Thanks a bunch! I now got eventually better at keyboard again... I guess I'll have to get that supergun, arcade stick and get practising for real at home... I hope I can be fit for Eindhoven!
WHAT THE HELL. I really should have that arcade machine ready... For god's sake... 5:55:78... Just wat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-s6xu2bjC90 Wow... GM in 8:14:61... I dont even. I guess I am much stronger on keyboard than on stick now... I just need to be tetrising more and actually get back home to try my hand on my PCB more often in order to get dat arcade GM done
SoliDeoGloriaAA : Wuuuut, I just came in here it seems. I thought your run was nice! I don't know what your actual record on MAME is (the leaderboards is saying 9:15 or something), but I think it's pretty good still! Do you have technical/lag issues with the game? In any case, trying to squeeze some invisible+death practice so I can try GM in Japan one last time before going to my road trip of East Asia... Can't wait to finish all my homeworks! For some reason I actually managed to get at last a 32-line clear in invisible (hope I know how to count), that's nice. For some reason also, a Death 500 in 2:53:43 just popped, with 400-500 being sub 30 seconds. I did not expect that, now I guess I'm eventually being absolutely satisfied of a lot of my runs now. That supergun will not wait any longer when September comes by...
It's always a touch strange because I play on my keyboard. I've actually never played with a joystick. It's possible that there is, but I don't notice any lag personally speaking.
Alright! If you wish, you could post a video, I would watch it with pleasure. Even if you don't, consider pressing F8 before taking a screenshot so people can see your section times
Finally I can start using this thread after completing normal and advance Next goal Special. Still alot to work on: edit: ah image is a bit small and not worth to click on to dl: It's s4. next post will be when i hit S6
Sorry for spamming, Just did S6, and i was still at the ground, then i messed up badly. weird section time development here ... : tnx for faith Qlex ;P
Yea, well Im reading the rules now to get better S9. M or GM, looks rather confusing. I do have a feeling GM won't be possible for me, so gotto figure out how to get M ... edit: So basically I can't get s9 if i do the 999 levels in more than 8.45 ?
You can't get M if you do slower than 8:45, S9 works like another grade, and it's similarly as hard to do S8->S9 as S7->S8 or S6->S7! But if you fulfill a lot of crazy conditions (including total time < 8:45), you might get M! Here are the requirements
Hmm, here is my record of an S5. S5 sucks ofcourse but I do have the feeling my technique improves slightly there. maybe u can analyse if ur bored ;p I do play with one hand, I think thats a big handicap for these games, especially when locking the piece and in combination of higher gravity, maybe I should try play with a stick http://youtu.be/WBZU4SxBNQ4
Nice, you've done it! Sorry, not a lot of time for commentary, but I swear I'll get to it when I have time
