They source their data from Giant Bomb's wiki, which has an entry already so must be a delay somewhere in getting updated.

I just won! Wow. It wasn't some silly fluke, either. I was going 1-on-1 with the final guy for what seemed like minutes. Crazy.
Had a similar experience. Took almost as long 1 on 1 than it took clearing out the other 97. Blocks were falling fast as fuck near the end, but managed to get 2 tetrisses in a row and than it was just a matter of time before the other dude messed up. Victory felt crazy sweet.I just won! Wow.

I start random, switch to ko after a while or when I have tetrisses lined up. If I am under attack I go into counteroffensive. It can be very effective when your being dogpiled. Never targeted badges for now.
I just can't believe how good both this and Apex are, and that they both dropped the day they were announced... Both free, no fanfare. What a time to be alive.
I just bought one for Christmas. Second time using it and it's unplayable.
So far I'm liking it a lot. Haven't won any matches yet but I KO'd someone. I went into this game blind without knowing how the combat works so the first match I played I was so confused. All I heard was these gunshot/explosion sounds and my board getting stacked with grey blocks. I think I was being targeted by multiple people, I felt like Murphy at the beginning of RoboCop when he gets blasted by everyone.
I did it! Didn't even realize it happened because it was so intense after top 10. Feels great.
There needs to be an unranked mode because I'm level 15 and my brother is getting destroyed because he's using my profile and not used to a ton of people attacking him due to the high level lol
Highest I've gotten was 2nd two times and lots of top ten finishes but no #1

I have the game downloaded to my SD card, and yet my Switch says that it's storing around 300MB on the internal memory as "update data". I know save files are always on the internal memory, but it's not that, so what the heck could it be? Usually all update data would go to the SD card by default, and the game hasn't even had any updates yet.
You're genius and should be hired by Nintendo as a producer.
If there is a classic game that will work as a perfect battle royale game by introducing a map with a scrolling map, this is 'Balloon Fight'.
Just had a 20-KO victory.
Sometimes I feel like being multi-targeted at the start of the match is advantageous, especially if none of those players are experts. I think I scored about 5 KOs with an opening 4-wide against those attackers, and the power boost I got from that was enough to steamroll through the rest of the match by building cleanly, never letting up on the pace, and wiping out garbage through Tetrises since everyone with Badge targeting had locked onto me by that point.

Yeah, this is one of the greatest things of this game.
To win is a 50% of skill playing Tetris.
And a 50% of skills creating a strategy against other players, by using the targeting system.
Normally, only by using a good strategy, changing the target of your attacks depending on the current situation and by not making mistakes, it's easy to reach the TOP 10.
And once in the TOP 10, only those with skills in Tetris will be able to reach the TOP 3 or a victory.
Normally, I struggle in this last part :)
I reached 2nd last night. Never been good at Tetris and I'm not exactly sure what I did right. I do know that I switched my targets depending on the situation.
It definitely ramps up when you hit about 25 people left. I can fairly consistently get top 10 now, but going any farther than that is a STRUGGLE.
Found it. 38kills
Wumbotize nows has a winratio of more than 86%. Insane.
Whew, actually managed to win. 9 K.O.s, and somehow got a T-Spin Mini when I can barely remember how to do one. Was definitely feeling the heat near the end when I was healthy and so few people left. Very intense on the final two when I realized I actually had a chance. At that point I was playing defense more than anything else, and I guess my opponent wasn't in a great situation. First Battle Royale I've ever won.
4 wide is so good lol I've been rebuilding and spamming them all the way to the top 10. The damage output becomes so good with the badge boosts that you don't have to care about targeting or getting targeted anymore.
Would you mind breaking down what you mean?
I finally just got to play. 3rd place my first game. 4th place my second game. Then like 30+ the next six. I have no idea what the "strategy" is, and what the "damage boosts" mean.
I'm legit targeted by like 5 or 6 people at the very beginning of a match sometimes. I'll get 8+ lines dumped on me even if I get 3 Tetris in a row within the first minute.
Would love some guidance!
I'm still poor at rebuilding c4w from a messy field, but then I realized that s4w is viable for a long time because you're just not likely to have many other competent players targeting you until the late game.
EDIT: I think the biggest handicap for 4w in this game is that it's impossible to see the bottom of the stack clearly when you have more than half a dozen people targeting you lol.
S2PID actually narrates this tutorial. :V

So if like...5 people are targeting you, and you attack your attackers, when you get a tetris does that send it at all 5 people?
ayup. destroy those who are out to harm you with great prejudice.
Yes. You get a power boost when you're targeting multiple attackers, although it's not so large that it completely duplicates all of your attack to each target.
This game is legitimately addicting once you start playing; I wonder how many people are going to end up purchasing NSO or a Switch just for this game. People are big Tetris fans.
My older brother is thinking of finally getting NSO primarily just for this game. It's like the equivalent of Rocket League to PSN back when that launched. If only there could be a new Tetris 99 or Rocket League released every month for every platform.
