Besides many sex differences in physiological processes, studies in axSpA have also revealed sex differences in gene expression and body composition. In addition, women with axSpA have different pain mechanisms and hormonal influences that might contribute to higher DASs compared with men. 2020 October 14, Tamara Rusman, Rianne E. van Bentum, Irene E. van der Horst-Bruinsma, “Sex and gender differences in axial spondyloarthritis: myths and truths”, in Rheumatology, volume 59, number Supplement_4, →DOI, page iv39:

Prior to this, DAS and Hypertapping were the two standards for Tetris pros, but Rolling allows for a high amount of button presses per second without the "superhuman finger speeds" needed for Hypertapping, modified controllers, or any gloves - which also makes it is perfectly legal for tournament play. 2021 April 28, Adam Bankhurst, “NES Tetris Players Are Using a Special Technique Called Rolling to Set New World Records”, in IGN:
The first known way past the brick wall of Level 29 was a technique that became known as hypertapping. By using a special grip that lets you vibrate a finger over the D-pad directions at least 10 times a second, you can effectively skip the "delayed autoshift" (DAS) that limits how fast pieces can move laterally when the D-pad is held down. 2024 January 2, Kyle Orland, “34 years later, a 13-year-old hits the NES Tetris “kill screen””, in Ars Technica:
Still, playing at higher levels with DAS is not as easy as it sounds. 2023 December 1, Evelynn Kersting, “GAMES AND TIME”, in University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, archived from the original on 07 Jun 2025, page 250, archived from the original on 06 Jun 2025:
