How to counter combo starters and combo users?

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

Combo users are annoying opponents coz' they can knock your ass out fast on the game.

At the start of 2p battle, take a glance at your opponent’s window to know what kind of strategy is he/she using. When he starts with 2 wide, 3 wide or 4 wide, BE WARNED your opponent is a combo user. 

The key here is to note when your opponent will start his combo. At the time he started his combo, or at his 2nd-4th combo, all you have to do is to WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT and watch your opponent finished showoff combo and just watch your red line meter rise, just don't let your tetrimino lock down  (means when you can no longer move a tetrimino), when your tetrimino is about to lock down while your opponent is still  busy doing his combo, remember you have the HOLD option or you can rotate repeatedly your tetrimino to delay its lockdown. After your opponents combo, it's now time to do your thing, rain him with back to back tetris, resume your combo or do something quickly before he start another round of combo again..

With this method they will only knocked you out ONCE rather than a couple of times. I guarantee you it's worth waiting.You have to watch your opponent occasionally for his next wave of combo and you'll have to do this method again and again.
