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).

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.

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.

Fascinating Video, I watched it all in one sitting and I loved your story telling!

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 😊

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

I love your Tetris coverage! These top players blow my mind over and over again :D

Amazing video, amazing storytelling! I never knew Tetris was so competitive and communal but damn I was so invested!!

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.

Fractal cleared 800 lines of charcoal then set the controller down and popped his knuckles.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

Also now im really into watching tetris lmao never wouldve thought that would happen.

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

This video is so well made, such a great documentary. Got me back into watching nes tetris.

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 find myself invested and heavily rooting for him. In general, I can appreciate the ever-progressing proficiency and perfection of technique and mastery. Through the years, I’ve been decently competitive in chess, magic the gathering, yugioh, and also as a mixed martial artist trying to increase efficiency and tactical advantage (min/maxing) by fractions of a second in combat with combos and footwork/movement, or draw rate consistency in deck building and theory crafting to find best possible plays in any scenario for yugioh and mtg, and understanding of how a game moves from early to mid to end game in chess and what plays are ever for what pieces in a board state, etc. so although I only ever casually played tetris and got to some higher post 20 levels in Dr. Mario, I can still appreciate the passion, commitment, and innovation the tetris community has had for breaking new ground. And it’s almost like everyone although competing with each other, are also giving each other encouragement and rooting for each other, which is inspiring and I find myself cheering him on in the video as I yell at the screen haha. The spirit of man, his run through the fire, and his resurrection.

Now I can’t wait for Alex T to reach level 255. Trust he will achieve this. Even his commentary is entertaining. Much respect

if the 810 line level gets the charcoal color scheme for a possible endurance record run, it's no longer "Charcoal" anymore. It's "The Long Night".

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 watched the 16 mil run on KZread, 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!)

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.

Amazing video, never been interested in tetris yet I wasn't able to stop watching. Congrats to Alex, crazy story.

I've been playing Tetris since I got it for my birthday way back in 1989, 35 years now. So proud of this kid, such a stellar accomplishment. Looking forward to watching this kid going forward.

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?
