How can it be looked down upon?? Doesn´t the person making the stacks risk getting attacked while trying to build them up in the first place? C4W or centre 4 wide is looked down on in a way because you can set it up without worrying about damage too much in PPT (you only get knocked out if the centre of your playing field is rocketed out the screen). In T99 although it requires skill to build a stack quickly, once you’ve done it, you have time to stall (rotate blocks several times to stop them locking) and essentially chill while still sending out max damage and never being pushed up the screen. Some games like this go on for aaaages and it comes down to not making mistakes. It’s considered more boring and less skilful than constantly building T Spins under pressure. I wouldn’t say there is any consensus in T99 against 4 widing at all, just that in some tournaments (eg the streamer Tetrium does a 12 hour stream each month) you’re discouraged to do it (in his case by a place penalty). From a viewer’s perspective, in PPT, watching two C4W players against each other would be more boring than other tactics. I guess it’s like in some fighting games when they disallow a character because they have an overly powerful yet boring strategy. There is one player for instance, Baseballboy, who does mind blowing spin setups which I think are super exciting to watch. In T99 there is an Israeli player I think called Ei Lara who is also a creative T Spin set up player. You can learn from these players whereas the ceiling for learning and enjoyment of watching 4 widing is a bit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir stiff_one Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 I still recommend practicing combos though, totally. I was rubbish at them, couldn’t get the 15 combo badge on T99, and getting to that was fun. I’ve managed an 18 combo in a T99 Invictus game.

What’s curious to me is there appear to be two tracks (at least, it’s almost three hours long and I haven’t heard it all yet!) that don’t belong to any stage that I recognize - ‘Here’ and ‘Like Never Before’. Can anyone place them? Maybe they are just radically different? Also a bit miffed that the retro Tetris theme is not included in the OST. That’s a real banger when it gets going. Can this be purchased or is it only available for streaming? edit - nvm, found it on Bandcamp - bought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m at around 600,000 rotations and I’ve been playing every weekend since it launched - reached level 100 well over a year ago, I can’t imagine how much you would have to play to have got the million rotations legitimately already.

rafaqat Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I've started playing this again. No other song for me beats Connected. Anyway, I'm shit at Tetris.

rafaqat Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’ve got a bit mad on Tetris. Been playing this one more or less everyday now. Forest Dawn is lovely with the rain and thunder going on. Currently stuck at Celebration. Too fast when I get to 20 lines. Amazing on headphones. on my laptop I have the Tetri.io website up and I’ve got Tetris on my ps vita too if I’m away from laptop. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used sideloaded Virtual Desktop and then just launched Tetris EFfect in Steam Vr from the epic games launcher. Used a PS4 controller plugged into PC by USB - didn't need any configuration. Both have 14 day / 2hour usage refund so easy to buy both and try. the PC version seemed crisper as well as having more particles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdood Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I tried this on VR last night for the first time.. lovely! Hated using the oculus controllers though... Next time I'm back on my DS4.. need that dpad, man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qazimod Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Quote WHAT IS TETRIS® EFFECT: CONNECTED? The ultimate incarnation of the award-winning puzzle game TETRIS® EFFECT, coming to the Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Windows 10 (PC, Windows Store), at Xbox Series X launch this holiday, and as a free update to all other existing versions of Tetris Effect—PS4, Epic Games Store, and Oculus Quest—in Summer 2021. TETRIS® EFFECT: CONNECTED adds an all-new robust multiplayer expansion to the huge variety of addictive and innovative single-player modes that Tetris Effect is known for. Connect and play with or against each other in all-new modes like “Zone Battle,” which shakes up traditional 1-on-1 Tetris gameplay via the time-stopping Zone mechanic, or try the innovative co-op of “Connected” mode, where up to three players can literally connect their Tetris playfields together and play as one, as they work together to take down a series of increasingly-challenging CPU-controlled bosses. Whether you’re looking for co-op or competitive play, local or online multiplayer, or prefer the almost meditative purity of single-player’s 30+ wondrous stages and 10+ addictive modes, TETRIS® EFFECT: CONNECTED is the ultimate incarnation of the ultimate puzzle game, with options to fit every player and any mood. https://www.tetriseffect.game/connected/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonman Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 I have been given a PSVR by a friend, and bought Tetris on a recommendation. One of the best games I have ever played. Fuses a bit of Rez, with classic tetris. Stunning visuals, gameplay, and music. Just amazing. I wish this were also on Switch, in TATE mode. <3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
