Knowing Your Gameplay Styles and Mastering Them All

1.       GAMEPLAY STYLES

Well, so much about the basics. Most of you perhaps already know what I’ve been talking about. Now, we proceed to the more interesting part, the main chunk of this guide, that is – the various gameplay styles used in Tetris Battle. 


Chances are, you are also a DotA Player. And that’s no coincidence. Dota and Tetris Battle share a lot of things in common than you probably think. In DotA, there’s a big difference between league gaming and just public gaming, or better known as pubgaming. In a serious DotA match, especially one where something is at stake, various gameplays and strategies become more evident compared to casual matches. Some prefer to push early. Some want it slow and late. Others want it aggressive, while some prefer playing safe. Individually speaking, there are various ways of playing your hero. You can be a pusher, a support, or a carry. In Tetris battle, the same concept applies – there is also no single style of playing.

You can be the 2-wider, which is very easy and convenient.

Or, you may want to employ the 3-wide strategy.

If you’re good in finding ways to combo and spinning Tetriminos in place, the 4-wide is the perfect technique for you – a little bit complicated yet virtually unbeatable if executed successfully.

Then, there’s the bomb squad gaming. Avoid knockouts and send lines to your foe at the same time, leaving him scratching his or her head despite the number of his or her lines sent.

Good at estimates and predictions? Have an exceptional logic? Then, be the perfect clearer.

You may want to be the ST or ZT stacker, or better known as the Unlimited T-Spin gameplay. Leave the audience in awe as you perform those back-to-back T-spin doubles indefinitely, allowing you to have an approximate minimum of 100 lines sent.

Or, you can be the freestyler, making yourself unpredictable for your opponent and keeping him guessing what you’ll be doing next.  

And a lot more. On my succeeding posts, we will be discussing each strategy extensively, discover their pros and cons, know how to do them and counter them, and apply them in your actual game.
