None at all, because the game actually lets both players play completely independently of each other.
If both players start at the same time, however, there's also a cool "Doubles" mode, where you both co-operate on a single giant well of blocks:
This mode is REALLY fun! But it's much harder than you'd think: the pieces drop rather fast after about a minute, and you and your partner tend to get in each other's way a lot (and your pieces can't move through each other), which also adds to the fun . Heck, even these guys messed each other up several times .
I'm hoping he brings out TGM2: TAP to more of our university gaming events, so that I can play it again .
There was this guy named Jin8 or something on youtube who was a marathon master, but I think his videos were removed recently cuz I don't see them in my youtube history.
This version that you posted is the one you play with a joystick, arcade style.
I play Tetris often myself, but it's on the keyboard, and I play at tetris.com You'd be amazed when you see players beat master mode with the keyboard, looks just like the arcade version as far as speed.

Sometimes you can actually be better at games by taking large breaks in between, because you forget your habits. It sounds like he used that technique a bit.
dude both are amazing but that japanese master is something else...do you have 'strats' for tetris or is it just about repeated exposure to the game and something about your brain that clicks with it?
yeah, that japanese guy is outstanding, but note that he always knows tow peaces ahead what is coming. I think our american fellow knew this, he played a different version.
There is practically a grandmaster for everything, there is a rock paper scissors grandmaster, with rock paper scissor supercomputers. No joke, google it.
