One tip is I’d really recommend switching to control type B since it’s easier to target in the late game with the left stick since you can just stall for time with continuous spins.

Need to find out how to setup t spin doubles

Yeah, learning tspin setups seem like it’ll be important if you want to consistently win at high level.

Will try this today and report. I always forget about this mechanic even though I know Tetris games have had it for ages.

Tetris 99 is the first Nintendo Online feature worth paying for.

Online NES games are cool too but, yeah, this is the first killer app. I love this game.

I did the tape mod on my pro controller which worked well for Puyo Tetris in the office, but misdrops are 100% what keeps screwing me over in top ten. Is there a better fix for that yet, or is there a different controller that's preferred for high-level Tetris? The joycons with separated buttons is obviously ideal for avoiding accidental hard drops, but the reason I bought a pro controller in the first place was because the face button placement on the right side was giving me tendonitis when playing Puyo Tetris. :(

You’d probably be better of playing with separated joycons with the right one positioned in more of a way to not cause you pain. I’ve seen some players play Tetris 99 with the right joycon in the left hand and the left joycon in the right hand. Maybe try that as well.

So a new strategy has appeared where high-level players can take advantage of the KO auto targeting option other players use and the attackers setting to slaughter almost up to half the players in a round.

I wonder if he’s using a pro controller with a modded dpad.

sensitivity option for hard dropping, apparently to deal with the issues of the pro controller's crap dpad.

That’s cool and I can’t wait to try it. I was playing joycons in grip, just for this game, because of the dpad issues.

That reminds me; am I the only one who, for the most part, is fine with the joycons in the joycon holder? Granted, I don't have any other controllers available to me yet, probably going to pick up an 8bitdo SNES30 Pro when the one with the grips is released, but for now, it's just two joycons, and I actually find it fairly comfortable for mostly everything to play with the joycons in the holder/shell.

It’s fine for me and was my primary way of playing docked until just like a month ago. I only got a pro because it was heavily discounted and I could also use it as a pc controller.

The new low sensitivity hard drop option is nice but the pro controller dpad is still pretty inadequate for faster gameplay.

Is there any reason to ever target badges? My typical strategy is to keep it on KOs and switch to attacker when I’m being targeted by more than 2 players at once.

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.

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 :(

They'll probably return someday and be purchasable with tickets. I'd be surprised otherwise.

Huh I hadn't seen "free-to-start" before, I guess that's a step for honesty.

The game is pretty generous about handing out its paid currency. I haven’t been playing it a ton but haven’t run out yet.

I feel like my lazy tactic of setting target to KO and only occasionally switching to attackers when I’m being targeted a lot isn’t cutting it anymore.

I’m sure they’ll bring it back someday. It’s cool but it’s kinda distracting to play with seriously. Having that color really helps when it gets more intense.

I hope they implement a random theme mode. I think it would be more fun to have your theme randomly chosen (from the one's you've unlocked) each game

That would be cool. I hope they keep adding more as well. Challenges and unlocks really made me play this game a lot more.

Oh god I haven't played in over a year, has the playing field in general become more or less skilled?

This is your best chance to play with more average skilled people. More hardcore people play when there isn’t a theme event going on.
