500 at 4:46. 999 at 9:57 This game can be so frustrating. PS: amnesia, you better keep training, I'm coming for you grrrr
Congrats on the purchase! And don't be so pessimistic about beating my record; not more than a year ago, I was thinking that jago was untouchable, and look where I am now Also, I paid slightly over the odds for a complete kit (including original box and bubble-wrap), so if you need any artwork scans, just let me know. Here's the artwork that I've got: My fastest first half in 20G is only about 4:45, which is about the same as what the pros do without 20G. Almost invariably, the first half is much slower (e.g. by 10 seconds) than the second half, mainly because you start with an empty playfield, build up to half-full by 500, and then clear down to finish low at 999. EDIT: Oops, I just realised that I completely misread your question! It's hard to say what my fastest second half is, although I would guess that it's somewhere between 4:35 and 4:40, definitely not faster than 4:35.
nobody is untouchable, i just played that damn game longer than you.. but Edo i'll not let you take the lead in the default mode.. Glad you have the original, and playing with an arcade stick cyberguile !
...so I started playing 20G 2 days ago in order to get closer to "normal" GM. Just had first 999 today (S8, 15:00). Miles away from reaching any Torikan though.... ...windows decided to switch to the desktop after about 3 minutes so I was left with a mess when I managed to switch back. Afterwards I mainly had to downstack all the time. 20G feels much slower now... AAK
Did not you feel the last tetrimino weirdly fast lol ?? You just hitted the limit of 15min imposed by the game, normaly at 15+ is impossible to survive.
Monsieur... Nothing felt here...Now seriously...is there really a 15m limit? and: Is there a prize for the slowest 999? AAK
Regarding your normal time and your 20G time, I would say you do not manual lock, right? Manlock gave me (and still gives me) a hard time to get used with, but it's a sine qua non condition to get the GM grade, and feel more comfortable with the game. It takes time to be able to play all the game long while manlocking but your stacking skills seem pretty good as you cleared the game several time in a very short period, so you just have to go faster now.
