Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Nice job! And don't worry about posting a new record so early. At that stage any improvement is a good reason to submit again.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Still trying to adjust to my new setup (Up = Sonic Drop, Down = Sonic Lock). Code: Result: Cleared 40 lines at level 41 on 2009-03-16 at 18:30 Played 108 tetrominoes in 1:07.70 (95.71/min) (active time only: 1:02.91, 102.99/min) Pressed 386 keys (3.57/piece) Made 41 lines (single: 7; double: 1; triple: 0; home run: 8; T single: 0; T double: 0; T triple: 0) Sent 36 garbage (31.90 per minute) Left 18 blocks behind LJ (nerfed spin) score: 12706 Options Well: 10x20, Enter: Below Speed: Zero, ARE: 0 ms Randomizer: History 6 rolls of Tetrominoes Hold: On, empty, Rotation: Arika 0 FK+initial Lock: Step reset, Deep: Off Line clear: 0 ms Naive, Gluing: Off Drop score: Drop, T-spin: 3-corner T Garbage: Off, DAS: 166 ms 1G Soft drop: 1G Lock, Hard drop: Lock Shadow: Fainter color, Next: 3
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds My first post for LJ 40 lines...

Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Hehe, I wanted to brake 55 seconds first, before posting...and I did it after I had changed my configuration: Hard drop = DOWN instead of UP. Feels much better for me at 40 lines. Btw: New personal record today Code: Cleared 40 lines at level 102 on 2009-03-20 at 18:24 Played 104 tetrominoes in 0:52.71 (118.36/min) (active time only: 0:47.80, 130.54/min) Pressed 337 keys (3.24/piece) Made 40 lines (single: 13; double: 8; triple: 1; home run: 2; T single: 0; T double: 0; T triple: 0) Sent 18 garbage (20.48 per minute) Left 12 blocks behind LJ score: 7600 Options Well: 10x20, Enter: Above Speed: Exponential, ARE: 0 ms Randomizer: Bag of Tetrominoes Hold: On, empty, Rotation: SRS+initial Lock: Move reset, Deep: Off Line clear: 0 ms Naive, Gluing: Off Drop score: None, T-spin: 3-corner T Garbage: Off, DAS: 200 ms 1G Soft drop: 1G Slide, Hard drop: Lock Shadow: Color, Next: 8 ps: Ai, you can write that it's played with keyboard
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Nice. Just a little more and you will be sub 50 seconds. Actually I never updated that section of the leaderboards before. Should I just assume that if no input method is mentioned that the player plays with keyboard?

Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Just broke my record while practicing to play with the option "Shadow: Off, hide falling piece too". Code: Result: Cleared 40 lines at level 40 on 2009-03-21 at 14:28 from saved state Played 101 tetrominoes in 0:40.36 (150.12/min) (active time only: 0:35.80, 169.27/min) Pressed 289 keys (2.86/piece) Made 40 lines (single: 6; double: 3; triple: 0; home run: 7; T single: 0; T double: 0; T triple: 0) Sent 37 garbage (54.99 per minute) Left 4 blocks behind LJ score: 11400 Options Well: 10x20, Enter: Above Speed: Zero, ARE: 0 ms Randomizer: Bag of Tetrominoes Hold: On, empty, Rotation: SRS Lock: Move reset, Deep: Off Line clear: 0 ms Naive, Gluing: Off Drop score: None, T-spin: 3-corner T Garbage: Off, DAS: 100 ms Instant Soft drop: 1G Slide, Hard drop: Lock Shadow: Off, hide falling piece too, Next: 3
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Well what can I say. It's not like I don't want to go under 50 seconds. I haven't really been motivated to play purely for speed lately though. It all started when I got 00:50:01. I can still get around 51 seconds when I really try, but that seems to be the limit for now. I will practice more in the near future to go sub 50 seconds. I will do it this month I promise! I went from 100 TPM to 120 TPM by forcing myself to play Sudden @ level 300 and Sudden Ti. Trying to manual lock all the time also seems to have improved my speed. I will see if practicing like you do can help me. I'm also interested in how other top players practice to improve their speed. Do you play regularly? And do you use specific options or special programs for your training? Nice games Kitaru and Jan! Hopefully you will both go under 40 seconds soon! That would be cool.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Would the instant win button be based on the Playing forever pattern?
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds You can bind the instant win button to any key, but by default it's set to the comma key. It's functionality works as follows: press the instant win button, the game ends instantly, and you are chosen as the winner. Pretty nifty idea if you ask me. My thinking is that it could add so much more to the depth of the game, much like T-Spins! I've been trying to work out a theoretical strategy. I think maybe the optimal time to use the instant win button is either when you think you may lose, or as soon as possible. Even if you think you'll win, you may want to use it just in case you think the opponent may attempt it. (Are you catching on to the mind games this function will create? Crazy!)
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Broke my personal record again...
