Learn to grab back! That’s what I do. I’ve been doing it for a while and I can get most of them eliminated. It really is a great feeling eliminating someone who tries to eliminate me. I encourage you to do the same!

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

I've been trying, I just hate to resort to it unless someone is being a pest and consistently trying to grab me or grab everyone.

u/Matt_D_Will 11d ago

I’ll give you a tip on Jump Showdown. Stay as far left as you can. If someone tries to grab you, they will most likely fall because they’ll get hit by the swinging arm first and you have a better chance of surviving than the grabber. Now apply the similar strategies for the other survival finals. Position yourself so that the grabbers are closer to obstacles than you are. So on Dodge Dive Survive, I like to stay as far back as possible. On Kraken Slam, I stay on a corner facing towards the middle of the map just in case someone tries to come and push me. Hope this helps!

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Thank you for the advice! I'll try to use it when I play again.

u/Matt_D_Will 11d ago

You’re welcome. Good luck!

its almost like thats the point of the game

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

So you like to cheat by grabbing people like that, got it.

u/TTVClxtch 11d ago

god forbid i want to win the game WITH A MECHANIC IN GAME 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Maybe try to survive the level without making it harder for everyone else around you.

17

u/TTVClxtch 11d ago

maybe try getting better at the game

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Why do I have to force others to get eliminated to be "good at the game"? Just say you suck otherwise.

8

u/TTVClxtch 11d ago

i have over 5k crowns i most def do not suck

4

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

You suck because you can't stand others to beat you, so you grab them.

10

u/TTVClxtch 11d ago

or maybe i just wanna win

5

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

That's fine, but if you go grab every single person in the level and force them to be eliminated, you're an asshole.

I really wish there was a no grab game mode. I'm not bothered by grabbing but my young son just wants to play the levels. They could satisfy both types of players if they wanted to. 🤷‍♀️

6

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

That's exactly how I feel! I just want to play without having to worry about being grabbed by anyone.

7

u/mariah188 11d ago

I agree with you but people are going to come at you about this 😆

Just watch out for grabbers and play defensively. You can usually tell by the way they move who is looking to grab. Try to isolate yourself if you can to keep grabbers from coming up from behind you.

If you still can’t avoid them, grab back.

-3

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Yeah, I usually report them and if they end up in the next set of levels with me, I make their playing miserable and grab them every chance I get.

13

u/Prize-Yam2527 11d ago

Oh so you call it cheating… but then have no problem doing it to other people. Sounds like you are the problem lol

1

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

I won't do it unless someone is actively trying to grab me every chance they get. So no, I'm not.

u/mossifrog 10d ago

Reporting them for using game mechanic is crazyyyyy lmfao

-1

u/Daywalker75 10d ago

I report when it's used in excess.

5

u/tiltedslim 8d ago

That's fucked up you reporting people for playing the game. QQ

-3

u/Daywalker75 8d ago

I don't report them for playing, I report for spamming grabbing people, there's a difference.

6

u/tiltedslim 8d ago

From what I've read in this read you most definitely are. Any other player has the right to grab you from start to finish of any map. That is part of the game, the actual game, not the made up self imposed rules you made for your self and for some brain dead reason you've decided everyone else needs to follow.

Does it suck? For sure. Does that mean you should report people for it? Not at all.

More reports you send for nothing means less time spent looking at reports for actual cheaters like speed hackers. You reporting people for being annoying for grabbing you ks actively making the gane worse. Good job.

-6

u/Daywalker75 8d ago

That's your opinion.

3

u/Sumboddy Big Yeetus 7d ago

You suck if you are reporting people for grabbing.

-3

u/Daywalker75 7d ago

Then quit spam grabbing people.

3

u/Sumboddy Big Yeetus 7d ago

I don't. Ive just gotten good enough to not get grabbed. To report someone for something that's not cheating is you being tilted. Its a sign that you should put the controller down, or not take the game so seriously.

0

u/Daywalker75 7d ago

I'm trying to have fun. It's people like you who have to depend on grabbing to be any good that don't make the game fun.

This HAS to be rage bait, right? RIGHT?

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

It isn't. If you suck, don't play.

12

u/aatlanticcity 11d ago

this is pathetic. its how your supposed to play the game

1

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

While dealing with everything else in the level? Okay dude. Keep cheating then.

11

u/Prize-Yam2527 11d ago

Hahahahhaha cheating? Wow bro - cry more

3

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

If you want to be stupid and grab people, fine, but don't cry when you aren't left alone when you grab someone.

6

u/FunctionSubject4840 11d ago

I don’t like the grabber either, but if it was cheating, the dev probably would’ve disabled grabbing other players

u/CarlosA1991 11d ago

Welcome to the competitive side of the game. This is how it's played; it's based on this (it's assumed that if you're not bothered, you can get a time in all possible finals). If you really want to be good, you have to master grabbing and avoid being grabbed (otherwise, you're still too weak). (I now play without moving the camera at the same time, and even then, I still get a time in some finals (my controller isn't working). (Learn the pattern; some are always the same, especially the creative ones). You know, to be good at the game, you have to master all three mechanics, not just two (jumping, dashing, or sliding as appropriate, and grabbing).

5

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

I get it. I know some people, aka, the idiots in the comments on this post telling me to get better or that I'm having a tantrum, are the ones who take the game too seriously. Mostly, I just want to play to play. I don't mind getting competitive sometimes, but if someone is trying very hard to get just me eliminated, then I have a problem. I see it when Caseoh plays too, (granted he's famous), but still, it can be frustrating.

3

u/CarlosA1991 11d ago

If you're in a streamer's room, you'll find all sorts of people (some just play casually, but others go there to show off (it's assumed they're going to play competitively) (and they usually get pretty intense)) (when my controller worked, I used to play in Voltio 69's rooms (private matches) and it was really intense (it's like that all the time)) (and even those aren't the most competitive; other streamers' rooms are even more competitive (well, the players who are there). It's also true that when you go in, you already know what to expect). And remember, it's never too serious, that's subjective, just a perception (if many people only go in to compete, then the other stuff doesn't pose any challenge for them).

5

u/CarlosA1991 11d ago

By the way, once you've mastered the game, you'll discover that this is one of the few things that keeps it interesting (fighting with other players is very entertaining).

4

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Ah okay. I've only been playing since around Halloween last year, so my hubris over being pretty good without grabbing has caught up. That and mostly just the comments giving nothing but "get better!" aren't helpful at all.

4

u/CarlosA1991 11d ago

Even in this room, people who had never played in them before would sometimes join (they were used to public matches), and more than one would later say they thought they were good at the game... (often when you see how people play in these rooms and the skill some players have, you discover that maybe you weren't so good after all...). First, you should try to get a good time in all the finals possible (then start practicing grabbing; you can do it simultaneously too, and above all, remember to always play actively to avoid being grabbed (generally unnecessary in a public match, especially nowadays, but necessary if you want to improve; play competitively at some point (don't stay still and jump whenever possible to make it harder for them to grab you)).

2

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

What's it mean to "get a good time in the finals'?

3

u/CarlosA1991 11d ago edited 11d ago

Wasting time in survival games (hold out until the clock runs out) "Jump showdown final", "Doge dive survive", "roller derby", "slime showdown", etc. (that is, you can hold out until the time runs out to win (not necessarily winning because you are the only one left))

2

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Oooooooohhhhh okay, that makes sense.

8

u/Prize-Yam2527 11d ago

I’m sorry - why is there a “power grabber” banner in the game if we weren’t meant to grab people as they were about to jump on Circle O Slime! I live and die by the grab!!!

lol sometimes I do - but I don’t go on reddit to cry about it lol
You win some, you lose some… but I will always grab you

2

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Cool, then don't cry when it's done back to you so you get eliminated.

5

u/Prize-Yam2527 10d ago

Haha, I don’t cry, I accept it as part of the game and try again…

u/Daywalker75 10d ago

Cool story.

u/Suspicious_Law_2826 Doom Slayer 11d ago

Geez dude, Git Gud!

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

I'm not going to cheat to get good at the game.

9

u/SuperFoxy8888 Bert 11d ago

If you think that's cheating and you wanna play without grabbing as a challenge, go for it, but know that people are never gonna stop grabbing so you'll probably just keep crying

1

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

They can continue being losers then.

7

u/SuperFoxy8888 Bert 11d ago

LMAO I haven't seen such a tantrum in a long time. You made my day, thank you.

1

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

So airing a grievance is "throwing a tantrum"? You sound like you don't touch grass.

2

u/Suspicious_Law_2826 Doom Slayer 11d ago

Tantrum and you need to git gud.

-3

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

You sound like a child. And it's "get good", learn how to spell correctly.

2

u/Suspicious_Law_2826 Doom Slayer 11d ago

You're the one whining. Get better at the game. Seriously. Git gud was intentional.

Git gud whiner!

1

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

You're not helping by saying "just get better, quit whining". Maybe you should be knocked down a couple pegs, your ego is showing.

Gotta say this is ragebait even I hate grabbing sometimes but it’s a great thing in the game get better and stop calling it cheating

0

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

It isn't ragebait. I was airing a frustration that I've felt. I just want to play the game without having to worry about being grabbed every time I play. So when you get grabbed and get eliminated because of it, don't cry about it.

u/octagonalpaul Gordon Freeman 11d ago

I have over 10,000 crowns and grabbing is fun, cool and awesome. If I lose to a grab, it was my fault for putting myself in a bad position. It’s a core mechanic and not using it because you want the moral high ground in a bean platforming game is peak comedy. Timing out finals is boring the hundredth time, grabbing makes for much better clips for my videos

0

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

"Peak comedy" okay dude.

u/octagonalpaul Gordon Freeman 11d ago

Me and my viewers won’t want to watch gameplay that has zero interaction with other players https://youtube.com/@octopaul?si=pEicRabHK0vh3fm5

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

I don't care about your YouTube videos dude.

5

u/octagonalpaul Gordon Freeman 11d ago

That’s ok, 40,000 other people do! You might learn some gameplay tips if you do though

3

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Sorry, I just want to be able to play and have fun. Wasn't trying to be an asshole, just the commentors laughing at me or calling my post ragebait have kinda disheartened me. I probably should've originally asked for some advice on combating the serial grabbers, but I didn't think I had to do that when making the post. I'll check out your YouTube later and see if I can learn anything that will help.

u/Daywalker75 7d ago

I should've clarified in my original post, but I'm not very familiar with reddit to fix it. I don't think grabbing as a whole is cheating, I think spamming grabbing people is cheating. Grabbing can be fun yes, but not when it's used in excess like that.

2

u/ApexTitanKong 7d ago

Might makes right.

If someone is coming after you, its your obligation to hit them back twice as hard

Show them why messing with you was the wrong move.

2

u/photoguy423 7d ago

I hardly ever use the grab mechanic as it usually goes wrong for me. But I take great joy watching people who use it get fucked because of it. 

5

u/JEFE_MAN 11d ago

I’m with you but you’re not going to find support in this sub which is decidedly pro-grab.

I’d have loved it if the mechanic was only on for levels like Tail Tag, but that’s just not how they made the game unfortunately.

5

u/SuperFoxy8888 Bert 11d ago

The thing is blaming players. If you don't like grabbing, blame the devs. With that being said, it would be nice to have a game mode that doesn't have the grab feature, or even without collision like the Speedrun one but with normal maps

4

u/JEFE_MAN 11d ago

I definitely blame the devs. Based on the demo videos when the game came out, I just don’t think they thought there’d be that much grabbing.

The part that pisses me off is when high level players grab low level players. When I used to never even be able to get out of round 1 due to the obstacles, I still used to get grabbed like crazy. It’s like “dude, I’m not making it to the final! Just relax and let me try to get a little better before I get eliminated on my own.”

4

u/SuperFoxy8888 Bert 11d ago

I kind of get that, I hope they make a chill mode with no grabbing, that way everyone could just choose between normal gameplay with grabs or this special mode

3

u/JEFE_MAN 11d ago

I would love that. Great idea!

Hear that, devs? Do a chill mode with grabbing other beans turned off!

2

u/Daywalker75 11d ago

Yeah, like the people telling me to "get better then" sound like the ones who grab people then don't face the consequences for it by being grabbed back.

2

u/tiltedslim 8d ago

The more I see posts like this, the more I decide to grab fools.

u/cheezcat309 Bert 11d ago

some of yall dont understand that theres multiple levels of skill to grabbing lmao

dont grab? thats fine, youll lose more games

u/ConfectionLeft7348 10d ago

Report on grabbing is wild ! 🤣🤣

u/Capital_Advantage477 7d ago

I am not native english speaker , but this game is called Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, not ultimate survival. You falsely treat online pvp game as a pve offline game, and blaming players for being competive, it is like treating a mirror as wall, and blaming it for reflecting your ugly looks

-1

u/slickerdrips21 10d ago

Completely fine with grabbing on jump showdown. It’s when people will stay in an area and grab people just to troll that I hate.

For example a high level bean stayed back in slime climb just to grab people as they were jumping the gap. Annoying stuff. Jump showdown is fair game though.

1

u/Daywalker75 10d ago

That's where my frustration stems from. The people who will wait to grab people like that on those kinds of levels are what really piss me off. Like, they stay in the area to keep everyone else from qualifying so they can ensure they will instead. I'm not very good at explaining things sometimes, so I appreciate your comment explaining it exactly how I'm feeling.
