My progress can be found all over the forum. I'll gather all data to keep better track of my progress and post somewhere. It's level instead of lines. To complete a TGM game you usually need to clear between 280 and 300 lines. There's a good chance you'll be Gm within 6 months if you keep this up!
Thanks. My biggest difficulty consists in making lots of tetrises in 20G mode. I usually play in "survival" mode after 1 or 2 minutes max !
It's interesting to see you posting in this thread. Yesterday i was discussing with a dude about your skill level. Surely it's rude, hope it can be an Electroconvulsive therapy (electroshock) for you : As i know you today, i strongly think you can't get any major achievment anymore (eg S13 or GM) ! And the way you want to improve your time attack records is hypothetical and futile. ps1 : i'm saying it honestly because i like you (but i'm not gay and i don't want a blowjob) ps2 : ps1 is a private joke..
You teach me nothing, I perfectly know that in term of grade, the last thing I can realisticly do are MV and S12. I won't be GM because I estimate that I have been spending enough time on M ROLL to see that I can't get this shit. I don't see your point except being offensing and discouraging. I certainly won't become sad in seeing more and more GM coming around me if I can complete the games 30 sec below them. If you could see how I am playing, it is totaly opposed to this time attack record spirit, I am strongly improving my consistency these days. I am still trying to get why you tell me that. Because I can't complete the M ROLL ?? Seriously is that the only one objectif of TGM for you ? So 777 is a shit because he can't do it as well ?
can't you stop whining ? plan something to get a real achievment ? now we have the Stunfest date, i'll train hard in Ti to at least get MM, and get back in track for TAP until there. Prepare yourself for this real event.
Now, haha, if they want to record a superplay movie on TI, that will be me. You really underestimate a point : TI is : 1 : surviving until 999 2 : performing enough tetrises 3 : get these fucking 9 COOL The 3rd point is really the hardest thing, it is for me the main difficulty of the game. And I would be surprised to see you ready for this in 3 months.
Speaking for myself, not at all; I certainly don't consider myself "above" 777 in skill level just because I'm ranked above him on Tetris-Holic. I should point out that he simply hates the idea of the m-roll and has never practiced it - I'm sure he could be the best orange Gm if he wanted to be. I think that decision is arbitrary and silly, but it doesn't affect my respect for his playing skill.
I tried to explain you so many time where were your lacks and default and how to improve that i feel useless to trying it again. Let's resume it by something affordable for you : YOU SUCK !
Aha! I found this picture again, finally. This was my progress through most of 2008 http://defender.arcimpulse.com/TC/IMG_1916.JPG In the year or so since then, I haven't made too much progress...
You told me to play smartly in slowing down for fixing mistakes, and only play at strong speed when almost everything is out of danger. --> I am eaxactely working this way. You suggested me to watch a ton of m roll of video during the tube, bus or train... --> Too lazy..And it is out of subject with this story of 9 COOL. Try again to explain your point of view excluding "you suck", that reminds me too much my job. I have been kicked by my hierarchy because I replied to a commercial with a bit of cynisme, you are expressing to me exactely like them..
I'm still on the bus that bring me home.. since this week end i've started again playing master mode.. i had trouble at the beginning with section cool. After some try it appear more easier than i expected to not miss section cool as long as you don't have problem with overall speed acceleration..
Afters months of death mode and weeks of "try and reach 999 in master mode by doing only tetrises", I read this and thought I should try. Boum, first try, Gold SK around 650, S9 at 928, 999 at 8min32 without playing fast and first m-roll for ages My two biggest problems: -I don't have the cheat file for the shmupmame I use so no m-roll training (and no death 500 speed training either. someone please tell me how to cheat on shmupmame v2.2 pliiiiiz) -Why on earth do I play like shit whenever I try to record an inp
I have tgm2p.xml in the mame/cheat.zip file. Works fine in all recent versions of MAME. Don't know where to get it though.
