*It's quite simple, all you gotta do is hide in a bush for most of the match then try to win at the very end.*

If I don't win I'm personally blaming Alex from Nintendo Life specifically

Another good tip when your in a bind and just need a few moments to think is to rapidly spin the current piece. It gives you a few extra seconds to think of your next move

Alex: As they say in Austria, it's surprisingly simple
Me: CEAVE REFERENCE

Great tips, although the main issue I'm having is that I get consistently to the top 20-30 provided 8 people don't target me at the start, but then the blocks (can't remember their proper name - sorry) falling ridiculously fast and the healthy number of junk lines causes me to rapidly make stupid mistakes and ultimately lose. I know at this point it's just a matter of learning to think quicker and keeping on top of junk rows, but it's still annoying..

Tetris is not the only attacks that you can pull of, there's also stuff like tspin doubles or tspin triples, they send more junk lines and it can be really satisfying to pull of

Looks fun. Getting a switch this week so I’ll be playing this :D

1:09 That’s a very coin-less reference

I liked when you said "that's surprisingly simple"

[brotherlylovegaming]

I’ve noticed if I have a couple of badges right around 30 people left then I start getting attacked more. I figure thats when people start dropping and people shift to targeting badges to get a late game advantage.

Thanks, Alex. Those were actually really great tips!

[jedison]

THANK YOU! This is the manual I've been looking for

[Sonicice]

I get 1 badge alot but I lose quicky after.

Guessing the music is in-game, does it have Type B? That was always my favorite.

[SteveNathn]

But do they give out any points for consistently scoring about 25th?

[renaxel]

I haven’t won a game yet, the best I’ve done is come 9th

[AxidoDE]

Judging from that gameplay footage I can say with 99.9% certainty that you won't stand a chance at all, even though you know the basics. :)



Btw, you don't automatically lose, just because you got a chunk of players against you.
Had 11 players against me once and K.O.'d 3 of them with counters (which seem to get more effective if multiple players target you). I don't know what exactly happened to the others, but they stopped bothering me after a while as well.

[LukeToons]

If you target who’s targeting you then go right off of them it will make them stop targeting you because it silently telling the other person”if I do not target you you will not target me”.

Exactly the content I needed today. If I win, I'll reimburse Alex for the money he's poured into this game

[chungusmogus]

Played for 14 hours and won 2 games... I don't think I'll come in the top 999 haha...
