Oh many I've been wanting some more variety in final rounds for a long time. That alone makes Squad mode sound amazing

You haven't LIVED until you've played 4v4 Jinxed final round. Honestly it's probably my favourite new S4 thing (and that's saying something).
You said crown shards are a possibility, will the crown shards awarded add up to one crown or will it be more?
60 crown shards = 1 crown!
Thanks! I feel that the main issue people have with team modes is getting eliminated by randomly chosen teammates, so this is a great solution. Sorry, one more question but is there any way to communicate with random teammates, even just a few premade messages?
er.. emotes? :D
In all seriousness I'd love to do a Tribes: Ascend or Rocket League system one day. Squads is already a massive feature though so we've tried to keep it as focused as possible for now!
Are there going to be shows that allows for squads, or even squad exclusive shows?
Will team games show up more often in squad modes than in solo? Edit: kinda answered
Will you ever be grouped up with other teams in team games? For example, if there are 9 team left, will there be 3v3v3 teams? Edit: answered
Do you think you will ever be able to incorporate those last few rounds that arent squad compatible at some point? It would be a little sad if some modes could never make it. Edit: answered
Will there be some kind of friends feature so you can play again with any of your random squads?
Sorry i have a lot of questions.

Squads Mode is its own exclusive show for now. For the first time there's gonna be 3 Show live at the same time!

I'd say yes, but they feel very different in Squads Mode. I think players will generally like them a lot more now

Not at launch, but it would be a lovely feature to have one day!
So will the number of squads going to the final be pretty consistent? 3 squads totaling 12 people seems like a happy medium, but are 2, 4, or 5 squads possible?
Yeah, it's much more consistent as all Rounds now eliminate a guaranteed amount of squads. There's still variety but generally it's 3-5 squads in the semis, and 2-3 squads in the final. It's not an exact science though as it depends on how many squads the show starts with.
Squad mode will be a different mode altogether. If you are alone you will be matched with the other players to make a team of 4 Main show will remain as at it is
This guy gets it
I have a couple of questions.
How exactly do Survival/Team rounds work?
Which rounds are currently not present?
Squad Survival rounds give your squad points for each second you each survive- the worst performing 2 teams are eliminated, so the longer you survive the more points you score! This takes a bit of getting used to as it's possible for your entire team to land in the slime but still qualify.
Team Rounds also only ever put one Squad on a team, meaning they come a bit later in the show now. This also means that Fall Ball, Jinxed and Power Trip can be final rounds which I think is great. Squads Mode essentially has twice the number of final Rounds and Main show now!
The Rounds missing are Slime Climb, and then any 'solo scoring' Round, so Ski Fall, Hoopsie Legends and Short Circuit. We know how to adapt these though, so hopefully they'll get added in a later update.
So in a final round can there be a scenario where you are 1 vs team of 4 ?
Only if for some reason your entire squad quit on you, but even then if it's a Final like Hexagone or Fall Mountain you can still win it!
Any Squads mode questions fire away! There's quite a lot to unpack in this feature and I want to make sure it's a clear as possible come Monday!
We knew about boosting but didn't know they were charging money for it. Thanks for the screenshots of names, very useful. Will discuss with the team on Monday. I'll check what the team think and what we wanna do about it.
Why is the poster of tundra run?
Story time. We only decided to run this show a few weeks ago and we don't have any suitable images of Thin Ice in the build right now (we frontload about half a season's worth of shows at once when we push a new update). This was the closest we had and felt like it was better than not running the show at all!
Yeah, I think Hex-A-Gone is good enough that it can absolutely stand as its own game. There's a reason why it and Slime Climb are so frequently cited as the best minigames.
Also, the chaos created by other players' differing strategies and having to account for that in your own gameplay saves it from feeling repetitive, IMO.
Absolutely. I thought I'd perhaps not enjoy the Thin Ice Trials so much but actually, it's made me like Thin Ice more, as the first round is the chaos that I kind of needed with that final! And pausing to look at the different strategies (or often lack thereof) is really fun.
And I've been pretty poor at pacing myself with Thin Ice historically (treating it more like Hex which is a mistake lol) and it's helping me improve a lot.
a delicious meeting
-Removes Mediatonic hat and replaces with player hat-
10000000% The playlists and experimentation with them. I can't wait for more and to see it evolve. I know a lot of people find Hex-A-Gone Trials repetitive but I love that, and Jump Around, and any playlist that almost feels like it converts Fall Guys into another minigame. Obviously close second is Maps - I always want more maps. I mean always. But it's amazing how a playlist variety can keep me coming back on in ways that I didn't pre S3!
