So it's even worse than luck. They programmed it into the game! So that Tetris playing was totally illegitimate. It needs to be random in order to keep players from doing that and getting a better score. If it's not random then its not competition Tetris.

The entire floor was ruined. The second one lightly tapped a curb and the engine support rail was so rusted it cracked, breaking the top of the shock tower and pulling the CV shaft out of the inner connector. These cars may get good mileage, but they're shit in the rust belt. Perhaps one of the few cars that rust faster than a Lada.

A few questions: 1. The temporary color changes. Is that from the NES or the VCR that recorded this? 2. In Tetris, at 3:29 and one other spot, the screen scrolls. Is that how it is on the VCR cassette? 3. Are the pieces that come down in this version of Tetris pre-defined or still random?
@rizz10109 жыл бұрын
Andy Shick I think the answers for 1 & 2 are because of the VCR recording (#2 is definitely because of the bad VHS tape I used). The pieces are pre-defined, but based on the score in Mario. A different score on mario will give a different group of pieces.
@Femaiden9 жыл бұрын
in the tetris part....you passed up the opportunity to use the line piece to get a tetris, like 4 times in a row, and then you let the pieces get to the top literally 3 pieces away from losing and then you always got the line piece just in time. how could you know it would give you the line piece just then? that you would know "oh i'm almost at the top and heres a line piece, i'm not gonna use it just yet because I know i'll get another one" and you did it like 4 times. i mean, sometimes it could take 20 or more pieces to get a single line piece, and you always seemed to get the Z piece that was oriented the correct way, you always got a square just when you had the perfect place to put it. tetris is partly luck based, there should be an even distribution of pieces and it shows on the side the distribution that you got an almost even distribution but i have had games where all the other pieces ratio to my line pieces was 4:1 where like , i had 20 each of all the other pieces and only 4 line pieces i know the video looks "genuine" but I dunno, i suppose someone could pull it off with clever editing. if it's for real then more power to you...
@KitaruTC9 жыл бұрын
LadyGenevieve The version of Tetris used in the Nintendo World Championships 1990 cart actually has a pattern to it -- the change was made to ensure all competitors had an even playing field rather than have the outcome be determined by getting more I-pieces within the time limit compared to someone else. The score you get in Mario determines where you start in the pattern and can also change some of the pieces in the beginning. So, if you try to get a specific score in the Mario segment, you can know what pieces will appear at what time.
@Femaiden9 жыл бұрын
so they did have advance knowledge...and they memorized it. i guess that's impressive anyway?
@rizz10109 жыл бұрын
LadyGenevieve I guess I'll say that memorization is just one piece of the puzzle. Getting the precise movements on the games takes lots of practice, even with the SMB portion. The controls for Tetris are a bit choppy at times, so even if you know where a piece should go, it's another story to get that piece into position with the most efficient movements on the controls. And it only takes one mistake on the tetris portion to throw the whole thing off. Thanks for the questions. :)
