New controller seems to be helping. Not a huge improvement, but glad to be over 500k. Scored a 527,211 with 229 lines (waiting for long piece that never came).
Thanks David, sometimes I feel like im going backwards, so its nice to have even a small breakthrough.
I know exactly that feeling. I have felt it in between every big score breakthrough I've had though. It seems like it's just some mental barrier that, when broken through, makes you a lot better. Nice game man!
this should improve my fastest max somewhat. i was at 992140 with 224 lines and got a tetris. i believe it will end up being 224.17 lines. i think the math is close but not perfect. thanks!
Amazing game Terry, nice job. I love your style of play. Level 28 Tetrises are worth 34,800, so 1 line of a Tetris would be 8700 points. You needed 7859 points to max, so 7859/8700 = 0.90333 of a line. So I would say that puts you maxing at 224.9 lines.
Awesome Terry. You made it through that O block wilderness at the start. Whole game was fun to watch. One of my favorite moves was a very last second J block rotation in the middle of the stack. Also congrats to Svavar and AaronC on the sweet progress.
This may have been discussed but why are Jonas and Thor not on the board here (but they are on the sub 19 list)? Same for Quaid - he doesn't have the video of a 19 max but he has more than sufficient cred for his claim. The list just has never looked right to me without them on there. Also, John Byram now has a 666,500 (youtube john byram tetris)
Historically, TC leaderboards have been on a basis of "submit your own score" - I think NES is one of the only exceptions where people have posted scores on behalf of other people. So to answer your question, I don't think anyone has posted on behalf of Jonas, Thor or Quaid. Feel free to do so, or egg them on to post their scores themselves.
well done john! also, i would be OK wth simply adding jonas, thor, and quaid to the list. alex can work magic, lets let him do it.
Svavar, you just inspired me! I just now beat my own lvl 19 start score PB, hitting 621k. No where close to as impressive as yours, but glad to be over 600k fimally. I made way too many mistakes, but kept digging myself out. Will post video up later.
