes they will. fear the duck.
For Bombastic, use 'em whenever you have a good number of power bars (halfway up is nice). Charge specials in succession, so that your oppenent gets flooded with bombs. This strategy worked much better in earlier betas, but Bombastic seems to have been neutered a bit since then.
Ioni is really only effective (against me anyway) in batches of two or three - I can still function with only one batch of flowers, but more then that and I'm flying blind. Which isn't actually that hard, since you can bounce the ball straight up and down the left and right sides pretty easily. Just make sure to give the ball a good whack, other wise it'll go to slow, and then you will fall, yes, yes you will.
Well, that's all for now folks, since this has kind of turned in to an essay on the pops special powers!

Not really much of a strategy, but I've found that the ball's initial speed is way too slow for me. I like to keep the paddle way down the bottom of the screen, then click to release the ball when it says "Go." Then, as soon as the ball is released, I slam the paddle upwards, and hit the ball before it crosses the dotted line. Instant speed.

I saw a blind carpenter shouting "One day I'll see it all," and then he put down his hammer and saw.
I usually use a little bit of energy right off the bat to take out the lowest bricks, then save some of the rest for ducks.

If it's a level with little brick I usually use the special power and then try to clear all blocks
