Records: [Texmaster] Novice, Normal, Advance and Doubles

Well, my second GM. It took three attempts to get it. But only 9 seconds faster than my first GM 1.5 years ago.
I stopped playing keyboard and texmaster soon after my first GM since I bought TGM1 and a Blast City cabinet shortly after. I haven't played a huuuuge amount of the real TGM1, bits here and there but never got a GM grade. (I've had some close ones.. meeting all the requirements but topping out at 998 or failing score or time and completing it)

I guess this proves that I can at least do it. And also that I play better on a keyboard... When I play on my arcade it is usually rare for me to get to 500 and beyond (only a few times on a night) as I usually make mistakes and top out in 300-450. Here, on a keyboard there were no issues. None. Only played three games here but the lowest one topped out at ~780. I find TGM1 hard to play with a stick compared to Death or Shirase which is what I normally play.

Happy that I improved my time but I wish I could have such an easy time playing pre-20G on stick as well.

EDIT: 12:41:21, 128158 if/when img breaks in the future (I really need to start doing this in my record posts! So many dead links now)

 

Just got GM!!!!

Congratulations! I had a feeling that it was close looking at the updates

Enjoy your day of infinite happiness!

 

Not a new pb in terms of rank, but in terms of levels cleared:

Normal, Level 553, S2@07:25.96

 

New Normal PB! Not a huge improvement, but an improvement nonetheless!

GM: 13:12.00

 

2 GMs in one day! and one of them was a PB by almost 30 seconds!

12:44.83

 

Getting a lot more consistent! This was actually the second of two GMs in a row! 12:39.83

I really need to just move on to TAP...

 

Switched to Texmaster to try streaming more. As a side effect, it's easier to post here now. Yay!

It also means it's easier for me to go back and play TGM1 rules, so here's my first Texmaster normal mode GM.

 

Got S4 for the first time. Also, I kinda consistently get to Level 500 now.

 

Only been playing for ~2 weeks so this'll probably get deprecated soon, but here's my current PB for normal

Rank: S4
Level: 599
Time: 10:36:90

 

Well it's not much, but a slight improvement! Playing some Sudden/Death mode has certainly paid off since I'm way more comfortable at 20G now.

 

I sliiiiightly bumped my normal mode PB today. Still an S4, but I hit the 700s at least! If I get a really lucky game I might be looking at a game clear soon.

Rank: S4
Level: 716
Time: 10:48:86

stream highlight:

 

It turns out getting a lot of tetrises actually raises your score! Pretty bad level, but a new rank PB, finally got the S5!

 

Not only it makes your score higher, but in addition it keeps the overall action simpler to understand, and forces you to learn to stack well faster.

 

I feel like I'm spamming the thread like crazy now, but I just hit S6 Time needs work still, but the score is no biggie now. If I can just get a bit more consistent in 20G, then we might get some exciting stuff happening pretty soon!

Rank: S6
Level: 699
Time 10:14:40

 

I REALLY thought I had my first game clear here, but of course I messed it up at the last second.

Rank: S8
Level: 931
Time: 13:28:70
Score: 110 984

 

I DID IT, I FINALLY ACTUALLY DID IT!!! AND SUB-13 TO BOOT!!

took me about 2 months from start to finish! sadly I had no free replay slots here, so there's no video, and I wish I could have streamed it because my reaction was priceless <3

Rank: GM
Level: 999
Time: 12:51:46

 

This is probably the worst case of "99 level stop" I ever had.
Here is the context: my last tex normal pb (09:31:55) has been made on August 28th 2015 (like one year ago). I've been almost everyday since. And THIS occured:




That stupid game happen to be a b*tch sometimes

 

soooooooooooo this happened
my second Gm ever, and this time I got the replay!

Level: 999
Rank: GM
Time: 12:44:40

 

So, for what it is worth bout 8 secs faster than couple years ago..



greetings
