  49. Raem
    Date: Sat, Nov 12 2011 18:40:53

    I tend to mix styles throughout the game. often 4 wide or 3 wide + tetrises + t-spins in one game (I am a fan of triple t-spins) Many people go that way in high level tetris arena, though comboing is disliked I would share a video of my gamestyle sample if i had something to record it with?

  50. Zombo
    Date: Sat, Nov 12 2011 23:10:28

    if ppl dont combo then what do they do? only tetris and t-spins? and they dont stack for t-spins... so its just regular stacking + situational t-spins? use FRAPS to record so you setup triple t-spins all the time?

  51. Raem
    Date: Sun, Nov 13 2011 09:33:59

    people do make combos, it's just that it is risky, because it's overpowered, so whenever people see that someone is comboing, he becomes a target to KO asap. And styles vary, really. Others (including myself) like regular stacking with situational spins, others like build-ups. I've seen some players to make difficult build-ups which allow them to make something like x8 combo with two triple t-spins in it, but the difficulity level is immense. I personally prefer freestyling over big build-ups because in pro rooms you are getting a shitload of garbage. Freestyling like i do allows to continue doing t-spins, but it can ruin zt stacking for instance. http://youtu.be/r5KEZk3lhjE Here's me playing. Did some mistakes, because tetrisfriends is atm laggy, and I am not really used to this one yet, but enough to get the idea. I will do better one soon. note I could do Perfect Clear at 1:23. People often start the game with Perfect Clear against comboers, beacuse it's about 8 garbage lines. (also lol, I accidently recorded with the sound, ignore)

  52. webspider
    Date: Sun, Nov 13 2011 12:18:07

    Yo, Guys, I also play there. I still prefer using NullPoMino for serious playing and do mostly missions on TetrisFriends. Arena has some really fucked up items ò.Ó.

  53. Zombo
    Date: Sun, Nov 13 2011 15:37:04

    whats the difference with nullpomino? you can play arena without items if you want to be serious

  54. Raem
    Date: Sun, Nov 13 2011 15:54:39

    well, first of all, Nullpomino is pretty much lagg-free. All the reasons i need. But as I said, I have just started playing nullpo, not used to it yet. And yeah, never played with items on TF.

  55. Zombo
    Date: Sun, Nov 13 2011 16:38:18

    i guess its good that higher level play have many different styles, because at lower lvl ppl always do the same thing, so it means tetris is really varied, lots of depth

  57. webspider

    Since people actually cared for scores. It gets really interesting as soon as you start taking the game physics in account to build your strategy. And yes, I like NullPoMino for the lagfree gameplay at every speed and because it's so customizable.

    Here, new video, this time with garbage, so it's pretty close to actual arena battle Although needed to put a lot of effort into survival in second part of the game, thus not scoring many points. Anyway, I think I did quite well for the first minute I think with such play i would send 120-ish lines in arena if i got lucky [video=youtube;JFIzFpTkx70]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFIzFpTkx70[/video]

  61. Zombo
    Date: Mon, Nov 14 2011 23:39:56

    at the beginning why you drop the stick on top of the overhang? is it necessary to accomplish the double t-spin double?

  62. webspider
    Date: Mon, Nov 14 2011 23:42:10

    I guess it isn't for the spin to take effect, because the t-piece would never touch it whatever way you rotate it.

  63. Raem
    Date: Tue, Nov 15 2011 14:25:41

    oh no it's not necessary, I was just waiting for 2 T-blocks in a row for fun, and it seemed like right place to put that stick there.Would work the same way without it, webspider is right The block on 0:49, on the other hand , was a must for that triple t-spin, because it wouldn't turn in correctly without that stick. But pretty much anything would do, L, I, O blocks as well.

  64. Zombo
    Date: Tue, Nov 15 2011 17:10:52

    so how did you learn all this? reading some tetris website? at :22 you set up a triple double attack by dropping the Z in there, did you have to memorize that? what are some of the most useful setups to learn? I've practice pretty all the notches for TSDs so I'm good with that, also know how to use the Kaidan setup should I learn TST setups too and t-spin combos? are they really useful in real games

  65. Raem
    Date: Tue, Nov 15 2011 20:02:29

    I learned all this by watching others play in the arena, thinking off setups in my head and experimenting. I never actually read anything except for how to make a perfect clear. Though I can recommend harddrop forum as a very nice place to learn. at :22 it was a pretty advanced build up, but very easy to memorize. The most important thing for me to start a triple t-spin is one little square 'hanging out'; everything else can be modified. Most often variation is putting L block on one side leaving one empty square above the square that is 'hanging out', making an overhang on the other side. Putting Z block sideways while removing one line with it leaves one empty square below the square that is 'hanging out' thus allowing to do double t-spin after clearing the triple. (eeh, my explaining skills suck). as for the most useful setups to learn, I can draw the most common ones I use. Also learning all setups is of course not necessary, imo you should get it naturally after playing using the big setups. TST, for example, is only worth doing when you have big enough speed to begin with

    uhh 10 minutes? or 1 minute... i suspect if you have trouble breaking 10 mins, its not an execution problem yet, its a mental problem. meaning you dont know how to stack properly yet. you only need to make 10 tetris to clear it

  73. neXus
    Date: Sat, Nov 26 2011 12:38:34

    Oh shit yeah that was a typo. I don't know my Tetrisfriends times but on Nullpomino my best time is 1:51:60 though I average around 2:20. I just started using all 3 turn buttons, before I just tapped one turn button until I had the position that I wanted, I feel like this is going to save a lot of time once I get really comfortable with it.

  74. Zombo
    Date: Sat, Nov 26 2011 20:54:11

    to get to 1 minute, you just need 1 turn button, to get under 1 minute, you need to learn both turns to get under 40 seconds, you need to learn 2 step finesse

  75. iColor
    Date: Sun, Nov 27 2011 05:11:24

    I'm pretty slow. My PR is: 1:49:49 but I average around 2 mins. EDIT: I've only been using my up arrow key to rotate right.. Just found about the other turn keys. I'm super slow using them though.

  76. Raem
    Date: Mon, Nov 28 2011 08:34:35

I know that 2-3 times I'm stuck for like half a second randomly spinning a piece while I figure out where it goes but other than that this was one of my fastest games lately. I must double in speed :(

  80. Zombo
    Date: Sun, Dec 18 2011 17:23:13

    whats your DAS settings? try to be comfortable at least at 7-7/2 you need to play on the edge, drop pieces without confirming where it went. it means you will misdrop a lot more often when you start increasing your tempo. also you need to stack in such a way that you don't need to rotation your pieces much, just dropping them flat in quick succession.

  81. neXus
    Date: Sun, Dec 18 2011 17:28:53

    My DAS settings were Min 35 Max 35. I tap for every single move except for when I drop at the edges.

  82. Zombo
    Date: Sun, Dec 18 2011 17:33:09

    no what i mean by playing at the edge means "you're playing risky", dont bother making optimal placement, try making the best you can within a very short timeframe (-> raise your tps to 1.5+ for now). as you get better, you'll be able to make the optimal placement AND do it quickly. but yeah you need to exploit DAS for those wall pieces, tapping is too slow. same for the pieces 1 away from the walls. you do DAS, then one tap away from the walls to be in position http://www.livestream.com/welcometozombocom/video?clipId=pla_4ae5a9d9-8af1-47c2-b57c-b8994555968f&utm_source=lslibrary&utm_medium=ui-thumb this video shows a 1 minute solve, but for some reason the video is like 2x slower or something.

  83. Zombo
    Date: Mon, Dec 19 2011 22:28:06

    fuck yesssssssssssssssssssssss finally broke the 1 minute barrier today... 55.98 secs :) replay -> as you can see i made 1 misdrop, but still broke my record. you dont need to give up on a mistake. [video=youtube;r4vBMTK_eBw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4vBMTK_eBw[/video] another helpful tip is to remember that tetrominos are randomized in 7 pieces bag. If you see 2 pieces back to back, you know it will take at least 6 more pieces before that piece re-appears, so don't count on it to land anyway soon! also don't create a hole that would fit a piece that you just used, because chances are it won't appear in a while, unless you notice it in the preview quickly.

    Which tuning styles would you recommend: DAS, ARR, IHS, IRS Also, BTW, I'm on rank 9 so... I don't need pre-rotate or pre-flip yet... i think...

  89. Zombo
    Date: Tue, Dec 20 2011 00:13:12

    DAS and ARR are most important I dont think IHS and IRS are that useful but DAS and ARR are only good if you master them. you will need to be super precise with your fingers but if you press too long the piece will start flying and you'll make a mistake. The best way to describe it is that it makes the pieces more "slippery"

    @Zombo, so I went online to http://code.google.com/p/nullpomino/ and downloaded nullpomino. I was just wondering how to remove the backround and how to change the keyboard settings to those in TF. I got the rotations and hold keys correct but cant find how to change the drop key from "UP (arrow)" to "SPACE". Please help. Also, is this the same game you have? (just to make sure I downloaded the right game...)

    Yeah I was in keyboard settings and I'm not sure what to change... Anyway, what tuning do you use? How to make performance and speed better? Or should I just keep the default settings?

    Commands are on the left, assigned keys on the right. -> Change the first command by pressing enter, then pressing space. Confirm by choosing [SAVE & EXIT] with the arrow keys, then pressing enter again. My settings are down key for soft drop, up key for hard drop, space for hold, y and x for left and right rotation. I'll probably try using asdfjkl; and play holding my hands like some experienced typist like somebody suggested in the harddrop forum to have a consistent setup on every keyboard (except for some ergonomic ones).

    Any tips? I've never understood T-Spins, and i've sort of reached a plateau playing tetris as I do now. What kinds of patterns do you guys look for?

  109. Zombo
    Date: Mon, Feb 6 2012 22:57:44

    you reached a plateau? do you break 1 minute sprint? have you learned double rotations and das to wall tapback?

    @Zombo, what are your configurations? Also, what do the following mean and do? Gravity: 5 G-Max: 250 ARE: 0 ARE Line: 0 Line Delay: 0 Lock Delay: 5 DAS: 8 BGM: 0 BIG: OFF Goal: 40

  111. Zombo
    Date: Wed, Feb 15 2012 22:37:34

    gravity is the rate it falls g-max is the rate it falls when you press down ARE/ ARE line dont worry about it line delay is the time it stops when clearing a line, keep it at 0 lock delay is the time it takes for a piece to lock after it touches another piece das does nothing i think if you tuned your options bgm is music BIG ... well just try it out goal is obviously... the number of lines you need to clear

    Can someone give me an idea of what a T-Spin is? It's pretty hard for me to build one, given I normally only do tetrises :| What do the terms DAS(etc) mean? :

  113. Zombo
    Date: Tue, Feb 21 2012 00:33:20

    DAS means delayed auto-shift if you hold a button, it repeats that direction after a while T-spin means 3 of the 4 corners of the T are covered look it up on youtube

    I have compiled a reference sheet to help you all remember the common t-spin setups. http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?5duk3nd5qbavebd Now, before you practice t-spinning, you need to master dual rotation. T-spins require specific rotations to function, so if you can't rotate using both buttons, you'll be severely limited. Practicing dual rotations itself will take a lot of time.

    @Zombo can you explain what ARE is...

  120. Zombo
    Date: Fri, Apr 20 2012 22:22:01

    ARE is the delay after you lock a tetromino and before next tetromino appears at the top

    zero means piece stick to the wall right away, its the fastest possible setting. when you're holding a key for DAS, you do it because you want to stick to the wall, therefore theres no time wasted to do that

    Why do I barely scrape 2 minutes most of the time on Nullpomino but get 1:30s on TF where I am muss less comfortable with the keybinds.

    I play TF maybe once a month. I play NP almost daily. I don't get it.

  133. Zombo
    Date: Mon, May 14 2012 20:16:17

    if you make a lot of mistakes in nullpo and not tf, maybe your settings are too fast

  134. neXus
    Date: Mon, May 14 2012 20:44:41

    I usually restart once I make a big mistake on NP because it's fast and easy unlike TF where restarting takes like 7-10 seconds and requires taking hands off the keyboard. The settings I play at are at times a tad fast for me but I'm trying to get used to them and I do have "good" runs with no or little mistakes and my best NP time was like 1:48 or something.

  135. Zombo
    Date: Mon, May 14 2012 20:48:10

    like i said, could be graphics nullpo has a grid by default while tf don't, it screwed me up, so i removed the grid. nullpo block graphics are kinda shitty, so it could affect as well

    Date: Tue, May 15 2012 11:48:58

    Holee sheet @Zombo So I recorded myself playing both a decent TF and NP game and I put them side to side in Vegas when I noticed something. Check this out: [video=youtube;TfzaDRmirlo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfzaDRmirlo[/video] I'm not slower on NP, NP is running too fast. Not sure why the Vegas rendered an extra 40 seconds to the end of that. edit: why did not one tell me the game has to be run at 60FPS, why does it even allow you to set the FPS above 60 if it fucks up the times, what the hell.

    you realize battle 2p is not against live players? you're playing against an AI that mimics the player's talent level, could also be a replay of the player. Only Arena is true multiplayer.
