Hey y’all, I just wanted to let you guys know that this game was cheated. It was meant as an April Fool’s joke so I hope you guys aren’t offended or upset. How did I cheat? Simply said, I would press “Start” to receive an I-piece. I would use this cheat to make it seem as if I had godly RNG. After the livestream, some players analyzed my 1.4 game and found some inconsistencies with the RNG (when I would press start for a longbar). Obviously, this was a very detectable way to cheat and Hydrant (and some CTM moderators??) knew that I was cheating throughout the livestream.
Congratulations on a successful April 1st joke (I was fooled) but to tell you the truth I feel a little disgusted. Tetris is a game where the highest scores require good rng and you're not too far from that score. Such a joke will throw suspicion on anyone who does 1.4 without cheating. I've been playing for two years and my transition score is 697k, and watching your video I couldn't see that it's not just good rng. The idea behind the April Fools' Day joke is that you only need to think about something a second time to see the scam. It looks 99% real here, which is why I don't find it that funny.
Yeah it just seems a bit cheap, was so excited to see something that I thought was groundbreaking especially after you spent like 15 minutes afterwards denying any cheating and saying it was legit
Dang, you got me. What about the official classic tetris channel? Were they just playing with it as well? EDIT: I just realized this is (perhaps) the reason you didn't show your controller. Lmao
@@StrykerV8 Level 29 was previously dubbed the "killscreen" but only because nearly everybody who got to that level couldn't play at that speed. Now it's less of a threat due to hypertapping.
Yea me too: but he actually hit the 1.4 exactly the same time that he hit the kill screen. Makes me wonder if he broke any other records along the way? Fastest to 1 million maybe? Highest score for 100 lines maybe? Highest score for a level 18 start transition maybe? The tetris community could do with a place where all these statistcs/records are kept.
@@33Pokenerd turned out it wasnt real and it was a prank. a quite dumb prank cuz now everyone may just remember him as a cheater cuz it wasnt the first time he faked a score and also if he ever actually get the score not many will believe him
Man, i was reading some replies on some comments and Damn, some people are taking this hard for no reason. I see this as a lighthearted joke that you wanted to pull for april fools, while someone i saw was saying "He will go down in tetris history as a cheater" Like damn, it was a joke for April Fools Bro.
I am Japanese. I'm always watching your video. I like Tetris and always play it. I'm very surprised that Tetris is getting better and better every time you upload a video! Congratulations on truly achieving the world record!
@@atheoristspointofview7059 I have to admit, he got me, this is literally the first time in my life that I got pranked on April fool's day, he's just too good at everything 😂
Oh yeah nothing come backey about it, JD said it best last week in a twitch stream to put out world record every week is literally unsustainable. Besides even when hes not at his very best if he isn't right now emotionally or in some other way lets say for arguments sake, hes still a top 5 world player at worst just cause Dog is currently #1 doesn't mean he cant be beaten as well including by JD on any given day in this case the level gap between top players is just closing is all ya know. Was awesome though right!.
Interesting to hear Joseph's positive self talk and controlled breathing - reminded me of Jonas' CTWC qualification stream where he had to bear down to get his max! Two of the greatest players ever!
Just watched the 2018 and 2019 CTWC and even tho I wasn’t there my heart beat really fast when u guys were going really fast. You’re great at the game and hope to see more 😁
GG man! Really wish I saw this live, but major congrats man! So glad to see you get a recorded 1.4, especially so early without needing any killscreen!
Hope your well man, I know what ya mean on that stream last week when ya said this level of content is virtually unsustainable, I hope ya still have fun playing tetris though and if not a break is always ok ya know, anyways in meantime congrats man was just a matter of time after that insane level 19 1.39 game months back ya know.
Hahahaha we were all rooting for you, JD! 1.4mi will come, but dang, did you fool me! I’m just happy that you aren’t retiring. I need to see you take back the World Championship first.
I literally didn't believe this at first and had to check the twitch clip. Congratulations on this amazing feat man, you've definitely earned it. P.S. thanks for whoever gifted me the sub right after the 1.4
Yeah, probably faked :'( Fractal's analysis supposedly found a discrepancy in the game's rng (JD getting bars when he shouldn't according to how the randomizer works). And hydrant claiming he gave jd a rom giving the player a long bar for his next next piece (so the cheat can't be seen in the next box) by pressing start. But even with this cheat we can appreciate how clean the game is, very impressive stacking. Plus he didn't have that many long bars compared to say... Harry's das wr.
EEEEEEE WE GOT AN EEEEE! ❤️💪🎊🥂 G f-ing G Joseph! I missed the stream by an hour, my insomnia was late to kick in tonight of all nights so cri but then also so happy! Congratulations on first recorded one, it's a pleasure to watch so I'll go watch it some more 🙂
For anyone thinking he was trying to get away with this as a legitimate record. C'mon now he posted this ON APRIL 1ST, let's be real peeps lol. If he really wanted to cheat his way into the history books, for one he's already legitimately done it 9000 times, and for two he would have done this less suspiciously on a different date and with less cheating to bring down the suspicious odds. He could legitimately get 1.4 cheating without no one ever finding out if he truly wanted to. He wouldn't do it though, at least he has never done so. We all know how good JD is, some would argue he's the GOAT. You can't cheat your way into that status lol, not with back to back World Champion titles and plenty of world records to back it up. Anyone salty over this is just upset that the 1.4 wasn't reached. It'll come some day. If this prank ruined your mood, you need to seriously take a step back and relax lol.
The fact that this a joke and it's 100% believable because Joseph is unbelievable at this game makes it so much better 😂😂😂 EDIT: Nah he's just unbelievable 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Completely incredible. The pieces weren’t even that lucky. Yeah, there weren’t too many droughts, but his stacking was just perfection.
Tetris has a killscreen? What level automatically kills you?

that was so clean
