Jagorochi, You will certainly be irritated, I think I've underestimed you during a little time with your 2min12 at lv.300 thanks to the cheat.. I've told myself : Jago can do better 300 it's not terrible.. But after 2 hours, I've couldn't do over than 1min29..with a fuckin keyboard.. It's not astonishing, it's proportionnal with our level.. At 400 I can resist only 37 sec!! I would know how many time you can hold? For everybody who has the cheat..
I have a prerelease version of Lockjaw with timings set similar to death 300 (TAP settings, Death, Entry delay 150 ms, Lock delay 300 ms), and I can't go longer than 30 seconds.
At Death 300 I can last quite a while... A little over 3 minutes when I tried yesterday. I could probably eventually do it indefinitely, but I'm not there yet. At Death 500 my best is about 1:20. What I'm not sure of at this point is what would be better to practice. The idea, of course, is to maintain scaffolding during training, but... if both goals are outside my reach which is best? I'm not convinced harder is better, and think I will switch to 300 speed until I can play much better (over 3 minutes average).
I guess this is as good a thread as any to mention that I reached level 500 with time 3:27. Two seconds away!
I've a question for the 3 death masters, Jago,c_t and matt, I ask myself everyday if I'm able to get, one day, the M rank, I would know what is your average score when you play a serie of ta death, are you able to pass 350 every time? Or sometimes, do you make some bad scores like 200-250?
I feel like I could break 400 every time if I wanted to, but because I am playing fast I will often make mistakes and die much sooner like 200-250 like you said. With practice my average is always increasing... It all comes in time.
Ok thanks a lot to you! That reassure me a lot!! A good friend of me suggered to take an extasy to increase the concentration..He use this method for increase his ability in fighting games.. I can do 0-100 in 44 sec.. I can performe almost every tricks at 300 and 400 I can resist 50 sec at level 400.. So I think with extasy I can theorically break the Torikan The major problem for me is the fast decreasing of "spirit energy" and concentration at ~350.
*image of that old "Winners Don't Do Drugs" screen flickers across head* oh, no need to dig it up and post it though.
Seriously though, the use of drugs to enhance performance makes the score less worthy in my opinion. It also takes away from your self respect. In a way, it's like the TAS issue. If you're utilizing techniques beyond your natural limit, that's cheating.
The only drug I use is occasionally some Guiness... and I'm not exactly convinced it helps in any way. Seriously though, all the drugs in the world won't help you win. You've got to rewire your brain through practice and learning... There is no magic "good at tetris" pill.
