Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 Thanks, T. YouTube is being a pain about letting me post, so I'll answer here. I appreciate the observation. Depending on the situation, you are very much correct on laying pieces horizontally. It is actually something that I've found myself doing lately, but not as frequently as I'd like. I just need to work it into my repertoire. I agree that it can be the right play in many of those instances; although, sometimes I do see it as an option, but go for something higher risk 'cause, you know, fuck it.
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 New rubbish from me: 302k - I upload it only because of the t-spin, I like too much playing for tricks Nice game BDCowe, I liked your "not canonical" tetrises!
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 Far from rubbish, Simba! To put it in perspective, being able to put 300k down in 100 lines of Level 19 gives you the power to max-out (if you can manage to link it in from a strong enough early game transition, of course). So, being able to do it in 140 is pretty darn impressive!
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 Thanks Kitaru You're so kind. Today I improved my high a bit, 345.080 pts at 159 lines, and as usual I'm playing on emulator with my NES controller. Terry, thanks for your youtube comment, but sadly I can't play on a real NES since I'm from Italy and my region is PAL! But I think that with my NES and SNES adapters (for the controllers) I can make quite well... I hope you strong guys won't mind when I'll get to the big scores - if I'll get I'm playing the NES from September 2013 so I think I can have some hopes. In the meantime I'm uploading the videos as proofs, to get my emulator scores less suspicious Maybe they are too many, but it's only because I'm growing and I don't want to cheat... And Kitaru, I wanted to ask you - why won't you add links to this leader board as well? That would be great! Lastly, you should fix seeds 15 and 16 in the board, getzie should be one position higher...
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 emulator is a perfectly good substitute for a genuine NES. I believe all involved agree. These scores you are putting up do indeed bode well for you. I think good things might happen, and soon!
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 @Simba: Thanks for the correction! The reason why mistakes like that creep in and part of why I don't do video links is that I edit this scoreboard by hand, whereas I have a tool I wrote for the normal A-Type threads that makes things a lot less tedious and error prone. Emulator is definitely accurate enough to submit here. It's not quite as responsive as the real hardware, so it might be worth getting a NTSC NES set up if you ever get a chance.
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 My new high is 392.200 pts (at 221 lines). Super slow; I was training on safe play and got this
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 Don't mind that, now I've got a pass for the 500k club 517.780 pts at 209 ines.
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 we always seem to set records the same day (my new PR from 19)... well done! 600k is big time baby!
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 Nice work, guys! Impressive stuff! I'd also like to congratulate Mike Wiz on his 19 maxout...or, at least that's what happened in my dream last night. Bizarre. I hadn't played since setting my new overall PB a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd play about an hour of 19 last night. Look what Tetris decided to bless me with...
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 i guess i need to repost this: 824,100, level 29, 230 lines. please add it to the liiiiiiiiiiiist.
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 thanks kitaru! hope all is well in your world. and again, thanks for keeping this site, and this community running!
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 I suppose I should get an update in here. Kinda crazy that a fairly decent jump in score actually keeps me at the exact same position. (nice job to those above me) It's unfortunate that I don't have video, only a screenshot (it was a very late night game 2 nights ago, and didn't bother with setting up for a recording). 514,680 230 lines
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 great job rizzo, kill screen too! every little jump in score is something to be celebrated!
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 Whenever I approach 140 lines (first level change) with anything over 400k, I always just go ahead and kill myself with stupidity, rather than actually make any improvement in PR score.
Re: [NES] A-Type Level 19 Good 19 game terry!!...you'll probably pass my 19 mark this year....i suck at 19 recently especially after transition at 140 lines.....
