Well, I'm getting my money's worth out of it. It's different for everyone.

Man i've been addicted to Tetris for weeks. I play on WiFi daily and keep increasing my record. I win pretty much 75% of the time.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I play Tetris every once in a while. I'm not that good online, but I still have fun :3

Yes, I think the game is worth the price. I like the new modes, especially Push :D

FELIPE NO

Sadly, I feel that tetris online is more based on luck since you well...have to hope you get the right pieces in the right order to even come remotely close to winning.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

The game is rigged, I tell you! Every time I play tetris online someone else always gets every right piece in exactly the right order!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I haven't really played enough online classic mode to really say this but...
Doesn't each player start with the same order of blocks? The only variables to affect this is how the player uses the pieces and maybe the items screwing up the order. Maybe.

At least on the NES/GB version I doubt Tetris has anything to do with luck. In my opinion, it has more to do with a person's critical-thinking ability than luck.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nope. I think that's actually better than having each person get the same order of blocks. It makes you think more about where to set up your stuff, and the opponent can't cheat and see what you're doing.

Arf.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

except, unless I don't pay attention, you both get the same Exact blocks.

Hmm, I finally understand how to beat lvl 5 push now. Basically, you need to create distance from the computer, since it's insanely fast. If you get the the point where you share territory, chances are... it's gonna win. Set up 2-3 lines of filler blocks to slow the computer down and try to make a tetris. Sometimes, the computer seems more interested in trying to get into your area than making a tetris, allowing you to take the win.

I was speaking idiomatically.

But is it in the same order on the DS version? I really got to get back into that game mode, I'm playing way too much catch and push modes. And then there's my recent purchase of Jump Super Stars >.>

Anywho, you're right about the opponent copying your movements if that were the case. But in a way you gain a advantage if the opponent does that. If you're the quick type they'll automatically screw up as you hard drop nearly all the pieces. From what I can tell its pretty hard to keep track of two (or more) screens at once and then doing the same with your screen =p.

Unless he or she has photographic memory.

Nah, you don't get the same sequence of blocks. if I correctly understand what you're saying. I'm pretty good at the 4-player mode. The few times I lose, it's always because I got lightning bolted (locked) + mushroomed (sped up) and everyone's tetris's just happened to hit me at the same time. Morose mother fuckers.

As for that Lvl 5 Push strategy, yeah. I do that too. Generally, I can out-Tetris anyone, including that level 5 computer, so once I put some garbage layers, it's easy going.

Yep... push is fun. I sorta can't get used to standard though.
The thing thats really hard for me is level 5 standard against the CPU. I know I can't out tetris it really. All I can do is hope that the computer just sets me up for 3 tetrises so that I can end it quickly.

Anyone ever play pure in Tetrinet? Full matches with good people (6 people total) would last 10-15 seconds.... I build way slower on the DS though, especially since i'm not used to pressing up for hard drop.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Hot. I finally got passed the 7000 rating mark on WFC. Good stuff. My earlier attempt was stopped at 6996, and then a loss knocked me down to 6684. Hopefully I can stay above this number now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anyone know if there's any new level thing past level 150? It kept repeating, so I sorta lost interest.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow... I don't think this has been posted, but this is pretty cool...

I played against TGM-ARIKA online. Holy crap he kicked my ass. I was able to hold him off for about 5 minutes, but he's so freaking relentless. There's also the distinct possiblity that s/he was toying with me.

I've also hit the glitch in Push where I clearly win but it gives me a Lose, and my rating goes down. It pisses me off. This has happened a couple times already.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Huh, I've never gotten that Push glitch.

I've been wondering lately what happens in Push if you clear all the blocks.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm assuming thats what they show in that link i just posted... blocks just fall continuously I guess.

I've been practicing that tspin back to back thing... Its hard to pull off, but it totally rocks. With 3 T pieces, you can pretty much kill people instantly if you set up your field correctly...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I have it and it is a fun game and I love the touch tetris mode

FELIPE NO
