The options screen that shows hardest briefly shown before beginning the run. I was a bit hasty to get this run going at 4AM so I'll remember to give the verifiers a better chance to see the screen on future runs.

Stage 1: 36 This level wasn't good, I was going to restart if I topped out (over his column 3 clear b4 my attack,) if I didn't I'd continue... I didn't so I resumed.
Stage 2: 32 Over did the damage a bit, some hesitance with a piece or two but clean.
Stage 3: 35 Small mis-drop at the end with the 1st double red (should have dropped 1-2 instead of both on 2), but otherwise decent run. First of 2 time check resets.
Time check: +13, I'm not happy at this point, but I'm on par with my personal best at the time so I resumed.
Stage 4: 25 Since he stacks the edges, you can do with a weaker combo then necessary to win.
Stage 5: 32 Didn't like the pieces, took a risk, paid off. Did a 2 chain to finish him off with good RNG (5-3 with him already toping 4)
Stage 6: 31 I got lucky with his attack, he cleared alot of pieces so the damage killed him off.
Stage 7: 29 Not much to say, clean stairs, easy win.
Stage 8: 24 He stacked around column 3, I got lucky and the time shows it. Second time check.
Time Check #2: +4 Gained time, had a great streak of levels. No big blowups so I resume.
Stage 9: 28 Got the pieces when I needed them, the red L when he sent garbage over concerned me but garbage kept falling on 1.
Stage 10: 50 Nerves got to me and I played bad, just trying to get him to stop clearing puyo. I was thinking this was going to be a 390 (30s per stage average) up to this point.
Stage 11: 29 Bit of a sloppy piece start after stage 10, but his stack helped my big attack be successful.
Stage 12: 25 Fast thinking got me this fast time, good pieces to help out.
Stage 13: 31 Indecisive if I was going left to right or right to left, could have gone either way but I started from the right and could have gone faster if I waited but 1 piece queue made me attack early. Future games may have prevented my early attack.

Overall Gametime 407s, avg per stage 31.3

Overall notes: Mediocre start and might have restarted after 3 levels but my 4-9 made sticking out worth it. Most levels sub 30 and only one level greater than 36s meant this was a great run. It can be improved sure, but I'm probably going to hibernate until 2012 when I'll aim for 390 again.
