Good to see the Tetris 99 events are back in swing, with the recent Animal Crossing one and now this Xenoblade one!

Prove you're really feeling it with the Tetris 99 14th MAXIMUS CUP, featuring Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition! Earn at least 100 event points in the Tetris 99 mode from July 3, 12am PT to July 6, 11:59pm PT to unlock the Tetris 99 theme!

Yuck, the logo in the background image of the theme makes this feel like they just used an existing computer wallpaper. Glad to see these events continuing though!

Man the aggro sound effect when being targeted is perfect and so is the music, absolutely my favorite T99 theme so far and the only one that exists starting July 3, cant wait.

NICE

Heard Time to Fight and was so mad, but luckily it's not just Time to Fight, with Mechanical Rhythm and You Will Know Our Names in there too. Definitely playing for this theme.

Gotta prove that you can clear about the mobs before getting the privilege to battle a unique monster. Which means I better get used to Time to Fight.

Time to finally retire the Fire Emblem theme

Now the only way the Xenoblade theme is leaving is if we get a Persona 5 theme

Imagine Rivers in the Desert playing for the top ten.

Nice music, but not a fan of the theme itself.

I dream of a day where they will allow you to different music on different backgrounds.

Mechanical Rhythm is a better track than You Will Know Our Names and should be the final phase music.

If they ever do one for Xenoblade 2, I demand all the noises are voice clips from Captain Padraig:
Get Targeted: "Think you can take me!"
Get a KO "YER DONE!"
Lose: "Don't forget me!"

Very nice. I always look forward to these little competitions. The music sounds great, and I like the solid blocks for this theme.

Every time you get a Tetris it should say "Now it's Reyn time!" and if you knock out another player it should say, "Man, what a bunch of jokahs!"

No "One Who Gets in Our Way/An Obstacle in Our Path"????

At least I can get "You Will Know Our Names", "Time to Fight" can easily bounce

Nice. Though after the trailer I think I'll probably unlock it and switch back to something else. It reminds me of the Fire Emblem theme which I also didn't like because the music just seemed...ill fitting? Can't quite describe it, but it really didn't get me in the mood to play tetris. I basically unlocked it and waited for the event to end before playing again.

Gonna go out on a limb and say that this is probably one of the worst unlockable themes they've done. Probably won't be using this one going forward. It's so meeeehh

Mechanical Rhythm is a good motivator.

I made it to #6, best I've ever done

Aaaaand immediately after I get #95, I hate it here

Got my theme after playing a few rounds this morning, best finish was third. I've gotten a bit out of practice and joycon drift isn't helping the cause.
