It seems kind of like when you are immersed in a language from birth, getting fluent in it is effortless because your brain is just living it and growing around it. Kids these days are born into technology-rich settings where getting as good as you can at a video game as a hobby is no longer seen as a "waste of time" because even some older folks know what e-sports are. I love it. I am so stoked to see what the stable of top FPS players, speedrunners, and MOBA players looks like in the next ten to fifteen years. Tetris has felt like just the sneak preview.

[@EricSmyth4Christ]

[@RalinaPerene]

This tends to happen in any competition where excelling does not mean your opponent does poorly. Generally things where you compete against yourself and compare to another person. Tetris, speed running, pinball, and competitive board breaking are all very wholesome scenes where the other guy wants to win, but also wants to see you break the record.

[@Flufferpup]

@@inthefade Yup. There's a reason why it's very looked down upon to develop techniques in secret then suddenly drop a world record. Speedrunning is about collaboration, not glory.

[@fissionphoenix4995]

Fractal's happiness at Scuti reaching the true kill screen is peak human wholesomeness - while going for that goal of being the first to reach it, his humility won over to truly, genuinely appreciate seeing his rival beat it first.

At the end of the day, these kinds of competitions are primarily about personal improvement, rather than direct competition. The only way to get good at this kind of thing is to set your number one opponent as YOURSELF. You see this in traditional sports at the highest level as well, like running and swimming. There's a famous video of someone who just set a world record in swimming look up at the board, see that the swimmer in the lane next to him set a personal best, and celebrated their improvement as well.

I think it will be a while before people get that far. They have to clear another hundred levels under increasingly difficult restrictions, plus 800 lines on level 235. Some of the restrictions look really difficult to pull off individually, let alone stringing a hundred of them together into a single run. Someday, though.

[@TheMFGuy]

The year is 2047. It's the CTWC quarter finals. All of the competitors are 11 years old. TV one is hosting the fierce clash between Competitor A who has crash-dodged successfully to R1 (Rebirth one) and Competitor B, who, in a tragic twist of events, hit a Triple on level 252 causing him to TKS with a slight lead, sure to be lost. TV two features two of the fiercest competitors, both on R2. Chris Tang has tragically lost his voice over the 7 hours of quarter-final play and must resort to a button that shouts, "BOOM, Tetris" whenever he presses it

[@kes7774]

This was a great explanatory video. His achievement was also in the news in Japan, but there was little background information. Your explanation helped me understand that before he achieved the kill screen, there were various technological breakthroughs made by his predecessors, that the development of playing AI led to the discovery of unknown characteristics of the Tetris program itself, and that after the programmers analyzed the occurrence rate of the kill screen, the entire player community came together to challenge this extremely difficult barrier, "as if defeating Skynet." It is no wonder that many of his fellow community members were as happy as if it were their own achievement when he achieved his feat. For them, Tetris has the same meaning as "a powerful enemy to all life on Earth," such as Skynet in Terminator, the giant meteorite in Armageddon, or the alien army in Contra 3.

It was so touching when he said “I’m going to go on” when he missed his first chance. Some people might immediately give up, get mad, or let their feelings distract them. Yet he stayed so calm. Even during the second miss he stayed calm and just went with the moment. Such a good attitude to live by. Can’t find the original quote but here’s a close one: “Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.” He relaxed and let the uncontrollable take over, and just focused on playing the game to his best.

Then after a few more battles the final boss appears: "Crimson Demon" (I don't know what it's called, I'm just guessing it's a really cool name) And after finally defeating the final boss and earning the champion's title, the protagonist can go back to his village, where he wrestles some kids for fun.

Also can confirm, a lot of autistic people do really enjoy and get very fixated on Tetris, it was probably one of my earliest fixations to the point of experiencing the Tetris effect at multiple points in my life. (daydreaming the blocks irl) We can't diagnose a stranger online of course and shouldn't want to, but I do see the relateable traits, and whether Blue Scuti actually is or not doesn't change the fact that the reaction to his stream makes people who share similar reactions to excitement feel seen and not mocked for it.

I thought that seemed like the logical next goal. I was so confused when he was disappointed his game didn't crash because he didn't get a single. Surely that's good. Higher level, better score. Isn't that the aim of the game?

Being the first person to crash the game probably more satisfying than to set a line record that will be beaten in the future@@burgerbait

[@burgerbait]

@@Rahul-eh3rf very good point.

[@ConstantChaos1]

Yeah, kinda like physics where one question leads to a dozen others this record has splintered into like 3-4 others

The existence of Dusk and Charcoal are probably the coolest things I’ve ever seen in a video game ever

[@warmike]

and the fact that it's there by error

[@GermaphobeMusic]

It's up there with Pac-Man's wall of death and Mario's "World -1" in memorability

[@ConstantChaos1]

I'm here for the colour schemes tbh

[@rac1equalsbestgame853]

Dusk's very dark blue on a pitch black background is just so evil I love it

Who know where in the underwhere could we venture into…

Who knew that a documentary on Tetris and it's records would end in a philosophical note! ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
