9 and 10 add dark blue. You might be confused with thinking that 5 = normal endless or something.

Yesterday I tried to get back into the game - somehow I have far more problems in Panel De Pon than in Tetris Attack. Five continues on very hard, from the seventh enemy it was a pain in the ass, where I only need between zero and two continues usually
But I liked the Japanese voices - on the other hand the final bosses' laughing in stage 13 is more weird than the typical Bowser roar in TA


As for speed - personally I suck even more, but other than that it is harder and allows more time; since it takes less time for combos, chains and clearing blocks - also the delay when you touch the top is slightly shorter. I think it was two seconds on easy. When I played on 10 in 2P VS . - you die almost instantly when you reach the top - nearly like in Endless

Edit: Is it just me or does the KI has a bug after you lost against it in VS ?
I just played a Very Hard in Tetris Attack - the bottom part was red so I _was_ in "Very Hard" VS mode, but up to the tenth enemy they seemed ridicouly easy for me (hey, I'm no expert, so I cannot pull out to defeat the CPU every time without continue - as in 2P VS CPU switch - now on level 5, I'm only slightly better than the CPU LV 7, like 5-3 stats ).

Two continues in the end, one against the Nipper Plant in Stage 10 and one was thrown away against Bowser, so I still have only one run through VS on Very Hard without continue. But after I lost - almost every time I beat that enemy in less than a minute - like if the difficulty ... lowers when you get defeated. Or it is just a bug ?

I died against Bowser the second time in total after About 2 minutes, now I got rid of him in less than one minute

But as for voting - I'll go with speed 5. Higher speeds should be considered only individually - if both players agree.

For all I know, PDP is harder (slightly) than TA is. Super Hard in TA seems toned down in comparison.

A real challenge would be that what PPL brings though. CPU lv. 10 will annihilate.

Now, I'm pretty sure last I played that 5 added Dark Blue. Since I have a TA rom available, I checked - and I'm right.

Maybe PDP is different in that regard.

Edit: It may be worthy of note that I tested in 2 Player Time Trial, with both players on 5.

Edit2: On a tip from Waddler, I checked in Vs. mode. You're right, there... weird..

Edit3: Alright, then, screw the last vote, it's L5. Now, who's joining?

PDP works with no dark blue on 5 in TT. TA, however, works differently. I don't know why.

Huh. Well, as Vs. was chosen, it's kinda irrelevant anyway, don't you think? Especially since neither has dark blue on L5 in Vs. mode.

Well, I kinda figure that we didn't even have a decent consensus to even do a tourney yet.

I've just been picking off people one by one from this thread and nuking them. XD

Haven't nuked me yet!

...Then again, considering how few games I won against Xk, that might not be such a bad thing. :\

Which might just be why you completely avoided me. Because let's face it, I'm not good at this. My mother used to be able to beat me. Then again, my grandmother once beat me in Super Mario Kart...

Actually, you never asked/I don't have you on IM.

That last one was a joke aimed at Colleen.

Hey. I'm sure I have... well... at least ONE victory against you. You must have stacked the blocks too high one round or something.

That also would make sense... if you were curious, it's BlademageCheveyo in AIM... not on allow-only; I find idiots to be mildly entertaining, if only at their own expense.

That happens to me as well and Im far away from being an expert, but I make some personal nice improvements in Endless. Six weeks ago I needed 58 minutes for reaching 99999, now I'm down to 34 minutes (Abused Rib did in in about 3 1/2 minutes, we know he pulled out 8 x13s super-fast ... ) - shortly before reaching my first aim "below thirty minutes" - but that's another thing because in VS. I often "forget" to be in motion (clearing keeps the last two seconds after touching the top lengthening) so I'm about to send a nice present over - and die myself

...mmkay, I'll have to remember that Tam...see if I can get some time tonight. I'm currently at school on zero sleep, so it might be later on this weekend.

Anyone else want to give it a go when I get the spare time?

oh, almost forgot something there... uh, yeah, TCP/IP stuff (ZSNES included) gives me trouble sometimes. I dunno if it's my end or the other end, though, but with certain people it just will not connect. At all. A big part of why I'm not planning on joining this tournament.

Edit: Plus which, there's a slim chance I'm going camping this weekend.

UDP gives you issues? Probably router/firewall troubles. That's a common thing anymore. TCP will usually always work though, so that's not an issue unless you have a low-band connect.

Well, ZSNES gives me issues, with Use UDP Connection off and with it on. Diablo 2 gives me issues in TCP/IP. Ditto for Doom.

But again, I dunno if it's a problem on my end or theirs. I'm leaning towards theirs, since it does work for me with certain people (Waddler in Doom, for example)...

I played against Waddler-D in Tetris Attack - he finished me off in about ~30 seconds per match.
And in Super Puyo Puyo 2 he got me with a x10 chain reaction down [...]
