Amazing video scout! Its amazing to be in one of your videos since your videos are what got me into the Tetris scene in the first place.
Yo, it’s Scuti himself! Legendary stuff, dude.
Congrats!
Hell yeah Scuti!!! Incredible stuff man
Hey man! There's a lot of people that are super proud of you.
Good work(:
The best of wishes to all your endeavors. Beating tetris is only the beginning :)
So happy for you, young man. Awesome job! 💪🏻
The fact that the two top rivals don't even show any sort of malice of jealousy, but rather appreciation for each other in the competitive scene is a breath of fresh air
I always found speedrunners in general to be surprisingly friendly despite how competitive it could be.
@@cdfactory meanwhile at super smash con…
Most speedrunners are very courteous to their competitors, there would be no thrill without competition, nothing to look forward to or sense of progression.
game recognises game.
@@cdfactoryive always seen them as people who are trying to solve a puzzle together
You know what I LOVE about this? When the two guys are competing and the one dude hears about the other guy, he stops what he is doing and watches the other guys run and genuinely is happy that “he did it” even though technically it meant he lost the race. There is a genuine love of the game there.
And he was so excited!
Instead of jealousy or bitterness, the dude congratulated and was so excited for the kid. An Absolute Legend they both are
It's so wholesome!
This is very common in speedrunning and other extreme hardcore gaming challenges, and it's part of why I got so invested in it. It's so fun and wholesome how at the heart it's a community working together to push the limits.
yeah that got me too. That absolutely giddy clap when his rival hit the killscreen. That brought a tear to my eye.
I love how when he got the crash instead of getting upset, the others freaked out and acted like it was "them vs. Tetris" rather than their competing with each other. Maybe it's an illusion, but damn, seems like the Tetris community is pretty wholesome!
It's always been this way. Being a grandmaster myself, I've always looked up to masters strictly because I know the time sink to become half good on any version. You always have this sense like everyone's almost perfect, but you could be better.
I think it's specifically because it shows others, that it's possible to actually do it without computers and shit.
@@mrtoxicwastelandgrandmaster of what? Being a loser?
No secx allowed
@@mrtoxicwastelandgrandmaster at what
The rebirth screen is just like the quote "to reach the end, you must seek the beginning."
I like the fact that the other player seems so happy for Scuti while he is supposed to be a "rival". I like the good vibes that this community generates.
The true definition of "friendly rivalry". They love the competition with each other, but also love celebrating when one of their own gains a victory.
I have zero interest in the stuff, not sure why I watched the video, but yes, this was the best thing I noticed. He was happy for his "friend". Good stuff. I will go on record, no human will reach L255.
@@TwoBlueScrewsi know you meant the quotations around "friend" as in rival, but it could also be something else..
@@Moonfishii IDC
I’ve been suffering from unfriendly rivalries for years now. From my own experience, it’s an almost pure western communities problem. I’m glad it’s still different here.
Wow, who would have thought this game could have so much depth after all those years. Changing colors, crash conditions... love the inpredictability of old games. Great video.
Not a Tetris fan, but this was a awesome documentary. The ending being a rebirth of the game and player was dope.
The community tuning into his stream to watch him break a record and cheer him on, despite trying to break it themselves, is so wholesome
His closest competitor just putting his own game away to watch.....
I mean to be fair tho like I also would rather be at my defeat than miss a world first ya know
thats most competitors luckily. Most people who are legitimately good at something arent sore losers
That's how it should be. That's what a community is meant to be.
Seeing somebody do exceptionally well at something you are passionate about is just really exciting and very motivating - even if they are competing against you.
It's so cool how the very last level is pure blood red, it gives me "final boss" vibes and it probably wasn't even intentional
It definitely wasn't intentional, because the glitched colours weren't intentional to begin with
Didn't know Bernkastel liked Tetris
@@sjn6112Yes.. we know what glitched means. They talk at length about how they are unintentional.
@@tswan137 You don't speak on our behalf.
@@tswan137 not everyone who watches scout is an avid Tetris player and people don't retain 100% of info from content they watch
This. Video. Hit. Me.
Firstly, I am an old dude, sitting here on my balcony in the sun, certainly not planning to start my day with a video dealing with beating the only game I thought is unbeatable.
Having had a NES (PAL version) with Tetris as a game by myself as a child and seeing this long-term achievement here is just unbelievable. I did not know that there is this scene out there trying to "complete" this game.
Again, humans are awesome!!
(and UA-cam algorithm is crazy!)
Competitive NES tetris is absolutely insane and there's so much going on in it, even right now. People are etching closer and closer to the genuine maximum level, 255, with only a bugged 800 line level blocking them. It's crazy to watch sometimes.
The fact that some news woman told him to touch grass. I applauded all the back lash the boys gave her afterwards
Same here. She had it coming.
(& girls! yeah I tore her a new one...)
Meaning that he should go out more? People are weird. Just acknowledge skill and accomplishment. The climbing a tree event is in the afternoon.
the nerve of that lady bro
This kid has achieved more than that woman has in her whole adult life, and he is 13.
The news lady is just salty smh
The fact the entire community was incredibly happy for him and watching him actually warms my fricken heart
Right, because it's so heartwarming to watch absolute fucking losers in arrested development support each other.
E
It was incredibly wholesome to see them all cheering him on.
Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus.
Romans 6:23
John 3:16😊😊❤❤
I'd agree with the principle. Hence why I'm a communist my friend.@@christianweatherbroadcasti3491
I love the way Scuti’s competitor was pleased for him winning. Such humility.
Yeah he was fully expecting Scutti to succeed, otheriwse you don't stop what you're doing like that. Great guy.
wrr
@@godofzombi Yeah that dude was a really cool dude despite the mental illness he has to overcome
@@Connection-Lostwhat?
That part was amazing
I don't know anything about Tetris or gaming, but I know films (I'm a film critic). This, sir, pulled me in more than any Christopher Nolan movie ever has. Excellently made and so gripping 😊
well thanks for commenting! :)
(the highest I can EVER get to is Level 8,
& he got to Level 157 very easily
& then the game froze haha)
(in the 34-year history of the game,
nobody has gotten that far as to break the game,
so, for a 13-year-old to do it is a big deal in the gaming world)
(it would be like someone outselling the Beatles in album sales in 1 day, just crazy)
Chasing an achievement is what showed us that there was absolutely no toxicity between these gamers. If people came together and worked together to chase down an achievement as great as this one, the majority of all gaming communities would feel amazing to be around. These guys all welcomed each other to succeeding, they congratulated each other, cheered each other on and hyped up one of the greatest things to ever happen. Passion on a level that cannot be touched.
Perhaps I am not interested to play these games at all, and that’s ok! But, I am appreciative of the level of positivity these lads displayed for us, and I really enjoy seeing others succeed, that, I am thankful for. We need more personalities like this everywhere. The kind of people who celebrate success together on a competitive level.
It’s crazy how young these pro classic Tetris players are getting, and they’re all getting better and better
Honestly e-sports have this privilege where most of the pro's just don't seem to stop developing. Maybe it's because of the competiveness that keeps driving the scene idk it's cool to watch though.
It seems kind of like when you are immersed in a language from birth, getting fluent in it is effortless because your brain is just living it and growing around it. Kids these days are born into technology-rich settings where getting as good as you can at a video game as a hobby is no longer seen as a "waste of time" because even some older folks know what e-sports are.
I love it. I am so stoked to see what the stable of top FPS players, speedrunners, and MOBA players looks like in the next ten to fifteen years. Tetris has felt like just the sneak preview.
@@erikeriks Honestly social media revitalised Tetris. It becoming so popular created a new wave of young people with a lot of time and very few responsibilities picking up the game and becoming obscenely good at it. I love how far the Tetris pro scene has come.
Yup. Soon there will be toddlers owning the game.
I confirm that unlike normal people, Tetris players get younger with time.
The rebirth screen being pure red is so badass
Ikr, gives real final boss vibes.
Fr, it’s the final boss in the game
And it's wild it's completely on accident.
Bur score 999999 and unchanging. Why it keeps going on when reaching the highest?
A fun coincidence since the game's original creator was from the Soviet Union.
What made me smile was that the reactions from the other people trying to get to it were cheering when they found out that he got the crash.
What a beautiful and elegant video into the Tetris scene and the accomplishment of BlueScuti! I started following the NES tetris scene literally because of this video and your channel.
Man, Fractal stopping his own run attempt to watch Scuti's was super cool, and his reaction and excitement at his rival's achievement absolutely melted me 🥹
fractal just did it yesterday!
@@octaviolopez9966I have a feeling now that it’s been done more people will slowly be able to hit the limit. I feel like the next step is progressing further up the levels, while trying to avoid the game crash triggers. Pushing for even higher level/scores
as the video said..@@coconut_in_a_suit975
@@coconut_in_a_suit975 Yeah, that's literally what the video said at the end.
@@xingor7940 well I didn’t watch he last minute or so bite me
The glitched color schemes are probably the coolest thing i’ve heard about in gaming. Dusk, and charcoal being like secret boss levels no one knew about…and the last level being full red is just so sick
Agree
Who would have thought, right?
The last level especially hit me hard, pure bloody red, this is just metal!
So true
its like a journey through Hell but you escape at the end. didnt know Tetris was this poetic
And then it leads to the rebirth and the game restarting. As if the red level is the phoenix burning red as it catches fire & is reborn
@@poptartkilla3718True
That video took me to an amazing journey to a game that I always found boring... But people battling the game's code, feels like the game is alive and finds out new ways to throw off the players!
An amazing video thanks!
What a beautiful video. Congrats to Scuti, and to the whole community who made this possible. -John
👍
Oh my gosh it’s that guy I like
The Tetris community is so wholesome.
Given how early this comment was John probably has notifications on for NES Tetris content which is just neat
I swear I see you on every tetris video. It's wholesome just how much you like Tetris lol
The way Fractal got hyped to see Scuti get it even though that meant he had lost the race was so wholesome...
At least he finished 2nd place on the race!
The achievement itself was far more than a competition at that point.
It was history being made.
@@speedymatt12362nd place is 1st loser.
@@Ten_Thousand_Locusts then you don't get the point of it at all
@@teabow. I think you don't
The way you made the storyline of this video is sheer brilliance... with the human and AI walking into the light together... congrats!
This is one of the best made videos I've watched. Great job and thank you for making this masterpiece.
I love how excited Fractal is for Scuti. They both seem like true gems as representatives of the community.
Just an FYI, Fractal also just got the crash to occur!
if you think his excitement for scuti was genuine, i got an island to sell ya!
@@SCORP1ONF1RE Bro, he had a giant grin, clapped his hands in delight, and you could hear in his voice he was genuinely happy for him. Humans are ultimately pack animals, the altruistic parts of our brain are dominant, they light up first in FMRIs, way before the greedy, self-centered parts. The NES Tetris community seem to be paragons of that. Don't let modernity poison you to the beautiful desire of humans to cheer for each other.
@@SCORP1ONF1RE quite a cynic, aren't ya
@@speedymatt1236are they tied or one for a higher score when it crashed?
The way everyone was so hype for Scuti even though they're all technically competing against him, it's super wholesome and heartwarming
That's true sportsmanship.
They already lost so
That's my favourite thing about speedrunning/record chasing, world records are often treated as a victory for the whole community.
@@PokeShadow77 You missed the point.
The true wholesome community. Nothing to get mad over other than a game over.
I just love that a kid won the chase for the true killscreen.
This really was outstanding. I’m so happy to see how they all just wanted to help each other figure this out.
The "final" level 255 having a pure red color scheme is so cosmically hilarious to me, given Tetris' origins in the Soviet Union
Somewhat coincidental indeed
thought it was rather hellish than communist
I can kinda see that.
@juxyper same difference
The game knows its in a capitalist hell hole, and it bleeds, so it won't be in it much longer....
Wow you did such a great job of explaining why this was such an achievement and what the future holds I’m genuinely in this now
Frankly, I never liked Tetris, but to see people so involved in it just makes me happy, especially when you see how one record-hunter seems to be genuinely happy for another who just beat him to it. Sportsmanship, great skills, evolving technique, people collecting and sharing in-depth data, people making mods to increase the challenge even further...turns out Tetris has it all and it warmed my heart to learn about all these things. Thanks for making this video and putting a smile on my face over a game I never even liked to play!
I dont know why, but somehow all tetris fans seem so genuine and wholesome
Probably because it’s good for your mental health! No really, look it up
Tetris effect, other games do it to me lol
Because there's no characters to ships
No alternate universe
Not competative ( I'm not counting the speedrun )
No cringe fanbase
Everyone just trying to get better in game and nothing
Right? Like everyone competing was stoked when he crashed the game.
The part where everyone, including other tetris players were watching the kid beat it was so wholesome lmao
The thing I love the most about the community is how people are supportive, instead of competitive. Sure, they both went for the record of being the first one to crash, but when Blue won, there wasn’t animosity. There was celebration that it was achieved
Speedrun communities are like this too. It's all very wholesome.
Guitar Hero same idea
This tends to happen in any competition where excelling does not mean your opponent does poorly. Generally things where you compete against yourself and compare to another person. Tetris, speed running, pinball, and competitive board breaking are all very wholesome scenes where the other guy wants to win, but also wants to see you break the record.
@@inthefade Yup. There's a reason why it's very looked down upon to develop techniques in secret then suddenly drop a world record. Speedrunning is about collaboration, not glory.
I think that is mostly because people know how hard it is to grind that far into the game
Man, I'm so happy for Scuti. He seems like such a genuine and down to earth person, all the best
I wanted to know more info about this so thanks for making this video this is the first time watching you but you seem like a good youtuber so keep up the good work
Seeing a kid beat the odds and defeat the unbeatable is the essence of video gaming.
Totally! I'd love to see him play some older Tetris champs! It was a young kid who invented the technique too! So awesome.
The Wizard
a kid has more chance to do a reflexes-based challenge, LoL pro-players are inhumane, until they reach 25 years old and from that they start retiring due to lacking reflexes
its always a kid. adults set the base to competition and sometimes maybe decades later the kids take over with their superior reflexes and sponge-like learning
depneds on the game though
Watching Fractal get so hyped watching Scuti succeed was so wholesome I legit teared up man
Same
Same, that was unforced sportsmanship.
damn real tears.
imagine if you had a real life with friends and shit actually happening to you. thatd be CRAZY
@@itchiegamesproject much? Considering you have a gaming channel, your comments reek of jealousy. Maybe take a cue from Fractal and support your fellow gamers when they achieve a goal instead of rushing to tear them down to try and feel better about yourself.
@@itchiegames So you think, they are just pictures on your screen? Do you know how videos work? People get recorded by other people. So all of these moving pictures are pictures of actual human beings that are very good at something. Can you imagine that? If you can, try it too sometime, it might bring you joy. :)
He achieved one of the biggest achivements in gaming history. GGWP on him.
Also I love that there are 3 endings.
The OG Killscreen aka the bad ending
The True Killscreen aka the Good Ending
and the Best ending: the Rebirth or Reincarnation screen
Just amazing. What a community effort. Well done BlueScuti🎉
The Tetris community just seems really wholesome. Everyone seems to be rooting for each other.
That's what healthy competition looks like. You want to be the best, but you also want to see someone else succeed where you failed.
True.
@@ArtisChroniclesdefinitely!!! Gotta love good sportsmanship.
Tbf, there's nothing competitive about Tetris. It's one of those games where you compete against yourself.
That's what we call the nerd community. Happy with progress.
I love how friendly this community looks, when someone is beaten in a competition, they don't break down or freak out, they congratulate the winner and are genuinely happy to see someone else take the game further. I wish more communities were like that.
True Sportsmanship.
FAKE RECORDDDDD
something the ssb community needs to learn…
Not true, MANY people freaked out and broke down. People were NOT happy.
@@Sl1pperybastard Oh, well that's not really surprising. From what was shown here it looked like a pretty wholesome community.
This video is top quality in every way, I fully watch it like twice, just because I enjoyed the way it was paged out
I just heard of this stuff. I never knew tetris is such a big thing. I had no idea all of this was happening. This video informed me, got me on the edge of my seat and made me feel way more than I expected
Fractal's happiness at Scuti reaching the true kill screen is peak human wholesomeness - while going for that goal of being the first to reach it, his humility won over to truly, genuinely appreciate seeing his rival beat it first. Fractal didn't lose. He succeeded in seeing the kill screen with Scuti. Mad respect for the tetris community as a whole thanks to that one moment in this video.
11:31 literally the moment my heart - which was never all that small I like to think - grew three sizes.
And in the end fractal was part of it! He pushed Scuti into going there too in the end. The true beauty of competition and pushing each other as humans further!
Great sportsmanship always makes a sport better! 👏
I rly like the color glitching levels towards the "end" makes them feel like a mysterious "area" or "section" of the game that essentially just consist of silly blocks
its like going into hell or something
It feels like it’s actually part of the game somehow
Reminds me of Minecraft's farlands
Wow! That's an amazing achievement ! Not an easy feat, there's a lot of complex arithmetic involved! Congratulations!
I haven't played NES since the mid 90's.... I have no idea there is still a avid community and competitive scene for OG NES tetris. This is so awesome and heart warming. welldone Son!
The Rebirth Run will be the most exciting and terrifying run ever.
Also known as the end of a game loop.
I'd also think it would be an insane endurance test, I mean how much time would it take to actually even reach level 255 to begin with?
@@zufieusagi7509and dodge all the "traps" that crash the game. It is almost like a pacifist mode, where as crashing the game is like "murdering" the game.
Got the rebirth… now what?
Double re-birth run. Let’s go!
I think it will be a while before people get that far. They have to clear another hundred levels under increasingly difficult restrictions, plus 800 lines on level 235. Some of the restrictions look really difficult to pull off individually, let alone stringing a hundred of them together into a single run. Someday, though.
Can we all appreciate that this nerd-scene is a very healthy scene? They get happy for each other, not jealous when their opponents succed. I think it is amazingly sweet and I am happy that it is a kid who are the OG in the Tetris scene.
speedrun and arcade scene are all like that
@@danielpaulo2119 It's like the opposite of the fighting scene then
I have played tetris maybe once or twice in my life but i never knew or even thought that things could go this far! This was super interesting! I never thought i could get so hyped over tetris! Congrats to Scuti!! He deserves it!!
I love that they show support for each other instead of bashing and being bitter towards each other.... Great sportsmanship.... Like they were actually rooting for each other and happy to see that the game level had been achieved rather than who achieved it.... Well done you two
I hadn't seen Fractal's realtime reaction before this video. The level of sportsmanship he shows in his genuine excitement for Scuti's accomplishment in that moment is so incredible to see. What an awesome person!
Hello, are you saved by Christ yet?
Literally made me tear up!
@@Br.Kevin1 Odd question in this context.
@@Br.Kevin1Hello, are you saved by Scuti yet?
@@j.a.melton2757 What is your answer to it?
11:31 seeing everyone so happy for him is refreshing, even his rival. It's so nice to see sportsmanship like this :)
Truly, it brings joy to even us viewers.
That's because there really are no rivals in attempting to push a game to its limits. It is a MASSIVE community effort, Scuti is simply the one that made that one final push to finally getting the killscreen.
Not to diminish his achievement, though - it is _insanely_ impressive. I just wanted to point out that this wasn't a competition to see who could beat the game first, but a huge collaborative effort to try to even beat the game in the first place
@@bruhbrehii true that, it did to me :)
This level of sportsmanship should always be protected.
True warriors respect eachother and the game they play, even if its war.
I love the humility shown by the rival top player!!! Christian author CS Lewis wrote (I'm paraphrasing badly) that true humility is about being able to appreciate your own accomplishments and the accomplishments of others without any special preference for either one.
that ending was TRUELY inspirational, brought a tear to my eye, great video!
I'm super proud of this kid. His Tetris play is out of this world. He had recently lost his dad, too. So I can only imagine the mourning he's probably still going through when he pulled off this feat. What a talented young man.
Man that sucks, losing his dad. Glad it was him. I hope he puts just as much effort into school.
:( Aw that's awful. His dad would certainly be proud of him :)
Speaking from experience; Those moments in a game when you just get to be in the present, letting go of everything, even sorrow. It's such a great way to zone out for a moment, when you feel the need
Fun fact: Playing Tetris right after a traumatic event is factually proven to drastically reduce the likelyhood of developing further trauma/ptsd from the event.
And if you think this comment is a joke/lie, it’s not, and yes I’m genuinely as surprised as you are lol. 😅
@@MrMelonszyeah, it's within a half-hour to an hour or so of a traumatic event, I think, before your short-term memory starts offloading to long-term; unfortunately, that's not a very large window of time, so its clinical adoption is therefore somewhat dubious, I believe, but it's a very neat discovery.
The thing I love the most about this is how genuinely happy the rest of the community is with him doing it. Congrats to Blue Scuti and all the other badass Tetris players who have kept this game alive.
Tetris community, modern and classic, are really friendly and supportive
Only problem is that he can't put his initials on the high score board... so he will be forgotten...

The end gived me much feelings, never thought that tertis comes so far in depth
Thank you❤
This was some next level needy stuff and I'm all for it. Amazing video!
11:33 Speedrunner are so wholesome. They are so happy for him to get the screen instead of being salty. This is so amazing
I was coming down here to say this. Made me smile for sure.
At the end of the day, these kinds of competitions are primarily about personal improvement, rather than direct competition. The only way to get good at this kind of thing is to set your number one opponent as YOURSELF. You see this in traditional sports at the highest level as well, like running and swimming. There's a famous video of someone who just set a world record in swimming look up at the board, see that the swimmer in the lane next to him set a personal best, and celebrated their improvement as well.
Great video, kept answering the questions I had while watching and was so wholesome
Gamers🗿
Got butterflies 🤭
Beautiful. The original killscreen trying to beat the player, the true killscreen when the player triggers the game crash, and the rebirth screen when no one trying to kill each other and go beyond together is, once again, simply beautiful. What a game.
It's also symbolic that the last level right before the rebirth screen turns to pure crimson red. Sort of feels otherworldly/heavenly to me like once you pass through this last level on a real NES a portal will open up to somewhere. Heck maybe a tetris genie will pop out and grant you 3 wishes.
@@jackdempsey6349 😂
@@jackdempsey6349 But you can only wish for three specific blocks in your next Tetris run :D
Plus if you’ve ever seen anyone give birth there is often a lot of blood. Just saying.
The video was great in explaining the aspects of the record, which helped me understand the reason why this was a milestone for a very old game. To me though, it's like someone achieving a speed dial record on a rotary phone...
Absolute respect to this kid and may his father rest in peace
The fact the game straight up turns fully blood-red and then proceeds to reset is just the kind of scary thing you actually CANNOT make up. For real that shit made me SHIVER
Creepypasta energy. No one could make it more spooky than it being real though.
Things like that were quite common on the ZX Spectrum and C64, C16. Some of those game ending screens were the creepiest things and it could be a game where your just moving a square over holes.
maybe because in the RGB color pattern, the red is 0,and maybe it worked with rgb colors so the cubes couldn't even change colors
Poetic
I literally felt the same thing...👻 🖥️
I really like the idea that working together, you get the “true” ending of Tetris
Henlo Bendy
Perhaps the "true killscreen" was the friends we made along the way 😊
Yo Scuti, on behalf of the danish Tetris community that some people i know is a part of, i want to congratulate you on your December win. By the responses some of my old gamer friends had im glad I wasn't at the arcade that my mate owns because the noise would have been insane.. But everyone that has dabbled in gaming since the late 80's and early 90s knows where your joy came from. We've all been there.. Im not on my friends level, but I still remember how I felt when beating my Wolverine game on my PS3. It was insane. And i used to have a Tetris and Pong clone on my Amiga 600 so i remember the old 8 bit games too. Cant. Wait to see what you'll do next regarding Tetris. Cheers from Denmark. 😏
This is so poetic and I don't even know why. As many others have pointed out, this has to be one of the best videos in the history of UA-cam. Really really well done.
Can we talk about how endearing it is that Fractal reacted with genuine joy when Scuti got the crash? I love competitive people that more excited by the community's achievement than they are concerned to be the one doing the achieving.
I love the wholesome competitiveness of this community. Everyone is competitive, but when someone reaches a goal, they all seem supportive of it.
Hello, are you saved by Christ yet?
Most old speedrun communities are like this, it's not really about being the best, it's moreso love for the game, and digging as deep as everyone can!
Boom tetris for jeff!
Really well documented. Serious video. Quality contents like this must be reference.
This was a well put video Ive never been into Tetris because Im not the brightest tool in the shed but this was so entertaining.
There's something so poetic about the fact that the last possible level is pure red. It's likely a complete coincidence but it's just such a fitting capstone on what has become such a big challenge.
I don't know the history of the term "hell level" in games, where it first came up, but yeah, it's like Tetris ends in hell, and if you beat it, you're reborn... It's mythical.
Not sure I like being born into a neverending Tetris game, but that's another matter.
Honestly, most of us won't play an hour of Tetris, let alone 3-5 hours a day, so the story is a bit odd from this perspective - it's like climbing Everest - we're all impressed, but left wondering why...
I guess it's just because we can - set a mind to a goal, take that journey, and see it happen - it's magical.
@@stephenmontague6930as long as there people resilient enough to push the limist, we will always find new horizons.
It really feels like a fighting sports anime arc. The protagonist starts in the village, wrestling against increasingly difficult local wrestlers. Then the protagonist gets invited to a tournament to fight against pro wrestlers. Then the tournament gets infiltrated by forces of evil. Shady individuals with strange powers are challenging our protagonist. Two of them, nicknamed "Dusk" and "Charcoal" serve as mini-bosses that give the protagonist particularly hard time. Then after a few more battles the final boss appears: "Crimson Demon" (I don't know what it's called, I'm just guessing it's a really cool name) And after finally defeating the final boss and earning the champion's title, the protagonist can go back to his village, where he wrestles some kids for fun.
Stop animefying everything in life.
@@B3RyL you just described a Hero's Journey. A storytelling formula that simply worked for millennia.
This is utterly insane and there's no way Alexey Pajitnov could have eve predicted this is where Tetris would be after over 3 decades. I am genuinely excited to see who will be the first madlad to reach total rebirth and truly finish Tetris! Amazing as always, aGameScout!
He's still alive. There's a decent chance he saw that stream.
@@bensmith3890 I hope he did. What OP said still stands though. He could've never predicted this in his wildest dreams (nor did he probably even know about the true kill screen).
Tetris - New Game+
He wanted it loved and he got it.
In the Tetris movie , one KGB official says that Tetris almost made Soviet Union to collapse, because all the public workers were addicted playing Tetris game 😂
08:04 This guy's scary face still haunts me in my nightmares ...
Love the music by HOME :) amazing video!
and here i am getting choked up over a game i haven't played since i was a kid. amazing video.
I never expected a Tetris documentary styled video to be so interesting and so entertaining. Amazing video
I didn't think I'd end up watching the whole thing. But it was a well made and interesting video!
I was planning to use this as my background music to help me sleep expecting it to be a documentary.... instead i lost 17min of my sleep to how interesting it is.... hehehehe
It's funny how Tetris is one of the most basic games there is, but has such a rich story behind it, from their creation, to their playerbase and it's impact on videogames.
I knew nothing about the Tetris community before watching this. The last couple minutes gave me chills. What a story.
I didn't know either. I still don't know how it's played! I'm such a dolt.
@@davidhunternyc1"I'm such a dolt🥰" lmao
I too didn't know anything about the Tetris community before watching this. But it did not give me chills, I still find it pretty boring.
I really can't enjoy speed run things. It requires loads of time and effort just to achieve something that in most cases doesn't provide anything concrete.
@@webrevolution. Every person has fun in their own way. If you find something boring it doesn't mean other people find it boring as well. I don't find Tetris interesting either. But I find anything about Minecraft interesting. Just like how a guy that likes football finds anything about football interesting. It's all about your interests tbh.
@@nightxrage2957 I think the first part of your message is pretty useless. I did not need to be reminded people have different interests. It's obvious and I did not say that everyone should think the same way I do. I just talked about myself personally and I am fine even if most other people don't feel the same.
Anyways what I was arguing is that speed running this game does not provide with anything concrete or positive that I personally know of. So yeah, same goes for watching football, it's not that I find that any better than this Tetris thing. But at least there is a difference with football cause if you practice it then you actually improve physically in ways that are measurable. Your body does change in a positive way. It's not the same for Tetris, where playing or watching is pretty much the same level of usefulness, which is low imho.
This was brilliant. Human and machine coming together in the end. So poetic.
I am a 52 year old man. This was in my feed for whatever reason and I don’t even play computer games. But I watched it to the end with great delight :)
That description of the Rebirth Screen is surprisingly philosophical and inspiring.
and one of several ways to look at it
Lmao 💀
World Peace will be established once a human can reach the Rebirth Screen.
The meaning of life will be revealed and suffering will end.
this was excellent; love the name, Rebirth Screen
Yooo Leonhart
Yo hi!
In Norway, beating a video game is called «rounding» it, probably because in many early games you went back to the start, for example in super mario. It seems like the true beating of tetris is indeed rounding it
Leonhart!!!!!!
@@RepentandbelieveinJesusChrist5 I don't know if your realize this, but you're pushing people away from your religion by trying to spread it in completely irrelevant comment sections. It's very annoying, please stop.
It’s absolutely nice to know that these guys can beat the game. I didn’t even know you could beat the game. I thought it might be possible, but I didn’t know you could glitch it out so it’s nice to know, but I’m not quick enough for that. I wish I was, I’m happy to know that they are people who actually beat that game and I commend you for taking it to that level of play
loved this video. Congrats Blue Scuti!
This shit is epic. True Killscreen is an amazing phrase and a blood red final screen leading to rebirth is legendary.
Seriously -- it's so poetic it almost feels scripted.
I loved the stickman walking into the sunset with the T 🤣
"Epic" "Amazing" "Legendary"
We have really watered down the language to be almost meaningless, haven't we?
@@kev3d rewrite his sentiment but do the English more gooder
@@kev3d Alas, as an opportunity of the great chance of the ages I would sincerely and dearly like to make it harked to thy, dear sir, that, in these modern times we tend to divulge ourselves in oh so often, we just don't talk like freakin' Shakespeare anymore, now, do we, or what?!
Fractal's reaction to bluescuti's crash was actually so heart warming. I didnt expect him to be excited
my guess is that every speedrunner knows that what they do is due to the collective effort/knowledge of their community. Like when one speedrunner figures out a trick, they freely explain it to everyone else.
oh I LOVE how supportive the community seem to be towards each other's accomplishments!
Great video. Thanks for this! 👍
It makes me smile that they are all so happy for each other. This is a great video.
A gaming community that isn't toxic lol
None of them are working against each other. They're all working against Tetris. Beautiful stuff.
Bro watching how happy and excited bro got when he crashed the game induced such a feeling of joy, I genuinely got goosebumps
I never thought I'd care about Tetris so much but you made it happen. Well done and thank you!
The year is 2047.
It's the CTWC quarter finals.
All of the competitors are 11 years old.
TV one is hosting the fierce clash between Competitor A who has crash-dodged successfully to R1 (Rebirth one) and Competitor B, who, in a tragic twist of events, hit a Triple on level 252 causing him to TKS with a slight lead, sure to be lost.
TV two features two of the fiercest competitors, both on R2.
Chris Tang has tragically lost his voice over the 7 hours of quarter-final play and must resort to a button that shouts, "BOOM, Tetris" whenever he presses it
Fractal actually stopping and watching and his reaction to the win... thats so wholesome to see
Hello, are you saved by Christ yet?
Amazing video. Congrats on the well deserved 10M
The fact I don’t even play Tetris or keep up with the world record but seeing scuti getting the crash and the excitement from everyone warmed my heart.
With the speed this scene moves I'm expecting the "rebirth screen" to be reached by some unknown 11 year old within a couple months.
Cant wait for someone to reach double rebirth screen a month after that.
What is a rebirth screen exactly
Nvm I finished the video
@@theneverwatcher9860Well, that makes your username ironic. XD
@@SilverFlame819 YOU GET IT NOT, KNAVE
IT IS FOR MY VIEWERS!!!!!1!!!1!?/1//!Ye672
Even though it seems inconceivable due to the sheer endurance it would take, doesn't the "Rebirth" screen imply that there will always be a new milestone by the possibility of reaching the previous milestones twice over? Or does the game crash when it reaches the rebirth screen?
Edit: Beautiful video, excellent storytelling, visuals, sound and editing. This made me so happy to see a gaming community I didn't even realize existed thrive like never before. And such great sportsmanship and camaraderie.
pixelAndys reaction was really cool to see! he was huble, and stoked for him! what a cool vid!
