YOOOO! Amazing video! Watched whole thing through my bed! I will make sure to have you make another video but this time, I will get rebirth!
Hope you will we will be all rooting for you to get the rebirth
Edit: 400 likes I have never gotten this much before
Your my sigma alex
Yeah you will!
Bro ur a living legend
Alex you are 100% one of the best NES Tetris players in history
Bro got told his 9.9 million didn't count and proceeded to demolish the entire NES Tetris record list.
This sh*t is too easy for him loool
the biggest "oh yeah?" in gaming history
@@solidus4prez that was fucking day *one* of his grindset
"DEMOLISHER!"
From 9.9 to 16.2 and 16.7 is a pretty huge jump
This kid went through a full anime arc consisting of a rise, a fall, learning new techniques, innovation, “flashbacks” (reciting others), overcoming obstacles, a secondary fall, celebration, an after story, cliffhanger for a season 2, and supporting characters.

Underrated comment
It's moments like this that makes internet such a great thing.
A 1984 game and having such a wholesome community and all.
You mean supportive
Literally 1984
Ikr
Fractal is the final boss who's also the supportive big brother.
Sidnev is the real final boss.
True dat
Goddam, your funny real funny, you oughta be. Comedian.
@@Eyess6766 💀💩☠️
@@duongyeetyboi2609 Thanks it’s a joke between me and him (since I know him irl)
Hearing Alex T quote Tetris greats, as he gets a higher and higher level count, and watching Fractal just laugh is too hilarious
Anime moments XD
@@jackowsky86Seriously, this whole thing was just straight from an anime!
People may criticise Alex's world records for "not being legit" but no matter how many they invalidate, Alex still has a win-win situation in his hands. That is even the worst-case scenario. Joseph Saelee, Cheez, BlueScuti, Alex. The trend of young Tetris players breaching previously-cemented limits is going stronger than ever.
I fully loved it! It felt poetic and just bought more hype! That, and it felt like a surreal yet completely genuine show of respect! It felt like he was standing on the shoulders of giants, and he wanted you to know who they were
@@JediJess1i know it makes me cry actually so beautiful
Amazing narration / script writing / music integration. You are a talented videomaker!
ISH?????? HELLO THERE LOL
LOVE YOUR VIDS
ish???
Pls tell me ish is now a Tetris fan
HI ISH!!
Why did i just watch a 40 minute video essay on NES tetris, and why did i enjoy it?
Huge shout-out to the real MVP who unlocked Alex's full power:
THE GLOVE
If we argued that Tetris skills were exponentially increasing in the first few years since Joseph Saelee was in power as the ruling champion,
we can now argue that Tetris skills are increasing tetrationally. It's very difficult to see progression as fast as this.
@@probium2832 i swear someone bouta get 8 rebirths and would get more but they fell asleep
this one did fit
@@atomicaxiom7573 hey that's another way to die in tetris!!
yes, the hypertapping, rolling, and the gloves.. amazing discoveries. will night-vision glasses let us see the weird dark colours better? but well that might be considered as cheating..? or unless it's considered as another category lol. or will night-vision don't help at all? idk, just wondering in my own stupidity
lol the terrifying mood change when discovering 800 lines was greeeen
I mean... it very much is a terror. o.o
To me the greeeeeen level looks reasonably easy to see on my monitor...I guess it looks different via CRT?
By contrast, the dusk looks terrifyingly murky, yet Alex was cool with it!
I would prefer 800+ lines of green over the black/greys...not that I would be able to personally reach that :)
@@BlueSpaceLizard It's probably also different how you have to watch the screen when playing it vs. spectating, he needs to glance over at the next piece box, which is dark green on black inside a white outline
@@BlueSpaceLizard yeah, greeeeen is rather dark on a CRT. I remember Eric showing in the video about the challenges to get to rebirth, him brightening the screen on Dusk, and the green parts were nearly invisible until he brightened the screen. I'd imagine that green on that greeeeen would be pretty hard to see.
A 16-year-old beats Jonas Neubauer
A 16-year-old teaches you rolling
A 13-year-old crashes the game
A 15-year-old breaks every world record
You can never stop the compassion of the young.
Another thing I love about this community is everyone is so supportive of one another and encourages others to break their records with no bitterness or jealousy whatsoever. Truly an incredible community and I am happy to be part of it as a fan even though I do not currently play Tetris. Just a pleasure to be around so many great people who are making this community grow and thrive more and more each day. Thanks to all of you!
I’ve heard this sort of sentiment a million times over the past many years, and it continues to be true. It’s astounding to me that a community could be that wholesome and tight knit, even with entirely new players rising to the top, but here we are.
The spirit of Jonas lives on
@@nattoeater988 RIP Jonas, LYMYMI
18:57 "Eyes, wide, open!"
You don't even need to be a fan of Tetris or competitive gaming (of which I am neither, so this is sound speaking) to appreciate how great this world of competitive Tetis is, thanks to the structure of this video.
I absolutely love how the two top rivals, are more star-crossed best friends that are geographically stretched, rather than the aggressive stigma associated with the term, "rivals".
Look at the one way the one champion pauses his game to check on his competition. Then has a giddy laugh of pride one has for a little brother, when his "eyes wide open" quote is rechanted.
I just absolutely love it! 😁
37:20 "We call this summoning Satan"
"I like it"
Most chill cult initiation
They might call it “Summoning Satan”, but I call it “Summoning Inbachi” knowing what humanity has been through in gaming.
I would join a Tetris cult ngl
@@ramsescampollo2506 what do they do
Not long before they call it summoning salt
@@Mediocre_Soup reject the new Tetris (SNES) because it's sacrilege
"such a moment is cause for celebration, so Alex T starts chugging parmesan cheese and pouring it on his head" stellar commentary LOL
Don’t forget the cleaning it with shampoo before his milk shower.😂
I'm surprised I had to scroll so far down to see a comment about that celebration. My 17 year old saw it and said, "kids." Even he didn't understand it. Heck of a story. Sky's the limit and seems like a short time before rebirth.

my brother said he was going to say this before his AP test lol
32:30 "joking around has been soothing my nerves"
not taking things too seriously and just having fun once again proves to help mental health greatly
there's wisdom in that
29:20 The cinematic shot of "Greeeeen" is rightfully horrifying
This is it, we’re in the belly of the beast now.

A little fun fact. The official classic tetris twitch channel was streaming a match at the time and one of the players playing heard what Alex was doing and topped out intentionally throwing a game away so everyone could watch Alex. Probably one of my most memorable moments (the person was me btw lol)
How selfless. Was it the original 16 million game? If so then little did everyone know. I remember when alex posted the new record just after scout posted a video. And just when scout was well on his way to finishing the video Alex decided to break not one, but TWO- wait not even two. SEVEN WORLD RECORDS. Well seven at minimum.
@@probium2832 yeah it was the original
@@lapislazuli4288Link to the stream or at least a timestamp please?
What an absolute legend ❤
'the person was me btw' lmao, this is how everyone should boast from now on!
I didn't think I'd sit through a 40 minute video document of tetris but here I am.
Great video, amazing presentation, and awesome delivery!!
Everyone mentioned in that video is amazing!
this is such a crazy era for classic tetris bro, what is going on. i've never heard about the whole scene until your video on the super killscreen, and the highlights now are getting insane. GOOD JOB ALEX T
You don't understand. Now that people have access to artificial intelligence they're just cheating and you haven't caught on. There's all new tools for cheating that have popped up at the same time as the public getting AI. It will take a while for youtube to expose that too.
Him quoting the ones to go before him really makes this. The kids a legend and gave the moment the respect it needed 😂
Specially when he started chugging Parmesan cheese
@@Felipera_that and hes funny af. 😂
Fanboying over his favorite sport fr.
@@ninjaydes Considering how many times you have to move your hands at near inhuman speeds, I think this might actually qualify for a sport, at least as much as cheerleading is a sport, oh wait.
yeah
Gotta give massive props to Fractal for being genuinely excited for his friend and probably rival to get to the 10 million score before him. He seemed sincerely proud and that's not something most competitors share
I don't know who these guys are, but that was the first thing I noticed.
If this is the attitude of top players then this will inspire the community to be wholesome and good sports
This is different from sports and other types of competition. They are competing but are also learning from and supporting each other. Techniques and insights are often shared and improved upon.
Fractal did that for several other Tetris greats like blue scuti when scuti beat him. Dude is just chill like that. Already a legend, got nothing to prove.
I'm not Tetris guy, never was, don't think I'll ever be, but you lot are a tight knit community of people devoted to competing on you beloved game and that is wonderful to see.
I salute you.
It's too bad Jonas isn't here to see all of this. Personally, he was a huge spark to all of this Tetris flame that continues to keep burning brighter. I am stunned to witness the insane feats that have been achieved since the Tetris tournament began. The Tetris story from the beginning to present day is just absolutely stunning from birth in Russia all those years ago to now. Can't wait to see what else is in store for the legendary saga of Tetris and all those who continue to shatter expectations. RIP Jonas. Great video!
He really is. He inspired others to find new methods to beat him...and the hyper tapping and then that was pushed further and now it's just crazy.
Love how you took the time to explain all the inside references within the Tetris community. Really highlights how alive their community is. And what an amazing story. Alex is in the zone.
ikr
Indeed, I never watched or played this particular version of Tetris. It was very enjoyable and immersive watching this despite never taking part of it
I keep worrying that Mom's going to barge in and say, "Go unload the groceries RIGHT NOW!".
😂
He must keep a sock on his doorknob for moments like this

@Repent-and-trust-in-the-LORD when you put it in the comment section here it just looks like youre preaching about Alex T and thats really funny i think
@@nethowarrior3294 Otherwise, what's the point?
I don't understand why stories of a game of clearing out four lines make me emotional. This game is something else.
I'm 39 years old, grew up on NES, original Game Boy, Sega Genesis etc. I cannot express how much joy it brings me to see the youngest generation experiencing so much joy on such an old system just like we did when we were kids back in the day when it was the modern hardware. Can't wait to see what comes next in the Tetris saga!
fractal laughing at alex saying eyes wide open while he was doing his run was peak comedy too LMAO
carrrrrrr
wrr
It was wholesome but I'm sad for you if it's comedy to you
@@i-am-the-slime ?
@@i-am-the-slime what is comedy to you?
The competition is fierce, but at the same time so supportive and encouraging.
They genuinely want to see each other push the limits of what's possible.
This is peak sportsmanship.
I've heard people say that Mario 64's community, where many players only go for records to prevent specific other players from getting them, a good thing because it's "encouraging competition." This proves that's all nonsense. The healthiest community is the one where everyone is motivated to play and support each other, because it's the record that matters, not the person who gets it.
Probably the best gaming community I have ever been in.
Haven't met a single person who's known as an abuser in the Tetris community either. No, Jayne Secker doesn't count, you'd be a lot worse than her to be a genuine abuser. Worst sportmanship I've ever seen here is merely a pout and not threatening to attack the other person.
@@probium2832 ...Jayne Secker? who's that?
@@alecrutz6979 the closest Tetris equivalent to THIS FATHER DIED BECAUSE I MAKE BANGER CONTENT
@@alecrutz6979 sky news presenter; while covering Blue Scuti's story she made some comments that were at best ignorant of the gaming community
I dont know why this video popped up on my feed but I was also hooked for the whole video...as someone who has played Tetris (probably the original and its been like 30 years lol), I had no idea this was such a big community. I still dont understand the rolling action lol. But wow, well done to Alex T and his amazing records. I was impressed he could talk and play so well at the same time, and how he dealt with the poor visbility of charcoal and green. Feel like he shoukd have won more than $2.6k (or however much he won). You did a great job on this video btw! ❤
Rolling is just drumming your fingers on the back of the controller. Instead of pushing the button on the front, you hover your finger over the button (dpad) and push the controller into the button by drumming your fingers on the controller.
This is done because using 4 fingers instead of one is faster. Using the back of the controller is easier than trying to drum fingers over the dpad.
it's what they do so you can't tell they're not the one pressing the buttons.
I didn't know Tetris has such a wholesome community, yet alone I didn't know this game has so much going on
I love how genuinely supportive the whole Tetris Community gets for one another. Fractal is like everyones older brother. It's so wholesome
the little comics had me DEAD omg who is drawing these 😭😭
Same😭
scout
it’s scout og style from 2018 come back to life
Penguniz0 should start covering NES Tetris again soon after that fucking Sky News host.
*This is the greatest Tetris player of All Time*
fr 😭
Been watching this series of Tetris videos since the Saelee days in 2019 and I still stick around for it all, even the parts I’ve heard a million times. Awesome videos, Scout!
Now I can’t wait for Alex T to reach level 255. Trust he will achieve this. Even his commentary is entertaining. Much respect
The first time I was in VC with Alex Thach, he heard an ice cream truck outside, so while staying in vc and with his camera on, he ran outside with a five dollar bill, bought an ice cream cone, and ran back inside. Truly a master of all arts, a mega master you could say.
[UPDATE: 900 likes, how fun, so I give you guys yet another Alex Thach VC story. So I was doing a challenge where I spent one week in the CTM Discord vc, It was like day three or four of the challenge and it was me with like three other people. And then Alex came into the vc to play some games and hangout. The two games that he played in VC were the back to back crashes.]
hes got the skill of a grandmaster, but will not hesitate to let his inner child out
Whats his discord?
LOL
trully world champion behaviour 😎
true
I loved alex's attitude throughout the whole game, and the complete lack of seriousness. I am so glad you captured that both explicitly and with subtle editorial decisions, you really have grown as a filmmaker. A fitting piece on an amazing month of Tetris.
We moved like molasses in world record progression for decades. Starting from 2018 we worked our way up the ladder and the more recent world records have been quite crazy to say the least. But now the ground shakes, the CRTs switch off just before falling. The couches overturn.
2009 - 1 million
2016 - 1.2 million
2020 - 1.4 million
2024Q1 - 16 million. That's right, I removed the dot inbetween. It's that fucking impressive.
It's honestly a breath of fresh air since most speed-running/ score-hunting videos are very serious feeling. His attitude is so powerful!
To be fair, keeping relaxed IS crucial for marathons like this.
Congratulations, your video is great, really enjoyed your narration. I was aware of the world of competitive Tetris but I didn't know it's resurgence was so little ago so it was very informative as well
fractal seems so wholesome. I remember previously seeing how happy he was when the first game crash happened, and I loved seeing him shoutout alex ts stream
When he won some tournament he gave this really wholesome speech taking a moment thanking the many parents driving the kids there and being supportive etc. heart warming dude 😊
I can honestly say, I don’t think a video game has ever experienced such a massive JUMP in progression the way Tetris has in the last year. It’s insane.
Gd?
nah people have gotten good at it but that's been happening since 1.9, it's always been crazy with progress@@Vespy621
"Is the game dead?"
16-year-old beats Jonas Neubauer.
"Is the game dead?"
16-year-old teaches you rolling.
"Is the game dead?"
13-year-old crashes the game.
"Is the game dead?"
15-year-old breaks so many world records,
"Is the game dead?"
Never question if Tetris is dying, it will always find a way to shock you.
I’m glad this blew up, because when it was only around 150k 2 days in, I was really sad that this monumental achievement wasn’t getting more recognition. Also, thank you for including where all the references came from. I recognized the newer ones when I watched the run on my own, but seeing that there were some old school references made the run that much more enjoyable.
Every time my understanding of Tetris is completely shattered by videos like this, another one follows suit within months and I realise just how much I STILL DIDN'Y KNOW! Coming back after BlueScuti's record video, this just gives me a more reinforced respect for this entire community. Its made me certain that even if I can't reach top tier gameplay level, keeping up with the higher speeds or aiming for the 1M score ceiling seems kind of exciting to me now. Fantastic video Scout.
I had no intention of watching a 40 minute video today. But after what felt like 15 minutes the video was over and I was at the edge of my seat the entire time. Great job with this one.
Agreed great storytelling!
Same. I only clicked to see what it was about because it got cross posted in another community in reddit (Osu!) due to how many similarities they both have: looks, voice, way of speaking, back to back accomplishments and proving everyone how good he is, etc... One of the most hype videos I've watched in a while!
totally agree, i had no idea that this world even existed, but i found myself routing for the lil dude, and the community at large, great vid
I was gonna go to bed, I don't regret staying up
Oh wow wtf me neither… didn’t realize how long this was
the mutual respect alex t has for the tetris community and the tetris community has for him is so heartwarming. this is how all competition should be
amazing video, was thrilling to watch how much passion goes into the community and the effort that went into this video
New sub for sure! Alex wasn't kidding when he said he was locked in, 'cause as a layman I have NO clue how u could be that focused on something that requires such a crazy processing and reaction time for that long. Hats off to him!!
Why is the production so high quality? I haven't touched Tetris once in my life but after a couple of your videos now I actually feel somewhat invested in the happenings of Tetris. Incredible videos, seriously.
Right?! I have no special interest in Tetris whatsoever and yet this video just touched me, somehow. The storytelling is amazing! And to think this isn't even a month ago!
Same for me, tetris is no game i want to play myself, but watching these people and ther journey throu the levels is amazing!
Same even though I actually keep losing interest. Yet these breakthrough videos keep dragging me back and exploding my mind ever since the Boom tetris for Jeff meme came out lol
When someone finally hits rebirth, I hope Game Scout compiles all of these videos onto one epic movie. Because that's the end right? Other than getting higher and higher world records, there's no next revolutionary chapter past rebirth? Unless...
UA-cam knows what you'll like.
Ya this video is SO well done on many levels. It could really be a mini movie
His real secret was that by quoting other top players, he was channeling their energy to help him play XD
It was some avatar energy fr
The Spirit Bomb of Tetris Power--the combined energy of everyone, including Jonas Neubauer.
Jonas Neubauer is the King Kai of Tetris, watching over the players as they achieve scores unfathomable in years past.
Thats some nice documentory . I watched whole video . Incredible work . Mentioning references and the editing is to totally art piece . Hats off to you .
I love coming back every major update and being like “aye i remember that guy!” “aye this kid is back!” what a wholesome community
it is INSANE how quickly we've gone from "yeah you can do this funny thing with ur hands to move pieces faster" to THIS absolute insanity.

This video is the most wholesome video I've watched on UA-cam. Fantastic video structure, music and commentary. 💯
Alex T for the past month: "AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN!!!!!!"
Alex grinds for rebirth tomorrow. Prepare yourself...
Fractal cleared 800 lines of charcoal then set the controller down and popped his knuckles.
he's built different
You're fucking joking. When Scout uploads a video it's a blessing and a curse. The curse? He won't be let off easy for long - someone immediately breaks a world record and that's it, another thing to add onto his bucketlist. It happens again when Scout's well on his way to finishing the damn video.

That illustration with the stairway to rebirth, with level markers, color schemes, and bombs is so very helpful to understand what's happening. Congrats on finding such a great way to visualize it!

@@sunte91 Probably not lmfao. I already know of April being the worst of the worst in a torrential workload of having to write so much stuff because Tetris players were beating world records like punching bags, that started I think in the runup to festive season.
i just got back from being a season 2 TWOWer and rising a whopping 8,103 ranks. And yet I somehow still missed the premiere of this long anticipated video.
The completely straight faced delivery of "and he takes a milk shower" absolutely killed me
edit: Also the staircase visuals area really well done, going above and beyond for this type of video!
This is such a sick video, Alex T, Fractal and all the competitors supporting are absolute legends. You explained Tetris so well, as someone who knows barely anything about the game, I understood.
What a fantastic community - these guys have a lot to be proud of themselves for, if only for the pure respect and joy they have for eachother's accomplishments. They don't let a loss defeat them, but instead see it as an opportunity to reach further and climb higher as pioneers. Hilarious and slightly bitter that this mentality of the early internet era that I cherished is now a torch best-kept by Tetris enthusiasts of all things, but even so, I'm incredibly grateful to all of you involved. Make sure you slay that dragon - I'm cheering for your success.
i just love how what was once the most feared level, Charcoal, and now tetris classic pros are now to the point where they arent afraid of it and can demolish it with ease for 810 lines. Insane.
also I WANT TO SEE A CONFETTI RUN
2018... 16yo beats Jonas Neubauer, 7-time champion
2021... 16yo teaches you rolling and breaks a previously impossible record
2023... 13yo hardlocks the game completely
2024... 15yo breaks basically all world records
You cannot break the compassion of young players. Each and every attempt to do so will not only end in failure, but utterly backfire.

Fascinating Video, I watched it all in one sitting and I loved your story telling!
All the screaming and memeing, Alex is such a natural showman. Zero shame or fear of cringe.
The last few months have been absolutely balls-nuts in the NES Tetris scene.
DECEMBER
The dark levels finally fall.
BlueScuti narrowly avoids a crash.
BlueScuti crashes. 6.7 million points.
JANUARY
Fractal and Andy crash.
Andy 8.9 mil record.
MARCH
Scout uploads a video but almost immediately Alex narrowly misses 10 million
But then Alex gets 10 rollovers
APRIL
Scout is very well into finishing the video but it happens again
Alex crashes
Alex progresses into 15 million far faster than the 16 million
Alex gets another slightly higher 16 million
We used to think Jonas Neubauer or Joseph Saelee was the most inhumanly good of the big Tetris players but now despite some very fierce competition I think it's Alex.
@@probium2832 I used to think Rebirth was impossible, but.... I don't think so anymore. It's going to happen.
@@MiraiGen Who knows maybe they are going to mess around and be trolling us again and get other NES Tetris world records that are NOT rebirth, before going for rebirth. That's what it feels like Alex has done.

Hi
Same lol his videos are always top notch!
I love your Tetris coverage! These top players blow my mind over and over again :D
thank you agamescout.. thank you... belive me since i like acasionally tetris, chess. etc. in my 45 age because of you i wouldnt follow this. first a few moths ago i have seen in my states offical news someone broke tetris. and than i watched your video. and than another about fractal and another about pixel andy.. all so intresting, dramatic, well put together and really appreciate those guys doing this spectacular things.. and today.. i thought what more can happen in tetris world.. and yes you deliverd or actually alex t.... fantastic.. from prelude, to middle game to the end.. and more.... and all that from blue scuti.. now from million of other you tube suggestions, this was great. not just entertaining, not just awe, great stuff maybe enriching. even though 95%people wouldnt appreciate it.. bravo for your yourney, your videos, and to the players!!

Who is the greatest and most important NES Tetris player of all time?
Yes.
the tetris competitive scene is a complete anomaly when it comes to esports. I've never seen a comp scene where it feels like people aren't competing against each other, but every competitor is spurring each other on to the ultimate goal of "beating" the game, where there aren't "winners" and "losers" in a tournament, the whole thing seems like a positive sum game that reinforces the absolutely fenominal community it has, with video games being adjacent to a lot of online abuse and negativity, to find something so against the grain when it comes to esport stereotypes puts faith in humanity for me as proof we can make something good that lasts. I hope the competitive tetris scene lives on forever into the future, and every person in its legacy be remembered wholeheartedly.
This is the same vibe that the national spelling bee in Washington DC has every year. Ultimately, it’s every contestant against the dictionary not against each other. Having been there two times with my son, it is the absolute coolest “competitive” experience. I am looking forward to going to see CTWC in Pasadena for the first time this year and seeing that same healthy competition.
So far Jayne Secker is the worst person to set foot on the Tetris community I know of. I haven't met a single person here accused or exposed of doing something unforgivably wrong.
Yooo, that video about blue scuti I watched and enjoyed, and this new development is real world anime arcs! Great content my guy
My favorite part of this video is how the world champion was so happy for the kid the whole time no hate in his heart Tetris community W
I feel like we just got out of the Dead Ball Era and we’re seeing the Ruths and Gehrigs of Tetris come out. Very exciting.
The staircase with the players leading the funny little grey T piece was a cool touch.
Also the way you set up the 810 line greeeen level made it such a horrible revalation lol. The music you played during it made it so dreadful.
Good video as always
Great video. Im not a tetris person but man is the tetris community awesome. Rivals that are genuinely rooting for you to do great things. This is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love your little MS Paint style drawings. They are the best. Amazing vid as usual!
I watched the 16 mil run on UA-cam, but didn't know he broke even more records after!
Alex is a seriously impressive player and it genuinely makes me happy to watch him just demolish all these records.
(Fractal doing 800 charcoal to prove it's possible is fucking insane too!)
25:50 to find out this legend is supporting his family by being the best tetris player in the world... im gonna cry
Grow up. Why the hell would you CRY about some kid you never met? Or about his family you never met? Pathetic.
i was thinking about how much work you have to made this video.
Congrats and good job!!!
I love how this channel kept showing up in my feed before I was subscribed. Always a pleasure to watch. I guess I need to sub now. LOL
6:51 I really like the detail where the size of the bombs represents the crash probabilities.
What a legend. Breaking the WR - TWICE - in two days...then during the 2nd run, throwing out references to other recordholders. Just...legendary.
This was so good and so hyped to see the new Summoning Salt vid too. Tetris runners are badass.
This was fantastic. Fastest subscription in a hot minute.
Fractal is easily the most positive e-sports player. He's such a good dude- It's nice to see in a sea of toxicity in other e-sports.
i think its because players see it in a different perspective, generally they don't see other players as competition, their only "enemy"/opponent is the game itself, as in they are all in the same team.
@@marufranco5281 That's a great point!
Even just as a sideline enjoyer of NES Tetris, the delivery of "The Tetris saga isn't over yet" felt extremely powerful. Excited to see what the future holds!
Beautiful video. I couldn’t help but smile the whole time. Proud of Alex!
This was such a cool video to watch keep making things like this please!
This is the most hype i've ever been about Tetris, this video is that well put together, thank you and thanks to Alex, the actual goat.
... Now for the salty part, I have to write it somehow or I'm gonna go insane.
Saying "this run does not count as a legitimate record" because Alex somehow avoided game crash without knowing it is the absolute most brain dead sentence you can ever write about any Tetris run. The run is there, on the same game every other player is playing, livestreamed to your face, him having this knowledge or not doesn't change this fact. The level of delusion should not be possible in this universe.
I was mad the first time this was mentioned in the video, now after the run is done I'm actually going crazy
You're absolutely right that it should count as the world record, however, you're wrong about him not knowing he was skipping the crash. He's playing on Tetris Gym, instead of an original cart, so know full well he's skipping the crashes (the uncapped score is a dead giveaway for this) - in the video he's just trolling, pretending that he doesn't know that it won't crash. If anything it makes what he does even more impressive, just spewing utter garbage the WHOLE time whilst playing games that all Tetris players before him could only imagine. You should check out the streams or full VODs, they're really fun and FULL of him just trolling and generally being wild.
I really love how some world records ended with something that caught the players offguard, Eric's first dusk, Andy's first Charcoal, Scuti's first crash, and Alex's first 810 lines being Greeeen, not Charcoal 😭. Now that everyone knows that after 810 Greeeeen, nothing can stop you from Rebirth (at least on Gym), everyone should be prepared for our first Rebirth on Gym!
Also I remember Eric's video did say that you can dodge Charcoal 810 lines by starting at a lower level on OG card, I wonder if the same applies for Gym?
it applies the same. what level you start on will always affect which 810 line level you get, even on gym
No idea how I ended up at this video, but I watched the entire thing and enjoyed every bit of it. Congrats to Alex and all the gamers keeping Tetris alive
I gotta say every time this guy makes a video like this, it gets in my recommended and I watch every single one in awe and appreciation. I gotta give a sub at this point.
I love the Tetris community for being a place that these young talented people can thrive and succeed. Constant mind blowing news coming from this 35 year old game and all of it positive. Keep protecting and elevating each other, it's so wholesome. And keep blowing my mind.
