Best Of

Do we know whether Babs overtook Conner, and if so when did this happen, or was Conner trying to catch up? @Nobody1

It is likely that a variety of additional factors impact if and when our opponents slow down or stop: maybe the speed at which we play the first two levels, maybe how often we pause playing and for how long, probably if we ourselves play a token matters as well, or it could be entire random. The VCR theory relates to the method used by the app to control the speed of our opponents.

The final qualifying score that will be required is a separate issue. It is obvious that a variety of factors will determine this because if it was the same for all players then everyone on reddit would spot it. It may be that groups at certain levels have to score 3000 per half hour, players at other levels just 2000 per half hour. There are definite differences over the level ranges of scores that can be achieved, I have found this out now in practice, so it would not surprise me if the app factored this in. There are many factors of which we don't know how they affect the qualifying mark for us as individuals. I tried failing Candy Royale as I started the round for example since there was a suggestion this might impact the strength of our opponents. It's all guesswork and a leap of faith. I'm not suggesting anyone should apply any of this to their strategy. It's academic. In the reality of the competition what we must do is play the best we can and hope that it will be enough. Play a token about one hour from the end if you need to do so to catch up. There are no guarantees it will be possible to get to the next round without tokens, but I assume the app will factor in just one token per round at most, as it gave us six to use.

There might also as always a luck factor. In a group of 20 you might be lucky and be amongst others who all have used all their tokens.

(Yes, michimune, I've broken my promise here not to post again. So what? )

Hey there. I am almost 80. I play the game for fun, and this All Star lingo has my mind all balled up. I qualified I guess on last round. I played all day and made it but in one hour this dandy person doubles his standing and I am at top of non qualified standing. I am thinking "knockout"? What I want to know is how I have made it to level 3300!

Kids...some of the jargon used is suspicious. Wow what a colossal waste of a day.

Olá, tudo bem?

Estou enfrentando problemas ao tentar comprar barras de ouro na loja, mais alguém está passando pela mesma coisa?

Limpei o cache, e quase perdi o meu progresso no ALL stars

Haha yes @WJohn there is an awful lot that is sus about the game and yet here we all are

Agradezco,que algún moderador me averigüe si es posible comprobar la desaparición de 2 fichas que no he utilizado.. Gracias

Sorry, I would like to revisit this post, because of something I saw on reddit.

Note this does not invalidate Christine's VCR theory, but it does add some nuance to it.

Take a look at this leaderboard. This poor person came so close to getting in on second chance 2.

This was round 2 of the second chance, so only 24 hours. Note this score is significantly higher than the scores in Christine's board. My suspicion is that this means Christine was right in talking about number of levels completed or blue candies collected required to get the advantage of the VCR effect. Score alone doesn't do it. I assume this person used tokens to get this score, and apparently that wasn't enough. If Christine's theory is correct, you will need to crush lots of blue candies to get the guaranteed pass, not just get a high score through good use of multipliers.

But it also doesn't seem like it's necessary to save all your multipliers to get this effect, since the example Christine pointed out seemed to show that person got the VCR effect despite using at least one token.

It's all still just a theory, but it's a very interesting one. Thanks, Christine, for the fascinating theories!
