POLL: What is your least favorite Tetris piece?

[CStroman]

Mine would have to be the 2x2 block. There's rarely a good spot to put it!

 

[Viper GTS]

N/M, I was thinking a T with a much longer tail...

I'd have to say the 2x2 as well, I rarely have flat surfaces to put them on. They can be a royal pain in the ass.

The 2x2s suck. Late in the game, there's usually not a nice flat space for them, so they just create gaps.

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

s or z

 

[Poncherelli]

i hate the stupid Z's, they either make holes or awkward towers, but the 2x2 block can be evil sometimes too. The T piece is amazing, it fits anywhere.

 

[eakers]

i dub thee: greatest poll ever!

*kat. <-- hates the s and z pieces

 

[syzygy]

i always confuse the j and l. the 2x2 can cause the kind of trouble that i can work around,
but putting a 'j' where 'l' needed to be or being unable to decide which goes where creates
worse problems. j and l are longer pieces, and if misplaced they cause worse problems.

i don't mind the s and z. i've almost mastered them. while i may not be able to find or create
the best spot for them a mistake with either one does little if any damage. the 't' is amazing;
its a damn lifesaver. there should be a song, a philosophy, or at the very least a poem about
the tetris t. its powers resonate outside the context of the game. serious !

S and Z are the worst. Man you don't know how many times it messed me up. My favorites were the 4x1 bar and the 2x2. Especially when they come in that order from the start.

 

[Wallydraigle]

Early in the game s and z. Later square piece is the devil.

 

[Antoneo]

Actually the T will have to be added to my favorite piece as well. Oh so versatile! Hmm.. I wish they made a tetris game for the new systems out now. 4 player tetris on Xbox or GC = much fun.

<< Early in the game s and z. Later square piece is the devil. >>



So, according you your sig, the square piece is in your pants?

 

[MajesticMoose]

You forgot a piece. The 3 block one with the nub in the middle.

edit: I guess that explains why i've never heard of the "T"

[arigato]

Another vote for s and z. They always show up when you can't fit them anywhere.

 

[aphex]

You guys ever played the dreamcast version, the Next Tetris?

 

[Antoneo]

<< You guys ever played the dreamcast version, the Next Tetris? >>


Oh man, never even heard of that... is it any good? What happened to tetris these days? Am I getting old or something?

 

[Evadman]

That block is annoying

 

[aphex]

Its a tad different, but really addictive on 2 player.... Whenever you get 2 or more pieces you spin the other persons screen around making them screw up, and the only mode to play 2 player is like B mode on Gameboy (going down to nothing with some rows already started).

Id highly reccomend it for hours of 2 person grudge matches

I just realized that I'm doing better than Jerboy, because he has posted several polls, and this is my first!

 

[Lars]

The 2x2 block

 

[Maleficus]

The S or Z blocks are both evil!
man i havent played tetris in YEARS

 

[blueadobe2000]

t

 

[monk3y]

Definately the z and s peices... especially if you get too many of them, which is what usually happens.

There's always TetriNET and TetriNET 2 on PC with 6 players over the Net or LAN. It mods the original tetris a bit by adding special blocks, but you can disable them for the most part.

[edit]
Oh yeah, they're (legally ) free as well.

Never thought of this before, but the 2x2 square block sucks! By the way, has anyone thought of making a Tetrinet kinda of a thingee for cell phones? That's my next pet programming project! If I knew anything about programming cell phones. Way cool poll by the way.
