i'm sure those same people felt intimidated by TGM-HOLiC, TGM-Arika, and NOAH. i used to feel intimidated playing someone who could make 2 tetrises faster than i could make 1. anyone who feels disadvantaged by playing someone with a strange looking name should just get over it. a couple years ago i briefly switched my name to "grandma" and promptly increased my rating by a few hundred points. i think people were taking it easy on me, maybe picturing playing their grandmother or maybe my rating increased because i got better.
I played some hebo netplay too thanks to Rosti LFC (I'm pretty sure that's who I played) and Tepples (For recommending blockstats to possibly find an opponent). It is very awesome. I just wish there were servers where you could go on any old time and find someone to play.
my only real complaint about hebo netplay is that there's no lobby, readying up, etc. if you want to play tonight though kasumi leave me your aim name or something
Bumping this thread to let you all know that this game also has an "OST" with crazy Korean music. http://tetris.hangame.com/zone/ost/listen.nhn
