My passive aggressive shilling for Microsoft has gone beyond weird obsession levels. I have no attachment to reality outside of my feelings for a plastic box. I should shut my fat fucking mouth and stop trying to do PR for a billion dollar corp
And now the game that was made because the devs didn't think TGM2 was hard enough.

Low time + high tetris number requirement to get invisible credits, then two tetrises during invisible credits I believe.

four times out of seven, I think, and even then it's only a 50% chance of getting the grandmaster test?

You have to Master Master or whatever 4 out of your last 7 games (which includes surviving the invisible credit sequence ) and then the game puts you on the spot and makes you do a perfect game.

It's something like you have to clear it as a master the majority of your last 7 games, and then there's a random chance it will give you the opportunity to try for GM.

"To achieve Grand Master status, a player needs to get a MasterM ranking four times in their most recent seven games. That means blasting through 999 pieces, meeting certain grading and timing requirements and then completing the credit roll when locked pieces turn invisible. Nail that four times, and you might just get a chance at a Grand Master promotional exam, in which you have to play near-perfectly again."

I hate to link polygon, but http://www.polygon.com/2015/1/28/7929659/tetris-grandmaster-3-terror-instinct-grand-master-kevin-birrell

e:fb, but that link also details the first guy to get GM in the US, and the first one outside of japan to get it

The meanest item they could do is one that makes it so the Tetris blocks you get aren't colorcoded and just come out as random colors.

This exists in Shirase mode in TGM3.

For reference, Shirase means something like "DEATH OMEN", iirc.



Also the :tetrisstare: emote should totally be :pcgaming: but with random tetris blocks for eyes.
