So, I haven't been able to check out the new updates to this yet, and I skimmed the Direct (didn't have time to really watch it )... what things are new and free, and what things cost money? I know the single player thing is $10, but that was available a while ago.

They're also harder to stack for than Tetrises and carry a lot more risk.

YggiDee posted:It might be related to your placement? I know if you've been doing well in previous games you show up as a 'sparkly' opponent to other players. What I don't know is if other players are deliberately targeting sparklies or if they're more likely to be chosen by the 'random' option. If your average place over the last ten games is tenth place or above, that's when you get the sparkly intro. I think the game does prioritize you when other players are doing random targeting, but maybe that's bullshit too.

Also t-spins are fun, they feel like cheating

totalnewbie posted:T-spin or bust. I meant that in the general sense of "playing tetris" and not necessarily literally getting tetrises, but T-spins are the one thing I can't seem to get a hang of. I've always hit a mental wall of intentionally building with T-spins in mind, even when watching other people do it.

If you're looking for a theme to spend tickets on, do not make it the Zelda one. Not unless you want some weird lovely rendition of the Zelda theme and some hot garbage sound effects that I have never heard anything remotely similar to in any Zelda game. I hope the other ones are better. I've also had like ten straight games of the aforementioned "20 lines out of loving nowhere" so between those two things I think I need to put this game down for a bit.

The Donkey Kong one is good. No regrets.

Does anyone know if I keep my progress from the download version if I buy the physical release, or if I can use the DLC from the physical release in the download version? I'm a weirdo who likes physical games and I want to get it

Your save file and the DLC are account bound so it shouldn't matter which way you launch the main program

Edit: I’m wrong. I still like the Zelda theme though. I like how it shows the grave icons for defeated players and I like the Death Mountain remix when it’s the final 10.

The normal mode feels like slow motion after playing a lot of Invictus.

I can confirm for the curious that the other themes (beyond the Nintendo ones) appear to have their own music and sound effects. I unlocked "Elegant" yesterday, and the thematic mismatch when playing in Invicutus is never not amusing. It's a cutesy relaxing theme with cute sound effects, which dulls the pure stress of playing Invictus.

Has anyone said whether the Maximus Cups will repeat (or if the themes will be available though other means)? I didn't own a Switch until the third event and the first two themes both sound amazing

Yeah, I kind of really want that GB skin/theme, but didn't get it the first time around.

This one is pretty cool, but now I'm upset that not only can this guy set up tspins effortlessly, but he's better at running the house on this game while casually loving around to the music than I will ever be in several lifetimes at maximum effort

This is why I'm glad we have Invictus mode. Stunt players and long-time competitive Tetris folk and Wumbo have a nightmare arena all to themselves and the rest of us scrubs can duke it out in the regular murder zone.

I technically qualify for Invictus mode but going in there is like being boiled alive.

I've unlocked an icon for finishing in the top 10 in invictus 20 times. My average of the last 10 games is 9 so I sparkle in invictus mode now. Still no freaking win

Invictus mode is weirdly relaxing in that I have no expectations of ever winning it so who cares how I do

Finally got my first Tetris Maximus last night! Invictus takes a lot longer to start a match (at least at 2am it does) but I love how fast it is off the bat

The Treasure Map theme is bad (at least when it comes to board legibility). Avoid. Learn from my mistakes. That said, three themes down, 8(?) to go!

I think the bold colors and clean lines make Splatoon the best theme. (Bonus points for best music.) Honestly, I found the Mario theme disappointing enough that it made me not care about grinding tickets.

I just unlocked the toy blocks theme and I definitely recommend it. Simple enough design, not too busy, and the music is great

I love the Mario theme. I love the kick rear end castle theme when it gets to the last 10.

Just got my first theme, and I picked the Zelda one. I love it! These missions and themes are the perfect way to entice me to play everyday, aside from loving the game. Sometimes I get kind of tired of it, but I can usually knock out these missions within 30 minutes every day EDIT: I found this video to be extremely helpful in properly setting up T-spins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqyulht3wfM Rupert Buttermilk fucked around with this message at 14:18 on Sep 19, 2019 |
