Breaks record and gets almost 4 million points!! Tops out at 40k in CTM. I love this game!

What’s incredible to me is that 1 year ago today, on April fools, Joseph posted his world record of 1.4M, which at the time was groundbreaking. It’s insane how much the game has evolved in one short year. Incredible work man, here’s to 10M

I’m reminded of a quote from the 1968 Mexico City Olympics. The long jump was a record that had started to seem like it had truly reached its limit, with the record getting broken by only fractions of inches, eventually culminating in 27 feet, 4.75 inches by Ralph Boston. On October 18th, 1964, Bob Beamon Jumped 29 feet 2.5 inches, beating the previous world record by 1 foot 9.75 inches. One of humanity’s greatest physical accomplishments of all time. Period. Fellow competitor, and former long jump world record holder Igor Ter-Ovanesyan said this about Beamon’s jump, “Compared to that jump, we are children” What Eric accomplished on April 1st, 2022, beating the world record by 1.4 million points, is one of the greatest gaming accomplishments of all time. Period. Paragraph. Compared to this game, we are children.

Writing "JONAS" at the end was a very beautiful touch to a fantastic performance!

I think CTWC should consider having two simultaneous competitions. One for head to head sprints to the "killscreen" and a second marathon style, last man standing wins. The marathon finals could also be top 10 qualified race simultaneously. That way efficiency is still important, but without nerfing the insane post 29 play.

@dandanthedandan7558

2 жыл бұрын

I think the current format is still fine. If the meta will heavily focus on post-29 play in the future, pre-29 will have less of an impact, yeah, but efficiency in making post-29 tetrises allows for a bigger jump in score allowing one to burn more often, allowing a longer marathon. Efficiency is still important

@michadonald

@@dandanthedandan7558 The problem is that the top post 29 players eventually will be able to line out indefinitely. (Barring stupid mistakes) I think the head to head meta will inevitably go in that direction. My suggestion is for if/when that occurs.

@dantedeloden

2 жыл бұрын

@@michadonald well, if someone who can post 29 play, plays efficient and gets to level 50ish, but still manages about a 50-60% tetris rate, their score would be SO HIGH in comparison to someone who lined like crazy and reached near level 90 with like a 10% or less tetris rate. early post 29 he was gaining 75k+ per tetris, but his final tetris i believe was roughly 110k+. so even EARLY post 29, efficiency > lining period. HOWEVER, if you CAN LINE forever AND be efficient. you in theory could have a line out game into the 70-80 level area THEN try to max efficiency, which would do great IF u can survive long enough. this is why efficiency even early post 29 is still important

@dantedeloden

2 жыл бұрын

and if ur that efficient at tetrising post 29, why line to 80 just to do it. just keep tetrising the entire time if ur that good. and this game SHOWS how NOT ONLY efficient he WAS playing, but how SCARED and TIMID he was about topping out, he built near tetris like 50 times, SHOULD have finished building, but got scared and burned down the stack. yet u see 3 or so scenarios where he misplaces, is about 7-8 high with holes, and digs out no problem. HE CAN efficiently run post 29. he just needs to CHOOSE to basically.

what an a game! GGs all over man. the competitive scenario changed so much over the years! at the beginning it was a marathon to see who could reach maxout, then it became a race to get more points before killscreen, and now it's an endurance against infinity! amazing! what will be coming next?

So amazing!! Keep it up! This motivated me to get back into Tetris!

Congrats! Great game, i didn't want it to end!

Love the Tetris players community. Seems proper chill and everyone happy with others success. I wonder if Joseph will ever be seen in a finals again and if so we he have to master rolling?

I admit when I saw you post it in Discord I didn't believe it. I guess it was just hilarious timing. Congrats on an absolute statement of a score!

Some people really did not believe that Thor could have gotten a maxout _or_ level 30. Thor claimed he got both many times, and now we know that's probably true. It's funny how something can seem impossible until you see people do it. I also love the part of that movie where I think Harry is talking to Thor about getting to level 30 with a center well strat. Thor was convinced that if Harry can max the game out, he can easily get to 30 with that strat, and Harry just seems amazed. Part of the reason nobody could get to 30 is that they didn't even really try, because it just seemed too hard.

These guys are not speedrunners. You can speedrun Tetris but the major accomplishments in total points or levels have nothing to do with speedrunning.

An absolute beauty, every single bit of it, except for the part where the camera dies, we need to get you one that does not die that easily, also even though the game ended yet it ended in the way that Jonas mostly expect, that is with a Z (maybe with the other Z idk) :D
