Help! In need of some tips (Nullpomino)

[Cool2man]

Hello all,

I recently got a a PB time of 00:48.05 on Nullpomino in 20-Line sprint. However, after that, I have seem to hit a wall. So, with that in mind, what are some tips that you can give me to ensure that I can achieve faster times. Thank you all so much in advance!

try not to hold on to line pieces as much, dont try to rely on holds if you are holding pieces. just focus on stacking, my fastest time is 35.44

How high should I stack without costing myself too much time? and what about misplacing minos and causing holes to happen? BTW, nice time! You should challenge me on speedrun.com, as I'm the only runner on there that does 20-Line Sprint!

I usually stack to around 8 or so, if i do get stuck before that, i will usually clear using a tetris to open up more moves.

I do the same thing. I stack ~10 lines, make 2 tetrises, and freestyle to the end.
Misdrops: Either practice them so much you barely hesitate (good for multiplayer) or just start over if you're grinding for a PB.
Edit: Skimming is helpful too.

play marathon alot, and dig mode to practise, dig mode helps with correcting mistakes fast, and marathon helps everything in general

So what are some ideal settings to use to get a sub-48 time?

I can't believe there is a thread for 20-line.

Just play more and play as fast as you can.

No reason it shouldn't -- you're just replacing files.

Also there's no real reason to turn sound off.

Some very preliminary pointers if you'd like to improve further:
* Learn instant DAS.
* Use both rotation keys.
* Play more. Switch to 40L when your speed makes it less of a hassle.
