The Tetris Company announced a partnership with Sanrio (Hello Kitty) today, starting with a new online game on June 3.

[!--quoteo--][div class=\\\'quotetop\\\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\\\'quotemain\\\'][!--quotec--]Sanrio [...] and Tetris [...] announced a multi-year partnership to collaborate on games and merchandise. Their first entry brings Tetris and many of the Sanrio characters together in a new online game that will debut for fans on June 3.

Online game could mean many things. It could be just a small game like the ones at tetris.com, or it could mean a standalone website with different modes, community features and multiplayer. I hope that's not the Tetris Friends replacement. Imagine the following downgrade: Tetris Online Japan -> Tetris Friends -> Hello Kitty Tetris.

I am thoroughly ready to be disappointed tbh.

just wanted to bump this challenge tbh. my best was 59 about a year ago but i am highly curious what the human limit is in this mode.

would love to see some of the faster players give this a shot

just to add another data point, ive been playing daily (literally, 1-3 hours daily. ive maybe taken off 1 or 2 days max) for exactly 31 months (2.6 years) and my 40L on cultris 2 is 32.xx and on nullpo is 31.xx


i am 23 years old

You just gotta keep grinding. As you get better fluke PBs that are way ahead of your skill level become rarer and rarer. I think I had a 45 second PB while I was still averaging low 50s at some point.

i had my 31 when i was still at 38 avg

i just wanna throw in my 2cents since I recently completed this challenge (twice so far)

I think the key is to make big combos while downstacking. I don't play super fast on avg (140-150) but my peak is quite high during combo (~190-200).

My completions were due to making a few large combos (12, 11) while downstacking, and making 2 fast 10s in the beginning of the game while keeping my field somewhat empty.

Without making the large combos while downstacking, I almost always end up dying with around 50 lines remaining. I think its relatively impossible to complete if you don't make >= 9 combos while suriving/dsing unless you are a phenomenal survivor

34.26s

bump!

Welcome to harddrop!

If you ever play cultris I hope to catch you online!

dont mean to spam but i feel like this is my personal progression thread
so happy to have gone from 39 to 35seconds on c2 (no preview no hold)

Made a short video in case anyone is interested in seeing it before trying it out.

- My first impression is that is is quite smooth - I very much like how nice fullscreen windowless is.

- The timer mechanics look very different as you can see in the video (timer doesn't really go down as long as lines are cleared in succession with little delay between them. I am not even close to the speed for 14 combo in c2).

- The lock delay appears to be larger than c2 such that I must press harddrop after doing a spin otherwise wait for a long time. I haven't played around with changing the "down delay and speed" though and I suspect this could change things.

- Overall I think this is a good foundation for a strong game!

will there be an offline ? like single player w bots or something

A small update:

I got my VM setups in order and I have managed to build it for Windows. I'll try to get a Mac build tomorrow or in a few days.
Had a testrun with my friend today from his Windows-comp to a server on my laptop at home. Seems to be working well. He's running Win7. It starts on my Win10 WM aswell.
No host yet. Still looking. I have a couple of maybe's... best case scenario we will have a  first beta launch before the end of the month.

so excited to test it out. especially the mac build as the current client has quite a few bugs in the mac version.

e.g. fullscreen mode cant alt tab. lots of crashes and JRE errors


one thing i will suggest is after the graphics is done, make the glow on pieces adjustable/not blinding (http://gewaltig.net/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=1&t=958~1). tihs is the biggest visual issue i have with the windows version (aside from lack of fullscreen windowless/borderless)

can we expect an alpha release once you get a host and stuff. id love to test.

i will have to disagree with Okey on the availability of custom rulesets. I think it would be great to experiment with custom rulesets in the testing phase but what makes the C2 fanbase so loyal is the fact that the game doesnt have t-spins, hold, extra previews etc. it makes the game very unique compared to all the tetris clones out there (TF, TOJ, jstris etc.).

this is very exciting
