Differences Between BlockBox (BB) vs Tetris Splash 40 lines
How come the 40 line times are way different from the 2. The fastest 40 line times between Mario's (GinoMap) time is about 41 seconds and Maserati's time in BB is 23 seconds. Is there any difference between the two? Any skill gap? Is the computer just faster than the console controller? What are the differences?

40 lines on BB has no line clear delay. That makes for a huge difference with times. Also you can play quicker with a keyboard vs. a controller. If you use the default settings for Splash, you use both thumbs and one finger. With a keyboard you could use all 10 fingers.....

Yeah I haven't been on my xbox too much lately. Wife, kids, job...... Bah, not enough free time. For the last 2 weeks or so I've been practicing playing Tetris on the pc with a keyboard. Always used a game pad for the last 20 years....

lol i understand you, but i'm way too lazy and i got sick of being so bad using a keyboard so i just started using one of those wireless thingy to use your xbox controller on your PC hehe.

But ya, like Dumbledors said, Keyboard is technicaly faster than a controller cuz you don't have to wait for the joystick to come back in "Neutral" position everytime you want to move, and the speed at which the blocks get cleared is also a factor.

Oh by the way, If you're interrested in a really really good tetris for the PC Dumbledors,

Gotta register here first :

It's not all that hard to register if you use altavista's bable fish translation tool to know what to fill in.

That game got 24 levels of computer to play against (They make the DS's lvl 5 one look like crap) and the multiplayer is free, there are some restrictions since it's a paying game but you can play for free and get like 90% of the game, the only thing is that only one game mode (Marathon, Challenge, 40 Lines) is aviable per day.
