Fuck you man, Dr. Mario is serious business! I used to have an 8000+ rank on the WiiWare one. Easily my fav competitive puzzle game. NES ver was the best, though. You could prevent your opponent from even playing if you were good enough.
You can’t ever beat Tetris, especially if you are in that Tetris zone.
Like you go “Line! Square! T!” and everything fits perfectly, and if you fuck up once you’re out of the zone and basically dead…
Pff, competitive Tetris is shit. Game stinks of modern day fighters. Horrible comeback mechanics.
I know youtube’s got a fair amount of tourney footage, but the shit’s from cons and they mostly suck. I’d love to find some Japanese footage, though. They know what’s up.
WiiWare Dr. Mario is hilarious 'cause once you hit the 6500+ range, all you see left is kanji.
What are you talkin’ about? Shit’s been like that since the Tengen era. Added rows all had the same hole. All it took was a line or two and an opening. Instant returns. IIRC, once you hit a certain level, the hole didn’t even move, which only made you have to start out at L0 to make it even remotely interesting.
Tetris Attack and Puzzle Fighter are better competitive puzzlers than friggin’ Tetris.
