Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Ordinarily, fast DAS is intended to get a piece to the wall as fast as possible, and the player can backtrack the piece after that. There are special ways to "finesse" blocks (caffeine's term) under SRS with fast DAS. See this diagram for your first clue. To learn more, see [[Finesse]].
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds "8"s followed by ")"s are so cool. i had that happen to me a couple times so i had to change the number. i don't get the active time stat anyway. i understand how it works, but it always seems to be 5-6 seconds shorter than your actual time. never see it 20s less.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds jujube, for that, click "disable smilies in this post." about fast das, you're not supposed to hold left or right and then wait for it to reach the column while you quickly drop it. you'll misdrop for sure. it's far more accurate and quick to tap tap tap where you need to go, except for the wall and sometimes close to the wall (for which you can refer to the finesse article). and what's so wrong with that term anyway? Code: definition: [n] subtly skillful handling of a situation if there's a better term, then fine by me, but that seems to fit well enough.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Because LJ has small delays when you drop a piece and clear lines, and they just happen to add up to 5-6 every time.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds ah ok thanks kotetsu-yeah i guess the active time stat would be more useful if you were playing with line clear delay. of course no one wants that in 40 lines which is all i'm looking at.
Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds Nothing I guess, although the term ?????(en: control/input optimization) was around since 1998. Same goes for ????(en: spin moves/fitting-in, circa 198 and twists and so on. I guess Japanese terms tend to get more literal and precise while terms here tend more to appropriate general terms in figurative manners. OTOH again, some Japanese-originated terms like ?????(en: Zangi-moves) and ????(en: Torikan) do sound a bit more playful.

Re: [Lockjaw] 40 Lines & 180 Seconds wow, just a few less tetrominoes and you would've made it. that was certainly a high enough TPM. great game i remember how good it felt to finally break 50 seconds.
