What are considered the definitive tetris games? People say Puyo Puyo but isn’t that more a color matching game?

>>15585393

>What are considered the definitive tetris games?

Tetris The Absolute The Grand Master 2 PLUS, Tetris The Grand Master 3 Terror-Instinct or Sega Tetris on the dreamcast

>>15585407

>arcade only

Hopefully they emulate alright, thanks!

>>15585382

If Tetris is competitive, Puyo Puyo is a fighting game?

>>15585478

People stopped playing that game with me as a teen. Even blackout drunk and high as a kite I could beat anyone I knew back then. Eventually I had to put my SNES in storage and people stopped trying to beat me at it as a result, then i started hating all normalfags, including those people, because they were still as retarded as they were when they were 14. Tetris attack isn't really deeper, it just requires more reflexes than regular tetris. Fuck those x? after x13 too. At least puzzle league registered longer chains.

>>15585461

It’s a shame it never really caught on over here.

>>15585473

lets see a relaxing yet intense webm of your play, friend.

>>15585478

That was one hell of a satisfying png.

>>15585444

also literally zero niggers

>>15585382

How the fuck do you compete in tetris? There's literally no interaction between the players.

>>15585670

wrong

>>15585382

This is surprisingly comfy.

>>15585758

I know, these embedding services are a pain with how shitty some of them are. Here's a reliable one that'll at least work with all of the features it should have.

>>15585775

What you don't like it? It just works.

I'LL BANG FOR YOU, JEFF

>>15585758

Is invidio.us okay? Also, get ready to see some Tetris played cuhrayzee.

>>15585792

>invidio

yeah, that is the only one that is not cucked, yet

>>15585707

Are your retarded? Nothing one player does affects the other player's game, unlike other puzzle games that at least drop a pile of blocks on your opponent when you pull off a big chain. Nothing happens at all in tetris. Each player is just playing the game independently. "Competitive" tetris is the dumbest concept in existence.

>>15585762

Most high level CTWC players are total bros, a few days ago some former champions streamed a drunk grudge match to promote the upcoming tournament. There was also a later part of the stream where they practiced playing one-handed Tetris where one controlled the d-pad and the other controlled the buttons, but I don't think it's clipped anywhere

>>15585801

Wrong

>>15585809

Correct.

>>15585801

Track events in the Olympics aren't competitive by that logic. Guys run as fast as they can and whoever finishes first wins. It's only in Crash 'n The Boys that they're throwing broken hurdles and tornado kicking each other.

Also some Tetris game modes do in fact create lines of garbage on the enemy playing field if you clear multiple lines at once.

>>15585821

Not in classic Tetris.

>>15585798

Gotcha, I’ll stick with invdio in the future. what’d hooktube do? It’s hard to keep up with the drama sometimes.

>>15585805

I love how the best stuff always seems to come from these two. *Lets just pray the community doesn’t go the way of GDQ. Whenever I hear women in the background it always makes me nervous.

>Why haven’t you gotten gud at Tetris /v/? It’s a classic.

Too busy getting good at fighting games. Though I don't mind playing Tetris with others. Also some fighting game players do play Tetris. Vid related.

>>15585792

That was a great set.

>>15585801

It depends on the version. The Grandmaster 2 makes it so you can influence the opponent with special pieces that can really screw them up. In many games the blocks you delete appear on the other person's screen from the bottom. Puyopuyo x Tetris is definitely one of the more competitive puzzle games out there.

>>15585853

I think the woman is one of their wives. It seems like a very close, tight-knit community.

is there a good tetris classic for web-browsers? I use http://farter.tk/tetr.js/ but that is nu-tetris grand master style. I'd prefer to play classic and I'm too lazy to set up emulators on linux

Sounds like you got a major case of not liking “thing”.

>>15586754

Some of the things these players do look terribly overwhelming. That DDR_DAN player was also one of the Top 4 in Arcana Heart 3 which is one of the more technical and faster 2D fighters out there.

>>15586820

I don't know about web browsers but I use Fightcade 2 to play online with others. They have a whole set of roms and all the files you need in the Fighting Game thread OP.

>>15586848

It sounds like he's simply joking.

Download Nullpomino

And find some packs

Grade Mania 3 is pretty fun

>>15585451

Oh god is this that shit with the pentaminos in normal rotation?

>don't need a straight line

>get straight line after straight line

>need straight line

>get anything but a straight line

Is Tetris programmed to fuck up your shit or what?!

>>15588879

NEStris and the Game Boy version are unfiltered RNG, so there's a raw 1/7 probability of receiving any piece at any time. That's why some competitions keep track both of the number of I-pieces received and how long an I-piece drought has lasted, although at most tournaments they use a special version of the game where both players are given the same RNG seed to keep things fair.

Later version of the game have some parameter in the code that prevents droughts from happening, so I-pieces are guaranteed to spawn at least once every 10 pieces or whatever

People will make sports events out of the silliest shit and it's glorious.

Anybody here use Puyo Vs.?

>>15589552

There's River City Super Sports Challenge ~All Stars Special~ for PC and such.

>>15589476

Isn't competitive Catherine becoming pretty popular?

>>15589555 (checked)

Oh yeah I know, but that's the remake of the other Famicom game that never made it to the gaijin. Since it's similar though I guess it'd work.

>>15588903

Game Boy Tetris is actually even worse than that.

https://harddrop.com/wiki/Tetris_(Game_Boy)#Randomizer

But yeah the better Tetris games avoid the use of naked RNG to prevent that sort of problem. Tetris Axis has a very boring "generate one of each of the 7 pieces, repeat" which is very flat in distribution. TGM2 attempts to re-roll a piece a few times if it's shown up recently on top of rigging the first couple to not produce overhangs. TGM3 does some weird "bag" system. The big exception is Bastard Tetris which is rigged to not give you what you need.

>>15589645

<Everyone's play styles are actually unique and not all the same button mashing autism

Where do you see this in tetris? Show or explain an ideal scenario in which the metagame wouldn't be single tetris wells, or four wides in guideline tetris. Also, I guarantee you that if you try button mashing in a fighting game you will get your shit kicked in by someone who's had even weeks worth of training, not to speak of the experts.

>>15589894

Look at OPs video, both players are getting the same pieces but they build their wells differently

>>15589717

Really? That's awful, I'm glad I haven't played that version in a long time.

>>15589894

>Show or explain an ideal scenario in which the metagame wouldn't be single tetris wells

The reigning champion swears by double wells instead of single wells, so you're wrong on that point, and beyond level 19 there are some people who prefer center wells over right-aligned ones

>>15589905

They are placing their pieces in different locations, but ideally they would have their field the same way. Clean on the top with no gaps in the stack and a single well for tetrises.

>>15589912

I guess I can see how a 2-wide well would allow for more lines cleared per pieces dropped. Center wells over right or left allignment is merely a preference, there is no speed difference as you would have to fill all sides of the field with pieces to clear lines anyways. The world record for sprint in nullpo was obtained with right-alignment.

>>15588903

>Later version of the game have some parameter in the code that prevents droughts from happening, so I-pieces are guaranteed to spawn at least once every 10 pieces or whatever

Most competently programmed versions of tetris use a shuffle rather than randomization, so you can draw one of each piece in any order until you've drawn them all once, then they are all available again and the pattern repeats. Every piece will appear equally as often as all the others, but in a variable order.

It's still RNG, but a lot less cancerous.

>>15589959

The idea is you can use it to dispose of unwanted pieces since NEStris doesn't have a hold chamber, he explains the strategy here. In practice I have found it to be helpful.

>>15589969

I had thought about trying to make a little version of Tetris and that's really good to know

>>15585451

Tetris Plus 1 & 2 are great

>>15585529

I still suck at puyo puyo. I have a hard time setting up chains and the AI always dunks on my big time before I am able to pull off any combos. But if I stick to basic clears I can't do much good against the PC ether.

>>15590106

>I still suck at puyo puyo

You could always try the guide. https://puyonexus.com/wiki/How_to_Play_Puyo_Puyo

>>15585478

Perhaps this wasn't impressive enough to drive my point.

I like Meteos a lot, I wish they'd make a new one.

>>15590656

>>15590672

Has the time come for puzzle game shitflinging?

boom tretis for jeff

>>15589993

I bet that because the husband has been playing tetris for so long with his wife that they've both started to incorporate tetris terminology into their sex lives. Picture the scene.

>Jonas-UH UH UH, yeah you want my I-block in your vagina baby?

>Wife- YEAH! stick your big sqaure I-block in my double well! hmm ohhh yessss!

>Jonas- UHHH IM CUMMINNNGG!

>Wife- BOOM TETRIS FOR JONAS!!

>>15590656

>muh shitris attack, shitrisphere and shiteos

You are just a Nintendrone in denial posing as some hardcore puzzlefag – the fact you have to use "hurr i own game you posted" as an argument proves you have no skills in any of these games. Do you even play these games against other real people, or are you just a single-player scoring aspie, or worse, a speedbumming tranny? I hear your favourite puzzler is popular within that group of subhumans.

>>15591529

Please tell me which Nintendo console one can find Wind and Water Puzzle Battles on.

>>15589993

The randomizer from the official guidelines is of course better than the chaos on the Game Boy, but it isn't that great either. It paradoxically feels both too samey and occasionally really unfair, namely when you get three or four snake thingies (s or z) in a row. I'd prefer a randomizer with a bigger bag and a repetition-limiting rule. E.g. the rule could be that right after a repeated or mirrored piece in the sequence, there is not another repeated or mirrored piece. So sequences like these would not happen: sss, ssz, szs, szz. The standard bag of seven already makes something like sss impossible, but not ssz or even szsz.

Are there any horror themed Tetris games or games like it?

Ｂ Ｏ Ｏ Ｍ

BOOM Tetris for Jeff :^)

Mhhmmm rotate your ballsake

>>15594877

If you want existential horror then there's Futilitris.

>>15588970

That looks like a good excuse to get drunk as fuck. There's also very interesting stuff in the pool scene.

more tetris than you can handle

>>15595026

Dear lord, you weren’t kidding. There’s something uncomfortable about how small and insignificant it makes your blocks.

>>15595177

you can definitely see the hints of soy in >>15595077 as well as fat women with signs trying to make a scene.. but it happens. What really matters is how the people who run the event handle it as well as their public statements. That's what absolutely murdered GDQ.

>>15595026

>start playing

>get first line

>screen widens

>realize what is up

>try and go for maximum width

>keeps growing

>get bored

>go for game over

>top border expands too

>it never stops

I didn't expect this to bother me as much as it did.

Figured I’d share this. The guy actually helped me get behind the concept of Puyo Puyo as well as creating clear imagery behind triggers and chains.

>>15595177

Not worried.

There are no competitive females playing at the same level as males, excluding Scarlet in SC2, and guess what the secret to 'her' success is.

>>15588970

>let's take tag and make it competitive

>>15585545

Loved Tetris Worlds and the different styles to play.

One last bump for visibility before the thread slides off the catalog, the qualifying rounds are almost over and the first round should be starting in about two hours, 6pm CST. Five people have already scored a maxout during the qualifiers, including Harry Hong and some kid named Joseph. I'm pretty sure he's the guy who's been working towards the Lines Cleared world record.

>>15612766

if there can be an audience for poker or chess then there can be audience for anything.

>>15612693

Crap, I’m bummed I missed it.

>>15614099

No worries, top 32 and final rounds are still happening tomorrow

>>15614351

When’s it start EDT?

>>15615790

Top 32 will be 1 pm EDT (in 30 minutes) and top 8 will be 5 pm EDT

Keep an eye out for that Joseph kid, I knew he looked familiar. He's one of the only players I've seen that can consistently play past Lv 29

>>15615832

Cool, thanks!

>>15616203

I see Soyny is funding this event with their Tetris Effect advertising. Bet they are cringing at the normal straight white males taking part and the lack of weirdos.

>>15616222

Not only are Sony reps there, Tetsuya Mizuguchi himself was there yesterday to promote Tetris Effect

>my all time score is 450,000

Oh shit, I beat out the announcer by quite a bit. So far my all time is 790,000

>>15616232

I’d say that I’d worry that they would try and push “diversity” into next years event with Tetris Effect, but I don’t think Tetris is violent or degenerate enough to get that audience. Also, I find myself rooting for Patrick.

>>15615832

Looks like your boy just stepped up

>>15616302

I think I'm tied with the announcer, 800k is pretty impressive

>>15616339

This kid is a monster and I'd put money on him. Apparently there are so many maxout players in the bracket they had to modify the cart to have a seven-digit score to prevent a tie

>>15616354

He really was. He basically jobbed that polish player who was supposed to be a pretty big deal. Might have to watch more of his streams to get a good look at his hand techniques considering the announcers were pointing those out quite a bit. on a side note, is Joseph Filipino? Looks like a younger version of one of my buddies.

Also, not gonna lie I think that getting Tetris on the iphone helped me git gud so fast. I can just zone out and play it when I’m not busy or doing errands with my friends then play the better Puyo Puyo version when I get home. I might actually look into going to one of these tournaments in the future. Seems like it could be a lot of fun.

Tetris Effect looks pretty nice but I’ll wait for a pc release.

>>15616354

And he just beat the jap champ

>>15616592

I just want the full soundtrack already

>>15617010

I'm hyped up for a Jonas vs. Joseph best of 5 showdown

>>15617016

Tide yourself over

>>15617141

It’s definitely a neat matchup.

>>15617141

Looks like your boy won.

Those were some really good rounds.

>>15617284

3-0 like it was nothing, I'm speechless. Looks like Jonas is feeling his age

>>15617288

Jonas was cool about it to which was nice. Looks like hyper tapping is going to be the new meta without a doubt.
