Because it presents a challenge and you get to call yourself a Grandmaster of Tetris if you succeed in a prolonged trial.

The gameplay during the credit roll is nothing short of mindblowing either.

Why do all the Tetris pros like this version over others?

because its insanely hard as gently caress and there is a grandmaster certification wherein you have to do some insane poo poo multiple games in a row and maybe you'll become a grandmaster

also the last time I checked there was only a single American grandmaster, and if its expanded past that, I still bet you could count the number of grandmasters on a single hand in north america

That version of tetris according to those folks has been tuned to about as fast as a human player can be expected to play. The time you get from the piece appearing on the field and locking at the bottom is measured in double digits frames at the higher speeds. I've tried playing the so called Easy mode at the arcade and barely managed to clear it.

Hell it's the only Tetris that provides a challenge for them (single player at least).

And you only get the special credit roll if you played through well enough, beyond just getting to it in the first place.

Way back in the old days of TetriNET I was told to not even bother trying to go online until you can average at least 100 pieces per minute, and I doubt that people have gotten worse at Tetris in the years since. You basically have to just slam down the pieces as fast as you can process what shape they are. Placing them in places that aren't stupid comes with time.

Even without items and stuff, it's a completely different game than single player score attack Tetris.

tetris grandmaster is such a mentally taxing game that iirc Kevinddr had a meltdown over the third game i think? I think he grinded the gently caress out of it so much and had nothing to show for it and smashed the board to satisfy all the poo poo he was sacrificing for it.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

I'm pretty good at Tetris, but I can't get more than a 2-chain at Puyo to save my life. The tutorial videos are useless, too; Video one: Durr, match the colors idiot. Video two: perfect five-chain stairstep patterns with no explanation on how to actually set them up without lucking in to the perfect pieces.

How do you beat the AI in tetris anyway? I'm on 3-10 and I can go for a good while getting tetris's and line clears but like, the AI never actually dies despite not doing as well as me and it's kind of frustrating. Then a missed input randomly happens and rip there goes the last 4-5 minutes

Welp, stuck on 4-4. Score 15,000 points in 30 seconds at Puyo? What? This seems so far beyond what I'm capable of that I worry I'll never finish the story mode.

Edit: Bitching about it, in classic fashion, cauaed me to immediately nail it. Also wasn't actually hard because I'd been reading the scores wrong by and thought my best attempt was 1000 when it was actually 10,000.

I still suck rear end at Puyo though.

i look forward to the inevitable sloppy controls and dropped frames because they felt compelled to make it actually just a 3D game with a locked camera that the console can't quite handle and miss the entire point again

Did...did you never play/see Generations or Colors or Unleashed? This game isn't Sonic 4 and isn't made by Dimps.

Forces is basically Generations 2 from what we've seen so far, but with original levels and a ~mystery~ third character with a different playstyle from Classic/Modern Sonic.
