man jonas streams were such a vibe. over a hundred people every stream who'd watch him and heather do literally anything in the world. it's something i hadn't seen anywhere else before, and maybe i never will again.
meanwhile alex t haha parmesan cheese
So true. only got to hop in a few dozen times into his community, but Jonas and Heather had a great way of making you feel like you were a long-time friend, even if you were there for the first time.
Very well said Champ!
i watched some of streams a while ago, and this explains it perfectly.
I would join that stream regularly. Honestly, the only stream I've ever just sat down and been part of live. I couldn't tell you what compelled that, but it was just a comfortable, cool, fun stream. Good times.
The Tetris community is so lucky to have someone like you who can make these excellent videos that can reach a wide audience!
literally
at this point gamescout is like 90% of the reason tetris gets onto the news lmao
Bro why do the scratchers have to be here
Everywhere I go scratchers are everywhere lmao
@@cringeSpeedrunner what do you mean by that?
@@tjtjtyjtyjtI think he just overdosed on coke...🤔
Just before he moved to Hawaii, I met with Jonas so he could autograph the cartridges for the Best of Five Kickstarter. When we were discussing where to sign, I pointed to the large blank area on the bottom of the cartridge. He declined. Instead, he went out of his way to sign in the smallest area possible so that the other past champions (Joseph and Harry at the time) had plenty of room to shine. That was Jonas in a nutshell. Everyone and everything he touched was better for it. I feel like that philosophy is still what defines the Tetris community today.
Did you ever tear up reading a UA-cam comment? Yes, I did...
I love stories like this.
I never knew Jonas died and I’ve followed the scene for 7 months dang man rest in peace. His legacy will never be forgotten
I've watched CTWC matches since 2019, and I was in huge shock when CTWC channel announced that Jonas passed away (Jan. 8, 2021 - he collapsed and died from cardiac arrhythmias three days ago)... Rest in peace, Jonas.
It's very sad 😞 He was killed by Joseph so he could take his throne
@@extremechimpout Read the room homie
@@extremechimpoutthat is a really bad way to put it
I also found out about it only recently from Summoning Salt's video...
Jonas was so nice every time you entered his streams and he always said hi to anyone that chat in his chatbox.
I still miss him because of that charisma and wanting to promote the game.
Thank you so much David for sharing the website! I truly appreciate it and hope everyone else enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it. Beautiful video and tribute to the goat Jonas Neubauer. It was him that inspired me to dive into the competitive NES Tetris scene and I just fell in love with the wonderful positive community. He is truly missed.
Thank you Muffyio! Great website!
Just visited the site. Great stuff, thanks 👏🏻
@@sunte91 Thanks so much. Glad you like it! :)
@@titopaul9299 Thank you very much! :)
As someone who just recently came across the whole tetris lore, your website is really what I had needed! Great work!
Real Title: The Legacy of Jonas.
true
Rest In Peace, Jonas.
You’d be proud of where this community would be at.
Fr
Fractal and Sidnev hugging in triumph after their phenomenal finale will always make me tear up.
I will never get over losing Jonas. Such a pure, pure soul.
I’m relatively new to the Tetris scene, hadn’t heard of Jonas until this video, seemed like a great guy.
Very funny and uplifting guy. He made everyone around him a better person through contagious joy and kindness.
Even if you're not YET a high visibility player Scout, thank you so much for moving the community in a positive direction. You continue to cement yourself as a pillar of our community, and we all couldn't be happier.
For me, the intangible that Jonas Neubauer had was an amazing personality with an ability to welcome people sincerely to the community. I remember your memorial video Scout where you talked about his kindness to you when you first came to CTWC as a new person before you had produced any popular videos.
I had my own share of that when I visited his live stream only one time and really enjoyed when he was talking about how much he enjoyed being married to his wife, so I gave him two dollars acknowledging the positive comments he was making. And when the game was over. He saw that I was a new contributor called out my name, toasted me and said thank you. I’ll never forget that.
Jonas passing always makes me cry. He was a dear friend and the greatest of all time of Tetris to me. 7x WC. Made the community what it is today.. I miss you Jonas
I’m really glad to see this video coming from you, aGameScout. I was curious if SummoningSalt would touch on the death and legacy of Jonas, and I’m glad he had the restraint to let someone so integral to the community tell the story. Phenomenal video, and thanks for all you do!
We’ll said!
he'll bring it up in his CTWC video he is going to make he said, it didnt really fit the pacing of the video to shoehorn it into the WR history video
Salt mentioned it on his Q&A vid, and explained quite well why he didn't mention it in that, but said that a CTWC video will be coming in a couple years where he will address it.
He said he didn't want to cram it in sideways where it wouldn't fit or do justice to the importance of Jonas.
Thank you Jonas
OMG Scout, what an AMAZING video! A needed and befitting tribute to Jonas for whom it can't be stated enough is the pillar of this community which led us to the thriving scene that exists today. Connecting the professional aspect of what we do reminded me of how competing in NES Tetris myself at NWC back in the day paved the way to make video games my entire life spanning multiple parallel jobs in the industry - and follow my dreams. Diversifying and leveraging gained skills is key - and its nice that you highlighted the standout options in the modern era. Seeing these kinds of opportunities open up - especially for the new generation of players - is exactly the kind of thing I'm so proud of our community for making possible. We all built *this* together piece by piece... but it was Jonas Neubauer who showed us the best way to stack, leading by example!
man... i wasn't expecting to shed tears because of a tetris video, R.I.P Jonas Neubauer
I definitely understand why Salt didn't entirely cover the full rise and tragedy of Jonas during his Tetris history. It was way more fitting to allow someone covering these tournaments in greater detail to be the one to really go at length on him. Salt is all about record progression and the people who made new strategies, this one is about the full community.
It's great to see so many young people (like late Gen Z-Alpha) getting into a classic 8-bit version of Tetris. And I have CRAZY respect for these guys' skills. Back in the days when I played it as a kid it took me a lot of practice to get good enough to clear Level 9 even (which is just half the speed of Level 18, or 1/6 the speed of Level 29 & beyond).
Just to name some communities: CTWC (World), CTEC (Europe), CTG (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), Tetris Suomi (Finland), CTUK (UK), CTI (Italy), CTF (France), -Classic- Tetris Polska (Poland), Classic Tetris LATAM (Latin America), Classic Tetris BeNeLux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxemburg), CT Iberia (Spain, Portugal), Singapore... feel free to add
Sorry for being slightly Euro-Centric (It's what I know best)
It's so crazy that his is so big is so many places that there are organizations for each place!
Poland rebranded into Tetris Polska after my departure afaik
@@ChrisFORYST Thanks for the clarification. Are you gonna be at CTWC this year again?
@@tolstoj_ Me? Well, I will [REDACTED] :P
Rest in peace to Jonas, he sounds like an amazing and friendly person, who really did help the community a lot❤️
Rolling being so much easier than hypertapping makes me wonder if Jonas could have made a comeback had he lived long enough to give rolling a shot. Alas, we'll never know. But he can rest easy knowing that the community he helped build is now thriving.
Super informative and entertaining video! Thanks again for the shoutout! 💯
I remember getting into tetris in 2019. It's such a huge thing now.
It's weird being a part of a community when it starts blowing up. You really don't notice it happening until one day you realize the AlexT stream you're watching has 4k viewers lol.
Really curious what the viewer count will be for CTWC this year.
5:10 Crash Course mention! Nice
May Jonas rest in peace.
Rest easy Jonas. And thank you
Your content just keeps improving and Summoning Salt gave you a shout out in his Tetris video! You have been a great ambassador for the game as well!
hi, random Dane and friend of Svavar here....
that bar that sponsored him is a local Icelandic place in Copenhagen that had the good Brennívin (the standard "Black Death" stuff)...
they have since moved location, so don't know if it's the same as the old place....
oh, and he recently moved to New York and has an office on the 79th floor of the world trade center....
Amazing video, well done. I never got to meet Jonas in person but when I did talk to him online he always had a positive attitude towards me and his audience. Rest in peace Jonas.
Thank you for bringing this community to such a wide audience
Tetris blew up so much we love to see it
7:20 I have once again made a background appearance in a scout video
I love videos like this. I've found myself watching a bunch of Tetris recently and learning about the history of the community is awesome. Thanks for making this!
I think about Jonas passing so often man it is genuinely so crazy that it happened so fast😭
The comraderie of the players shines through in everything they do, building up and supporting each other. Even as they individually are pushing for rebirth they are all recognising and believing in each other.
It's a great community and it wouldn't be what it is without Jonas having shown the way. He is missed, but his memory is a blessing.
And again, Scout proves what a great positive influence he is in the Tetris community! Such a great video, so well told and perfectly crafted!
Nice video, David! The last section was a lovely tribute to Jonas.
Glad you've managed to talk about Jonas in such a nice way. With the growth of the scene since 2021, it had never occurred to me that newer fans might not have even heard about Jonas, someone who had such a positive impact on many, many individuals within the community (myself included). His legacy is one that deserves to live on for a long time. LYMYMI
Thanks for providing this for those who are new to the community. It warmed my heart to see so much of Jonas. What a great guy.
Great video as always scout!
The donations some days at Alex T's streams are insane, but also well deserved
I’ve been playing and following the scene since 2017-18 and seeing Jonas pass was the saddest thing for this community but it also brought it all together. R.i.p
Tears!! I couldn't get through that without tears running down my cheeks. That was a beautiful video, and I will definitely be watching that 40 minute video about Jonas that you referenced at the end.
Thank you!
Another banger video. Nice job scout
I really enjoyed this. You really make great content mate.
I cannot help to get watery eyes when i see footage of Jonas. He was a great motor of this community. Rest in peace!
Lovely video scout! ❤
Awesome video! I love Jonas Neubauer content, and am quite surprised there wasn't any more of it after he passed away. He was such a likeable person and a great ambassador for the scene.
One small comment, at 1:58 you said the number of max outs is a tie breaker, but surely you meant it the other way around: the number of max-outs is the leading score, the highest non-maxout score is the tie-breaker.
Yeah I definitely have been drawn to games of Tetris because of the community. I don't know if I'll ever engage with the Tetra scene more than just watching UA-cam videos about it and it's community, but that sense of community is what drew me in.
I'm so lucky knowing this channel 🙏
I remember winning the Long Island Tetris championship in 2018 and thinking this game just needs a little more of a nudge to prove that even more greatness and popularity is possible. Then a couple of months later Joseph Salee beat Jonas Neubauer in that historic showdown. The whole Tetris scene absolutely blew up since then and the community has grown exponentially. Its been a wild ride since then and we've gone from being shocked by a maxout to talking about grinding for rebirth.
Jonas seemed like such a wholesome dude. We need more people like him.
Such a great audience and community ethos. So good 👏
Your editing is excellent 👍👍👍
Amazing video Scout! May I speak for us all, and I say, Rest in Peace Jonas. We still miss you, even 3 years later.
aGameScout, Your videos are fantastic! I just had to subscribe!
Always enjoy your videos Scout - you are the Tetris Historian!
AGAMESCOUT VIDEO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BABYYYYYYYYYYY
Very interesting video. This explains it much better
Rest in peace Jonas, you were the Feliks Zemdegs of Tetris.
I was shocked at how many of the players I recognized, and suddenly remembered a few years ago when everyone at CTWC seemed unfamiliar. Your videos have done such a great job of helping me get to know each player. Can't wait to see them live at CTWC this year.
RIP Jonas. love that they engraves that quote on the trophys
Would love to see you expand on this. Highlighting what has gone on in other countries in modern Tetris could be very interesting.2006-9 in japan is cool.
Love the vid gamescout! ❤
love the video always!!!
wow its crazy how entertaining i find this
another banger as always, scout
Always love when Scout drops
consistent quality uploads dont know what else to say bro
Your Voice is so nice to listen to
Jonas will always be missed. Rest in peace goat.
I remember Jonas once in a while and I’ve always missed him. RIP to the goat.
How I remember it, things blew up a couple years before Joseph, with the “boom Tetris for Jeff” year.
But either way, it was a massive blow when Jonas was lost.
I never knew there was a tetris documentary, I'm gonna go watch that right now
Earliest i have ever been to a gamescout video
I will never forget when I first came across Jonas on UA-cam and it fundamentally changed my life. I couldn’t believe that a grown man would care about something so “silly “as Tetris, I had a warped view of what was important and what wasn’t and it really taught me That if you give value to something that it has value, it doesn’t need to have anything inherently. If being the best at Tetris is the most important thing in the world to you than by god it is.
First seeing a new video, i thought it was about rebirth
I love the NES Tetris scene so much. It's the only large community I've ever been a part of where every person within it is full of positivity, passion, and lifting others up. No matter your age, background, or skill level, everyone is welcomed and appreciated for sharing the same love of an old classic video game.
Reguardless of my ability to further my skills in the game, I can not wait to continue competing for many years to come!
See yinz in Cali in two weeks! ~Draco
Scout, don't be so humble. You are a big part of why this community succeeded as well, being the first guy to bring a successful journalistic effort and popularize the game to thousands of people.
I'm in tears... Great Homage to Jonas!
5:50 i cannot unsee wolfe glick in that stock image
Oh man, the quote on the thropy made me tear up 🥲
I just miss Jonas, man. Couldn't have asked for a better ambassador for the game.
9:22 You deserve for it to be mentioned that he wasn't just inspired by any UA-cam video's. They we're yours! Super well made video as always! You also uploaded it right as I finished my own essay about Tetris, haha
these are always a joy to watch. reminds me of wirtual and his TM videos. just good people with a passion for a game
lol this is like a “esports for dummies” video, and I love it.
Obviously the first half of the video. Jonas seems like the reason the community is so kind and respectful. Rip to that man.
I grew up in the NES era, but everything I know about Tetris is from aGameScout. He brought the community to casuals like me
Dammit scout why you gotta make me cry… 😢
But not for long, because I know Jonas would want us to continue as we have been, carrying on his legacy of a positive and supportive community. Thank you scout and thank you Jonas!!
can you do an explainer on the different "ways" to play NES Tetris? Gameshark codes? Tetris Gym? Level 39 kill screen? How does that effect glitches, game crashes and world records?
aGameScout is back!!! YAYAY!!!!
Gone but not forgotten
Rest In Peace Jonas Neubauer, you will be missed
Rest in peace Jonas
I get a little giddy every time I see a new agamescout
Thank you for bringing back Jonas's legacy
He joined the Tetris Gods and convinced them to finally allow the new generation break all those barriers ❤️😊
0:18
I am a tetris fan, and a great speedcuber.
I miss Jonas soo much... Such a loss... Wish he could witness how classic tetris scene changed
Bro I just heard about competitive Tetris and I’m fully in now lmaooo
