I have tried to cut the crap and get right to the point of the subject, distilling everything out to six simple rules. I will try to provide a little more pointers for you. Noone will learn anything from watching me, I am basically a speed demon with no advanced skills whatsoever.Īll these things considered, how do you achieve speed? I was reading a "godspeed" strategy guide written by plibble member Logix which basically suggested using all controls, remapping your keyboard and have faith in God. This is because they are too slow to actually threaten me, but their stacking is artistry, and new players can learn a great deal from watching their textbook examples of playing. There are a number of players on the Quadranet that I respect immensely as players even though they could never beat me in 1 vs 1. Sometimes even judging people by how often they win is misplaced. No, indeed, the practice to judge people by their speed is unfair. This had nothing to do with his real speed, since at T2net he was at least as fast than me, instead, this was a function of network lag. Playing at the TetriNET 2 servers, sometimes a friend of mine called acidboy could not even beat 40 bpm, while I was merrily making ground at 110. Now playing at QuadraNet, I can manage over 130 and sometimes even over 140 with no greater effort, something other players find impossible. For example, when playing TetriFAST I had always great trouble beating 100 bpm.

The reason for this partly being, the speed you can achieve is in a great deal dependant on the hardware and software configuration of your computer. Besides that, the common practice of judging players' skills by their speed is ridiculous. Nevertheless, sacrificing speed for accuracy and intelligence is almost always preferrable. In a battle between equally skilled players, of course the faster one will be at an advantage. This does not mean that the brute force approach to competitive Tetris is doomed to failure. Given a slow player this lands us at 70x3=210 blocks per minute, which is simply impossible for a human player to maintain. Consider for example the fact that a skilled T2net player will almost invariably beat a VSA T2net bot, arguably a lot better stacker than a newbie Tetris player, operating at three times his own speed. There is no substitute for wise stacking, period.
So I figured I might as well write an article on it.Īs I have often stated (well, it even says so on my pure TetriNET strategy guide), speed has always been overrated in competition Tetris.
However at the present with the increasing popularity of TetriFAST among the few players that are left, speed has become an obsession. Even in the old days of regular TetriNET, people were respected for this talent, even though regular TetriNET has to be one of the slowest online Tetris games ever created and the difference between a slow and a fast player is almost negligable. Let's read.Īmong all online Tetris players, there has since long been a craze for speed. These are articles written by 'spindizzy', who was famous in his day on TetriNET along with his clan HELLFIRE. This is for all you ignorant multiplayer cherries who whine about garbage lines being sent to all, and who are looking for a shining beacon of wisdom and hope.
