Choosing to attack the top players is probably a smarter move if you consider yourself really GOOD at the game, but otherwise, it's asking to possibly get attacked back in full force. Each time you knock someone out yourself, if you look in the bottom right of your match area you'll notice some badges appearing as trophies from your enemies. This is based on the amount of knockouts they currently have in the match. Selecting badges is choosing the target the top players in the match. But the more players targeting you, the more you will get out of this option as your grey blocks are spread out across them. This could be one player, it could be two, it could be the whole damn board. The name might be a little misleading, but selecting Attackers is choosing to target those that are targeting you and basically entering into a VS match. Selecting Attackers allows you to get on the defensive. Everyone likes getting kills right? This is the best choice to rack them up, but might not be the best choice at all times, especially if you're getting attacked. Targeting K.O's doesn't mean you're targeting already knocked out players - that wouldn't make sense - what it means is you're targeting foes close to being knocked out. It's obviously a good place to start the game unless you spot someone that tickles your fancy ahead of time, which is why the left analog exists. Randoms is where the game starts your selection and it's as the name says: you are targeting a random opponent. Each of these options changes who you are targeting your grey blocks at, and being able to switch these options and understand why you would change them is important to Tetris 99. Using the right analog stick you can switch between four different options: Randoms, K.O's, Badges and Attackers. Pick a foe on the board from any position and that's who you'll be sending blocks flying at. If you so desire to manually attack certain foes, you can by simply moving the left analog stick around. Here are some tips and explanations for Tetris 99. The answer to all those is, it depends and yes.
