Tuning Limit Deadline Bombs

All you need to know about Tuning Limit Deadline Bombs.

Introduction

Tuning Limit Deadline Bombs is an official ruleset with Tuning Limit enabled, meaning that there are line clear delays, and that the speed tunings are set to 150/25 for left/right, and 25/25/1000 for vertical. It uses non-blocking handicap with bombs, deadline attacking rules, 3 previews and a 1-bag randomizer.

Attacking rules

Attacking strategies that are not mentioned below do not send any line.

The handicap's messiness is determined as in deadline attacking rules: check this page for in-depth explanations.

Combos

The combo detection is deadline-wise (i.e. placing a block that doesn't clear any line only breaks the ongoing combo when the deadline is equal 0).

When a line clear is mode, the new deadline is equal to Math.min(dl[k], Math.max(Math.floor(dl[k]/4),pdl-1)+lc) where k is the combo count, lc is the number of lines cleared, dl[k] is the maximal deadline specified in the table below and pdl is the current deadline state when the line clear is made.

The exact amount of lines sent depends on both the combo count and the number of handicap lines that you cleared.

Let's assume a player just did a k-combo after clearing h handicap lines, then the number of lines sent is Math.min(Math.max(1, h), l(k)) where l(k) is the maximum number of lines you can send with a k-combo. This maximum is described in the table below.
