I probably won't ever come close to this score on the xbox but for submitted for your viewing pleasure:

thats just your perception. when i watch my own replays i say things like:
"man, how am i so good?"
"dude im sooo fast"
"oh wow, i didn't even see that one"
so i think its basically that our minds "slow" down time when we're actually playing, but once u see it on video, its actually very very fast.
..... and i thought i was the man with my 30 blocks in 60 seconds. lololololololol
there is something wrong with you man! by the way good job there that is insane!
if it was vs mode (and there was no lag!) i think the game would be very different. cleanliness would be much much more important. another factor would also be who is on the left and right, i think its harder for me to play on the right side. lastly, there would be no "throwing" of pieces since u only have half of the board to work with... oh but im sure it would be exciting =)
anyway, if im trying (which is actually very taxing on me) i average about 175. if im just playing regularly, to loosen up my fingers or just kill time, id say about 160.
ive been trying to up my scores on the longer time attacks and here's where i am so far:
3 min: 544
5 min: 890
10min: 1741
and the last thing i do when i tire of playing one min time attack normally is playing 1 min time attack without rotating. so far, the best i can do is 108. anyway, just giving mr hexic a few more targets to aim for ;)

Very impressive, wow.I've got just 91..., I want some day to bit 100...
I have question: This is not X360? What platform is this? PS2, PSP?

i don't kill off as many of my games so i will get the occasional 140-150 game. id say i probably kill about 15% of my games at most. sometimes i just like trying to see how well i can recover from bad misdrops. anyway, how long can you keep up that 170-180 avg? i think i can only play seriously for about 30 min at a time. sometimes its subtle but i notice that i start making bad choices, and once i notice that all of a sudden i realize that im mentally tired. and its not like im old... so i just wonder how you compare in terms of endurance.
also, how often do u play? im on break so my roommate went back to his parents' for the week so i dont have a psp to play on, but during schooltime id say i play about 4-7 hrs a week and my sessions are never longer than 90 mins each.
i've played lumines pretty much since it first came out, which is a little less than 2 yrs ago. thats amazing that u can play for that long a period straight. i guess i would too if i had some time on my hands. i dont have an exact count on total hours played but i was thinking about it in the shower one day and i think im somewhere around 500-600 hrs. but as u know thats spread out over a much longer time than yours. its just like any other skill/ability. the intensity and duration of your "practice" is the key to improvement. who knows... when i graduate in 3 months ill have a month or so of free time...
anyway, congrats on the 200. we're easily 2 of the best lumines players in the world (if not the best).
so i was doing a little bit of theoretical work trying to figure out the maximum score on 60s time attack. the most blocks ive dropped in a single game is around 105. divided by 15 passes is 7 blocks per pass (of course the 1st and last pass will be different). if the blocks were purely of one color, that makes 17 per pass which comes out to 255. soooo, i just wonder what is the highest possible score we can manage. ~7-8 months ago i thought 200 was impossible. but im thinking a realistic "perfect" game would be about 215. agree? in any case, if i ever hit 210 ill probably stop playing it seriously. unless another tourney comes up
