I do that in Overwatch Deathmatch and Survival Heroes, didn't think it would be that way with Tetris, but it is a Battle Royal, so...

Right As I read this he said it

Alejandro Novielli Thought?

This tetris is an abomination.

*thought, and no, never.

smesh doggo exactly lmao who targets someone Immediately gets 10 lines cuz he cleared one Then doesn’t swap away

1:22 - Right Board, 2nd Row, 6th Column

yea true that! i'm aware of this strategy, i always switched out to random for few sec if i see some fireworks with 10 garbage are sent to me! that's crazy

People on Badge trying to steal all his badges so they can get the multiplier for themselves

Probably thought it was from someone different, I don't know.

In those few seconds he already made them near death

Because they are already dead

@@thegenerate3730 damn dude you have an incredible sense of comedy! I wish I was as sophisticated as you so I could say r/wooosh for no reason!

Timestamp?

I mean, if you get sent 20 lines out of nowhere, you’re probably going to get KO’d unless you have a full board ready to dish that back out.

smesh doggo yeah, as soon as I switch targets and then the red line goes up I’m like “nope” and switch back lol

just watch failboat's video "Tetris 99 but help me"

​@@SodiumOverdose hi sodium

It's keeping his stack high so more people target him, and he targets attackers to send lines to as many people as he can.

Lol yeah pretty much. You have to be pretty good to do this strategy

The game lets you target people in different ways. Having it set to KO will go after the players that are the closest to dying. Having it set to attackers will send a line each line you clear to those that target you. Building up your blocks to the point of you being the closest to die will get you targeted by a bunch of people wanting to score kills early. Combining that with attacking attackers will let you send a bunch of blocks to all the people attacking you. I have never played the game so I'm not entirely sure that this is how it works. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

@@benjaminolsson2162 Thanks for the explanations :) he's still too fast x)

I believe you also get a junk multiplier depending on how many people are targeting you to make it fairer to the person getting sniped by all 98 other contestants at the start of the game, lol. Meaning, anyone foolish enough to attack him in this defensive HELL will get a straight-up deluge of junk. You're right though, a normal Tetris player would take a long time to be as fast as Tafo, so I'd suggest going a couple lines lower than his towers are until you're very confident.

He's intentionally setting up his blocks really high so he can bait people who are targeting easy KOs, then switching his target mode to his attackers and blasting them with garbage.

@@warriorcatsofmysteryclan2240 A.k.a., baiting, because people think he'll die quick and thus take the bait. I also wonder if he sends more lines stacking so close to the top.

w H a ?

Yes, ppl don't know how to play the game yet so it's free candy for us master baiters

Lmao

That can be because you'll switch onto someone who has multiple attackers so they're trash will be boosted

And then the person you switch to sends 15 more lines and then you switch again. Then that dude sends another 12 and then you die.

it's because there's no tutorial at all, which is a bad move by the devs

TheMadman2045 what a Wyatt, come on man

Undercover Wyatt acting like a true opportunist baiting all the Susans into the Rorschach web.

This man's so overclocked he doesn't even need to go radio silence

this thread right here, this is the perfect thread.

At the end he really went full opportunist though

Oh my god this comment. Also when did the Wyatt thing get introduced

@@Hab2320 It tells you in the game tutorial.

Puyo Puyo Tetris is pretty decent at ranking you with similar skill level, sadly its like £35

@Eoin Doyle More like "I have a job, a life, and other interests outside of Tetris."

Nathan Heath cool thing about Tetris 99 (for newer players esp) is stuff like this where there’s playing the game and then there’s _playing the game_

Same here, mate. I still have to try this but this game revived my love for Tetris again. I even clean the dust of my Tetris DS to play on the go.

I've played almost 300 games and only won 2 haha..

I’m in the same boat. Only problem I’m having is that as soon as I get into a groove and feel like I’m figuring the game out I get dumped on.

My personal best third place but I got wrecked by both other players clearing their boards at the same time while attacking me. Rip

What? Ahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahjahaha now i hear it

Frick, now I hear it

it seems relatively safe considering blocks drop very slowly in the early game and if enough people target you clearing a single line is enough to get rid of anything they throw at you

You obviously can't make mistakes, but when you send out that much stuff at once it seems impossible for other people's garbage to matter. I guarantee those people targeting him were sending garbage, but it was all getting cleared and sent back at them.

Its really not high risk at all, as far as you are being target by multiple ppl you can stay there with 0 risk.

The only risk is if you have 1 or 2 really good players targeting you or 4 above average players targeting you.

The meta should be (don't use KO mode when you could get baited) Obviously at top 10, there isn't enough people to make gaming KO mode players worth it, so trying to kill someone weak with it pretty good. Edit: actually, just switch attackers as soon as you get sent 10 or so lines at once, regardless of mode, you have targeted someone who is already being massively targeted, and fighting back, and you don't want to fight anyone so empowered.

I honestly don't know if it is a stupid or brilliant that this game actually has a meta.

There's no reason to be in KO mode if you're not ready to send garbage. I think that's the mistake that a lot of players are making, either switching to KO too early or staying in it after they've emptied their board.

I mean, just enter ko made when sending the trash and then switch out of it

Fastest sender in the West right here

its ballsy and risky af, you ned guts and balls of steel to pull it off

The egg has ascended

Jonathan Weng I was confused while reading this but figured it out, anyone who doesn’t understand, he means the joy cons

Zack Bernal-Silva Play tetris then

Same lmao

It's definitely a glitch, the first day T99 came out most people were complaining about it and people continue to complain about it.

*you should watch wumbo play tetris*
