True, the ultimate achievement would be to do better than Edo. I'll try and get to S9 speed eventually, but I don't think I'm going to put much more time in the game any time soon. As for ST2, it's almost identical to ST3.
Edo likes ST2 better for some reason, though. S9 isn't as fast as it looks because there is a pretty significant amount of ARE which you can move during (though it cancels out of it) and there is also room above the field between row 20 and where the piece spawns... kind of like how T&Dr.M nerfs level 29 by adding gravity delay. I forgot how ST2 works, as I only played it a few times and not in a while. I can add a leaderboard to this post for that game as well if people would be interested...
Oops, fixed. I've made several tries at a sub-200 today, and my closest was ~750k at ~110 lines, but I ate shit and died shortly after the 750k mark. So frustrating...
IMO it's much better than the marathon modes in the official games lately...Also, I can play it on my DS/Wii.
Either way, I'm down to 170 now and Kitaru is going to get owned pretty soon so yeah. (maybe Edo too)
You could play NES Tetris and GB Tetris Plus on your DS/Wii as well, so that's not exactly a hugely convincing argument.
I've not found a good NES emulator for DS. I play NES Tetris on my Wii anyway, I'm just bad at it (I don't have the DAS skills for level 19+).
The NES emulator on DS has always been excellent, but more so now that it's actually regularly updated. I regularly play LJ65 on it, when I feel like something more old school feeling than NDS_TGM.
I am amazed there aren't even ten max outs on this leaderboard. Come on, even I can max out this game.
