[Tetris Effect: Connected] Zone Battle: Doremy vs. uyeshota (07-02-2021, PC)

good god that was super long for a FT10. welcome to the highest level of zone battle, something that i've been eager to upload for a long time now.
this was the finals of the TE:C Winter 2021 Zone Battle tournament. you can find the bracket here: tinyurl.com/jg...
used to think that my peak skill is on Puyo Puyo Tetris; can now safely say that i'm the strongest on Tetris Effect: Connected instead. :]

[@Stitastic]

I love how TE kinda teaches you not to be scared of being at the top of your board because of the zone mechanic

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I kind of learned that years ago, I don't get nervous unless it's within the top 2 or 3 lines; this one is exceptionally forgiving though, where you can maneuver your tetriminos much higher than the normal top, and they're still visible unlike most other versions

[@CsQ_RandomRepository]

Watching Doremy push Uyeshota to a panic downstack is just insane.

[@FT029]

doremy misdropping tspins by spinning too early is a common trend. the pieces go down too slow for his brain... also the survival from both players by tactically using the zone is so impressive. 18:50 incredibly smart donation from doremy

he sometimes play on tetr.io in which he can adjust the ARR and the SDF

Oh shut up you mindless idiot.

This is THE video to show people when it comes to competitive TE:C. Can't believe it took almost a whole hour.

[@unyjustice9940]

Well luckily it wasn't one game of this, 19 matches first to 10 wins

THE best modern tetris game to watch at a high level, hands down

Half the time idk what's goin on, but I know this is no easy feat

Am I only person that listens to these vids in the background? ZONE Battle's theme and sound effects are so, so good

Just in case you're wondering, the song is "Falls" by Hydelic. It sounds so cool with the sound effects though!

[@CaboozledPie]

yeah of all the players i fought on TE:C you were the one guy that i was just like "nope i'm not winning this one that's a wrap" most other players i had some modicum of a chance against

[@famouskoifish]

36:15 Ah, so it appears TE:C has a cheese race mode.

[@paulsd9255]

Purify was a training mode!

[@diegomastro5681]

I love how every misdrop ends up being tsd or tst setup

[@FunZies.]

Can someone please tell me what exactly it takes to build the zone meter, please? Can you choose to fill you meter instead of send garbage to your oponent? (Although, that doesn't appear to be the case.) It's just that it doesn't seem as though the zone meter fills consistently with attacks...

[@PragmaticAntithesis]

Clear 6 lines to get one zone charge, and 24 to get max zone. The quality of the line clears doesn't matter.

[@ventuskitsune4257]

@@PragmaticAntithesis I think it's 10 lines per zone charge, not 6. But indeed, the quality does not matter.

[@Misty_FT]

@@ventuskitsune4257 It's both, actually. In phase 1 at the start of the game it takes 6 like clears to fill one segment of zone. After someone reaches 20k points to reach phase 2 it's 8, and after 60k points for phase 3 it's 10.

41:33 doremy embraces his dark side

[@dazc9965]

to be fair, they both decided to fall to the temptation at least once in this match, doremy even managed to make two pretty smart tsd's out of it

[@violet4794]

I think after 40 minutes straight of high pressure tetris we can let them both off for once :)

[@deltadex7]

[@coolkidtheultimategamer4270]

I don’t get it I don’t play Tetris a lot what happened

[@dazc9965]

@@coolkidtheultimategamer4270 at the timestamp, doremy started doing a "four-wide," where you stack up the pieces so that four of the columns stay empty (the ones on the right in doremy's case). it's kind of a controversial set-up in the tetris community because it allows you to spam single-line combos and can be really overpowered with minimal skill relatively. usually Doremy avoids four-wides in his videos because of the above reason, hence "embracing his dark side"

[@minalinsky24]

i feel that i can safely say, that this FT10 set is the absolute peak of TE:C zone battle, and i dont think that anything in the future could possibly top it. the strongest gameplay and knowledge from both doremy, and uyeshota, and to take it to a tiebreaker, as well as a good number of seperate highlights from certain rounds, this legitimately has it all

[@bustin1946]

no misdrops just happy tspin setups

[@lizard450]

Oh no there were misdrops like dormey going for the pc opener in the 2nd round.

Uyeshota wasn't letting Doremy win the first one without a fight, he went down like a champion.

[@GoldieMethrans]

What a visual treat! Hopefully TE:C continues to grow more, so we can get more eye candy like this. 👏

[@thecelestialstarship]

0:27 Was that a 180° rotation in a guideline game what Or was this just internet lag

[@NonJohns]

TE is by far the most immersive tetris I've ever watched

[@Swordkirby9999]

Let me see if I understand the Zone Mechanic through observation. -You have a limited amount of time to clear as many lines as possible -Lines you clear are sent to the bottom, pushing uncleared lines with holes upwards. -The lines are not actually cleared until the Zone is over, at which point any attack power is used to counter upcoming garbage while the rest is sent to your opponent -The attack power sent relates to how many garbage lines you just sent your opponent -The attack power is determined not only by how many lines you cleared, but how you did so (Tetris and T-Spins would give more attack power, even if you clear the same amount of lines) -If you place a piece above the well and a new piece can't spawn in, (the condition you would normally lose) you lose the Zone, and any lines you made are cleared. -The more times you use it in a match, the faster it will drain. -Perfectris is done by clearing either 19 or all 20 possible lines while in the Zone, effectively filling the board as much as physically possible How close am I?

[@moonlightnymph7975]

Sounds about right!!!

[@mintpaintome]

perfectris is 18 and 19 lines, 20 lines is ultimatris. the zone decay speed is based on how long the game has been going on divided into three phases. Everything else sounds right

[@goggleassistant]

hi, i know im 2 years late but the zone duration is dictated on what phase you are in a match, phases will activate on certain lines cleared thresholds (i forgot how many lines exactly but think of it as when you clear 100 lines, you move up a phase) there are 3 phases, being on a higher phase means, your garbage holes gets more random and your zone duration shortens. however, you were mostly right on the other stuff

[@JonathanAufderheide-ln8pr]

@@goggleassistant Actually, it's how many points you get. Phase 2 is at 20,000 points, and phase 3 is at 60,000.

And I thought *I* loved t-spining (and I do, so much so I made it part of my name), but the amount you set up and the speed you set them up and pull them off it's just next level; feel like it's deserving of at *least* a sub :p

Very impressive video! I can tell neither of you are completely used to the controls in some ways because of all the mis-drops, but it’s probably not easy being able to play so many different tetris games!

Lag

[@TheProGamerMC20]

its a 90 degree clockwise turn. ⬜️ 🟪 ⬜️⬜️🟪🟪 ⬜️ 🟪 The t piece gets turned into: ⬜️ ⬜️⬜️🟪 ⬜️🟪🟪🟪 The point where the t piece is rotated is highlighted in red: ⬜️ 🟪 ⬜️⬜️🟥🟪 ⬜️ 🟪 ---------------------- ⬜️ ⬜️⬜️🟥 ⬜️🟪🟪🟪 Then, the line gets cleared, resulting in: ⬜️ ⬜️⬜️🟥 Or just: ⬜️ ⬜️⬜️🟪 So they insert a J piece: ⬜️🟦🟦🟦 ⬜️⬜️🟪🟦 And then this sets it up for the "all clear". Hope this helps you understand!

yes that spins possible, but the reason why he stacked to right is because you need to leave a space open for the hinge for the block to turn.
