    I just realized, every major Tetris milestone has first been achieved by someone who wasn’t the favorite to get it at the time:
    -After winning CTWC 2023, Fractal started grinding to be the first person to crash the game, but then Blue Scuti jumped in & beat him to it.
    -Then, during the first to 10 million competition, Alex T suddenly shatters every single record after perfecting his rolling technique and firmly establishes himself as the best current player in the scene
    -But when Alex T tries to grind for Rebirth he doesn’t get it…and then several months later, Dog comes out of nowhere and actually manages to pull it off.
    Congratulations man!!!

    That you then went on so far past level 29 (285! I think) the second time round up to L91 (347?), just blew my mind. There was a non-zero chance of you completing it twice!

      @@enzgaming_123 This is already a patched version preventing the crashes starting at L157 and displaying things like line counts, not part of the original ROM. Using letters is mostly it because there is no space spare in the code to deal with wrapping or extending / moving where the numbers are printed by column. That logic would take a significant number of op codes. But given it's incrementing characters up past Z, I would logically assume it to move through ASCII.

    People don't realise just how monumental this achievement is. I truly, sincerely believe that in 10 years time, the community will look back as the moment this game changed forever.
    For so many years, before roll tapping, tetris was considered unbeatable, endless only in the sense that one couldn't keep up with the sheer speed.
    Then hypertapping gave people a push into the higher levels, and rolltapping brought us into the glitches colours. And, for a shining window of time, Tetris was considered beatable.
    Alex Thatch's accomplishment to get the killscreen cannot be overstated. It was as close as anyone could ever get to 'beating' tetris. The mainstream outlets cheered.
    But we knew better. We always knew this day was coming. Now, for the depths of the glitched levels, the green purgatory, and the rebirth.
    This was the final milestone, the final great hurdle to overcome. There are no more stages of play. For a shining period of time, we nievely thought that Tetris had an end. But now, from this day forth, this game can once again truly be considered endless. From this day forth, there is no more upper limit, no more final level. There's only the boundless sky.
    Maybe one day people will get 2 rebirths, or maybe even more than that. And we will look back on this day as the day Tetris was finally brought into its fullest potential, finally given its true form.
    But, for today, we celebrate the day that the game has truly been unlocked, all your hard work and effort, all the support and work of the community and those tetris legends that came before. From the bottoms of all our hearts, well done dog, you deserve all the praise and admiration coming your way ❤

    1:21:25 HE’s DONE IT!! THE FIRST EVER REBIRTH IN NES TETRIS HISTORY!!!!!!!!
    Dog, you have done it! You have achieved history as the first person to complete Rebirth in the Nintendo Entertainment System version of Tetris!
    Your competitors; who include Blue Scuti, who achieved the first ever Game Crash in honor of his father (RIP), Fractal, the second game crash, PixelAndy, the third game crash, Myles & Tristop, both of whom have ALSO crashed the game, and finally we have the CTWC 2024 Champion, Alex Thach, who not only crashed the game TWICE and achieved a UNOFFICIAL rebirth, but also shattered all the previous records and is the person who you NARROWLY lost out to, so they’ll all be SO PROUD of your win.
    You see, when I played Tetris - and it WASNT the NES version as I was too young for it, I recall it being either the EA app or Blitz (which was loaded with pay-to-win) - I believe normally couldn’t even make it to level 4.
    I also had a handheld game called “Lightning Tetris.” I believe it was unlicensed! I got scared to play it because it was apparently broken. Need to fix the batteries on it.
    However, YOU start at level 18 and play at faster speeds than I can, especially with your fast paced “hyper tapping” and “rolling” skills, which were put to the test against each other in 2021-22!
    Michael Khanh, congratulations on your victory! We wish you all the best in your futures! (May want to listen to your music.)
