Heavenly Star (gameplay)

This is about 'Basic' techniques and keeping the screen uncrowded so you can watch the video as well :)

Also this is the only thing that i think you may call an 'advanced' technique, seeing that all other techniques comprise what basic gameplay is.
The "half-block erase", well that's what i call it since i haven't seen any mention of it on any tutorials or guides nor in the in-game tutorials, tho i have seen people use it -one example at 2:00-2:03 the orange half of the falling block (I use it at other times as well)-
When you Place half of the falling block right before the time line passes by even if it's not making a combo.
It's mostly useful when you don't know where to place a "2/2" or an "L" shaped block, thou it can be used in a few other ways.

5/5 stars! Hey this is really cool and I like the way you replied to the comments =) "a meaty half-screen special-block chain-reaction though" ha thats true, but I don't understand how you can look and react so damn fast to do that. Can you give me some advices?

[thehside]

uh, um, thanks! :)...and, well, this isn't even one of the skins with the fastest timelines, so you're gonna need to be a lot faster than this! (sorry, lol) my best advice is to keep in mind this game's motto "make as many combos BEFORE the timeline passes" time and practice, that's all! (trying to beat your own records in time-attack is a good start too!)

Damn... am I the ONLY one that plays this game with the L/R buttons? LOL. I swear...

[thehside]

uh yeah, well i didn't know we were the mayority lol, i guess rotating the squares one way is tough enough for most of us (hell, i don't even keep track of incoming pieces lmao)

DAMM! 100... dude thats suicide (LOL)

[thehside]

yeah i would've never thought that was possible until i saw some vids from Lumines Live on xbox360 (like this guy MrHexic #1 score to date on 60sec with 201!!)

well i guess its been a while since i played lumines seriously (since it first came out!)so its gonna take a good while, lol!
