You need to have a Director account to post those long videos. Nice video TL. I always enjoy watching "replays" hehe. It's funny how he started stacking higher when you beated him in that first game. Reminds me of what I do when I lose.

a CRAZY video by a japanese player. Tgm 1 in big mode in 20G mode http://youtube.com/watch?v=acqtsZQ3AwQ Check out the ending score PS: S9 at 443
The score is good and high because combos are easier to get in 5-wide, and a GM on any game is an achievement, but overall, the video isn't as crazy as I expected. There doesn't seem to be a lot of DAS charging. And why do the tetrominoes come out half a block over(!)?
DASing can be dangerous in big mode with only one preview. You can't afford to make a wrong placement. But the player didn't DAS at obvious times and also rotated the wrong way in some instances, so I guess I agree with you that the video wasn't as crazy as I expected. I'm also guessing that the spawning position is meant to give the player a helping hand, kind of like a hold piece. Can't have that T get stuck in the center with such a low ceiling.
i'm only questioning the I piece placement at 5:18 game time. can't expect someone to be perfect though ...or maybe that was the best spot, it just seemed awkward.
Big mode, played well, does require some very counter-intuitive placements. I recommend people who haven't already to give it a try, it's actually surprisingly different from regular Tetris play.
I think it's related to the fact that they move sidewys half a block per step, meaning that using DAS and wallkicks is a must.
In the event of a time out, the furthest level wins. In the event of a tie, the defending player wins. By random coincidence, "player 2" was defending for the 2 failures (time outs). For the other 2 videos, the "player" who reaches level 100 first wins. In fact for the final video this was "player 1". It's possible to clear lines together for a draw, but my timing was slightly off.
that's awesome ct can't wait to see you play doubles mode by yourself. i've tried it in tetris unlimited but that was much easier for sure. i was able to reach level 9 though (starting on level 1), if anyone wants to challenge that
yosh !! you asked me if i had seen your video, yeah ! very cool ! at first i though it was simply identical keyboard control layout in both player on mame ! Arghh can it be possible to play and complete a real double mode like this ?!?
Yeah, I actually controlled the joystick and buttons from my Astro City to do it. I wish I had a means of recording my hands as I play... Would make for a much more entertaining video. Did anyone catch how in the first 2 games, the geometry of the 2 screens diverged and then converged again? That's my favorite part. That and the fact that all my mistakes in Death Mode were made by both hands at the same time.
Thanks, I hadn't seen that in a while. That's actually more or less exactly how I position my hands to work the controls... I was questioning my technique after reading about the one-handed Death player that pinched the shaft of the joystick with the base of his thumb and index finger. Unlike VTF-INO though, I don't have the option of lifting my hand from the stick to hit the middle button when I have to use DAS+IRS. That's especially tricky with the left hand, but I can do it. <EDIT> High quality video for those interested: http://www.tetrisattack.net/colour_thief/Synchro.mp4
