r/Tetris

ive been stuck in the same B/B+ rank for MONTHS now with no signs of improvement. i avg 0.9 pps with 1:30 sprint, i dont even feel like i can get mechanically better as the faster i go my hands start shaking. Ive been playing consistently everyday but it feels like nothing has changed. literally every single opponent that i have has like 1.5pps with 30 second sprints all spamming sdpc and can send 20+ spikes in seconds (is this normal in b rank?). I barely get enough wins to keep myself in the rank but not enough to go any higher. Im desparate for any advice that you guys can give me, i will literally do anything. Thanks.

Hello, this post is mainly for all of the players in the top 30 worldwide leaderboard for Zone Vs. mode. Or at least for those that are striving to get to the top in time (took me at least 2.5yrs) - -

I am ‘Mo’ in the game, it’d be cool to talk to others near the top of what I think is the most challenging, fun, and addictive leaderboard for Tetris online. I’m currently moving back and forth from rank 21 to 17 (something is goofy on this leaderboard lately, I’ve been taking screenshots to see why my rank changes briefly to 17 or 16 with nearly no time/wins/losses passing)…

Not sure where to start beyond this intro - I’ve just always wondered if any others in that position on the leaderboard are on this reddit??

It just sucks. I feel so bad for the people who paid full price for it. It doesn't even include the classic NES Tetris due to license issues (?). It's basically a 40 dollar emulator containing mostly soviet tittles and tetris spinoffs that I doubt people care much about.

I haven't had a pb in like two months, and my last whole number pb was around end of last year. I'm desperate, so I'm asking for help.

My working theory is that there's something fundamentally wrong with my stacking, or I just have a habit that causes me to always fuck up my stack at some point during my sprint. Before I even notice what's happening, my stack is either uneven and/or I've accidentally sealed the I hole. I wish it was as easy as just don't do that, but it happens even when I try to be aware of it.

Bottom line, I think I have a bad habit or something that leads my stack eventually becoming unflat, which forces me to place an S or O into an unideal place, and plugging the I space. Idk what it is though. Could be simpler than I think or more complicated I'm lost

I have no idea what it is specifically, doesn't seem to be something like 'oh you make too many I dependencies', because it doesn't always seem to have to do with the I piece. (I could be wrong, though.)

This is my jstris pb and my tetr.io pb. You can look at my account for more games if you'd like. Any and all advice is welcome, though 'just play more' doesn't seem to be working for me anymore. I'm hoping to find a consistent issue I'm having, that's causing this bottle neck.

i just got devastating news today (finals results) so ive been playing tetris dissociating

Hi!

So, I'm trying to get faster, both in sprint and in versus.

Right now my PB sprint time is 32 seconds. I'm not hard stuck, and I'm making steady but slow progress. I'm meticulous about reviewing my own replays these days so a lot of the improvement is just better stacking and better pattern recognition.

The thing is, I feel like my main bottleneck is how fast I can press the keys. In particular my burst speed is significantly lower when the inputs require two taps of the same button and I am also more prone to misdrops for those inputs. Almost all of my PBs since I got under 35 have been with relatively the same KPS, 9.1-9.4, and I've never had a run that broke 10.

Would it be worth it at this point to relearn finesse using 180 spins? One reason I've been hesitant to learn it is because I sometimes play versions that don't support 180 spins, so I don't want to mess up my finesse on those games. At the same time I wonder if I should just try to learn to press the buttons faster.

I’m getting into Tetris and I’ve spent a some time looking at the store and even got organizing with Tetris— I like books.

iOS games are abrasive with monetization.

book— was corporate slop with a page dedicated to why you should play Tetris effect connected.

merch- watch, light, mobile devices are poorly reviewed And is apparently poorly made too.

How long has this been going on?

i'm genuinely curious to see how competent they are at their own game, specifically modern guideline tetris. or if there's anything i wanna see it's how they would fare against eachother in a 1v1 battle. been doing some searching, can't find anything, just talking interviews. i know henk has a say in the guidelines and i remember alexey talking about playing t99 when it came out so i think it's pretty safe to assume they're at least pretty experienced

Could I get advice on my Tetr.io? I have linked a blitz replay(my highest score thus far). I misdropped a t piece at the end😭

I would appreciate any advice(eg how to be faster, any areas that im not doing well in, stacking etc...)

Thank you!!!

If I have an O piece, and it doesn’t fit anywhere except for an area that’s already slightly uneven, and putting it there would make the area very uneven, would it be better to put it in a place where it doesn’t fit?

I’m saying this because I feel like it would be harder to undo an uneven play field than undo a hole.

I just updated Reaktor to offer online multiplayer through steam remote play. Would like some feedback. Keyboard only currently.
