  2. Congrats! You're breaking those records little by little!

    Do you have videos of Death modes?
     
  3. Hi all ! My new personal record
    [​IMG]

    You can do it Nico !

    Next time i'll put a video on youtube !
     
  4. How did you practice basically ? Lot of games from 300/400/500 ? Hard drop from which level ?
     
  5. Nico, i play every game from level 0. As you are enable to get level 500, a good exercise is to get level 100 as fast as you can. Just focus on your speed, try to get level 100 in 45 - 50 sec ok ?

    Now hopefully I can replicate that next week.
     
  7. My 2nd 500 @ 4:22:41 !

    I proudly declare myself as the slowest western Death torikan player :D

    I did a 494 @ 4:30 this morning, and I am pretty confident I can beat Koo's record of 4:33 in the next few weeks :p
     
  8. Nice man! Koo just has to understand who the boss is now :D
     
  9. Okay, for some reason I got a record of 6:21:xx out of nowhere on the arcade machine, but then I could not get a picture in time and the video recorded at the pier21 arcade got destroyed... So I got a black hole of something lol

    Oh well, just seeing if it's okay to submit a blank entry. If not, I might try this sucka next time
     
  10. Yeeeeah you definitely need a picture :)
     
  11. Oh! I mean, sorry! What was I thinking? Here, according to your standards :

    You good?

    Photographic evidence accepted.

    FYI if you hold down any of the rotation buttons then the game won't leave the gameplay views.
     
  14. Huh, I just had two back-to-back games reaching level 300. (for reference, I've only ever reached 300 maybe 5 times or so before this)

    I've done some serious training since my tgm1 gm. Focusing on stacking in TAP Master and to go all out to get SK medals. I found manually counting every tetris really helps me concentrate on this. Not just mindlessly "trying" to stack for tetris. But really go at it 100% and say it out loud. "ONE Tetris... TWO... THREE.." etc. Even if there's a visual indication by the form of a medal at every 10 I found it really helps by doing it this way for me.

    Also some 20G training. Where I've actually picked up a few new tricks. Which involves some very minor "piece climbing" (carefully thinking about the initial rotation to get over to the other side if there's a hole in between) as well as really pay attention to the middle of the stack and keep it higher, and with that comes overhangs that I normally don't do. And in return I've also gained the ability to "see" where I can fit not only one piece in that place, but several. And place pieces where it's not totally obvious (in particular, the J-piece)

    It's like I just discovered another gear, and now I must learn how to properly use it. But I really like where this is going. I had a very clean stack up to level ~290 where I made a big mistake, before that I hardly had any. I entered 300 and for the first time I was NOT overwhelmed by it's speed increase but could actually comfortably play it. But because of the mistake right before I could not survive for many levels into it as I could not repair it in time and I was close to the top. Also my time was a little bit faster than my record and I would have got a better time had I survived up to 331 which is my current best.

    well done!
    keep the good work ;)
     
  16. Getting closer to a new record. Tied with my current best, got to 331. But with a worse time.
     
  17. Oh my god, you're getting closer man! It definitely feels good when you know you're consistently getting to your previous best. Best of luck destroying that PB! :)
