Did they change the game weighting? I've had several games in a row with 4v4 Fall Balls into a Royal Fumble finale.

e: and then a 19-player Fall Mountain. No chance starting from the third row :smith:

Just picked this up last night. Haven't won but it's heaps of fun.

Piling on to agree the at the tail modes suck. The problem is that there is no point doing anything until there is 20-30 secs left. They need to change it so you get x points per second your team has a tail, not who finishes with it.

So much pontial for game modes to and the game seems to be designed to pretty simple from a level design perspective. They can basically add any game or obstacle from Mario Party, Wipeout, Takeshis Castle, or Gladiators and you have an instant hit. Not to mention the variations you could have in races.

The Tail Grab Final is literally the worst game I have ever played in my life and you will never ever convince me that there aren't cheaters with speed-hacks.

There's not even a point. If I get that one I just sit there and wait for the timer to run out. I've never even come close to anything resembling any sort of progress or effectiveness in that bullshit.

If any Fall Guys Devs are reading this, please remove that abomination of a final.

I WON!!! At fall mountain. I knew when it was just a 6-person game it was my time.

I think most of the games in this are a lot of fun except the tail games like I mentioned before. Those are the only ones I just really hate and just don't feel any reward even when I win, although they could be good with some tweaking. Some are a bit flawed like the aforementioned Fall Mountain and I guess fruit guessing sucks but at least it doesn't suck in the sense you're gonna get whacked for no reason. So it skates by my death stare.

Egg Scramble you gotta do your high percentage stuff and pick a team to sabotage quickly. Learn to time those jumps out of the hole which are annoying. Even more important than getting eggs in your own goal is getting them out of the bottom team's hole. It's like middle school you just don't wanna be on the bottom of the food chain.

I feel like over half the games you could just hook up to a random AI and get the same result. Player control barely outweighs randomness as a winning factor. The race modes are clearly the most well thought-out and balanced. Team games have no skill calibration so are always heavily lopsided so end up being a matter of sabotaging the weaker of the lower two which might actually be alright. This does not apply to the soccer game, unfortunately whoever has less players usually suffers. Though if your whole team recognizes the value of defense you will probably do well.

Overall, this game makes me way more salty than it has any right to.

There are absolutely cheaters in the game but it sounds like someone needs to get good

The only possible "stalemate" in the final is 1 on 1, which is pretty rare in first place, and tail bearer needs to play perfect to not get caught

In other cases it's about predicting movements and perfecting routes - it's basically Dead By Daylight.

Egg Scramble is easy. Just find the currently losing team (endeavour not to be the losing team) and sit in their nest and toss eggs out until the timer runs out.

A good way to not lose at egg scramble is if you and 2-3 other dudes from your team stand on the stairs out from your nest and grab anyone with the wrong team colors who tries to jump out of your egg jail. They live there now. They are your eggs.
This is gonna be a fun game for a month or so, unless the devs have a ridiculous pipeline for new maps or have some degree of randomized obstacle courses. But man it's great right now, especially when you realize you're not gonna win and start doing spite moves loke grabbing dudes before jumps or keeping a see saw on edge.

Honestly, from a game dev perspective, I think the most difficult part of making a map is trying to come up with a good idea. Like, I'm 10000% positive I could re-create a functional replica of Door Dash in like an hour. Slime Climb has a lot more going on with moving parts and slime zones, but still not too difficult. Depending on how big their team is, it's genuinely possible they could start cranking out stages

It's a minor thing, but i'd love a patch fix for if/when you either qualify or get knocked out, the camera automatically defaults to the people in your party first so you can watch their progression.

All the people on reddit and here complaining about see saw with "do people not understand basic physics? If you idiots all stand one side it's gonna tip the see saw", gimme a break.

Everything else on these courses is mechanical. It's not an insane assumption to initially think these are mechanical see saws that move independently.

I had honestly never got placed in the back row of See Saw before and holy poo poo now I know what everyones complaining about. I just couldn't do anything because of how skewed all the levers were, it's such a massive bottleneck where you can't move at all. I got stuck for so long I just quit the round and then next round it was SeeSaw again, but I got front row again, and I just cruised full-speed to an easy 2nd place finish

sometimes you get hosed over on see saw but its always the first or second game so it doesnt really matter, theyre just meatgrinders to thin the pack

Haven't used my controller this much in a while. Got to quit slamming the thumbstick or I'm gonna get a bruise.

The other players are more dangerous than the course. Got eliminated SO many times because the &#$^ physics engine translates 'bump into player' as 'ragdoll helplessly for 2-3 seconds.' Really drat annoying. Can't even figure out how to do it intentionally.

Wish there was a custom mode, for setting up smaller tournaments. And a practice mode, so I can actually learn the dang crown race hill thingy, instead of some frontline dude snagging it while I'm halfway up.

Had a Lucioball soccer match go from a 1-3 deficit to a 4-3 last-second victory. That was sweet.

Closest I've gotten to winning was a 3rd place Hexagone finish. (Another map I want to practice; getting jump timing down on that would make it much easier.)

I'm pretty sure if you get touched at all in midair you just ragdoll automatically. It can be frustrating but if you can't handle this then the game is not gonna be for you. The best preventative measure for this is to just get good with the dive. It seems to just preemptively ragdoll you forward, but you recover almost immediately. Makes it much less disruptive when you're trying to move in mobs of players, but sometimes you just get bounced around anyway. Minimizing what other people can do to you seems to be the name of the game as far as optimizing your movement.

My new favourite thing on slime climb is pushing people off whilst they're on the rollers. It's so much easier than pushing them off at the end, and they have to go back to do a decent chunk of the course again. Got about half a dozen people off the last single roller before the slime got high enough for me to continue.

i literally saw fifteen people stuck on the same seesaw for upwards of a minuet because they kept swinging it one way than the other too fast
