View Full Version : Records: [TAP] Normal
Don't worry about it. ^^
Hiding the score didn't work so far. I've seen the replay of your highest score in Novice and I'll have another look at it this evening. Though in Texmaster I can obtain scores over 550k with little effort. Currently my top 10 consists of scores all over 550k and I have recently broken 500k for the 100th time. It's the randomizer for sure. I'll need to get better at reading it.
I'll play longer sessions more often and invite more risk into my play. Hopefully it happens soon and I'll upload the first game with a score over 500k. ^^
@ Kitaru: It will be challenging, but you can certainly take first spot on the ranking!

I was checking ben.shinobi's website (a french superplayer) for his world record video on shinobi when I found this:
http://benjamin.bouloch.free.fr/arcade-worldrecord.htm
614.459 (Normal) player: Jun 10/2005
600k O_o
Please explain me :p
PS: I can't believe Clover-TAC has a tgm record O_o
This guy is just godlike on danmakus (many Cave official dvd's have a run played by this guy)
SQR mentioned JUN's score of 614459 with a time of 03:05:71 on the forum before. JUN had a combo that ended with a double bravo somewhere around level 250. I believe he gathered about 440k at that point. Score at the end of the game without bonus is 470364 (time bonus is 144095).
Even higher wouldn't be unusual if you're lucky enough to blessed with a very long combo bravo in the last section. You may have seen my videos with scores of almost 200k around level 100. That's how powerful a combo bravo is in TAP Normal. ^^ Nice Doubles time by Clover-TAC. I'll probably add both records to the first posts of the concerning threads.

I'm more than happy that I have beaten Amnesia :p
Score would have been higher if I didn't have to wait like 6 seconds to make a tetris at the end because of a big mistake (and I'm wondering if waiting wasn't another big mistake ?)
Stacking for another tetris was the right choice. A tetris at the end of the game is worth almost 20000 points, while you lost only about 7500 points for the additional 6 seconds you wasted. And congrats with the fine score! ^^

First combo bravo:
http://defender.arcimpulse.com/TC/0033.png
At 100: ~156k
At 200: ~234k
At 300: ~350k?
Result: 479k. The second section wouldn't cooperate with me at all, and the third section was LOL NO I PIECES.
Three games after:
http://defender.arcimpulse.com/TC/0035.png
At 100: 88k
At 200: 235k
At 300: 370k+ (after a combo triple at 299)
Nice scores at the end of the second section. Usually I have a hard time getting over 220k. I played not long after Kitaru posted and the best I could get at the time was around 460k. Congrats with the new combo record. It would seem that without a bravo 400k is hard to break. ^^

Oh yeah, before I forget again, 465,217 @ 03:13:10.
~700 points short of taking the PCB record. Hopefully I can get some more good combos going next time I play, I'd really like to sweep the rest of the board records.

Excellent Kitaru, a big congratulations! I was really hoping to be the next one, but I've been slacking off for a while now so I don't deserve it quite yet I guess. Can you describe the game? Looking at the combo score I doubt there was a bravo involved in this game. Nice time.

About 8 months ago you posted in this thread asking for advice and you've already achieved what I have been unsuccessful at for years. Do you have any advise you think might help? Or should I just play more, panic less at crucial moments and get lady luck at my sides? Do you try to keep the 8th column low besides the 9th one? ^^

No bravos, just pure chaining zen. Unfortunately, I don't think I can impart any useful advice as to what makes the best combo stack. I just went for what felt right and got consistently solid combos to come out. One of my first section combos linked a second tetris for a slight early lead. The rest of the game had nice, long combos, as well as minimal effect from the DelEven.
I'd say it was just a overall well-rounded game of Normal. I usually get stuck in that 390~410k area because of misdrops or combos cut short, but I was able to avoid doing anything too silly this time around.

I'm starting to train and stack the way japanese player stack in Ti easy, almost certain it's a good idea to get high scores since double combos get so much point in tap normal (even though two tetrises in the same combo is even better lol)
Kitaru

If you're talking about MOM stacking, it's probably better just to do a simple 2-wide since the twists don't net any extra points -- and, in fact, will probably add unnecessary extra frames (compared to a simple DAS+IRS->droplock) that will only serve to lower your speed multiplier for line clears.

Just some overall tips...
I've found two-wide to be the optimal solution. Perhaps leave column 8 a bit lower than the rest so you can put J's and L's with the flat side up or down to keep the rectum in the correct "direction" if you have an S or Z coming up.
Randomizer awareness is key, but you'll have games where you never get the right pieces.
Don't forget horizontal I placements.

Could have been a bit better if I didn't mess up at 299. See that hole in column 6?
Anyway, that felt good. No bravos, but when every piece goes the "right" way during your combos, that's how it's done. Getting lucky.
Combo score before time bonus was over 400000, definitely. Probably in the neighborhood of 404k.
Woah nice play rednefed. The combo score is an amazing 404040 points! It's crazy that even more was possible.
I had a quick look at the Normal ranking on the TETRiS-HOLiC site and you currently rank 3rd. JUN is at the top with 614459 points and the second best player has 573824 points. I'm not sure whether the latter score was achieved without bravo (but possible since the clear time is 02:56:50!). JUN mentions in the comment section that he was blessed with a bravo. I remember reading somewhere that an even higher score was achieved by a Japanese player, but I can't find the post. ^^
