I was so addicted to this game in college. I remember the first time I broke 700 in sprint. Had a roomate who played it non-stop and followed high scores online. I watched him break 800 for the first time and erupted with joy, lol.
When forced to build a purple block on the right side of the screen, as around 2:00, do you always build it in two 2x4 blocks, or do you ever spiral it?
im pretty baked and i couldn't stop laughing at how good you are.. please tell me the key sequence to sneak that green into your first meld on the bottom right!!
I have baffled my circle of friends using your technique, if there is anyway you can post here or send me a message on the slam-smear technique I would greatly appreciate it
slam-smear refers to the combination of slamming a piece from the top of the screen down to the top of the left (or right) columns and then smearing it down-left (or down-right) into place.
I don't really have any good examples of it in this video, but at 0:19 you can see it in action. A better example would have been if there were 1 or more completed 4x4 blocks above the pink/red block, thus allowing you a longer down-right smear.
@ Highskiller's Comment: Well, that's just typical. Vote everything down if it isn't written in your language, especially if it is german, because all germans are nazis and are therefore evil incarnate up to the present day. All he wanted to say is
"Haha cool... I've got a PS3 at home, and yet I'm sometimes playing this game on the n64. It's just cult."
What I said was that many people of other countries still believe up to this day that germany is full of nazis. In fact, when we had some american exchange students in class some years ago, they ak#sked us things like "Is Hitler still president?"
I was defending you becuase you got downvoted for typing a Message in your own language.
sweet. it sounds like you might have made 16 golds and 6 silvers (assuming you had full blocks on both sides of the screen for 11 rows, where 1 row consists of 2 blocks).
I have a question. The 11th piece of the game, the one that makes the first box on the right side: How do you get that green piece in there to make the box?
I tried soem combination of a rotation and slide and spin move but I cannot seem to make it work and the piece is moving too fast in the video for me to see what you are doing.
hmm. what I am trying to do isn't working; something that is similar to what you did so I thought I wcoudl do it but now I am not sure. At 0:50 you have a gold block on the left, and you begin to build a green and purple one above it. you put the purple one in last. Suppose you had the two purples and the bottom green in, is it possible to spin in the 4th green piece? or does that only work when the block is on the right side of the screen as it was at the beginning of the video.
I have gotten enough lines to unlock all the wonders. but somebody told me that you discovered a way to reduce the box delay but getting this secret wonder. Like you quit a match after dropping a certain number of pieces?
It seems that the box delay varies among the different screens. For example, Russia and Celtic screens have the slowest box-forming delay and line-clearing delay. This is explained here:
gilly[dot]homeip[dot]net/tetris/strategy/general
To take advantage of this fact, I have discovered that you can choose which screen you want to play on:
It involves starting a game, waiting a certain number of pieces, quitting, then starting another game straight away. Gilly managed to discover this, the details should still be on his site, if it's up...
You're really good at tetris. You must be a little Asian kid.

can you explain the slam-smear technique please?
seriltheperil 3 years ago
Press Up to Slam a piece down, hitting the top platform.
This is usually followed by 1 or more rotations.
The piece is now under the top platform. see 0:19 and 0:31
Hold Left-Down or Right-Down to Smear a piece down the chute while inside the chute.
The point of the diagonal hold is to allow the piece to move laterally into place the first chance it gets while quickly sliding down the chute.
Slam-Smear combo merely refers to the combination of a Slam followed by a Smear.

blue button : clockwise rotation
green button : counter-clockwise rotation
for the green piece do:
blue, up, blue, blue, up
and for the red piece going to a pink/red block on the left side do:
left, green, up, green, green, up

You need to complete all 7 wonders, and then manipulate the game to give you this 8th (hidden) theme called Factory.
