I fancied myself a pretty good Tetris player. I cut my chops on the OG Nintendo version, even getting 200+ lines starting from level 19, and I was not too shabby against friends throughout the years in multi-player matchups on the SNES and the N64.
After playing online via the Nintendo DS + Tetris DS, I will never again call myself a good Tetris player.
Wow. Here’s some advice for you if you are thinking about playing this: never play against someone with Chinese or Japanese characters in their name. WOW. I just got my ass handed to me, 2 wins with around 30 losses, in 30 minutes. These guys are good. And I’m pretty sure I have not even seen the best players play. After one match, I looked up at the opposing players screen, and he had four blocks in his screen. It was completely clear.
Kind of sucks, because my Tetris confidence, built over the years, has been completely shattered. I’d love to see a Tetris world championship, if it exists.
