Tournament: Contest: Tetris Concept Independence Day

[Kitaru]

He's playing on TAP now.

[Caithness]

Well what do you know, I finally made it. Now to work on getting to 500 in Big mode.

[clincher]

Going to start playing this so might as well post my progress

Great job clearing TGM+ and getting S1 in TAP Master Big Block Mode Caithness! ^^

Though I'm ineligible for the prize, this is a great excuse for me to start tackling that "oh-god-i'm-too-lazy-i'll-do-it-some-other-day" TGM+ mode. whee!~

[XaeL]

i got like 405 now

Moving from SRS to ARS is hard @ 20g. I can stack at probably 1.5-2tps with ars 0G tho. THe speed isnt an issue, its the inability to place my pieces wherever i want @ 20g.

[Kitaru]

You haven't reached 20G yet. That said, I feel you on that point. Picking up ARS for high gravity is no small task.

[XaeL]

I realise its not 20g (its prbably like 2G or such). But i can't even put my I's anywhere

For me, it took about a month (about an hour a day) to go from Ti-ars (floorkicks) to ARS without constantly getting the I stuck.

It comes instinctively with practice, like everything else regarding Tetris strategy.

But it sure sucks when you're used to floorkicks.

Learn to IRS. Or stack better.

It'll take time before you get used to the mind **** in the 300 to 500 sections. Go take a look at the internal gravity in the wiki. It goes up and then back down before you start with the 20G sections. You better spend some time practicing in TAP Master or in the available clones as TGM+ is hardly suited for this.

[Caithness]

20G is actually a lot easier than 2G for me, because I know exactly how the pieces are going to act. When gravity is high but not quite 20G, I frequently get fooled into thinking it is 20G and that something will go straight down to the bottom, and am surprised when it doesn't.

[colour_thief]

Just 3 more weeks for you guys to get your TGM+ on! Don't be caught cramming at the last minute.

It's in the old default set. Just replace the backgrounds in /res/graphics with the ones in /res/graphics/oldbg.

I personally like the old ones better; they have more of a Sega Tetris feel.
