Don't feel bad. My mother probably wouldn't be able to beat you...

Probably.

Well, at least everyone should have a fair match in the first round.

Once I get the brackets made, just for kicks I'll be taking bets on what the results look like. Keep that in mind.

Edit: Played a few rounds with Sonicandtails. He seems to be at around Colleen's area.

I feel so special
Yea, it was 2-0 him, but in the last match, I think I was doing alright. I started making some x3-4 combos and maybe a x5, but he got me with some of those grey dirt blocks and then launched a few x2's...I need to practice some more, so Im off to play!

(Oh yea I forgot to say this in my last post, but I went to play TA and lo and behold, I was trying to make my squares go up in down like in Meteos...Damn that game)

You wish. It's not an all-in-one-day thing. It's drawn out like Xk's Literati tournament.

But don't worry. I'll probably face Hiryuu before you will. And if I'm lucky (BAHAHAHAH), I'll beat him. Of course, there's always a chance you'll face your doom HIryuu, but... hey, it's part of the tournament. And most of his chains weren't x12. He just happened to get one big one. Most of 'em were, what, x7?

I usually chained up an x7 or so at the start of a match. If you can't take the heat of a blitz, you will die in 20 seconds against me.

EDIT: Eviscerated Colleen 10-0. He won one while I was sleeping but that was it. I went on a TT afterwards for one match. 24,000 was gained. Second match yielded an x13.

Good learning material right here, I'm on the right.

We should let Hiryuu play with speed 10 or a handicap with -10000 in Time Trial

And I don't mind getting slaughtered, since people from ZBattle.net are also these monsters
But recently I even got my first _wanted_ x11 which was NOT pure luck
That is nice, this also hides the fact I still need more than thirty minutes to reach 99999 and I rather score poor x4s, x5s, maybe 10 x6s, some 7x and one or two x8s, but, at least I'm improving for myself.

I just need to get off Deux Ex what really is a distracting game (and I need more skill points for lockpicking and lockpicks in general )

Well, I'm contemplating whether or not I should even be in the tourney. I mean given the people now and my guess in terms of skill, I would rather not have this be a huge slaughterfest in my favor. :\

Guess whoever wins could always go against me at the end if you wanted it that way...I'm not so sure. I don't mind practice matches, but tourney matches kill people's egos a lot.

Hmm, that could work...

As it stands, I don't think anyone's got a chance against you, unless I get really lucky and pull out more "2s" than "18s"...

Well, it's double elimination so it's not like Hiryuu's just going to roll over everyone including the other finalist.

At least I hope not.

I would like to play against you, Hiryuu, though I won't have a chance. I played against Tamarin and it was fun. Maybe one of the next days; due to the time zone offset it could be problems with this. But anyway

Went 9-0 against Surlent. He's probably the person who's lasted the longest against me in Level 5 now (3'21).

It's fun to see some of the tactics some of the higher ups go for. Tam's more based on offense and has the downfall of attacking to much to leave himself open, Surlent's more based around counter-back defense so his downpoint is just wearing him down.

The only real thing that's going to beat me out is improving on the tactic that I have, which is attack fast and chain hard (but not necessarily x13s all the time neither). If you can do x13s or so all the time, you'll beat me.

Meh I'd like to go against you for the fun of it...But not until I get to my dads later this week...I have everything there. Here...My PC exploded when I was gone...We saved everything but was on our desktops (Because we couldnt save the boot record or the MBR)...Guess what was on my desktop...ZSNES and Tetris Attack. You'd think I can redownload them, but I cant, as when I go to download something...It goes haywire...God this sucks.

Eh? Attacking too much?

*looks through memories of previous matches which had three 2layer garbage blocks and 5 combo-induced garbage blocks all on the opponent*

Maybe you have a point...

Anyway, the only one I haven't played against is Kitten Yiffer.

As far as I can tell, certain things are set in stone.

Colleen vs. Sonicandtails

Me/Surlent/Xkeeper (Pick two...)

Hiryuu and the one left out above.

Thing is, we're short a person. Still.

Attack without defense.

I think Surlent asked me why I didn't flat out go for x13s like I do sometimes in Time Trial, and the reason is that in TT I don't have to worry about defense, I just plain haul ass. I have a movie where I did a x13 right off the bat and I quickly learned that every time I do that, I better not be doing it for show because the opposition will more than likely have something to send your way, so be prepared to defend. Recall all those blitzes I shot at you, Tam? That'd be why.

Well, Hiryuu, that was right. But just to see my own weak point (like many others) - I have issues with clearing garbage, on the other hand I clear it and get at least a x5 or x6 usually - it is weak, but gives me a little more time and the opponent making to clear himself that block, so I could try to set up something.
I also checked the movies on that bigger Tetris Attack page (the two words are the main parts of the page; due to two ROMs in its download section I must not link to it), also some techniques like Stealth, the Late Slip and the last two ones still are tricky for me - I also slowly improve by clearing more horizontal panels, while a chain is going.

The other reason is simply lacking experience:
That game is out since a longer time, I know it only since 2003, I played maybe a few weeks, then let the game down and began playing just for fun again in May 2005 (wanted to beat at least Hard without a continue - now my aim is to achieve that _constantly_ in Very Hard mode and even some day to defeat the level 7 CPU in Time Trial; currently my stats in 2P VS against lv. 7 CPU are about equal/only slightly better (something like 5-3 for me) and in TT I beat the Level 6 CPU to about 50% of the time.

But give two more years - and I maybe even could score one win in ten games against Abusred Rib, Hiryuu an such
Other than that I'll start studying "Japanese studies" next month (finally), so I will cut down my time here obviously.
