Apparently the world record was beaten a couple of months back: Code: WR--HBT--------------------Gm - 999 @ 07:25:73 - 08/13/12 - Orange line
Probably one of the hardest Tetris transitions I've ever made. At least with Ti Classic I can maintain some grace with the 3-piece preview and hold option, even under faster speeds. Once I hit 20G in TAP master... I let the lock delay lock my pieces. I find that when I lock my pieces manually, I make poorer tetrimino placement, which is (to me) much more critical than it is in TGM3. Hence why my time is very slow, but I don't think it's too terribly bad for playing my first TGM2 master games on a serious level. Also, TGM3 was generous enough to allow me a floorkick. I miss them...
Don't worry, my personal experience is that playing TAP-like modes made my stacking much much more solid in TGM3-like modes. I was actually having a lot of trouble making anything good in TAP clones, and then without even trying I got better results in TGM3 clones like Sudden Ti. Keep this up, you can do it!
My last attempt at playing months ago. I can't even reach 1 anymore. Yes, all those 'Today Records' are me. I didn't bother putting in my name until the last play. [Edit] WHY IS THE PHOTO SO BIG???
New PB, 1st clear on AC, missed the roll for maybe 2-3 secs S6 @ 11:14:58 https://twitter.com/nicofromtokyo/status/278395728399835136/photo/1
First clear! I've been practicing 1-500 and 500-999 over winter break, and now that I'm back on a good keyboard from winter break, it paid off. I had really bad holes in rows 4 and 5 for 200+ levels, so im ok with this. Grade is higher than I thought. I have a feeling it's going to be very easy to get to s8/s9 50/50 percent of the time, but my time is always going to be around 9:15.
