Come at me, /vr/... If you dare!

That GIF is pretty rough, here's a better one.

Goddamn, dude.

Are you that "Tetris Attack" Anon from a while back.

>>1581064
Maybe, depends on what thread.

God I suck at Tetris, my highest score that I had going for myself was around 47000 or something like it but the only thing I have to prove it is kinda of a shitty photo. Here's what I got, you can probably beat it but I'll be playing on the side to try and do better.

>>1581283
So Game Boy Tetris?

>>1581287
yeah, if you want to change versions I'm okay with it.

s3&k is easy af to max score, so here is my best time for angel island 2 (knux)

>>1581283
Your move.

>>1581419

>>1581551
I really wish the Game Boy version had instant drop.

AFAIK nobody has ever beaten my score.

>>1581829
Because it's impossible, that's the counter stop isn't it? We can only match it. Which Contra though? I always quit Contra and Super C around the third loop because it just gets boring. The games don't change enough between loops at all.

Did I set the bar too high? I feel bad now.

Astrosmash for the Mattel Intellivision.

>>1583270
are you the Tetris attack guy? I never played the game but judging from the gif you're really good. As it's stated in the op it can be any game so you don't compare different games to each other, you're fine. However if you're the Tetris guy Just you wait, I'm not done with you yet. I'm not at home right now but once I get my emulator started and get a little practice in, you're toast.

>>1584262
Got to level 11 this time.

Tetris DX I have no life

>>1584640
Can that actually be compared to regular Game Boy Tetris?

>>1584674
ive played both of them and I'd say they are pretty similar, I think the original tetris was just a little harsher on giving you points.

You should be able to beat this, /vr/.

>>1584842
Let's make this a little tougher.

Oh lawd is this some GB Tetris competition goin on in here? Maybe I'll download an emulator and set the bar nice and high for you guys.

>>1585161
What the? I got caught off guard by levels increasing after 50 instead of 100 lines. Are there two different versions of GB Tetris? On my actual cartridge (which is like 25 years old now) levels increase every 10 lines, so you hit level 10 at 100 if you start on 9. I started gaining levels at 50 on this emulator... what's going on here?

>>1585209
Did you start on level 9? That's going to make it tough to compare our scores.

>>1585237
Should always start on level 9 if you're going for score though... I didn't even notice you guys were both starting on 0. Why?

>>1585284
No real reason I guess. That's not really true though, you can get easier points on your way up to level 9.

>>1585286
You get more points the higher your level is, and once you hit around level 13 or so it gets very hard to land tetrises, so you want to maximize the amount of time you're at level 9, which, on the right ROM, would be the entire first 99 levels. You get 12k pts per tetris at level 9.

>>1585292
>first 99 levels
I meant to say first 99 lines, oops. Optimally you want as many of those first 99 to be tetrises.

>>1585293
It sounds like you agree that you should start on level 0 then.

>>1585297
No that would be silly, why would you put yourself at a disadvantage while simultaneously playing on a setting so boring that the first ~5-10 minutes of each run give virtually no score?

>>1585303
You're not explaining something right here then. The game doesn't sit at level 9 for 100 lines when you start at level 9, it moves up to level 10 at what seems the be the same speed as when you get to level 9 starting at level 0.

>>1585305
It shouldn't be. If you start at 9 you should be at level 9 until you hit 100 lines, when it moves to level 10, then level 11 @ 110, level 12 @ 120, and so on, maxing out at level 20 @ 200.

For whatever reason, the ROM I downloaded starts escalating to level 10 at line 50, but this shouldn't be the case. My cart, as well as every youtube video of GB tetris, works the way I first described. A googled wiki page also confirms this to be the case
>when the player line clear (startLevel * 10 + 10), the level advances by 1. After this, the level advances by 1 for every 10 lines
I'm really curious what the hell is causing this. You may be experiencing the same thing I am, judging by your post?

I... Guess my ROM is working similarly? Started at level 0 again for reference.

>>1585317
What the hell...

177 lines should be level 17... we must be using the same borked ROM. Looking around the internet for info on this and I'm not seeing anything about this. Pic related.

>>1585325
I'm going from 9 to 10 (starting at 9) at 20 lines here.

>>1585325 here
I just found out what's up. Apparently we're playing on v1.0, which was a very limited Japan-only production of the game. The A-Type music is different than normal (didn't notice cause I had it muted) and lines/levels are different. Crazy. I never knew about this even though I have probably thousands of hours on this game.

more info here if anyone else is curious about version differences

>>1585332
Hah, I can't believe I didn't notice that either. I thought one of the Tetris themes seemed to be missing. Why is it labeled the (World) version then? Can't Emuparadise get their names right? Maybe that would explain why this version feels a bit unfair too.

Okay it seems Tetris (World) Rev A is the version we all remember playing.

>>1585343
Yeah. Also I think I thought it was 50 lines instead of 20 because 12-13 is when it starts getting really noticeably hard to keep up with so I glanced at my lines and saw 50 and thought "what the shit!?". Ill post some scores on a normal ROM some other time maybe.

>>1585348
Alright.

>>1584894
Guess I better specify that this is Galaga Revision B since versions are so important.

Yeah this really does feel easier. I guess they must have tweaked the RNG in the revision. Started at level 9 this time.

I guess /vr/ isn't up to the challenge.

A NEW CHALLEGER APPROACHES

Well I'm not much for Tetris, but here's my Kirby's Pinball Land high score that I set in a marathon game something like 19 years ago.
Shit, now everybody knows my name is I Suck

>>1588149
Impressive, my old score is only 2.8 million. I think I remember getting good enough at one point where I basically couldn't lose. Then it was just a matter of how much time put in.

What's the best version of Tetris for highscores?

>>1589905
Probably one of those non-Retro Grandmaster games.

>actual initials are ASS
>can't enter them

I hate high score screen.

>>1589956
Yeah, TGM3 is for the 2pro legit players. I think people like to play the Wii game too though. Tetris Party Blast or something?

I kinda just gave up at this point.
484560 - Gun.Smoke on the NES.

I used the PSP game to emulate it.

That shouldn't be that difficult to win.

Did I seriously get my Kirby's Pinball Land photo deleted because I had my cart in a Game Body Advance?

superior version of Tetris detected.

The fuck is that?

If I beat my best time I'll make a GIF or a webm.

I used NBT.
