Competitive Puzzle Games

Yeah. I play online emu with keyboard. Not sure if there is a significant difference. But thats rad. I might be picking up a switch soon and may get it on VC. However, there are a bunch more tetris games on switch so who knows.
Don't get a switch. You can not play because of the controller drift
 
From what I've seen, the drift is quite easy to fix. I haven't experienced it personally, but I watched a few tutorials for fixing it, the solutions seemed really easy, and I didn't see any comments saying it didn't work.
Bruh mine is crazy then. I still can't play fortnite with 0.5 deadzones.
 
S, bizarre update. I recently found the strangest puzzler non-puzzler competitive game. Ikaruga. On face value it is simply a fantastic shoot em up ( shmup ) however, below the surface, it is a intricate puzzler as you optimize high score runs through chains ( groups of 3 ships ). It has a pretty difficult learning curve but its addicting and wildly entertaining to watch. One of the most beautiful games out there. Can't recommend it enough.

 
Goal: Supra-350k
Week 2: De-rust but more

Averaging ~ 85k
PB ~150k

Next week: Get a Supra-175k and work on 7 + 8 level start.
 
Avg: ~80k
PB: 311k

Goals for this week: At least three 100k+ games. Do level 19 starts to get used to the speed and go for at least 10 lines.
Good news! Last week I got 5 games above 100k and improved my consistency. I used to randomly get ~20k games but I worked on burning lines and cleaner stacking.

Still averaging 80k
PB: 311k

Goals:
At least one game >200k and go for 10 lines on level 19 again.

Still averaging around 85k.
PB ~150k

Goals 150k-175k + average ~100k with level 8 start. Start grinding level 9 start + work on better transitions.

A quick tip for burning => Leave the column next to the well 1-3 blocks less than the rest of the stack. This leaves burns open to L, J, T, O, Z, and S pieces. Z only works with one less block, the rest 3 except O.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll work on implementing this into my games.
Btw are you any good at tucks ?
Not exceedingly. I can do it when the need arises but I don’t do tucks that often (Usually not more than 5 per game) Are you?

I'm pretty decent, I think. I always start with 1-2 tucks at the beginning with Z and S pieces and I'm usually okay when I have misdrops. Sometimes I can S/Z spin but I can't get T spins at all. I don't think its super crucial overall except when you have misdrops and your stack is high. I think one of my strong suits is being able to recover after mistdrops and high stacks but it always ends up with low scores since you aren't getting tetri.

WEll maybe not recover but hang on for a long while

Tucks are always impressive but its way better to have clean stacking and just avoid situation where you're forced to tuck
 
Update:
Averaging closer to 100k but not sure where exactly.
PB 184k !!

Goals 200k + average 90-100k solidly. Still work on the level 9 grind.

On another note have been playing a bunch of tetris 99 and got a bunch of top 10 finishes. Still haven't clutched a victory though :(
