Imagine if she were to play Tetris with both hands.

What is doing it without a Tetris?

@@anandasatria7734 A Tetris is getting 4 lines at once with an I piece.

Yeah honestly, that last rule just seems really dumb..

@@umbaupause It's all in the downstack.

*Shounen sweat nervously*

@@shanehunts342 clearly a man of culture

Glad im not the only one that heard this lmfao

What shibari

90's Tetris player was about doing Tetris, not 3-wide or 4-wide

Indeed w

Exactly

Yea it is how to be a 90’s tetris player without the tetris part tho

you mean how to be wide player

i've completed the '3 wins in a row' badge many times, i have yet to even get one game completed for this task. it's actually impossible, you can't even play tetris classic style cause you can't do tetrises.

Is it possible to unbind the hold key just for this challenge?

Yeah, I wrote this one off as impossible. I play by instinct. It is not possible to play well and think about it. Especially not in a game like this where time is of the essence at the end. It's also just not fun. Being good at a game is to just play well, not think about every little thing you're doing. If I wanted to think about it I wouldn't bother getting good in the first place.

@@KristopherCharles Muscle memory and instinct are the core components of playing Tetris tbh. As soon as you actively engage in it everything goes to shit. Like breathing, you just don't do it as well when you're thinking about it.

So basically she is playing the game with only the features that was available in early versions of Tetris.

@@luckyvernhelar6643 only you're not allowed to clear 4 lines at once.

okay that is hard. thank you the info

I mean you kinda are forced to play the stall strat and wait for others to be top-out. You can't receive more than 12 garbage lines in your pending queue and moving pieces around on the ground helps stalling unlike classic Tetris, so the strat are perfect for the challenge.

​@@luckyvernhelar6643 except for, y'know... The one feature that the entire game is named after.

YABE

but she actually realized that she held so that doesn't count lol

The blocky shapes are actually named tetriminos

What the guy above said plus, the full name is tetrimino

TIL Tetris company decided to officially spell this differently from the standard mathematical term ("tetromino")

Also did a tetris at 1:55

Not holding will take a few games to get used to, but not being able to clear out junk piles quickly is a bigger handicap imo.

@@azelynhirano7737 ya but more than tetris and t-spin, not being able to swap pieces for the situation prevents you from being able to do chains very easily which is the bigger clutch especially since you can't tetris or t-spin. The challenge would be very easy if you can swap since you can easily just clear lines one at a time for the chain and gives you the firepower to just not get much garbage and even use the garbage to continue your chain. Heck you could even use 4 wide the entire game and just win like that.

@@codeotaku8857 Tetris 99 is a battle royale. It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability to kill others. The only thing that really matters is to stay alive while the other players kill each other. Being able to clear junk piles matter way more than killing other players.

@@azelynhirano7737 correct me if I'm wrong, but... sending lines against garbage clears garbage. Being able to chain means you get less garbage and you stay alive longer. When clearing one line clears all your garbage and even attacks back, everything becomes easy mode and as a bonus even gets you badges to make it even more low-effort. It is precisely because of the power of chains that people purposely move slow when the 4 wides starts to fire since you start to only need to clear one line to get the same result as people doing tetris and tspin so you can easily survive while having more lines to work with. I don't know if people still use the strat, but there a time in tetris 99 that people purposely built all the way to the top to gain the hate of people who use KO as their target and targeted their attackers and sent 1 line at a time to get free wins.

It kind of does, but it doesn't effect much. There's a player level system, but the games matchmaking isn't skill-based, so everyone can be matched with everyone.

NES Tetris without the tetris.

… and with 98 other people out to hurt you.

The best way to win.

Tetris is when you clear four lines at once. Hold is when you store the current piece in the holding area in the top left.

@@顔boom ah so hold is like reserve the piece to trying tetris thanks

I know both of them but what the hell is a t-spin!!??

@@thegreatmammon3075 it varies between Tetris editions but it's basically locking the T in a space that can only be reached by rotating it. IIRC clearing one or more lines that way grants you a larger multiplier for sending junk to the opponent than clearing with a tetris does. Check the end of the clip for an example.

Tetris 99

I don't think the fact it may have used "or" matters. When a sentence is phrased in the negative (i.e. restrictions/can't do) they are liked by "or" because they are all individual things. I.e. To win, you can't do this or this or this. Even if most of the "ors" can be subsituted with commas, its still connecting independent restrictions. It's only when a question is phrased in the positive that "or" becomes a divider. This is because rather than looking at things in terms of multiple loss variables it is looked at as a "singular" winning condition. I.e. To win, Suisei must do this and this and this. "Or" only implies multiple winning conditions if used in the positive structure, because it breaks up the singular win condition. I can't read Japanese so I can't tell which it is here, but these are the three options in English.

Just to confirm, this achievement requires you to avoid all of those mechanics. It's pretty easy to get top 10 without T-spins.

I looked it up and apparently, “Tetris” is when you clear 4 lines at once (in other words, using the I-piece)

A Tetris refers to clearing 4 lines with a single piece
