Today came Tetris Effect Connected, with it's Multiplayer "Connected" Mode, where 1-3 Players play against a Boss-AI - which can be set to it'S regular difficulty, OR an insane Difficulty called "Maniac"

Will this Mode be added to the leaderboards as well - and if yes, will the Categories be only every boss Group (Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, etc.) or will it be an All Bosses Run, or maybe even both? And if players don't play with groups of 3, what is the limit for Bots.

I tried it Solo on Stage 2 with a 7 and 8 Bot, but i made the Boss-AI to a Maniac, managed to defeat the first 2 of the Pack of 3, but sadly topped out in the end and the Bots failed shortly after.

I will look into a connected mode leaderboards in the next few days, thank you for the idea

I'll try the Maniac Solo Run later today maybe and see if it is Possible with better bots (not stage 10)

Yesterday i tested The connected Mode as a Solo Challenge WITH the Bosses being on Maniac Difficulty - Stage 1 and 2 were pretty easy, but once i hit Stage 3, i got lots of problems and died over and over (the bots too, which were set to level 9)

Edit: I'm rather a mediocer player when it comes to speed and skill

Is this Thread not the same one that I started on release date? Anyways...

When me and a friend played the first three stages with a 10-AI as P3 it did like 80% of the Zonemeter and I think thats kinda lame for players like me who are in the bottom of the leaderboard. I think an AI should not be able to carry you and should especially not give you an advantage over 70% of the playerbase. If its better for a player to play with two bots instead of two real players it makes the category obsolete. That's why I would prefer a 7, 8 or 9 AI. Yes, its also kind of a punishment for players without connections to other runners, but I would prefer this instead of just having a leaderboard full of solo-runs that got carried by a good AI/RNG.

My idea would be: An All-Areas Run as a Main-Category and Single-Area Runs as Misc.-Runs. In both the AI should be on a maximum of level 8 or three real players.

I like the idea of IL runs and full mode runs with seperate categories for cpu and real players, however im not sure what to do about 1 cpu and 2 real players

I don't think that we should seperate Solo and 3-Player Runs. Thats the reason why I wanted only an Level 7 or 8 CPU. I think that sould be fair.

Just seperate IL and Full-Mode.

alright, once i complete connected mode i'll set up a leaderboard to test it out and make changes from there
