if you have problems in getting sub 500 S4 try to go for a couple of tetris > triple or triple > tetris combos
Congrats! First Gm player of the new year. Very close to the time limit, but score's good. KevinDDR's first Gm was with a time of 13:29:90. That will be difficult to beat.
We should have a leaderboard with the slowest GM being no.1. It could be a lol challenge for even the good ones. Hahaha.
Skipped S6. I've been working on getting better at 20G, and it's payed off at all modes. Code: 57--Budster----------------S7 - 848 @ 10:07:65 - 01/07/10
Almost there. Once you reach S7 it's only a matter of time. Try to reach the end of the game now. How long can you last when using the 20G code? I would advise to try and complete the game in 20G mode. Afterwards getting Gm will be a piece of cake. If you can already survive for over 500 levels you'll be Gm within a month. EDIT: I was planning on creating a TGM miscellaneous challenges thread in the near future. Monochrome modes and score attack leaderboards will be created. The above idea sounds crazy enough for me. We need a good way to calculate positions based on score and time though.
1 point for every point over 126000 1 point for every 1/100 of a second under 13:30 Lower points = higher ranking I think it would work.
Just do a delta sort, and tie-break on sign, where + (slower) tie-breaks - (faster) on time, and - (less points) tie-breaks + (more points) on score. Sort by grade (Gm or not), then time (closest to 13:30), then score (closest to 126k). Example 1: Caithness Gm (0) 13:23:70 (-00:06:30) 150937 (+24937) Example 2: Goplat S9 (-1) 13:24:58 (-00:05:42) 134928 (+892
Most likely I'm just spoiled, but does TGM1 have more restricted wall kicks concerning the I? I-pieces that get stuck literally every-fucking-where make me a very sad wannabe-Tetris-nerd.
ZETSUBOU SHITA! Only 20G practice can save you from even more despair now. I agree with this. Makes it all the more challenging. I don't expect a lot of people to really put in the effort and participate anyway. But there will be players who could rank high without even trying to get a close Gm.
i found or i was told that to love is not enough, you gotta love someone you know will love you just as much
