I haven't played TGM in a while.

Surprise surprise, game still rules!

 

[Vorpal]

My face the whole time

These guys keep referring to players from the Japanese scene for this game--it would be so cool to see them all play together at a GDQ

 

[Macheezmo]

In the amount of time I process what piece is about to drop, they've dropped it plus one more. This is insane

How is this not esports? This is amazing.

 

[Grinchy]

This is definitely one of the highlights of the event for me.

 

[Tain]

oh yes TGM3, bring out that Type-X and let's get this really started.

 

[medze]

Five years to get grandmaster on tgm2? Holy shit

 

[purg3]

5 years for that dude to get grandmaster? wat.

 

[Deleted member 57681]

Warmup's over!

 

[entremet]

You either an expensive arcade board or you need to go the illegal route. The latter would be shut down by the Tetris Company.

I would love a PC port.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Twitch stream not loading here. page loads, but the video never starts..

 

[RepairmanJack]

I don't know if I could stick with something 5 years just to start getting competitive. Holy shit.

 

[Tain]

I'm glad AGDQ is showing this game off. In general I feel that a lot of speedrunners would be interested in arcade game mastery but you don't really see signs of that in the streams. Maybe it's because arcade games tend to be way more challenging and generally "locked down" where speedruns are often more bug exhibitions? I don't know, I don't follow speedrunning very closely.

 

[PandaPedinte]

I just watch the VoD of Rogue Legacy and the guy playing was very impressive with his skills.

 

[twothunder]

This grandmaster Tetris thing is crazy

 

[Weetrick]

I missed the Sonic block today. Which run was most worth watching?
I'm not really into Sonic so I'm not gonna watch them all.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles I would say.

I only watched the first two, but Sonic 3 and Knuckles was great, that one gets my vote.

 

[Frecklestein]

My hands just hurt watching that whole Tetris run

 

[Cody_D165]

metal as fuck

Arcade games don't lend themselves to speedrunning simply to the difficulty of obtaining original hardware to allow yourself to practice enough. Emulation is useful for practice, but pretty much never considered for an official WR.

"i took the GM Exam... I failed it" this is some shonen manga shit

I do not understand why this Tetris game exists, but yes, that subtitle is absolutely amazing for a Tetris game.

 

[RepairmanJack]
