Popular Post Hendo Posted February 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2019 aka Tetris Battle Royale. 100 Tetris pieces fall out of a plane..... Actually it's 99 players and it's not quite what I expected from the trailer. What I thought it was going to be was everyone puts down a different piece, but this is 99 people all playing at once and everyone fires garbage at a different person (random, I assume) until that 99 player base gets whittled down to 1. I got 27 out of 99 on my first match, so that's an acceptable first try. Get in a lobby with the Japanese Tetris masters and you'll soon be boned though. Completely free to download for Online subs, no extra purchases as yet, just another Online sub incentive. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 You can choose where to aim your garbage using the right stick. Just managed to finish 6th which I was happy with. I'm not sure why the controls are force mapped to the shitty dpad. I kept getting lots of accidental quick drops from knocking the top button. It's really good though, can see me playing this a lot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HandsomeDead Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Nah, I saw the Quick Look and it gets really fast at the end. More so than I can manage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit Actually, this could work. Teams of three, each person takes a turn to place a brick (or manage who's getting the garbage) last team alive wins. You could even assign roles.

Nabby9 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 First attempt finished 5th, probably will never beat that. Got crazy quick at the end. I can see this being very addictive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimboxy Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 FYI the number in the column is the people you knocked out. I hadn't realised that until watching some streams at lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Well, it Tetris, on the Switch, if this doesn't lure Maf from out of his hiding place then there's no hope we'll see him again :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 Just finished 7th. Can't see me ever finishing much higher than that, the speed at that point is too much for my old eyes and brain. Not sure whether it's a good strategy or not, but I set the attacking to go against people who were attacking you, so every time someone throws something your way, you throw a little bit to everyone who attacked you, once you have stuff to throw.

Jimboxy Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I think I set mine to KOs which I assume sends stuff to people on the verge of being knocked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll want to switch away from attackers occasionally, as if you and your opponent are both set to attackers but one happens to have attacked the other you'll get stuck in a loop constantly fighting each other. If you switch out to another target for a bit you'll break the loop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 I am awful at this, think the best I’ve managed was 53rd ? Never really played Tetris before though...? so that could be why. Also, @Maf where you at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Two great Battle Royales within a week of each other. 2019 is wild. I'm actually awesome at this but it gives me the wrong bricks. The best I've done is 11th. But the time I came 14th I fought my way back from the top and it was the best I think I've ever done at Tetris. Anyone else feel like it's pretty generous with the Long Ones? It's probably the nature of the game. I'm so used to building for big combos but I don't think it's always a good strat for this since its so fast paced. Oh, and this made me sing a Morrisey song to myself so thanks Tetris 99. Weird this was the BR to make me make that connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey_chaser Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 A few games of this last night and it's great - only managed a high of 16 though, and i've always thought of myself as being pretty good at Tetris.
