Can anyone give me any pointers for getting used to NES Tetris for the first time as a TGM player? It feels like all the pieces are suddenly covered in glue and I suck horrifically.

>It feels like all the pieces are suddenly covered in glue and I suck horrifically.
input delay maybe? are you emulating? pay attention to exactly how long it takes for a piece to respond when you press the button. even the slightest delay compared to what you were using before can have a huge effect, considering all the inputs that go together

[Anonymous No.4570852]

>>4570836
No I don't think it's an input delay problem, even though I do play TGM in an arcade

There's a radical difference between the two games in that TGM gives you a split second to slide pieces after they land, and NES Tetris doesn't, at all. I just didn't realize how impossible that change would be to get used to.

Nah, because nestris plays nothing like modern tetris which is all about SRS exploiting.

You're better off starting with tetris ds and then stepping up to TGM3.

[Anonymous No.4571193]

>>4571153
Yeah, NES Tetris is the most popular for the competitive scene anyways, and generally considered the most "high skill".

I personally like TGM a lot more, but it's a little less popular, and furthermore very hard to find arcade cabs and emulators don't run very well.

Definitely get into one of the two though (NES or TGM); most other versions are considered pretty casual among serious players anyways

[Anonymous No.4571456]

The game itself is just boring and even more boring to watch.

[Anonymous No.4571708]

>>4570821
Think about Shirase at level 1200; the gravity is 20G and there's 8F of lock delay, meaning you have a total of 8 frames to manipulate the piece. Obviously this is really fast, but the point is that 8 frames of lock delay is actually still much higher than the lock delay will ever be in NES Tetris.

This is a lot of words to say that the portion of the lifetime of the piece that you have control over is completely opposite. In TGM, you generally have no time in the air and you control the piece by sliding it along the stack. In NES Tetris, you have no almost no control once the piece lands so you have to deal with everything while it's still in the air.
Sub-20G TGM and NES Tetris is actually pretty similar, but 20G/pyramid stacking is extremely suboptimal in NES Tetris because it isn't great for tetrises and it's designed to give you more lock delay/20G maneuverability, both of which are completely irrelevant in NES Tetris.

>>4570869
Tetris DS' rotation system allows you to reset lock delay by rotating the piece. NES Tetris and TGM do not; lock delay can only be reset by dropping the piece.

>>4571232
TGM 3 builds on completely different skills than Tetris DS unless you play world - and I wouldn't recommend playing world. If your ultimate goal is to play TGM 3, you should play a TGM game. The predecessors to the Arika rotation system (which includes NES Tetris and the Sega arcade game) will give you a decent understanding of how TGM 3 works but they won't get you used to any of the foundational skills of that game, like 20G stacking and... well, playing quickly.

>>4571241
I think this logic is good. Most TGM players do not recommend starting on TGM 3; it's a good candidate for the most difficult game ever made it and it's going to be very slow going if you start there because even clearing master requires you to be able to play at a high level.

I started on TGM 3. It took me almost two years to get 500 levels into shirase.

[Anonymous No.4571732]

>>4571379
I think (competitive) NES Tetris is significantly more popular than TGM in the US. The only way you'd have any exposure to TGM is if you sought it out (or watched AGDQ I guess). It's also really hard and doesn't have any of the casual appeal of most Tetris games; for most bad players they would be lucky to get five minutes out of a TGM game. It doesn't really help that the most popular TGM game is 3, which actually accelerates you for doing well and consequently has the effect of speeding up your demise most of the time.

Both games have a very high skill cap, but the TGM series arguably has less to offer new players and is more difficult in the long run. The first game isn't all that challenging, but TAP and especially TI have big segments of the game that are inaccessible to people who have been playing the game for *years*. What proportion of longtime TI players have even seen an invisible credit roll, let alone cleared one?

NES Tetris is relatively forgiving and, yeah, most players will never get anywhere near a max out, but they'll probably get in the ballpark.

>>4571195
This sort of goes both ways though. A lot of people who started on TGM/TAP have a hard time getting muscle memory for hold. I generally agree with you, however.

This is sort of the main feature of GB Tetris. The whole game is based on mitigating bad luck. It just takes time and experience I guess.

If you're coming from other Tetris games, the biggest thing is that you have to stack low. Really, really low. The top quarter of the play area is pretty useless. I am not amazing at GB Tetris but I got a lot better at it when I stopped stacking past the top half on purpose. You don't have the same pressure to stack cleanly as you do in NES Tetris and your main concern is just not getting killed by the randomizer.

[Anonymous No.4572142]

>>4572136
Just to add to this, if you're not really interested in mitigating luck you're probably better off just playing a different Tetris version because that's the distinguishing element of Tetris GB.

Having said that, I kind of like it. I play it when I'm on the can. Sometimes you get 500k, sometimes you get 100k.

That's actually a chain. I'm >>4571367 so let me know if you can play either the NES or SNES versions online with me or other WW players.

[Anonymous No.4572227]

>>4572154
They're fairly different. SPF2T lets you essentially stick together as many of the same color as you want as long as you don't trigger it. In Puyo Puyo, putting four or more of the same together makes them instantly explode, so chains are about managing that as opposed to managing the respective crash gems. Building is completely different.

There are some other differences. Garbage is different in that it doesn't have a color and doesn't contribute to your combo when you break it. Puyo Puyo is also just generally a faster game.

They're in the same genre though and they're pretty closely related. If you like one, you should probably at least try the other.

>>4572370
Yeah, none of that advice was meant to be particularly mind-blowing, but it's essential to keep in mind that stacking like you do in TGM doesn't really work in NES.

For what it's worth, the original TGM isn't that hard. It's certainly more difficult than your average game but it's by far the easiest TGM game. Getting a GM in TGM is doable from nothing in around a year, I think. The gap between it and TAP is huge, and the gap between TAP and TI is even bigger.

TGM is a reasonable game for reasonable people. TAP is just a more demanding version of TGM that added hard drop so you don't have to play like a jabroni to play quickly. TI really just seems like it's out to get you for having the gall to enjoy it (pic related).

It's not about being a scrub; TGM is certainly a high skill game and I'd never downplay the amount of practice it takes to get the GM. But the series' difficulty really goes off the rails. If you've never seen a TGM 3 GM game, you should really check it out. The requirements are ridiculous.

You have to soft drop. It feels slow because it is slow. If you're playing for time and not survival, avoid overhangs before level 500.

TI runs on PCs. It's a bit difficult to set up - it's notorious for producing accidental TASes, where people think they've gotten some incredible time or something but the game's internal clock is actually just slow, making the game significantly easier and the time completely wrong. I think it's worth it, however, unless you have some objection to pirating it. It's not an emulator, so once you get it working it actually runs quite well.

It is terrifying. I've been playing for about two years now and I am nowhere even close to the GM.

You don't, not for TI. It uses TypeX, which means you can bind the buttons to your keyboard or a joystick if you have one. If you google it you should be able to find it pre-packed with TypeX. If you get it and you're having difficulty getting it to work properly, post in this thread and I'll help. The main thing I would tell you is that you need to test if it's calibrated correctly, and the easiest way to do this is to actually play the game while having a stopwatch running and seeing if the ingame timer and the real game timer are in sync. If they're not, you need to fudge with the settings. There's a mod some people run that just moves their mouse cursor while the game is running to artificially slow the game down.

I have heard that under optimal setups there is one more frame of input lag on the PC than there is in the arcade, but I'm not sure I believe that myself. I've played a lot of TI on real hardware and on my PC and I can't tell the difference. TI also has a lot of input lag by default - there's five frames on native hardware - so I'm not sure 5F versus 6F really makes a difference.

Right now there are 6 GMs but someone has gotten GM in a TI clone, which is a bit easier than getting it on the real thing - the clones don't have the aforementioned input lag - but it's still pretty damn close. Outside of that guy I don't think anyone else is near a GM. There have been a few guys stuck at the rank below GM for a few years, but one of them has said that he doesn't believe he can do the invisible roll well enough to ever get GM so it's probably going to be awhile before we see another one.

Getting a GM in TI is very difficult. If it's not the hardest game ever made, it's pretty close. Despite being pretty popular in Japan and being based on an overwhelmingly popular game, it's only been beaten by six people.

>>4573432
Depending on what you mean by "master" I'd say that's probably a fair goal. If you mean "get GM in master" then that'll put you in a decent position if you go onto TAP or TI. I will say though that getting a GM in TGM is very dependent on working around the lack of hard drop, which completely ceases to be a thing in TAP or TI. I play a lot of TGM and TI because they're completely different games, despite having a lot of mechanics in common. You might want to try TI just to see if you like the feeling of having hold, three piece previews and hard drop (...this is one of those situations where it sounds like TI is helping you by making the game easier, but it's actually just giving you more tools as an excuse to make the requirements more absurd). Also, be sure to play on classic. World is weird.

The conventional wisdom is that the joystick may have an advantage for sub-20G play whereas the keyboard may have an advantage for 20G play. The most recent non-Japanese player to get a Shirase S13 (Nick) did it on a keyboard. However, if you want to play on a joystick, it's fairly trivial to get a fight stick or whatever to work on PC with TI (or TGM/TAP, for that matter).

[Anonymous No.4573463]

>>4573448
I've only really played versions of Tetris that don't have a hold option, so when I'm given one I basically never use it...

[Anonymous No.4573507]

>>4573463
A sanwa eight way can be converted into a four way by rotating the gate ninety degrees. It's very simple.

TGM 3 has been played at a very high level without hold, but only by literally one person and it was Shirase, not Master. Getting used to hold is definitely a hurdle, but in a game already flirting with impossible you are not going to want to handicap yourself.

Late reply but you NEED to learn how the DAS works. It can be abused and it's almost necessary to play at high speeds.

Here are the rules to remember:
>DAS begins to charge when you press and hold the direction key
>takes 16f to charge then the piece moves every 6f
>gets into a frozen state during the ARE (pause time before a piece spawn)
>is only properley reset when a direction key is pressed, not released, and not during ARE time because it is frozen
>gets charged instantly when moving a piece against a wall or the stack (probably implemented to make filling overhangs easier but can be abused the shit out of)

Knowing this, you can charge up DAS once and reuse the charge every piece by only pressing the direction you want during the ARE (so it is never reset) and releasing it when it's at the right place over the stack. (a.k.a. skillstop)
Now, this is pretty difficult to pull off with 100% consistency, that's why you make use of the "instant DAS against a wall" trick whenever you lose your charge. When that isn't possible, you will lose a lot of your mobility, keep mental track of the DAS state so you can react to it when that happens.
This can take a while to learn a pull off well but when you do, it won't feel like it's all covered in glue anymore. Hope my explanations were clear enough.

Good luck!

You could try meeting some players on mamehub, which supports much more games than fightcade.

Why did they not include a Japanese audio option for the Switch/PS4 releases again?

[Anonymous No.4585645]

>>4584830
We can only speculate, but why bother now when the PC release is gonna have both? You can finally have your moonspeak again; you could even mod a few characters back into English, or maybe by some miracle they'll allow dual audio options for each individual character like in recent Capcom fighting games.

Will this be the first actually good puzzle game on Steam?

Is it just me or does TGM2 feel sluggish as fuck on FBA? It's as if every tetromino felt made out of lead or something.

[Anonymous No.4587454]

>>4587446
It might be just you if it feels any worse than the original. If it feels worse than TI something very irregular is happening since TI even under the best of conditions has significantly more input lag than TAP.

Endless quarters spent on Puzzle Bobble 4 cabinet at Pizza Hut.

Eh, it's probably me being dumb and not being too used to the game physics in themselves, since I'm an Atari Tetris veteran and I haven't touched any other version in years (except maype Puyo Puyo Tetris for a while).
I'll go be a curmudgeon somewhere else and hug my Brad Fuller dakimakura. Bahumbug.

There was a controversy in the TGM community a few years ago about the fact that TAP runs at 61 FPS and MAME was handling this incorrectly, which rendered all emulated TAP records up until that point mostly meaningless. It's fixed in MAME now, but it may very well still be broken in FBA.

...Having said that, this had a small impact on the way the actual game ran and mostly only affected the integrity of the timer.

Sorry?
(also, we need a new name for a genre. This IS a puzzle game, but it's nothing like tetris or puyo or whatever. You actually solve puzzle, have to think logically)

DROD is the best puzzle game I’ve ever played. The mechanics allow for very deep puzzling. It’s definitely a completely different kind of puzzle game than the ones being discussed in this thread so far.

Does Diner Dash count as a puzzle game?

Playing games with static puzzles is boring once you know the solutions. Games such as Tetris and Puyo Pop are much more interesting and replayable.

Someone should figure out how to procedurally generate DROD puzzles so we can turn it into one of these tank-based puzzle games.

Then make Tetris vs Puyo vs DROD

Can’t really go wrong with any of them but for a beginner to the series I would suggest Journey to Rooted Hold as a good introduction to the series. If you like the game you can follow up with it’s harder sequels, or go back and play the original King Dugan’s Dungeon.

The puzzle game everyone should be playing in current mame = Mushihimetama, it impresses me to no end how much depth they managed with essentially a one button game from the time element to the power shot mechanics the perfect gap hit bonuses and the boss fights.
