      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello guys and girls,<br />
I am looking for a way to effectively train (T)-spins at higher levels.<br />
The whole thing with the NES Tetris, so NRS rotation.<br />
I have studied the theory of spins. How the different parts rotate, where they&#039;re pivoting and which gaps and overhangs they can fill. Now it&#039;s about the practice...<br />
I am also able to set up and fill spins at low levels of about 0-5.<br />
<br />
Is there an IPS patch, mod or something like that to execute spins at higher levels without having to permanently...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[There&#039;s always been debate on whether or not music helps with focusing on tasks, including video games. I&#039;ve found that my best games playing Tetris are when my mind is barely focused on the game itself; rather on something either in my mind or in the background. The first thing I can think that would help me get into this state of mind would be music. Music has this effect that makes it so anything outside my own personal bubble doesn&#039;t exist, which I think would be perfect for a game like...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[I got interested in how to get a higher score in Tetris for the NES, so I started thinking at what level to start to get the highest possible score. I also wondered how the line penalties after level 9 affected the final score outcome. I wrote some code to calculate the maximum possible score for each level. This is what came out of it:<br />
<br />
START LEVEL: 0<br />
--------------<br />
LEVEL 0: 4800<br />
LEVEL 1: 10800<br />
LEVEL 2: 22800<br />

<br />
1. Look at my score<br />
2. Think, wow, I&#039;m having a good game<br />
3. Think, wow, that was a good escape<br />
4. Let the little commentator Jonas in my head say things like &#039;cerebral burn&#039;<br />
5. Put 100% focus into making a spin or a tuck and forget the entire rest of the screen<br />

I recently started getting into NES Tetris (haven&#039;t played any Tetris since my Gameboy childhood), because it&#039;s plenty of fun. After a week of playing and starting with level 18, I now finally managed to reach level 19 with a score of 280.000. Problem is that I just had no shot at level 19 and apparently it requires the usage of DAS techniques.<br />

I&#039;m overall a pretty decent Tetris player (Can play relatively fast, 40 Line PB is 1:21) but I&#039;m having trouble improving. I mostly play battle mode and aware that T-spin clears are VERY important<br />

I guess what I&#039;m asking is what are the main T-spin openers, set-ups, and combos  to learn and when I should use them. <br />

Everybody knows that when you sonic drop, it doesn&#039;t lock. However, if you hold down to slow drop a piece to the bottom it locks instantly.<br />
<br />
So it goes like this:<br />

<li>Sonic drop the piece.</li>
<li>Press down.</li>
<li>The piece locks instantly.</li>

For now i have played TGM-Clones without using the piece sounds, but i&#039;m starting now to train with them because i feel there&#039;s some potential there. (For fun, i build myself a custom set of sounds, a set of pentatonic notes of the same instrument, so now playing death is kind of a random melody generator <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie17" alt=":D" title="Grin    :D" />)<br />

Well, it&#039;s only taken a half a year, but I&#039;ve finally got around to it. I played an S7 in TAP today which I thought had a few key ideas.<br />
<br />
I&#039;ve mentioned a few peoples names <a href="https://tetrisconcept.net/members/1903/" class="username" data-user="1903, @Oliver">@Oliver</a>, <a href="https://tetrisconcept.net/members/17/" class="username" data-user="17, @Kitaru">@Kitaru</a>, <a href="https://tetrisconcept.net/members/410/" class="username" data-user="410, @Shuey">@Shuey</a>, and unfortunately I tried to mention <a href="https://tetrisconcept.net/members/1993/" class="username" data-user="1993, @Oshisaure">@Oshisaure</a>, but I totally blanked on your...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey all,<br />
<br />
I&#039;m playing TGM: Ti (emulated on Windows) and occasionally instead of the gravity decreasing to almost nothing, it will sometimes speed up as soon as I hit level 200. What conditions must be met in order to obtain this increase in gravity?<br />
<br />
Edit: Also, I have looked around the wiki and couldn&#039;t find any information on this but I am new to this game so I may be missing something obvious. Cheers]]></content:encoded>
