So disregard most of the strategy I said in my last post.

With that previous strategy, I thought I was doing pretty good. I was getting a win probably 25-35% of the games. I felt a lot of times the losses were beyond my control because of how fast the game was and white and red jammers spawning in bad locations.

But now, with the current strategy, I'm winning probably 80-85% of the games.

The new tips:
-Never use Standard or Stronger. Ever.
-Use Speed almost all the time. Train is fine when it's safe, mainly early game.
-Use Counter. This way you aren't really picking fights.
-Stall as much as possible. Never eat a pellet, no matter how early in the game, until you are forced. You want the Round # to be as low as possible. It doesn't matter what your speed is. Try to clear the first 2 boards, but there is no rush whatsoever. I win most games at Speed 2 or 3.
-The best stall tactic: Don't eat full trains. Nibble at them. Eat 1 ghost, then back out, then eat 1 ghost, then back out, etc. The slow down animation you create each time you eat one is crucial to stalling the game and adds up big time. When everyone else's board is moving at lightning speed, you aren't. You are able to plan routes through red jammers much easier.

This still takes skill of course, but it feels a bit different than before. Like a lot of battle royale games, I get disappointed when the stall tactic is clearly superior to anything. However, I'm glad that I spent so much time playing this like an action game, because whether or not other high ranked people are doing this (they probably are), I'm glad that I am used to playing the lightning speed boards, because I feel that's helped me a lot.


Obviously I don't win 100% of the time, but I did manage to do this.

What I'm particularly proud of, is that for 3 consecutive games, I beat the #1 ranked Pac-Man player in the final 2.

This strategy works. If any of you guys still play this, try it out and let me know.
