Enjoy and thanks everyone for uploading/linking to these videos http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

[Rosti LFC]

Not sure if it's already there, but:

Is the best TGM3 (?) video I've seen

[DIGITAL]

Nope, that video hasn't been posted yet Rosti. It's one of the best Worlds rotation videos out there.


Here are a couple more stray videos.

Very good initiative jujube!

It's...irritating when I search a particular video and I don't succed to find it..So thank you!

Don't forget people to often update this thread..

Maybe we could think to organize a wiki with a nice tree structure...

example :

-game

-mode

-guy


And I profite to ask this :

Do you know a good soft which could allow me to record and translate an inp into video format?

When you make an inp, the most of time you must make 10 bad games before making a good..I've had a lot of chance to catch my S8 (9min36) in a first shoot.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif

[Rosti LFC]

Most screen recording software I tried either didn't work, or did but caused a lot of slowdown on my PC.


I find the best method is just to use a digital camera, square on to the screen, and on a pile of books or something to get it to the right height.

You could hack the emulator to close and reopen the inp whenever a coin is inserted. LJ in auto-record mode does something similar: close and reopen the ljm whenever the game starts.


I've wikified your video list: List of videos (http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/../wiki/index.php/List_of_videos)

[caffeine]

"chinpopomanko Tetris?Superplay???????????? 6:40 " is TGM3, not ACE.


And you should probably link those Arika videos to www.arika.co.jp (http://www.arika.co.jp/default.htm), not youtube.


Sega Ages: Tetris New Century Forty Lines Speed Run (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KphL8NXAvp0)

[colour_thief]

Recent MAME's can record MNG files (basically PNG in animated form). It's then possible to create an AVI or whatever from that. You'd also have to get MAME to output the sound as a seperate WAV and stitch it together.

Wow, I didnt know there were good cultris vids on youtube.

jono103 LJ. Tetris-40 lines In 44 Seconds 0:54

Hmm thought I took that one off, I better fix that.


- Jono

[Amnesia]

Yes colour_thief I've already tried it!

But my PC can't support it! He is not enough powerfull..

Or if you want I can record a death gm in 5:10 with that.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif
Rosti is right, a simple camera during the inp is loaded, and that create a more realistic effect.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Do you think my S8 could be on the list of video? Or I try to record a S9, or a better time?

[colour_thief]

Yes colour_thief I've already tried it!
But my PC can't support it! He is not enough powerfull..



If you can play TAP in MAME, you can do it all:


1. Record the INP.

2. Replay the INP while telling MAME to record MNG and WAV.

3. Convert the MNG to AVI and stitch the WAV for sound.


The only step that must be realtime is #1.

[jujube]

thanks tepples! also i see you added the links that Rosti and DIGITAL gave.


Amnesia-like Rosti i also use a digital camera for recording games.


caffeine-i added the Sega Ages video thanks. because i can't find my way around the Arika site, i won't be able to link those videos directly. if anyone could edit the wiki page with the correct link that would be great. for the time being, i've given credit for those videos to Arika.

[caffeine]

ct, maybe he's saying he can't record period, since his computer's not powerful enough. screen video capture does take enormous cpu consumption.


maybe you could play the game on your computer, save everything, and then temporarily use someone else's computer just for the capture. usb flash drives are very useful for that sort of thing.

[Amnesia]

Any idea to make a musical clip with our videos?

A lot of little extract from our best games..

We have enough of it.. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif

[jujube]

just a question for anyone with a video on the list, mostly for TGM series videos:


i'm trying to include the level, time, and if the player made M or GM grade in the game. i also have the time of the entire length of the video, which in the case of the video matt put up on youtube is 34 seconds longer than the game time (i assume because of lag during capturing). should i only include the time that's on the game clock in these videos?


P.S. thanks again to everyone who is contributing to this wiki article by uploading games, linking to games, and organizing video titles

[tepples]

i also have the time of the entire length of the video, which in the case of the video matt put up on youtube is 34 seconds longer than the game time (i assume because of lag during capturing).
Likewise, the time on my TOD videos is about 15 seconds longer than the play time because it includes time spent in menus.

should i only include the time that's on the game clock in these videos?

I'd suggest including both. We should reformat it into a table anyway.

[Amnesia]

I've not found the grad M (master mode) of Jagorochi on the list..

For me this video is more impressive than a M rank in DEATH..

[cyberguile]

I've just watched the few vids that were shot in an arcade and remembered how much noise there is in those places (first time I entered one, took me ten minutes to accomodate http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif )

How on earth can they get such concentration in such places !

[reivilo]

omg the official video of arika for tgm3 is just amazing...

especially the part where the stack is invisible... i dont get how he does to remember the stack and at the same time focus on the tetrominos coming

[tepples]

You can get good at invisible challenge if you practice. There are a couple things you can do with fan games: Play TOD (http://www.pineight.com/tod/default.htm) and get past the 9 minute mark to obscure the playfield without completely hiding it. Play LJ with "Hide blocks in well" turned on. I would imagine that Heboris has a similar option.

[DIGITAL]

Yeah, practice is really the only way.


I'm guessing it has to do more with the mental image you have of the field. I think to play invisible effectively, you have to be more than capable of playing at very high speeds. To keep up with the memorization, you'd have to slow the game down mentally with your analytic skills.

I read an article in scientific American a while ago, that had a bit in it about really good chess players, and how they play nearly as good without the board as with it, because they have such a clear picture in their mind, and they have played so much that they know heaps of openings and all this sort of thing. Id imagine tetris would be similar, in a way.


Edit: needle there was also a part in that article that discussed players memorizing chess board layouts. If the layout was taken from midway through a game, pros could memories in seconds and recall hours later with startling accuracy, but if the pieces were randomized, they faired little better than non-chess players. not really tetris related so i kept it in this post, but still interesting.

[Needle]

I also heard from a professor about how professional Shogi (Japanese chess) players memorize game board layouts at extreme accuracy, but also breaks down rapidly to layman levels when the labels on the pieces have been changed to different symbols. One test subject supposedly even begged to stop the test, saying that he felt continuing would make his skills deteriorate.


Damn me for not being able to immediately provide a source, but it it's true, I guess it talks a lot about the role of optimization in human performance.

It also explains why I fall to pieces when playing Tetris with a colour set I'm not used to.

[caffeine]

i think that's baloney. it just takes some time to become reacquainted with whatever changed. people don't give themselves a chance to adapt.

You can adapt, but it takes a while.

I messed up so much on Lockjaw when the rotation was set to Tetris DS. In theory it's the one I'm most used to, but with a keyboard it's not, and I seem to keep keyboard and gamepad Tetris separate in my head, because I'd continually misdrop near the centre because I'd press the direction too many times or too few.

It's true in less "extreme" cases as well. Several people I know struggle know some phone numbers in one language, and some in another language, and struggle to recognise/remember a number in the language that they didn't "learn" it in.

[kbr420]

Hi guys,

my company just posted a sprint video on youtube.

here is my clip:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eguBGUGc8Mo

[Rosti LFC]

See how fast the world record holder of Tetris Zone can play Tetris!



Is it the way the game is set up with DAS and things, or is that not particularly fast?

[PetitPrince]

I've got a video of caffeine beating your world champion by 10 seconds in Tetris Elements (he did it in 42s).

And according to the wayback machine (http://web.archive.org/web/20060107132642/http_3A/www.tetrisconcept.com/default.htm), he also did it in 38s on a mobile phone O_o .

[kbr420]

im not trying to brag or anything, just simply adding another clip to the post. i did not upload the clip nor did i write the blog. Caffeine is a very fast player.


oh btw, prince, i used to work for Blue Lava Wireless and from what i remember, not once did a tetris deluxe have a 40 lines variant that was actual 40 lines. What it comes down to is you clear ~5 tetrises and the game is over. fyi, i did that variant in 35s.


Rosti, yes this is how the game is made. I pushed for a faster delay, but got shutdown. Anything faster than that delay can not be accepted in a game, it wont pass QA.

[PetitPrince]

Uh, sorry, I didn't meant to appear agressive.

[Rosti LFC]

I didn't mean anything by the video. It just seemed that for a "world record holder" that wasn't particularly fast.

Then again, if that's the speed the game allows, then it makes no difference.

[caffeine]

Won't pass QA even if it was an option? I understand new players wouldn't may not take well to faster horizontal speed, but what about a slow/fast option? Or you could do a sensitivity gauge.

[kbr420]

world record holder, haha. Never noticed that! when windows comes out, im pretty sure all the faster players will be right up there with me or faster.


caffeine, as an option it might pass qa. i would definetly push for that option. Everyone has their own comfortable settings they wish to play the game, just like fps games where u can adjust sens of mouse and movement. i agree with u there.


HOWEVER, what our company is trying to do is standardize these settings. Meaning everyone plays with the same delay/movement settings and it would be fair across the board to everyone(pros-noobs). That way it is a more controlled enviornment and it would be noticable to see who the faster/better players really are.

[Needle]

HOWEVER, what our company is trying to do is standardize these settings.


Is this talking in the scope of just Tetris Zone, or all subsequent games?

[tepples]

The standardization of the "weight" of tetrominoes is probably for the same reason that The Tennis Company (http://www.usta.com/home/default.sps) specifies an official size and mass for a tennis ball.

[caffeine]

i agree. tetris games should follow a standard. but i urge this one issue not only because i want to play faster and want others to play faster too, but because players with weak ethics also want to play faster (in which case i don't want them to play faster). and through the use of macros, they will be able to play much faster than everyone else. macros are frowned upon or banned in a lot of competitive games, but there's one easy way to make sure no one uses them in this game, and that's to allow fast horizontal speed-- where macros become useless.


edit: i think sega age's horizontal speed looks very good. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KphL8NXAvp0 ). sega's QA can't be any less tough than bps.

I used to have a music video of a different Hip Hop tetris-related song. I wish I still had it... The chorus went "something something dropping lines like a tetris". Lines being a double entre for their l33t rapping skillz.

Is it a natural reflex of TDS player?

Or have you developed a special ability to perform such a lot of T-Spin??


("such a lot of"... http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif That seems wrong in english..)

I'd say yes, it's a reflex a TDS player acquires. You really have to see a 4p match among high 7k and 8k players to see how the slow gameplay of TDS can be turned into something frantic and fast paced.

("so many T-Spins" might have been the phrase you wanted)


After a while, it sort of does become natural to set them up. That was an example of a game where I used a lot. It's the only reason we picked it really, because the speed was far from excellent.

Most of the complicated setups have to be learned. You need to at least know the structure. With t-spin doubles, which is all I really use most of the time, it's simply spotting them.

When you play Tetris enough, you get to see how the pieces fit together to stack neatly. T-spins just require a slightly different way of looking at it. After a bit of practice, spotting how to place the pieces to set up t-spin doubles becomes second nature.

It is with me anyway.

this is my personal favorite method for making t-spin triples (actually it's easier if you set it up away from the center). it gives you a little flexibility in the setup depending on what pieces you get in what order, though you might have to use your first L or J to make room for S or Z on the sides. there isn't a diagram exactly like this in the wiki but there should be somewhere. maybe i'll add it soon. i learned it from watching Triple Lei's and TKI's videos.

That's the most common, but there's slightly more than that. Mostly using L's and J's when there's a block missing either side.

Rosti's referring to the situations where the overhang is already set up. I really should get to adding them onto the TSD Setups page.

[Rosti LFC]

I dislike Tetris Zone videos. I've never played the game, and that probably accounts for most of this, but I really just can't find them impressive because of the total lack of speed. Even the best videos seem incredibly slow, and I just can't watch them and be astounded by the skill, which I can be by LJ or TGM videos.

I don't think the music helps. It just feels so... uninspiring...

http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif sorry but you sound like 90% of the people that comment on TGM videos at youtube. no i'm not comparing tetris zone to TGM, not by a long shot. but yes, you have to play the game. i thought the same thing about NES tetris videos until i played it for myself.

[Needle]

I have played the game on the other hand, and, um, Bah.

[cyberguile]

Yeah, I've tried the game once at a friends house, found it desperatly slow.

Like, yesterday, I gave tetris plus a go. Reached 999 999 on the first try lol

[jujube]

well then someone come on and get 600,000 in tetris zone master mode http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif the DAS is slow but you'll have to make back-to-back-to-back-to..etc. tetrises with fast lock delay in the last few levels.


to be honest, if anyone doesn't like the game i don't know why they would watch my video for more than a second. but i suppose i could have indicated it was tetris zone in my original post.


anyway, for the record no one should be ashamed to post a tetris video here http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_confused.gif especially if they're #2 in the world, for whatever reason(s) (people don't like the game, no one has heard of it, no one likes that mode, whatever). i didn't really expect any response to it.

The score is good and high because combos are easier to get in 5-wide, and a GM on any game is an achievement, but overall, the video isn't as crazy as I expected. There doesn't seem to be a lot of DAS charging. And why do the tetrominoes come out half a block over(!)?

DASing can be dangerous in big mode with only one preview. You can't afford to make a wrong placement. But the player didn't DAS at obvious times and also rotated the wrong way in some instances, so I guess I agree with you that the video wasn't as crazy as I expected.


I'm also guessing that the spawning position is meant to give the player a helping hand, kind of like a hold piece. Can't have that T get stuck in the center with such a low ceiling.

[jujube]

i'm only questioning the I piece placement at 5:18 game time. can't expect someone to be perfect though http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif ...or maybe that was the best spot, it just seemed awkward.

[colour_thief]

Big mode, played well, does require some very counter-intuitive placements. I recommend people who haven't already to give it a try, it's actually surprisingly different from regular Tetris play.

[Pineapple]

And why do the tetrominoes come out half a block over(!)?

I think it's related to the fact that they move sidewys half a block per step, meaning that using DAS and wallkicks is a must.

[Needle]

the behavior was fixed in TAP btw, so that big pieces move horizontally in 2-cell increments.

[cyberguile]

I don't understand why it's the player 2 that seems to be always winning lol

[colour_thief]

In the event of a time out, the furthest level wins. In the event of a tie, the defending player wins. By random coincidence, "player 2" was defending for the 2 failures (time outs). For the other 2 videos, the "player" who reaches level 100 first wins. In fact for the final video this was "player 1". http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif It's possible to clear lines together for a draw, but my timing was slightly off.

[jujube]

that's awesome ct http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gifhttp://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif can't wait to see you play doubles mode by yourself. i've tried it in tetris unlimited but that was much easier for sure. i was able to reach level 9 though (starting on level 1), if anyone wants to challenge that http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif

Yeah, I actually controlled the joystick and buttons from my Astro City to do it. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif I wish I had a means of recording my hands as I play... Would make for a much more entertaining video.


Did anyone catch how in the first 2 games, the geometry of the 2 screens diverged and then converged again? That's my favorite part. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif That and the fact that all my mistakes in Death Mode were made by both hands at the same time. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

[PetitPrince]

Make me remember VTF-INO (http://youtube.com/watch?v=ToBdzV7w5Pc).

[colour_thief]

Thanks, I hadn't seen that in a while. That's actually more or less exactly how I position my hands to work the controls... I was questioning my technique after reading about the one-handed Death player that pinched the shaft of the joystick with the base of his thumb and index finger. Unlike VTF-INO though, I don't have the option of lifting my hand from the stick to hit the middle button when I have to use DAS+IRS. That's especially tricky with the left hand, but I can do it. http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif

A 20x9 block is 45 pieces. 45 pieces in 18.6 seconds is ~145 tpm, with slow DAS, sideways speed and frame animation delays, plus a SZ start and a few minor hesitations! It's a very impressive video.

Here's a really amazing video of a MasterM run in Ti, completed in 5:07:something.. and if that wasn't enough, the player is playing really aggressively towards the end of the invisible roll, locking manually and everything. o_O

But 5:07 and still not Gm. Has anybody ever made a bravo during the [invisible]-roll?

I assume you mean the invisible roll, as opposed to the "5 seconds" roll or the big mode roll.


Big mode I've seen. Happens in the official video, I think. Not seen it in the other 2. That would be fucking insane, though...

i wonder if after watching several hundred tetris players he could watch a new video from one of those players and guess who was playing.

I have browsed around a few of the best TGM3 player's website and seen their stuff. They are all very good players. But there are only two that can match this speed shown in the video... And they can match it, and do even faster.... below 5 min! So it is not fake.


Why they can perform such aggressive play in instant invisible roll may be because of the red I piece and how it can be roteted. In TAP, you can't do that many tetrises.


One more thing, cheating in TGM3 is not possible.

It is good that the top rank don't have the same name on both game. It could require the same skill level. But priceless to be rewarded on original.

What about some sort of modified Colin Fahey AI system? Complex, but not impossible

I agree it is not impossible, for somebody who want to demonstrate "something". I don't know if we can call this a cheat btw...

If we really want to know the result of an "ultimate perfect play" then we can do it by statistic calculation. Finally the only thing this machine would reveal is Gm rank reward requierment (if it exist of course).


but it don't like the idea of a machine demonstration running on a program (game) designed for humain reflex limit capabilities. It would simply kill the magic. So i prefer discover it from a human...


Of course a good way to know the unknow rules that demotivates top players, but a video demonstration should never be released to large public.

[caffeine]

yeah, it would kill the magic, but don't say you wouldn't watch it!


btw, while we're on kim peek, last night i watched a really interesting google videoized documentary (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2598363071375453449&q=brainman&total=41&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0) about Daniel Tammet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Tammet). he can do stuff like recite pi accurately 22500 digits, learn a new language in a week, quickly solve incredible math calculations, etc. but what i found most interesting was the short segment where they visit a japanese abacus school where teachers train children of four years old, and by adolescence, they can solve incredible calculations amazingly fast with an "imaginary" abacus.

[K]

yeah, it would kill the magic, but don't say you wouldn't watch it!

honestly no i wouldn't watch it but who know... i'm just interested by the information it will bring. Currently top players motivation are too much on the hands of some wise guy :

I've met more save-state hackers (which are good to play against for your rating, even if they do mess up the leader board) than I have I-cheat hackers.

Haha, it's a crime to keep playing someone that is good when you're losing? *hides*


Although it's definitely annoying when they run away after that 1 win in like 20. On second thought, you don't even get that many points from beating them anyway so it's pointless to keep on playing. But the notion is definitely annoying! Quit after I beat you a few more times! http://www.tetrisconcept.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif

Possibly. I don't care enough to do the gruntwork though... But if someone else created a distinct *.txt for every round, filling it with the written out piece sequence eg. "SZTLOOJZIT..." then I'd have a look at it. I did this once before for over a thousand pieces in TGM3 and it was painful.

[Pineapple]

Do we have any reason to believe it's not using the bag? It's guideline Tetris, no?

Supposedly... until there were mentions of people getting the same piece 3 times in a row...


I took a guess at 14 bag (the only currently known non-history randomizer that will do it consistently enough to be noticeable) and calculated that it will happen about once every 6 sprints. But then there was an edit on the wiki that said that it's not 14 bag...

Regarding the part that's a shame: YES.

What's REALLY crazy is that we STILL haven't seen 1301.

[DIGITAL]

Heh, with Master out of the way now, maybe jin8 can show us if 1301 is attainable by humans.

[Pineapple]

This game seemed pretty interesting so i gave it a shot. It was surprisingly fun so i made a few vids to show off.
You couldn't do me a favour, could you? Any chance you can play the "marathon mode" as fast as you can, and make a video of it?

Hmm, from jin8's ranking list, it says that AYA is at the top with 04:23:08.

I only heard of his 4:28. I didn't know he did it 5 seconds faster since then...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzD-mnvecNg&NR=1 Shirase green S13: 4:27.58 (?!)


That sub-4:30 is amazingly fast. It's just a shame that he comes unstuck and fails to finish the end roll. The other video is also very good, but I think it really gets interesting at the end roll again...


In my own opinion a shirase 0 >1300 is not impossible in sub 4min. no doubt this is a great play but we definitly see a lot of slow down phase resulting from stacking error.

He also prefer to play secure by stopping manual lock before entering 1200+ section.

But i'm not speculating about 1301 conditions. Just about pure performance.


- - - -

Official ARIKA video Gm is quite impressive. Simply coupled with the MasterM in 7:15.03 performance,

we can start to speculate that Main requirement is focused on the invisible staff roll.

I was really astonished when i saw first time manual locking on TGM3 invisible staff roll.

but from the TGM2 Master mode green/yellow line Gm difference, by speculating on the same kind but harder requirement on TGM3, locking may become important.

With fog dispersal, i suppose that more and more Gm players will appear in the next 6 month...

[Pineapple]

I was really astonished when i saw first time manual locking on TGM3 invisible staff roll.

That's putting it very nicely, jago. Extremely nicely, in fact...
