The Four And A Half Year Challenge: BEATING BLINK

[Testosterown]

Haha, I think my progress has been similar to yours, although you've played a lot more than me.

Watching you I now suddenly think that I may have a shot.

Lets see... 45.36

2 seconds from screwing up
1.5 seconds from wasted rotations
1 second from poor placement
0.5 seconds from line clear delay
0.3 seconds from wasted block

So I just need about 3.5 seconds of being faster

lol, lets push him to 3rd

[XaeL]

actually line clear delay is 500ms * line clear delays = min 10 = 5 seconds.

[Paul676]

he might be talking about wasted line clear delays from non-total tetrising

[Testosterown]

Yea, I was talking about the wasted line clears (which is a lot more than I thought). I actually just picked random numbers.

But now you can upgrade the das and auto-repeat. suddenly, blink is very beatable (the 36.54s anyways)

[tempfelix]

Apparently custom DAS and AR are allowed in TF sprint now... It may just be possible!

[iphys]

Yeah, if you can't beat Blink's original time now with the faster DAS, then you'll really be bummed.  Go, solo!

yeah, i just spent 10000 tokens to update my DAS/AR (christ, i wish i didn't spend all those tokens on mino designs!!!)


update!, apparently you can earn rubies if you engage with some of their advertisers. who else is filling out a survey!!??

so does this mean blink gets to get a new better record with using das? or you get das but he doesnt?

[solo2001]

lol, I don't really care what blink gets (read the first post)

[chowmain24]

ohhh i didnt see the PS haha well he got 30 seconds

[solo2001]

SWEET JESUS!!! 30 SECONDS?!? I think I can beat the one year challenge at some point. But beating blink is gonna be a lifetime goal.

[bowcy]

i agree. My life goal for Tetris is to get under 30 seconds at some point. But right now I'll be ecstatic when I finally break 40!

[solo2001]

First of all, thanks to everyone for getting this topic over 1000 HITS, I thinks its mostly because the words "BEATING BLINK" are in the title (which isn't really the goal, i just stuck em' in there at the last minute to help get some views)!

Holy Crap! 2000 HITS!!!!!!!!! i REALLY didn't think it'd get this big

FORTIES BY CHRISTMAS!  MAYBE!

on a lighter note: 3000 HITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At this rate, I'm thinking this may become one of the top posts on HardDrop!!!
