The Puyo Puyo Tetris demo has been preparing me for this game. I'm currently averaging around 1 win every 20 games, but I have no idea if that's good or bad. I just throw it into the "Attackers" mode and get as many tetrises as I can, since T-spins mystify me. It's super fun when you get like 8 people targeting you and you go ham and knock half of them out.

PSA: Get 100 points in the tournament that is running right now to unlock the gameboy theme, complete with gameboy music and effects. It's pretty great!

I dig the music in both Splatoons! I also like both themes. Maybe I'm just easy to please?

YggiDee posted:Sometimes when I start a new round one of the other players will be... sparkly? Does anyone kow what that is? I wonder if that's why sometimes when I start a match I get targeted by like 6 people? Maybe it tracks to number of KO's in a previous match, or who had the highest finish in their last match?

Invictus is hard and has the side effect of making normal easier to win. Also, the new daily challenges and cosmetics are pretty cool, be sure to check them out!

KingEup posted:Have you won yet? Best I've done in Invictus is 3rd. I'm mostly noting that I rarely get KO's, nobody falls for the bait strategy and the pieces move faster from the start.

raditts posted:No Scrubs mode is pretty fantastic, and all the extra content is great too. Almost makes me want to put the I had a similar experience and was the first out on one game where it took me completely by surprise when I was doing a huge buildup. Also wtf on being one ticket short of a purchase on day one. It would have felt so much better to get one the first day, even if the next one took a few days.

totalnewbie posted:T-spin or bust. It bothers me more than it should that T-spins are worth more than tetrises. They are literally the namesake of the game! T-Spins were a bug that someone took a shining to.

raditts posted: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. Same for the Mario theme. An in-game preview would have been nice.

Tempura Wizard posted: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.

New update added teams mode and I'm not sure how I feel about it because I've been getting crushed all night. There also seems to be password games and you can buy special themes you missed for 30 tickets.

YggiDee posted:Everyone's throwing down in Team Battle right now, so this is probably the best time to go for an Invictus win. If you're willing to accept a mostly-bot game. Which I am. I haven't seen an invictus game that was less than 50% bots since week 1.

KidDynamite posted:i haven't been playing as much but did everyone in regular 99 mode just level the gently caress up? I haven't gotten a single maximus in 2020. I've had the opposite experience for the most part, but certain dates/times it seems like the absolute rawest players congregate and shut me out completely.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:I don't understand... the T-block is 3 tall, but technically two-wide; how the hell do you fit it in somewhere to clear 3 lines at once? The L piece I understand, since the one block that juts out would be at the top, so you wouldn't have to put it down further, but the T-block? How do you get that one bit from the T past what would be the top line you'd be clearing? This is precisely why I dislike t-spins as a mechanic. I can't even get the drat tall piece to fit over a high lip sometimes and the game allows this kind of thing.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Yeah, I just watched that video, and I'll be damned if I can keep track of which button flips my pieces which direction. I don't win 50% like Schlub, but I win about 5-6% without t-spins. I focus on KO's early and build tetris clears as often as possible then, the moment there are 10 players left, I flip to badges and dump everything I can. That's been my most effective strategy. The rate your garbage meter turns into garbage speeds up at the 50 and 10 player marks, so changing targets right at that moment and hitting hard can catch people off guard. With a little luck, you wipe out the guy that has been making all the KO's and now you have an advantage over the remaining players. It's not the best strategy by a mile, but it's simple enough that I can actually do it. e: Also I don't know how to keep track of rotation so I literally only rotate in one direction.

EightFlyingCars posted:It's clockwise and counter-clockwise, so just imagine you're turning the piece like a steering wheel lol i suppose i deserve that i know how the pieces are being rotated, but when i am trying to get a piece flipped to a specific orientation, it is easier for me to process as "1-4 clockwise spins" than "1-2 clockwise OR 1-2 counter-clockwise spins", if that makes sense?
